Films with terrible endings [Archive]

Hi all

Due to unforseen circumstances I have hardly left my house for the past 4 or 5 days and went on a bit of a DVD splurge.

A lot of the ones I watched seemed to be reasonable films until the last 15-20 minutes or so and then they went haywire.

This thread is likely to contain spoilers.

Two of the films I watched were:

Harry Brown - Excellent Michael Caine film, with a poor ending. In my opinion the film would have made more dramatic sense had he died.

Law Abiding Citizen - Not a great film but the final 20 minutes were just ridiculous and didn't seem to make any sense in terms of the film's message, in so much as it had one.

An honorable mention to AI which everyone seemed to hate but I liked. Mentally though I stoppped the film when he was at the bottom of the sea.

Anyway, long story short, what films have you enjoyed until a disastrous ending?

The Matrix.

The second and third films were terrible endings for the first one. ;)

That will be a plus on not having watched the 2nd or 3rd film.

Although, that was because I wasn't hugely impressed with the first one.

Splice. Goes from "pleasant sci-fi drama" to "nonsense horror" at the drop of a hat. It stinked of studio interference.

"The Human Centipede" I thought it was a comic-book adaptation about a man with the power of nature's greatest metamorph and then...and then...Gahhh! I can't go on!! My eyes!!!

(Also, Zardoz)

(Also 2: AI gets special mention as the only film me and the missus have walked out of, when the ending became too silly for words. Specifically, the words, "let's stay and watch the end")

Lets not forget about the final Highlander movie....

Or the creepy end to transformers 1 where megan fox and shilo Buff are making out in front of the entire autobot force.

Angry red planet.... They all should have died when they thought they were running out of oxygen. Thats where the movie ended for me anyway.

And even though it was a terrible move, the last half hour of observe and report was RIDICULOUS... like, really ridiculous.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt.1 . Worst. Ending. Ever.

Star Wars Episode 3. Weak, even being held against the previous two.

Neon Genesis Evangelion. Classic weaksauce right there.

X/1999. Weak on a level that redefines weak.

Citizen Kane... "Rosebud" WTH?

Have to say I thought the beginning and end scene of Citizen Kane were definately it's strong points.

I don't think it is quite as good as people say, but I think that's because of the pacing in the middle.

The Social Network is another film where I wasn't sure about the ending. I got the film and thought it was good but to me it just seemed to stop at a random arbitrary point. Not hating that ending as some others but they have mostly slipped my mind right now.

Deathly Hallows I am looking at as some kind of intermission right now since it is supposed to be one entire book.

I think one of the worst movies I have seen was "Ultra Violet".

And I agree A.I. should have ended when it 'ended', not the additional half hour after the fact.

The Mini-series IT. Clοwns are Scary, having it just turn out to be a big spider in disguise kind of made it lose something for me.

Also by Stephen King. The Stand, really interesting series, ruined by the Hand of God coming out of the heavens like the hand in the National Lottery adverts and going "IT'S YOU!".

I had issues with Donnie Darko , It gets to the end and it feels like he decides that he's a Tragic Hero and does the douchy Tragic Hero thing. OK S. Darko explains why it was the right thing to do, however I don't think the sections of the book that make it a sensible decision are quoted in the original film. (BTW I liked S. Darko, it has some wonderful scenery shooting and cinematography, reminds me a bit of Easy Rider)

If you haven't seen it, this also helps explain it.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt.1 . Worst. Ending. Ever.

My only complaint about this complaint is that I've seen Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince and it's ending was worse. It begins with Harry Potter finding a book belonging to the Half Blood Prince. Skip ahead to the end and for no apparent reason and completely unprompted Snape announces that he is the Half Blood Prince. I know this had a lot to do with Snape being in love with Harry's mother and it was a big story point in the book, but it had NOTHING TO DO WITH THE MOVE VERSION!

And to be fair Deathly Hallows didn't actually end, it cliffhanged like an old live-action Batman series episode. We'll watch how it ends at the Same Harry Time, Same Harry Channel.

. . .

Same Potter Time, Same Potter Channel? That still doesn't work!

. . .

It just doesn't work with a name like Harry Potter. She should have called the character something more thrilling like Beef Studpile!

Will Studpile be able to recover the three Deathly Hallows? Will he be able to find and destroy every last Horcrux?
Find out, Same Beefy Time, Same Beefy Channel!

Yes Nathan you can just live safe in the knowledge that all clοwns are really giant spider. I think it makes them less scary.

Shutter Island.

What a letdown. I had managed to avoid all the spoilers about Shutter Island, but I still had it worked out from the first scene. It just seemed like a completely obvious twist - so overworked and obvious, I spent most of the film hoping I was wrong, but being continually proved right as the film dropped its little clues here and there. I still enjoyed it, though. The sturm und drang made a lot more sense, for one.

IT, yeah the Giant spider thing just made me want to punch Stephen King in the face.

I also totally agree about Law Abiding Citizen. The movie was great, then it just seemed like they decided to cop out on the ending and it became very lame.

How about great endings???

The Mist. One of the funniest ending ever. I laughed out loud in the theatre. Great stuff!

The one that immediately springs to mind is Unbreakable. I thought the first 4/5s of the movie was brilliant and should've ended when Willis' character embraced his role as a superhero. Cut to credits when he steps outside wearing his slicker, listen to the accolades rush in.

But no, Shamalamadingdong had to reveal a twist at the end. "I'm your archnemesis!" No you're not! You're a moronic wannabe bad guy for "telling" you're an archnemesis instead of "showing" you're an archnemesis... in the SEQUEL!

That's one movie where the sequel would've been brilliant, with the good guy (Willis) trying to hunt down the one causing pain to others, only to watch it lead back to Samuel L. Total waste revealing all that at the end of the original movie. Total waste. :banghead:

How could I have forgotten Bridge to Terabithia! It was a good movie up until they killed the one interesting character, then the kid with no personality carries on without her and builds a bridge, but he still isn't interesting! The movie should have started rolling the credits as soon as the main character died. The other kid simply was incapable of moving past being a two dimensional character. Yes, he tried, but failed!

Another movie I forgot about. You're right, his is how it should have ended, but didn't. The plot device in the movie is there to move the plot along, not tell us what should have been revealed!

I didn't mind Unbreakable, but it was the first M. Pretentious middle name Shamylamylon film I saw. I was really disappointed when I saw the Sixth Sense. I think once you have watch one of his films all the rest seem really predictable and rubbish, though I did enjoy the Village.

If you want to talk about a bad M. Pretentious middle name Shamylamylon film, what about Signs. In the end it turns out the stupid aliens who are allergic to water, decided to attack a planet that is covered in 1,260,000,000,000,000,000,000 liters of water. That would be lame by itself. But the main characters are saved because God in his wisdom gave the daughter OCD so she kept pouring glasses of water.

BTW I don't mind spoiling that film as it will save you watching the steaming pile of dung.

I agree with you on everything, but I still don't think Signs is suitable for this category, as that movie wasn't good at any point, the ending only made it worse. xDD

Otherwise it's certainly also worth mentioning The Book of Eli, the first 5 minutes were nice, didn't mind the following 10 minutes either, but the last 100 were just terrible.. Gotta be the worst movie I've seen in a while.

Splice, OMG, did that just ****ed the wife and myself off in so many ways. Bad, baaaaaad movie. Baaad.

Old Dog. Someone recommended that one to me. The first .. I don't know, ten minutes, was a pretty interesting movie. Then the whole father/daughter thing ... eeewww. That's left a scar.

The Mist was a fun movie, then the ending .. I was just like, ooooh, that is so messed up.

Resident Evil 4. First ten minutes .. yaaaay! Everything after that, which I consider the ending .. booo.

There are a few others that I'm sure just ticked the 'grrr' button that I haven't remembered for one reason or another.

12-08-2010, 07:30 AM

As others have said Old dog and human centipede. I swear the 2 people who came up with those 2 movies should be locked away. Thing is I like strange movies but those 2 left scars.

As a side note I think I am the only person alive who has enjoyed all the M. night movies. Not the best things I have ever sceen but I dont think any of them was so bad that I could not just go that was kind of cool at the end.

Hjelmen

12-08-2010, 08:05 AM

The movie you're calling Old Dog is actually called Old Boy, but nvm :P

I must admit that I balk at the comparison between The Human Centipede and Old Boy. The former is a twisted, sick, scatophilia-centered splatter-movie, while Old Boy is an asian psychological horror movie.

Old Boy is nasty, yes, but it is nasty in a whole different way, and especially because it comes from a cultural background that is very different to the the western world. The ending is horrible (although not in the sense of "bad film making", but as in genuinely terrifying), but fitting with the theme. I understand that the whole incest theme might grate some people's nerves, I also think that it is a great means of instituting a whole different kind of horror. I really really like that movie, because it is so much different from the western horror movies! The asian storytelling technique is so much more horrific because it does not rely on seeing the monster, but imagining the monster. But I digress ...

The Human Centipede is an ugly brown stain on the whole art of film making. I cannot express how much I loathe that movie and all that it stands for.

It is naturally a question of taste, but putting those two movies into the same category is erroneous to say the least.

</rant>

12-08-2010, 08:06 AM

Lol i saw him post it old dog and i followed along I am a sheep.

I was not trying to link them in any way other then the people who came up with them need mental help.

And for the record I liked old boy just wished I never saw it due to ending. The other one sigh.

What sucks the big one is Centipede was listed as segment one or some thing like that. What is scary is the movie made money. That means sooner or later they will make part 2. That gives me 2 options. Subject myself to the other half or wonder for the rest of my life how in the hell they came up with a second half that is any thing but the girl going to spend her life in a mental ward.

Human Centipede 2 is in post production, as of 11/8/10, according to IMDb (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1530509/ thankfully no pictures). Look for it in theaters soon... (straight to DVD?)

I am so delightfully happy that I heard rumors about the first movie before anyone could even approach me with a DVD. Though with my sick friends I will have to carefully check any DVDs they give me for tampering, as I know about the time they altered a gay-porn DVD to appear as a straight-porn flick for another friend's b'day present gag...

I agree. It's like Death Note (anime series) where they tell you exactly how the thing is going to end from the very start.

What's the moral of this movie anyway? If you don't give people a fourth loan when they have no way to play it back you should still be merciful? Or maybe it is even if you become a more compassionate person you can't fix your mistakes and are going straight to hell for eternity so there is no point in even trying?

He closes the review by writing, "[The film] is what it is and occupies a world where the stars don't shine."

Death proof

For two reasons.

First

Having seen all the 70's driving films it riffs from there was only one appropriate ending. I'll not say what for those that haven't seen vanishing point etc.

Second reason

It involves a bunch of people beating up Kurt Russell.

On a site note I also hated how qt bottled it on the grindhouse thing by removing unexciting scenes. At least rodriguez played up to it properly in the scenes he removed from planet terror.

Sunshine,

really quite loved the film for the buildup but the ending took a shift for the dodgy. Still managed to find the film quite enjoyable but wish it had a tastier ending.

I quite agree, just didnt finish properly in my eyes. :(

Snakes on a Train either has the best of worse ending ever... The train gets eaten by a Giant Snake.

The Lake House (US version). My wife wanted to go see it and I actually found it fairly enjoyable...till the end, which relys on a time paradox which is the LAZY way to do time travel/displacement movie. Same reason I HATE Minority Report.

Mortal Kombat: Annihilation was a horrible end to the first Mortal Kombat movie. The first one was better than it should have been (not great, but not horrible) and then the second one completely ruined it.

Superman Returns...and has a bastard son...

I don' know if anyone in here has seen this movie but the end was specially strange and poetic.

it's called Dellamorte Dellamore, it's an old italian movie with Ruppert Everet and it's the story of a Cemetary Keeper and his mute pal called Gnaghi, . They work in a strange cemetery in which the dead are transformed in zombies the night that follows their burial. The two guys spend their days in organising burials and their night in killing the undead.

If you haven't seen it, I recommend it !

There is a French film called Sitcom, which is absolutely brilliant. But I can't help thinking the father turning into a giant rat at the end wasn't needed.

"Frailty" Sorry, audience; the demon-possession-believing hate-spewing psycho Christians were right after all. But we're not going to let you know until the very end. M. Night Shyamalan raves, "What a twist!"

"White Noise" And in other "the crazies turn out to be right in a movie ostensibly about supernatural skeptics" turn, we find this entry in the "kind of possibly based on one or two words from a true story" category. A complete upset in the discovery of what ever happened to Michael Keaton's character's wife, and how to resolve the mystery, instead we get to play with a simple application of video game rag-doll physics. My suggestion - stick with playing F.E.A.R. in the dark of your computer room.

That's all I can think of for now, because I generally avoid bad films. These just happen to be two I was made to see by friends and social pressure, colluding together to get me out of my dark cave of mainstream media isolation.

Well, some of the films, such as Drag Me to Hell, mentioned earlier, are watchable films. They really are. But there are about six different ways it might have ended that would have really made the whole thing. Instead, they went with the worst possible one, which in turn made the film unwatchable. So, not "bad" films, persay, just unwatchable due to a poor ending choice.

Terrible is tricky word. Because it can mean different things

For examples

The Mist had a terrible ending. It was not bad, but it was hard to watch and I don't really care to see it again any time soon.

Dracula 3000 on the other hand had a terrible ending because the movie literally stopped. Like they ran out of a budget and had to finish the movie in one last scene. Now Dracula 3000 was a terrible movie but in that its fun to watch drunk sort of way. Any movie involving a classic monster in space is great(see Leprechaun in Space, or Jason X). But the fact that Dracula was dressed like a guy going to a costume party as Dracula(IE Red cape, pirate shirt, Dracula Medal) made it even better.

Personally I was really sad at the end of Mega Python vs Gatoroid. I just can't believe that a decapitated Mega Python can still bite Debbie Gibson in half. Its just to much suspension of disbelief for me.

For me, The Sixth Sense was one of my favorite movies. Mainly because the first time I saw it I got to the theater late and missed the opening scene.

This is a case of the opening scene ruining a good movie.

Worst ending:
Movie - AI
Book - The Stand
TV Show - Forever Knight

I don't know about the bad endings bit,.... but if we are talking about bad sequels and just bad movies in general, then I'd like to throw out,...

Highlander 2

For consideration by the masses. Especially if you compare it to the first one. It ~nerfs~ the story in just about every possible way imaginable.
