Movies that were pretty good but HATED the ending...

[BorderEevilIII]

Just got thru watching PRIME....

I wondered why it was called this but figured out why.......


***SPOILERS***










Towards the ending

I assume that its gonna be a happily ever after ending between Uma Thurman and newcomer Bryan Greenberg.........

NOOOOOOOOOOOO..............


The movie leads you to believe that they are NO LONGER TOGETHER...
When Greenberg goes back to the resturaunt and a hat that he forgot sees Thurman at a table. Greenberg freaks and slips out hoping that Uma did not see him. Then he peaks from the door outside and Thurman notices him and they look at each other.


WHAT DA FUK?!?!?

DO I assume that Thurman who plays 37 and Greenberg who is 23 in the movie. Thurman breaks it off so that Greenberg being that he is still wet behind the ears should live life first before settiling down w/ whomever permamently?

Alexander
Collateral

I don't know if this counts, but Psycho is obviously one of the greatest movies ever made, but the scene almost at the end where Norman's condition is explained is unnecessary to the point that it actually detracts somewhat from the film. Hitchcock should have just cut immediately from the previous scene to the scene of Norman in the cell.

Other than that, I thought Identity was pretty good until its twist, which just ruined the whole movie for me.

[jaw2929]

Actually everyone's going to shit on this movie... But I quite enjoyed Swim Fan right up until the last 3 minutes or so, which turned it into a COMPLETE FUCKING PILE OF SHITE. :o

I did wanna break something when..........




*SPOILERS!*







When Justin Long gets whisked off by the creature. GREAT! :mad:
And to add insult the ending just seemed LAME IMO:confused:

[Shockwave]

UNBREAKABLE

I love this movie, but i hate text endings.

[Backstabba]

Paparazzi (fun movie, cheesy ending)

That's really all I can think of.

Signs
Planet of the Apes
I Know What You Did Last Summer

High Tension - Stupid ending actually ruined the movie for me
White Noise - lame ending makes what could have been a great movie into just a very good one

The whole (spoiler?) army thing in 28 Days Later bothered the fuck out of me.

But easily the worst ending for me was Kalifornia. The issue I had being

SPOILER, SO DON'T READ THIS SHIT IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN KALIFORNIA:



it was a pretty awesome movie and I really dug Brad Pitt and Juliete Lewis but all of a sudden instead of being a movie that was showing how people are more complex then just good and evil, Brad Pitt goes fucking psycho and becomes the average film badguy and David Duchovny becomes the hero or whatever. Seems to me the whole movie was a character study for Brad Pitt, showing me how interresting and complex the character of a serial killer was, and then it turned all good and evil bullshit.

Agree, disagree?

[X-Nightcrawler]

A History of Violence.

Great movie but the ending left me with a completely empty feeling.

[DareDevil]

War of the Worlds (2005)

Though i did hate the whole movie, the ending was the nail in the coffin.

Minority Report
War of the Worlds

Spielberg has a real problem with ending his movie as of late in a real shitty way.

[Hucksta G]

I agree with:

War of the Worlds
A History of Violence


But must add:
STRANGE DAYS!!!!

Might as well throw in "MUNICH"........
The ending for me seemed sooooooo WHATEVER :mad:

[APzombie]

The Descent (us ending)

The Munich ending was amazing.

[PSU80]

I hate the ending to Collateral or any film which ends in a trained professional getting killed by a 9 to 5 average Joe. It's all a morality tale which drives me up the fucking wall.

[Tony_Montana]

Running Scared is what comes to mind. I'm pretty sure theres more but I can't think of them atm.

[chinton]

While I love Hitchcock I ahve to agree we didn't need the doctor explanation. On the other hand it probably made sense considering the censors of the time.

I just never think of it becuase Psycho redeems itself with one of the my favorite final shots. Very creepy along with that great line "Why I wouldn't even hurt a fly."

[chinton]

Oh and I have to add Short Cuts.

I was tolerating the movie up to the earthquake ending which didn't really do anything except just be there. Metaphor or not it just seemed unconnected to anyhting going on and felt like the writer had no idea where to go next.

Yeah



********SPOILERS FOR JEEPERS CREEPERS*********









The US ending has Darry screaming. The UK ending didn't. It wasn't really clear what was happening and it confused me when we just see a shot of Darry with no eyes, minus screaming. I mean, how the fuck are we supposed to know what's going on? Couldn't get past the bloody censors, could it? :mad:

I'm so glad others thought the ending was crap. The movie was pretty decent until that ending! It was a poor excuse for a mindfuck.

[Brando @$$ Fat]

*SPOILERS*


The Breakfast Club- it appeared to be a coming-of-age film about accepting people for who they are, yet at the end they take the independent free-spirited girl and transform her into a prep. That's not coming-of-age, that's just plain evil.

I know, I couldnt believe it was over. I thought something was wrong with my DVD.

[RandalGraves]

I'm gonna have to add "The Break Up" to my list.

Hmm...and here I was thinking violence was rated equally in US and the UK. Guess not. On the topic, the screaming was what made it disturbing, and it always quite gets to me as well.

Also, I agree about The Breakfast Club and White Noise.

SPOILERS




Natural Born Killers (the alternate ending makes alot more sense and is so much better anyhow)

Die Hard With A Vengeance (felt tacked on)

Collateral (Vincent shoots the way he does and Jamie Foxx ends up killing him? Didn't buy it)

Land Of The Dead (I get it, it just doesn't work well)

Scarlet Diva (An art film up until the point where the guy standing in the light comes........whatever, it seemed like she didn't know how to end the film so she threw this in there)

The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things (It just kinda ends.....)

[moviebuff01]

Godfather III
- I wish there was a dramatic reminiscing speech about his life, but he just falls over dead

War of the Worlds
Collateral
High Tension
- all been stated, i agree with them completely

The Village

[ElderPredator]

Mystic River - Such a great movie up until the end. Kevin Bacon knows for a fact that Sean Penn killed Tim Robbin's character yet he does absolutely nothing because Sean is the so-called "king of the neighbourhood". What a bunch of bullshit!

The Godfather - Part III - If I was Coppolla, I would have had the assassin kill both Michael and Vincent and therefore ending the male bloodline of the Corleone's except for Micheal's son who would have nothing to do with it to begin with. The Corleone empire would then have died away. Why did they have to kill the daughter?

Million Dollar Baby - Why the fuck must Clint Eastwood end every single movie he directs on such a horrible note? It drives me nuts. I was so inspired by Million Dollar Baby just to watch the poor girl suffer and die at the end of the film. Bullshit!

It wasn't a horrible note, it wouldn't even have had half the impact if it had been the other way around. It was very moving, plus, not everything in the film's ending was bad. If you can't watch a movie with a bad ending then why the fuck even bother?

You bring up a great point for sure Brando and you're right. It just pissed me right off. I just hated the ending even though I still love the movie very much. I just don't know how to explain it. I'm not good with endings like that which means that Clint did his job well.

I didn't mean to sound like a prick when I said it....if it came out that way....it's just that sometimes a bad ending is good.

Oh no, not at all. You made a good point. I'm just not used to liking the bad endings so that's something I have to work on. :D

[Suziecue]

*SPOILER*

Matchstick Men. I love this movie but I hate that everything after Roy met his new shrink was one long con. The movie takes you down this long road with this guy finding his long lost daughter and all that and they begin to be a family and just when the poor guy is starting to have a life, the movie goes the other direction. Very unpredictable movie, but I sort of felt as if I had been conned:D . Anyway, he sees the grifter who played his daughter about a year later and alls well? he's still pretending that she's his daughter? wtf. However, I still watch it often because I love that performance that Cage gave, Rockwell and Lohman also gave damn good performances.

I also hated the way these ended:

Pay if Forward
28 Days

The Aviator: Now this one I rate 9.5/10 BUT after hearing Leo repeat "The way of the future" over and over in the mirror at the end, it would have been nice to see a blurb or something telling us what happened to Howard after that and when he died, after sitting through such a long movie which tells us so much about his childhood and his claim to fame.

[dreamcurls]

Well I liked Lock,Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, but my roomy didn't like the abrupt ending. It frustrated him, haha! I liked not knowing what happens. It leaves room for the imagination. You can choose to believe what you like about what Tom did next.

I disagree about Godfather 3. That is actually my favorite ending of a movie ever cause it's just so emotional, the way he silently screams and pays for his sins through his daughter's death (a little like Derek paying for his through Danny in AMX) and then eventually dying all alone, with the music and everything--it was great.

But I also noticed a blooper in it. When Mary dies, Vincent turns around and screams "No, Mary!" and then in the next shot, look at the guy walking up the steps in the background. It's Vincent, and yet you can still hear his voice from the shot before!! Also, when Michael starts the "silent scream", Vincent is back in the same spot as he was when he killed the assassin. Watch closely!

However, I don't know if you know this about Mystic River but I read a Clint Eastwood interview just a few weeks back about the Mystic River ending. Haven't seen it in awhile so don't know exactly but Clint said Kevin Bacon motions his hands like a gun and shoots it toward Sean Penn when he turns his back on him, hinting that Bacon will possibly go after Penn and try to throw him back in jail. It was left up to interpertation in the movie but in the book, it's made VERY clear that that's what Bacon's character is gonna do.

Another movie ending where I wanted to break something :mad:
I as director would have had the bitch slapped and sucker punch the idiot friend that left her knocked up as they looked suprised when they got interuppted. But then again the two love bird fools deserved each other and there would have NOT had that James Ingram song as seen in the ending of the movie. :D

I totally agree with you. That bitch pissed me off. That dude treated her like crap and she went back to him even after he knocked her up and his nice friend took care of her. What a bitch! You're right...they deserved each other. :D
