Movie Endings That Really Pissed You Off (SPOILERS)!

[Doc Safari]

My list:

1. Allied

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allied_(film)

The female lead turns out to be a Nazi spy and shoots herself. The ending of this movie so infuriated me I wanted to melt down every copy of the film.



2. Alien 3

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_3

The aliens finally kill Ripley and her only redemption is to take one of them with her. They should have ended the series with this one.

3. No Country For Old Men

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Cou...Old_Men_(film)

It doesn't end so much as just stop. All we know is that the bad guy survived and the cop chasing him retired and likes to tell about his dreams.

4. The Mist

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mist_(film)

The main character thinks things are hopeless and kills all the others with him to save them from a horrible death. Then the mist clears and he realizes they would have been okay.

5. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_T..._Wrath_of_Khan

I grew up on the original Star Trek series. Star Trek: The Motion Picture was mediocre, but I excused it because I allowed for the fact that it takes actors, producers, writers, etc. some time to regain their sea legs when reviving a show that was canceled over a decade before. So along comes Wrath of Khan. Bringing back a villain from the original series was a pretty good idea, but then the writers did the unthinkable. Not only did they kill off Spock, they also left an opening to bring him back to life. Either kill a character or don't. Don't cheapen a main character's death by bringing him back through some technological hocus pocus. It cheapens the death to begin with by making it "not such a big deal."

I thought the "Mist" had the perfect gut-punch, unexpected ending. I don't know how else you would've ended "No Country", but I get why you wouldn't like it. You either like movies that focus more on commentary of human nature without a satisfying ending, or you don't. I think it worked for that, but definitely not in others. If you've read/seen other Cormac McCarthy stuff, none of it has an ending that leaves you satisfied.

My list:

Original Blade Runner - Director's cut was marginally better.

Terminator Salvation - very promising and I loved the dystopian vibe of the movie. Horrible ending. The others after T2 aren't even worth mentioning.

I Am Legend - they wussed out on the original ending, which would've totally changed the vibe for the better.

War of the Worlds (Tom Cruise) - visually awesome movie with one of the worst endings ever.

World War Z

Matrix Revolutions

I thought the ending to "The Road" was better, more understandable. A grim death but with some hope of a future also.

War of the Worlds (Tom Cruise) - visually awesome movie with one of the worst endings ever.

I think that one is partly H.G. Wells' fault. The original 1953 War of the Worlds ended with germs killing the invaders also.

I liked Allied and No Country.

The lady was caught as a spy and killed herself instead of possibly facing torture.

No Country. Sometimes the bad guy isn't caught and life goes on.

Never saw Mist but reading the plot I like the ending. People are terrified, no hope in sight, afraid of being torn apart the decide to just end it. Unfortunately they were seconds away from being saved

My only three.

The Alien franchise. It should have ended with "Aliens". There was NO topping that. The prequels have been so-so at best. Alien 3 and everything else SUCK. Resurection was possibly one of the worst movies ever made.

The Terminator(s). Same thing. At Terminator 2... Drop the mic and walk off stage. LET IT GO. The rest... SUCK. Especially Rise of the machines and Genesys.

The Martian... Totally and completely plagiarized and STOLE the ending from "Red Planet" with Val Kilmer. It was the last good flick that Val made. The Matt Damon one was a total rip-off.

Avengers: End Game

Having Captain Marvel show up at the most opportune time to save the day while not really contributing anything else to the story was just lazy writing.

Not to mention is Gamora (2014 version) alive or dusted? If alive, why isn't she on Starlord's ship with her sister?

She has no connections with the (as)guardians of the galaxy. I’m sure part of Gotg3 plot will be finding out where she went

How else could it have ended? The only thing I can think of is if Morgan Freeman had dusted him, instead. It was a little too on the nose that Brad Pitt would shoot him, but I would've laughed if he'd let him live.
