Movie endings you hate

[gsdx]

I read they tried to pass the movie off as the whole LOTR.

Could have been. I saw it when it first came out. Haven't seen it since and remember very little about it except that I thought Mr. Frodo was cute.

Another issue it had was that it purposefully called Saruman "Aruman" part of the time and "Saruman" the rest of it.

I was nine, and even at that age, I felt the writers had painted themselves into a corner, and had no idea what to do. So they must have said "Let's kinda make it look like they go to heaven...but make it vague and confusing."

It hardly stood alone in the long history of confusing scifi movie endings...

The Strangers ugh!

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

I agree, that ending was major suckage.

The ending didn't stand out, as the rest of the movie was mostly made of SUCK to begin with.

Exactly.

I came into this thread to see if someone had listed Brokeback Mountain. I have to say that I agree with you. I left the theater irritated and upset at that ending, and I've never watched the movie again since.

And it's not because it doesn't have a 'fairy-tale happy ending'. I can't say why for sure...but something about it just frustrated me.

Could it be because throughout the whole film we get both of their stories, but at the end we only see what Ennis's fears were about Jack's death? We see Jack's story as he gets older, but then suddenly for something as significant as the cause of his death we're left to interpret what really happened. Was it really a freak accident, as Ennis is told, or does his death by violence really happen? Were the flashes Ennis had just his own thoughts, influenced by the story he heard about the two ranchers who were murdered?

That was the only thing that bothered me essentially--we had been given a story of two people all along, and then at the end it was left ambiguous and only through the eyes of one character.

M. Knight Shyamalan's The Happening. Really, Shyamalan--really? The plants got angry? REALLY?!

I hoped, in my heart of hearts, that it would be good. Or at least watchable.

Neither happened.
