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

[Rocksa]

Feast trilogy

Spoiler: sure the first one wasn't so bad...

I mean, it was a nice little creature feature that did some unexpected things. Not such a bad movie, although I kind of hoped that when the car stalled at the end, that maybe the woman would start to walk back for her scissor spear thing and one the the creatures would tackle her. You know, make a flick where nobody got out alive. Seemed like the better ending for a movie like that.

Part two and three on the other hand.

Part two had it's own merits, there were some really shocking moments, and it really had that over the top grindhouse movie vibe going for it. The ending was a cliffhanger, but we knew there'd be a third movie, so that wasn't so bad. Didn't explain a damn thing though, but we figure that they save it for the third.

The third ends with the remaining survivors basically eating the big badassed hybrid creature until it dies, then walking out of the sewer, having the old guy say that they need to get it on to repopulate the world, and then having everybody who isn't the old guy be stepped on by a giant fucking robot that was not explained at all. And to top it all off, we get a mariachi style singer singing about the Feast Trilogy and how maybe there'll be a part four that might explain something, or maybe not. What the hell. I mean, I didn't expect some kind of super complex plot here, or an explanation that made a lot of sense, but I did expect there to be some kind of, well, ending. Some explanation and some resolution. Just something at least.

I've never actually read any comics beyond Watchmen and V for Vendetta, both recommended by a friend.
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.

Exactly. (See: X-Men Origins, Deadpool) I didn't care about that, I though he was awesome.
I guess since I'm not passionate about comics or those books in particular, loyalty towards source material doesn't bug me all that much. The only film I really read into and compared it to the thing it was based off of was "The Wrestler" since wrestling is my big thing. It did a good job, and was a great movie, but went to the extremes when it came to the issues of drug use and the "wrestler lifestyle."

Indy 4. Where did the aliens come from?

 

[MiracleOfSound]

The Mist

Spolier (durh)






The dude kills his son and the other people in the car with him. Then he runs out of the car screaming for the monstors to come kill him. 2 seconds later, the army rolls in to save the day, making his mercy killing pointless.

The book was open ended! Why not the movie?!

What! The ending of The Mist was amazing... you may not have enjoyed it but by God you will NEVER forget it...

2001

Spoiler

????????!!!

That's just because you don't get it. I liked it

Yeah I thought the ending of 2001 was great, it's open to your own interpretation.

What I saw was

Spoiler

he travels beyond space and physics, meets god and witnesses the rebirth of human evolution

Epic in the proper sense of the word.

or momento, cause i had no idea what the fuck was going on.

Memento was amazing! WTF people? Watch it again but just use your brain, things happen backwards in that movie, the end is the beginning is the end.

I thought it was pretty good until I realized that it was made for biblehumpers, by biblehumpers.
EDIT: Also, the alien plot was pretty shit.

By Biblehumpers you mean Christians or anti-Christians?

Because I'm a Christian and I thought it was the most ridiculous thing ever.

The fact that they failed at doing so doesn't mean that they didn't try to make it for Christians.

 

[sgtshock]

Well for me, off the top of my head I can name these as being terrible.

Spoiler: Taken

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.

Spoiler

After watching that entire movie, you were unsatisfied that he was reunited with his daughter and it was a happy ending? I understand that it wasn't exactly realistic, but the whole point of the movie was a father thirsty for revenge, killing everyone who did this to his daughter so he can be with her again. Ending with him dead or in jail would've ruined the entire movie, realistic or not.

Then it was made by crazy psycho Christians who probably shouldn't be calling themselves Christians. Because I saw it with my youth group and we all thought it was idiotic and extremely blasphemous.

 

[bad peanut]

No Country for Old Men. I'm going to assume you know what happened. I mean, I know that it was intentional and all, but... well, that doesn't mean that I'm not allowed to be disappointed.

Overall I really enjoyed that movie, probably because it was so different. But you are right, the ending wasn't that great, although I half expected it.

Tell that to Indiana Jones.

 

[Neotericity]

The Mist was pretty bad, but Blood Diamond was worse and had a similar 'happy' ending as Taken except in this context it was even more terrible.

 

[Kaboose the Moose]

Spoiler: Indiana Jones Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

One of the worst endings ever. It is so painful that I can't bring myself to recap it, but still, aliens??..Really??. "From the space between the spaces??". Honestly, an ending where he had gone into the spaceship and forced to be frozen in carbonite only to reemerge as Han Solo would have saved it for me.

 

[Aedrial]

Im starting to see a trend here....

 

[Anarchy In Detroit]

The biggest offender is the Matrix series.

The first one was cool and the rest were a downward spiral.

The newest Indiana Jones... oh my god they did a good job ripping apart the best series ever before crapping on it's dead body.

Spoiler

It wasn't so much that it ended happily, it was just that everything leading up to that left you with the sense that the father was supposed to be killed, and then it never happens. I don't know, I like happy endings, don't get me wrong, it's just that it felt like an ill fit for this film. A scene with the French guy apologizing and saying something like he'd keep the dad's name out of reports would have made it better for me, or maybe some scene with his mercenary computer buddy, giving him some intel saying that nobody knew it was him. Something like that. As it was it just felt like a third act rewrite, like they did some other ending and a test audience said they didn't like it, so they changed it. I guess what I'm trying to say is that it just felt too happy, too neat and perfect.

That movie was good until the end too, so they're in the same boat.

 

[Zedzero]

Anyone got an ending that pretty much screwed with your head that badly that you couldn't even remember the point of the whole thing?

Crank

Spoiler

Mine would be Crank... he just strangles the guy to death, calls his girlfriend (all while in midair) and then hits the ground, trampolines a few feet back and then he blinks and the credits roll... obviously he survived... considering there is a sequel... but still pretty strange.

Mindhunters was a great movie, but the end sucked because of the cheesiest one liner I have ever heard...

Spoiler

The killer uses the weaknesses of all the other FBI profilers to kill them... and at the end after they killed the bad guy one guy said "I guess we know what his weakness is... bullets."

Again, loved the movie... but that one line makes me want to never watch it again.

A friend used a variant of that quote for a job interview. The person was like "What's your greatest weakness?" to which he replied "Either fire or bullets."

Please tell me he got the job.

Either way he deserves a hi-five

He does! Give him a hi-five for me! I would hire that guy, but fire him 3 days later.

Hitman, that all I have to say

I cant remember the ending, but i really enjoyed that film - Can you re-jog my memory?

 

[Seekster]

Birds...I wont spoil it for those who havnt seen it...and I dont know how to do the spoiler tag thing so I cant do that anyway...but basically its almost like they ran out of film.
