Worst.ending of a movie.ever

I think it's a tie between Million Dollar Baby and 50 First Dates.

Matrix Trilogy ending was a let-down.

I haven't even seen the third one, I was pretty let down by the second one.

If you're into playing "Where's Waldo" with religious symbology, then see Matrix: Revolutions. If overthinking your movies isn't your bag and you just want some flights of fancy mixed with some eye candy, don't do it.

Personally, I think that most Sc-Fi stories suffer from Stephenson Effect - you spend 800 pages floridly describing your story, then realize you've got 5 pages left to sum it up. Drop in the Deus Ex Machina, and you're GOLD

Except that it totally ruins the whole concept of resolution and denouement.

Like... Starship Troopers: Suddenly, Doogie Howser has ESP can READS the Brain Bug's mind... "It's Afraid!!!" he proclams, to the raucous shouts and cheers of the Mobile Infantry.

Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes.

Bar none.

Prelude to a Kiss.

Actually, the whole movie is terrible. But the ending made me shriek in agony.

It was a take on War of the Worlds.

Why? Because it didn't have a sugary happy ending like every other Hollywood movie?

Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey.

You may think I'm joking too, but I'm dead serious. They were fucking awesome already, so how does growing ZZ Top beards, donning Baby Bjorn carriers, and playing bullshit KISS songs save mankind?!

No because it took me about four hours to stop crying.

Oh jeez, well if that's all then add The Last Kiss. That movie left me completely shattered for days. I wouldn't say that made it bad though. Just truthful.

um, he had ESP from the beginning.

i can't think of any movie off the top of my head, though i do despise the ending of AI for the simple fact that it took so long to end.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail

I love the movie, but the end is crap.

I probably should have been more specific. I meant worst as in most sad and depressing. Sorry guys.

I haven't seen The Last Kiss. What made it so sad?

I was completely traumatised by Twelve Monkeys. And not because Bruce was in it.

Threads had a major downer of an ending

Ugh! I thought it was going to be over about an hour before it really was.

Yeah, the ending was ridiculous and felt tacked on. It was also extremely depressing. I hated the way that movie made me feel.

Ditto. I was already really depressed at the time, so it made me cry in front of my mother (who loved the movie, incidentally). I hate crying at movies in general, but I was miffed to be crying at such a lousy flick.

yeah, i hate it when movies make me want my money back.

Bonfire of the Vanities. but then that movie was fucked on every level.

ding ding

Ummmm... that wasn't really sudden. They were doing ESP tests earlier in the movie. It's not as if that came totally out of nowhere. Besides, the movie was already pretty much over at that point. I don't see how that detracted from the movie, or even made an impact at all.
