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 |

"Episode Five...crops start to grow again...", etc. |

Quoted: Quoted: Might as well get this out of the way now… No Country for Old Men. Yeah, I was like, what just happened. I absolutely love that movie, and think the ending is perfect. You know, kinda like the book. |

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.

View Quote 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. |

Quoted: I am Legend... Absolutely the WORST lame ass ending EVER !!! https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQpOSstFnRvSdwVV6Ht1v5iXiWtE1HPgxGRPwGANhLsjEHRAcx3GPq92p-tzfAu7f5-sZ4&usqp=CAU BIGGER_HAMMER View Quote That's a good call, agreed. I hated that ending. Although I was a little disappointed in that whole movie. |

The original version of the Thomas Crown Affair with Steve McQueen
Very grim ending The newer version with Pierce Brosan? Ended totally different |

The Magnificent Seven (the newer one)
Too many of the seven died, and the Gatling gun seemed over the top. |

Prometheus, but the "end" was the whole last half of the 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.

Quoted: 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. View Quote Ya, that ending was a real cop out. |

I am Legend. The alternate ending I saw later on youtube was much better.

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. |

[b]Quoted: Collateral Click To View Spoiler Jamie Foxx doesn't die. Django Unchained Click To View Spoiler Jamie Foxx doesn't die. Law Abiding Citizen Click To View Spoiler Jamie Foxx doesn't die. View Quote It never clicked for me till your post. But that really has ruined several great movies. |

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.

But his short stories are damn good. Many made into movies. Creepshow 2 "The Raft", Cats Eye "The Ledge" "Quitters Incorporated", The Mist, Rita Hayworth and the shawshank redemption, Apt Pupil |

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. |

Quoted: The Departed. Who was Dignam (Wahlberg) really working for and what was the real reason for Sullivan’s (Damon) murder? View Quote 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. |
