Was it really? Or is the hate more because the marketing lied about it?

I just don’t get what’s so terrible about Ends as a movie. If you’d called it the worst Halloween sequel (because it kind of is terrible as a sequel, and especially as a finale), I could have been on board. But it’s really not that bad of a movie. The only major issue with it is Michael’s physical presence does not belong in the story they are telling. The obligatory fan service is what hurts it, moreso than the actual meat of the movie.

Though I do understand the anger, as Universal sold the movie as something completely different from what it was.

Is the emo-psych-thriller approach for everyone? No. Is the dark-romance angle really suited for the bulk of the audience the movie was marketed to? Probably not. But those aren’t the faults of the movie itself. Those are the faults of misleading marketing.

And before they are mentioned by someone else… I have several of my own gripes with the film, such as

[Show spoiler]Karen’s death

having no real effect on Laurie’s fight with Michael… or no one noticing

[Show spoiler]the mask

during the climax of the movie… but none of that qualifies for “worst movie of all time.”
