Movies with disappointing endings

[jdc115]

Anybody have a movie they loved until the ending just spoiled it? Sometimes it maybe that they had to find a happy ending or to others, maybe they don't like a movie to end on a downer and there were expecting the happy ending.

I was just recently thinking that the Abyss would be a great movie to come out on Blu-ray but then I also remember that I just hated how they ended the film. All loved it all the way up to the point he gets to the bottom of the sea floor and then the last 15 minutes just seemed contrived to me.

What other films make you feel this way?

High Tension is the worst offender off the top of my head.

Right on with High Tension. That ending tremendously pissed me off. I felt like I wasted an hour and a half of my life.

Ronin. "WHAT'S IN THE CASE!", Also didn't like the ending of Layer Cake. He shouldn't have got killed. Pissed me off.

Shyamalan is one I just do not understand. I can see what made The Six Sense such a success but then each release after that got worst and worst. I thought the Village was as bad as it could get but I was wrong when Lady in the Water came out.

I am almost compelled to watch what ever comes out next to see if I hate it more, sometimes I just torture myself by making a long flight even worst.

But as somebody else mentioned, it is ruined way before the end.

I actually liked the ending to The Sixth Sense, and Unbreakable. If you want to talk about Signs, The Village, and Lady in the Water. Oh Yeah, they sucked eggs.

Hmmm, let's see.

The Guide... Yea definantively the Guide.

[ add / edit ]
And then Ultraviolet, but that was ruined the moment they said 'disease'.

Some of M. Night Shyamalan's movies were cool (I love Unbreakable) but some of them blatantly copied the works of authors to whom no credit was ever given.

For example, The Sixth Sense is quite similar to Orson Scott Card's Lost Boys, and the Village follows the storyline of Margaret Haddix's Running out of Time virtually point for point.

Boy it sure didnt take very long for signs to crap out for me. Put on closed captioning and you will see the aliens say the following:

"Wow we came light years across the universe and used our advanced technology, but they got the darn basement door locked and Ill be damned if I know how to get it open."

followed by the ever popular:

"Wait a minute what is this wet stuff....Arghh its killing me.......who the frig did recon on this planet, better yet didnt anyone ask what all that blue stuff was when we first saw it?"

Are you serious?

Oh btw I had to crate my dog too cuz he wouldnt stop asking me "Who writes this DOG$***?"

Matrix Revolutions

At the end of "the mist" I was so upset he only had four bullets left. I was praying there was one more to put between the eyes of the director. Boy that was harsh huh? Oh well

In my opinion Signs was perfect until the very end.. the water thing was really lame. Other than that it was excellent.
