Biggest Bullshit Ending for a Movie *Spoilers..... Probably*

That piece of crap ripoff Alien vs Hunter, the ending is the surviving characters walking into the sunset cheerfully with all their friends corpses rotting behind them, the ending would of been good if the whole movie was a juxtaposition.
Macbeth. Of course it's first and foremost a play, but it's been made into a movie.
So MacB's wife, who I'd marked as the evil ***** who drove Macbeth to all of his king-murdering and throne-stealing (if he killed the king, why would he suddenly be next in line for the throne anyway?) is the one who dies of guilt, not Macbeth. That's either a major plot hole or extremely sexist. So then Macbeth, who sees part of his prophecy being fulfilled, freaks out and leaves the safety of his castle to fight an army that's out to kill him. But he's still all like, "you can't kill me! No man of woman born can!" So then, AND ONLY THEN, does Macduff reveal that no, he was "from his mother's wound untimely ripped". I think a C-Section still counts as being of woman born. Anyway, this minor detail, which other than being the Deus Ex Machina has NO REASON WHATSOEVER for its existence, is used to kill Macbeth and bring peace, happiness, and...oh wait! More monarchy! Macduff promotes his friends to earls! But wait a minute! It's not Macduff who becomes king, it's Malcolm, despite not having killed Macbeth.
And not even a correct ending, in the original the main character finds out that the vampires/monsters were actually scared of him and considered him to be the monster because he was killing so many if there kind, so the main character kills himself realising that these vampires/monsters were the next stage of human evolution. Hollywood decided to scrap this idea and tag on the whole Will Smith saves the world AGAIN.Bhcf6693 said:
Exactly. I have no problem with the first movie in a trilogy not having anything resolved, I just wasn't happy this time because it was The Matrix. My reaction was something along the lines of "Oh god, there's gonna be MORE!?" Sadly, because I'm a good friend, I saw the other two against my better judgment. Though, I was thrilled when Rifftrax came out for Matrix and Matrix 2. Hilarious.Aedrial said:
As for V for Vendetta, I saw it, thought it was ok. Why do you a...it's the red "R" in the circle, isn't it? No, I didn't base my avatar on V for Vendetta, I just have this amazing ability to create something, think it was my own idea, then find out someone else did something similar before me.
hahaha somehow I find that hilariously awesomeCuniculus said:

I hated the Pirates 2 (Dead Man's Chest) ending...yeah it wasn't so much the fact that it was a cliffhanger but all the stuff it introduced (what??? he's alive?? whaat? is HE dead???) but...well, looking back it wasn't all that bad but at the time it was like blaeijrklfkadsf
Oh, cool. Like I said, it was ok. I didn't read the original comic, so that might be why I wasn't into it like some people I knew, who went crazy over the idea of it being a movie. Not a bad movie, but not one of my favorites. I did like Hugo Weaving as V. He's always good. Hell, he was my favorite character in The Matrix movies.Aedrial said:
I still believe that the Wachowski brothers' movies are crap, and Keanu Reeves can't act to save his life.
Did you like V for Vendetta?
When I first saw it, I loved it... then I read the comic and I realised how much they left out and got wrong. Kinda ruined the experience, like what I did with Watchmen, I enjoyed the comic far more than the movie, although it wasn't a bad movie, just a little disappointing in some aspects. I still think the giant squid thing, would have been epic.MK Tha Rebel said:
Well of course. Giant squids make everything better!Aedrial said:
I don't read comics, so I don' have anything to judge the movie by, other than entertainment value. With movies like Iron Man, X-men, and Spiderman, I watched the cartoons when I was a kid, so for them, I had something to go by. Still, as long as the movie was entertaining, Faithfulness to the source material doesn't matter too much to me, unless they REALLY screw something up.
I've never actually read any comics beyond Watchmen and V for Vendetta, both recommended by a friend.MK Tha Rebel said:
I think Eragon is a perfect example of why you should stick to the actual storyline of a book/comic, because if you give the writers too much leg room, god knows what might happen.

Love the show but ugh, the one liners from that guy make you either want to laugh or punch him.
Well for me, off the top of my head I can name these as being terrible.
Movie ends with Sam just deciding to get right back on the bus instead of staying in the town. Everybody still lives their tragic lives out with nobody being any freaking bit wiser about it. Crazy church lady goes on killing kids without any bad reprecussions, the kid that Sam could potentially save is shown reaching out of his cage for anybody to save him, and the weird meteor still infects somebody. I know they were trying to make the ending like the one from Donnie Darko, but come the hell on, that movie ended with everybody knowing that something had happened, with them wanting to repent for their sins and knowing that Donnie was actually a terrible loss to them all. That movie ends with me thinking that Swayze's character is going to turn himself in, and that Frank might not drive drunk ever again. S. Darko leaves me feeling hollow.
I like this movie. This is the type of film that I describe to others as being "the ultimate 'dad' film" in that I like to think that any father would want to do exactly what this guy does in the case that this happens to our kid. That we have it within ourselves to go all badass Rambo mixed with Bond on the asses of every last person involved with the taking of our child. Fair enough. What I hated here was how it ended though. He screws over most of the French government, kills a very well connected man that has apparently been a pillar in the French criminal underworld, whose loss would spark a huge power vacuum and a ton of bloodshed to see it filled, and last, but certainly not least, he kills a god damned Sheik. Read the last bit there again. A Sheik. And it all ends with him not being gunned down or blown up, no, he saves his daughter, takes her home, and then takes her to some pop star's house so she can be a singer, roll fricken' credits.
I'm no expert on international politics, or law, but it seems that the guy should, at very least, be in some sort of prison after the crap he pulls. Just killed it for me to see him happy in the end.

Both decent movies, not great, but decent ways to kill time. Both are, however, set up for sequels that will never come, and leave you hanging with worlds only partly built or explained. Both suck for this reason and this reason alone.
