Movie endings that just piss you off.

[Ender]

Do you think the ending is jus bad? Or do you think it makes no sense? Did it come out of nowhere and leave you with no sense of closure? Or did it just bother you the way things panned out? Whatever your reason, bitch about it here.

For me, it's THE VANISHING.


***SPOILERS!!!***

I mean the 1988 Dutch version, not the 93 American remake. This is not only one of the most disturbing (in a deeply bad way) ending to any movie I've ever seen, it's also the stupidest. I mean, here we've been building to this confrontation the whole movie and what happens? "Oh yes, I kiled your girlfriend. You want to know how I did it? Drink this drugged coffee and I'll show you." AND THE GUY FUCKING DOES IT?! WHAT THE FUCK?!!!!

And people were so full of shit trying to defend the ending to me: "Oh, but didn't you buy it? Didn't it make sense in the context of the chracter? Didn't you want to know as bad as he did?" No, no, it didn't make sense in ANY context, and no, I did not want to know as bad as he did. I would never have drank the coffee, because I'm not fucking brain damaged, as Gene Bervoets obviously was.

[Scorpio24]

Well it all depends on the viewer the context. I haven't seen the filmig you are reffering to so I can' comment.

Although I will say most endings peole have big problems with I tend to love.

I love endings that don't clear everything up for you. I want to ponder What if? at the end of movies.

Like I said different folks different strokes.

I have a feeling this one will be brought up multiple times anyway, so I'll go ahead and say... High Tension.
I was mildly enjoying it on a "slasher" flick level (it would've been a 6/10 up until the ending) then it just drives off a cliff, flops around on the rocks at the bottom and finally someone has the mercy to put it out of its misery, but not before it made my me yell out obscenities at my TV screen.

The ending to Pirates 2 pissed me off.

Yeah, yeah, i know they have to set it all up for the next installment...

This one I disagree with and I'm sure others will too. Who says that HT was only "meant" to be a "slasher" movie? Who says it couldn't go the extra mile and add a psychological aspect to it? A lot of the movie ultimately didn't happen and only took place in Marie's imagination - thus leaving alternate events. If you think logically (and yes, with this movie, you can), it's not hard to figure out what really obviously happened. Yeah, they played around it, but by the end, everything does make sense.














































SPOILERS OVER!!







So, there.

[Kevin Lockard]

I just remembered Freddy vs Jason. That ending really pissed me off. Okay, I understand that both Freddy and Jason "fans" (I doubt very few people actually chose a side passionately so, I know I didn't, though I was hoping Jason owned Freddy) were satisified but still, I wanted to see one kill the other, regardless of what happened to him afterwards. Instead, we get a film that tried to please both "sides" of the fight by having them both reign supreme to a certain extent at the very end. No balls.

Does this mean you are one of the few who liked the ending to Matrix: Revolutions?

Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within comes to mind. The movie was pretty good up until the end. The climax just throws a bunch of plot twists at us at super speed, and they progressively get sillier and more contrived. Still love the movie on a technical level, though.:D

[ComeNightfall]

ITA with High Tension. The movie was rocking and rolling up until that ending. I can appreciate a twist ending like many others, but that one was just pathetic.

Another shitty one was Jason Takes Manhattan. I wasn't expecting class and quality with this movie, but SPOILER







having Jason revert back to a child after being covered in toxic sludge was a totally WTF moment and the ending made sure this was the worst sequel in all of the F13 movies. People crap all over #5, but #8 was pure crud.

[Tyler_Durden_208]

The thing I hate about Jason Takes Manhattan is that the name implies that Jason is gonna be slaughtering people in New York, but yet it ends up that he only kills the people on the boat, and ends up in New York for about the last 15 - 20 mins. of the film.

As Ive said elsewhere, they cut the budget in half after the script was finalized. Originally, he was on the boat for 10-15 minutes, and new york the rest of the way. But when they dropped the ball, they had to do somethnig dramatic.

Yeah, I remember that being said, but still. Why not have it as a surprise at the end. Call it Jason Take "A Cruise" or something equally moronic? I dunno, the movie sucks regardless.

[Duke Nukem]

A lot of people don't get the ending to F13 Part 8. At the end, when we see what's left of Jason after the sewer run, we're only seeing through the heroine's eyes. She was the one who had a past with Jason and especially remembered seeing a younger Jason trying to drown her in Crystal Lake. When she saw Jason defeated, she "hypothetically" saw the little mongloid that once tried to drown finally dead. That's why we saw it that way. We already saw how Jason really looked underneath the mask beforehand, so we didn't have to see all that again. It was meant to be a different and creative ending. Go ahead, argue that '"Friday The 13th" movies aren't supposed to be deep...", but you can't say they didn't try something different.

Same thing with the rest of the movie, too. Yeah, even after the budget was slashed and after the script scenario was played around, they still teased us with Jason primarily taking on a city atmosphere. But, they still showed Jason in another different atmosphere as well - a cruise ship. A cruise ship and a city. Again, you can't say they didn't try something different.

Mulholland Dr spoilers:

The ending is a series of flashbacks, but since no dissolve edits are used, but jump cuts, it comes out as purposefully incoherent so the audience can figure it out for themselves instead of being spoon-fed, like a crappy Hollywood film would.:p basically, we find out that the brunette the blonde was in love with is a whore who sleeps with directors to get roles and stuff. so the naomi watts character goes to see that hitman guy, who tells her that he will leave a blue key behind once the job is done.

the flashback ends, we see her sitting at the couch. we know the flashback has ended because she's back in the clothes she was wearing earlier when she woke up from bed. she notices the blue key on the table - her lover is dead, its all her fault. the creepy old people (her parents, obviously. we were introduced to them near the start of the film) enter, but they're presented in such a surreal way, its obviously symbolism - it'll be symbolism for her guilt, most likely. anyway, thats why she kills herself.

[Jim H]

Play it Forward's ending is both stupid and annoying.


***SPOILERS****





It felt like they just had to spice it up with some tragedy, rather than it being logical or a natural extension of the story. Just an abrupt, meaningless death in a pretty crappy film.

Agreed!

*SPOILERS*

The last twenty minutes of that movie were ruined by the stupid mutant-alien mutant. The thing was fake and the story didn't even attempt to explain it. I know they were using it to contrast Ripley, another character with both DNA, but they didn't really take advantage of the opportunity . . . and the way it dies is too discustingly graphic for an alien film. Remember how the first two managed to be good without buckets of gore? This movie cheapened the franchise severely.

Exactly but what I hated (besides just saying the entire movie itself) is that Rennie supposely was "pulled under by Jason" as a child, as if the 11 year old Jason remained underwater all that time (if he even drowned in the first place.)

I know that's hole in the Jason mythology. In fact, if the movie remained a straight-forward slasher movie like the first seven movies, the movie probably would have been much better. But, as is, it doesn't bother me that much. It's still a decent slasher movie in my eyes.

[Cyclonus]

First off, I agree that the ending for High Tension was arbituary and unneccessary, but otherwise it was an effective horror film. If you want me to mention a film that no one else here did, I'd make a case for A Nightmare on Elm Street. A good movie, for the most part, except for that illogical final scene (which was influenced by Phantasm, I think).

Im gonna get flamed, because I know alot of people PREFER that ending to the US one. But, come ON!

SPOILERS FOR THE DESCENT

In the US version it ends after our heroine gets into the car after escaping the cave, and sees the image of her dead friend, as one final jjump scare.

In the UK version it keeps going, and our heroine wakes up, STILL IN THE CAVE, and more then half the movie has been a dream, A FUCKING DREAM.

Better yet, lets go back to when she was in the hospital, and erase the whole fucking movie I watched!

Why do people prefer that ending??

The only part that was a dream is her getting out of the cave, e.g., the past 2 minutes of the film, not the last 45.

Erm, you misinterprated it. The 'descent' the film's title actually refers to the main character's descent into madness. She knows she's going to die, so her mind snaps completely and she imagines she's at the birthday party - when really she's trapped in the cave.

I didn't think much of the movie, but I quite liked that ending, it was very Lynch.

[ElderPredator]

For me, it's the ending of both "Mystic River" and "Million Dollar Baby" but I won't get into it since it turns into a huge argument.

I also agree with High Tension. Stupid ending.

I also sadly must agree with A Nightmare on Elm Street. Good movie, kind of cheesy ending.

Infact, ANY horror movie that has to leave audiences with one last cheap scare or has to leave a door open for a sequel. For instance, one that comes to mind are the I Know What you Did Last Summer movies. Stupid endings.

Wow, really? I love that ending. Having Freddy grab Marge and pull her through the door used to give me nightmares as a kid.

I'd have to go with the 1979 version of Nosferatu myself. I just didn't like the fact that Mina sacrifices herself and Jonathan is STILL a vampire. It also doesn't make sense for Jonathan, being a vampire, asking for his horse after the sun has just risen.

Other than that though, it's a great film. Beautiful cinematography and a great homage to the 1922 original.

Probably because it doesn't have one.

The Wachowskis wrote Reloaded and Revolutions as one movie, but due to running time (and the fact that two movies usually make more money than one), they selected a point at which to cut the movie in half and show it in theaters in two sittings. Notice that, conversely, Revolutions has no beginning.

Tarantino was in the same situation and his transition was much smoother. Reloaded just had a sour feeling to it.

[ElderPredator]

The ending to "The Matrix Revolutions" still makes absolutely no sense to me at all. I'm not easily stumped by a movie but that is just fucked up. Why couldn't they have just given it a proper conclusion? I'd give anything to rewrite the script and film the the two sequels all over again.

T3 - Rise of the Machines. I hated the ending because I thought it was just a blatant set up for T4, if they decide to make it.

That ending confused me as well because there were so many sub-plots that had to be tied up. This resulted in a load of twist endings shoved into one final scene. Especially the part with the name on the sign, and the nurse. That was just crazy. They should've stuck with just the one twist.

[stickmangrit]

uuuuhhhh, yeah...

first, fuck Haute Tension. fuck it in the neck with a power drill beacause that ending managed to totally destroy a so;id fi;m's worth of beautiful pacing, suspense, and gore. and then suddenly the movie is cleanly cleavered into the one half that never happened(killer recieving fellatio from disembodied head, numerous searches for main character), and another half that makes no goddamned logistical sense whatsoever(how the fucking truck got there, how the MC followed in a different car, how she comforted her friend/victim whilst shooting the boy with the friend treating her as a psycho the whole time). just utterly fucked.

secondly, Matrix. lets take this on quickly:

the principle theme of the film is opposites and cycles. the final battle between Neo and Smith is the culmination of the cycle begun at the end of the first film. Smith enters Neo, just as Neo entered Smith, and the exact same results occur, except this time Neo returns to the source instead of remaining in the Matrix/real world. that real-world Neo has light pouring out of his orifices is a vastly misleading visual. Neo and Smith, when merged, cancel each other out.

and yes, Matrix Reloaded should have ended with Neo ressurecting Trinity, not continuing twenty minutes into the next storyline.

I love the ending to the original ANOES as well. The only problem was with Marge getting yanked by Freddy through that hole in the door. It looked completely fake. It would have been better to just have the door slightly left open and have Freddy still drag her in and then have the door being completely shut. That would have pretty much been the same ending, except....better, lol.


Die Hard With A Vengeance....okay, I love the idea of Simon doing what Hans couldn't: Pulling off a far more difficult robbery (in all of New York, not just in one buildng of a corporation in LA, I might add) but also getting away with it, only to be tracked down and stopped anyways. However, that's also the problem. He gets tracked down just like that that very night. I think the alternate ending on the DVD was way better. Now, on the DVD, it's only a rough cut because they filmed it and quickly decided that they weren't gonna go with it and so they left it as it were. But the idea of it would have been so much better to go with instead of the somewhat "tacked on" original ending that we have now.

[mutesaint]

I've got one that nobody has mentioned. The Breakup. I mentioned this in my film class and got raked over the coals for it. I wanted a damn happy ending. I'm usually all up for realism but for some reason I wanted them to end up together. I guess I was in the mood for fluff or something.

Also, The Puffy Chair. I hated that ending. Granted I didnt like the movie much. I just didnt like a single character in the mmovie. It made the ending seem to be just a pointless act of depression.

Smith enters Neo, just as Neo entered Smith, and the exact same results occur, except this time Neo returns to the source instead of remaining in the Matrix/real world. that real-world Neo has light pouring out of his orifices is a vastly misleading visual. Neo and Smith, when merged, cancel each other out.

and yes, Matrix Reloaded should have ended with Neo ressurecting Trinity, not continuing twenty minutes into the next storyline.

Thank you! At least someone gets it!:D

Y'know, I'm not quite happy about Howard the Duck ended.

[parsonz]

superman returns ending pissed me of when we found out that kid has powers also like waht the fuck

[moviebuff01]

the village- thought the ending was terrible and made the movie even worse than it already was.

collateral- i thought it was kinda cool how cruise's chracter was talking about how a man rode the train the whole day and no one took notice and that was his fate, but jamie foxx's character should have killed him a different way. there is no way that a taxi driver is going to beat a professional hitman in a gunfight, especially when they are standing right in front of each other like that.

[moviebuff01]

godfather III- I loved the Godfather trilogy, absolutely amazing. the only thing i didnt like about the whole trilogy was the ending, he just falls over dead. he should have said something memorable, reminiscing about his life about the ups and downs and his thoughts about his decisions, whether or not he was satisfied with things... i dont know, but something like that... don't just fall out of your seat dead.

I have a feeling this one will be brought up multiple times anyway, so I'll go ahead and say... High Tension.
I was mildly enjoying it on a "slasher" flick level (it would've been a 6/10 up until the ending) then it just drives off a cliff, flops around on the rocks at the bottom and finally someone has the mercy to put it out of its misery, but not before it made my me yell out obscenities at my TV screen.

I agree with you completely. I actually really enjoyed High Tension and thought it was one of the more visceral and imaginative horror films I had seen in a long time until the ending.

************************Spoilers****************** ********

I truthfully don't know why so many people are enamored with the multiple personality ending in so many films. It seems like after its been done so many times that filmmakers would eventually phase it out. I'm not trying to make this too harsh criticism of Alexandre Aja, because like I said I really liked all of the preceding elements of High Tension. But I think the idea of some random and brutally torturous stranger coming out of nowhere to kill you was the thing that really frightened about High Tension, and then at the very end its all written off.

To be honest, the entire crapfest of a movie pissed me off but the ending was the shittiest ending. I wanted to throw my controller right through the TV. It was stupid.


Totally agree. I don't even consider it to be a legit film in the series.

SPOILERS FOR HIGH TENSION





The ending was revealing that the movie was actually ....the woman's story. It's what SHE thought happened on that night ("Are we recording?" in the beginning proves this).

The real story is an entirely different movie altogether.

The worst movie ending ever to me is the WAR OF THE WORLDS REMAKE by my favorite director of all time.

*******************SPOILERS!!!!!!***************** **********************'
























..........The second the brat son walked out of the door alive and well to meet Tom Cruise i felt like walking out. That was such shit. That kid got nuked 50 different ways all at once.

I raked my brain afterward to figure out how he pulld off that wonderful magic trick of teleportation, but it wasnt till i saw THE PRESTIEGE that i figured it out.:eek:

[Tyler_Durden_208]

Totally agree Shockwave. I liked the movie up until that point... Stupid "happy" endings...

[outsyder]

Well it is Steven Spielberg after all. I mean, the man made a movie about the Holocaust that had a happy ending for crying out loud.

[Shockwave]

**********************SPOILERS FOR THE WOW REMAKE!*****************















I dont mind happy endings, but this one was totaly off-the-wall unexplainable other then the kid has powers beyond any mortal man.

It just pissed me off. I kept thinking when the kid walked out that it was a dream or something, and Cruise was gonna wake up still captured in that alien pod thing, getting ready to die.

That would have been cool.

[Tyler_Durden_208]

*SPOILERS FOR WOTW (2005)*
Yeah. Anything but that happy indestructible kid coming out of the house at the end. I think Spielberg, despite his dislike of commentaries, should do one over that ending to explain exactly what he was thinking... Or wasn't thinking.
*END SPOILERS*

[gyro_44]

I agree about the WOTW ending. I have a feeling Spielberg would defend it by saying "that's what happens in the book!", but I still felt the last 15 minutes or so were totally anticlimactic and not very well translated to the viewer.

****SPOILERY STUFF****


I didn't much care for the ending in Criminal with John C. Reilly and Diego Luna. One of those conning the cons endings.

Also, the ending of Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 is one of the only endings that ever made me say, "What the fuck was that?"

I dunno if I'd call it particularly happy... Just not completely unhappy. Bittersweet at the very best.

General's Daughter.

- - -

A group of soldiers gang rapes a fellow female soldier, and the whole film goes around the investigation of the events surrounding the rape. Then on the 3rd act this plotline is COMPLETELY ignored and the rapists are never brought to justice - It seemed as if the filmmakers forget about the whole event. There is never any kind of closure and instead the film only deals with the general who convinced her daughter to not to report the rape. We even know who the rapists are, but the protagonist of the film doesn't even try to bring them to justice. I mean, WTF?

Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed

SPOILERS






For starters, I always hate the concept. The cutesy kid with the monster in the pit/cage. I've seen it in numerous other films and stories, hell there's a movie based on the idea called The Pit.

Not only did it seem kind of tacked on and ridiculous, it also didn't make any sense. The werewolves of the Ginger Snaps universe are VERY STRONG and they would not be able to be held in a trap door. Not to mention how would she get rid of people in the area? She opens the door and they both die.

SInce it doesn't actually show us what happens later, I guess I can take comfort in the fact the stupid bitch probably got killed almost immediately after.

Braveheart. I didn't have any problem with what happened. I just thought it was a downer not to see the final battle.

True Romance also. It was a nice ending to an ultraviolent movie but I just preferred the one Tarantino wrote where Clarence actually dies. I don't think it would have done any damage to the movie. For me, I found I was in it for the ride. I didn't give a fuck if the kids made it through together.
