Movie you wish had an alternate ending? - Blu-ray Forum

Space Ghost · 08-06-2009, 07:50 PM

I'm just curious to see if you've ever seen a movie where you felt an alternate ending would have better suited the film. One film that stands out to me is Little Shop of Horrors. I kind of would have rather had them keep the original everyone-dies ending. I know the scene was shot by Frank Oz, but was then changed to the more happy ending.

The Mist. I know it was Stephen King's ending but it's too inhumane so it logically doesn't work for me.

milner828 · 08-06-2009, 07:54 PM

CZAR · 08-06-2009, 07:54 PM

That's one of my favorite alternate endings.

Wall-E. He should not have remembered Eve. Would have turned this great film into a masterpiece.

Call_Me_Megatron · 08-06-2009, 08:00 PM

Spider-Man 3.

I would've preferred if

The Mist was mentioned, good one.
30 Days of Night
The Last Samurai (would've been cool if Algren killed himself alongside Katsumoto)
Terminator Salvation (!!!!)

Great choice. Loved the movie, but the ending ruined it for me.

Steve · 08-06-2009, 08:02 PM

The Fog, with Tom Welling. I would have been happy if it had an ending at all.

KingBing · 08-06-2009, 08:02 PM

Man on Fire. Hope he killed everyone at the end.

Malibu's Most Wanted, it was a hilarious movie right up till the end when it crapped out and had a Disney ending.

Weirded Wonder · 08-06-2009, 08:17 PM

Star Wars

Han Solo should have shot Luke in the Death Star battle, then the fanboys would never be able to complain about all the sequels.

Agree with No Country for Old Men..... great movie that just kinda stops

Ang Lee's Hulk, I actually liked it til the terrible ending.

CZAR · 08-06-2009, 08:20 PM

^^I am one of the few that liked that Hulk movie as well!! ofcourse the newer is better though!! Cant remember the exact ending though! Got Em!!

peter008 · 08-06-2009, 08:21 PM

star trek nemesis : the alternate scene with the seatbelt would have been a much better end for the movie.

But....It wasnt Kings ending. Darabont actually presented that twist to King and King actually said he liked the ending better than his own.

For me it was awesome.

I would have cried for weeks if that happened.

It wasn't written by King? I must have been mistaken then. Either way, it wasn't practical enough for me. The abrupt change in character didn't flow with his heroism throughout the entire movie.
