The Road. Probably the most depressing movie ever, and there is no end in sight. THe story didn't end, there was no light at the end of the tunnel, not even a train. Maybe that was the idea, but nothing happened. Maybe that was what made it so depressing, there was no end to the story. It just seemed to go on and on and

Identity with John Cusack.  They revealed that the main character was just one of many dissociative identities of a mental patient, and THEN had those identities have a mental gunfight with each other.  Which had no emotional weight at that point because you already knew it was all in the one guy's head.

Wow.   Great ending!   I can't believe I've never seen that before.

ETA:   Dark City.   I loved the concept, the visuals were stunning, the story was great, and the ending was...meh.    It's heralded now as a visionary film, but to me it's just 3/4's of a film.

Soon as that one goober desided to take off his helmet and breathe the alien planet's atmosphere. That shit was ignunt.  It even got ignunter....the chick with the fresh 12" alien Caesarian wound did all those acrobatics post-surgery? That was taking the gurl-power BS to beyod absurdity.

Did a seventh grader write the storyline?

The one that really pissed me of was Smilla’s Sense of Snow.  You take a great slow burn character study / conspiracy thriller … and duct tape to it an alien worm story that looks like it came from a Roger Corman movie.  Literally WTF.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

We all sat in the theater waiting for the movie to restart after the credits. It didn't.

It's not that the ending was necessarily bad - it was very much true to the Python spirit.  It was just unsatisfying.

Hannibal

It was a cop out to the original ending in book. Read the novel in 9th grade I think.

The movie has Lector going abroad after chopping off his hand. The book had Starling falling for Lector in the end in some sort of twisted estranged love affair and leaving with him.

All of the later Stephen King movies... he gets this great story going on for hours and then the end is “And it was space aliens!” and winds it up in the most awkward choppy fashion - see Dreamcatcher, It, Tommyknockers, etc.

I was going to say Titanic but because the character throws the jewelry into the ocean at the end. Like come on, that’s probably worth millions, donate it to charity or a museum.

Always felt King got bored at the end of his novels and cocked up some shit endings. But his short stories are damn good. Many made into movies.

One of my problems with The Road is the kid pretty much just hands over his revolver at the end and the guy says he doesn’t want it. It doesn’t show the kid was innocent or something like that, it shows he’s a naive and hasn’t learned anything. The one thing that should be most important to you, you just try and hand over without a thought or care in the world.

Who was Dignam (Wahlberg) really working for and what was the real reason for Sullivan’s (Damon) murder?

Watch it again. Costingan told the girl to mail the tapes if he got killed, I imagine they were addressed to Dignam. Dignam figured out that Sullivan was the rat that got Queenan and the others killed.

Plus Dignam hated Sullivan anyway.
