    Knowing has to have the worst ending of any movie of all time. It was a great movie but the ending is so ridiculous that it ruins the whole thing. Also, the last Indiana Jones movie. Aliens? REALLY?!?!

    Silent Hill had the most ridiculous ending ever, in my opinion. I hated that movie, but people tell me I would have liked it more if I had played the video game.

    To be honest, I think if you played the games, you'd hate it even more! :laugh: The games are so much better in my opinion--and yes, the ending (and most of the movie, really) was super ridiculous.

    The Great Gatsby

    one of the most famous books of all time. its not like they could re-write it for the movie.

    I know, but I still didn't like the ending :ohwell:

    When I saw this thread title, one movie immediately sprang to mind: Magnolia.

    It was a great movie for about 180 minutes, then the ending was so nonsensical and out of place, that I found it infuriating.

    Inception.

    did the top fall?!
    Ahh yes! Good one.

    When he dreams he wears his wedding ring as his wife is around, when he is not dreaming he isn't wearing a wedding ring as his wife is dead. Just look and see if he is wearing his wedding ring in the final scene and you know if he's dreaming or not.

    George Lucas will do that to a film.

    Knowing - The 2009 Nicholas Cage film. It was really good... Until the last 5 minutes.

    Law Abiding Citizen, all the way. Really good enjoyable film, all the way through. Until the very end. What a cop out.
  • I didn't like how I Am Legend ended.

    Pretty Woman, purely for the ridiculousness of the "she rescues him right back" line. What does that even mean?

    ^This!

    But also Room 1408 - It's not my usual type of film, but I saw it in the cinema with a friend and LOVED it! A few months later we rented it on DVD for a night in and they'd changed the ending! It ruined the film for me! The 'proper' ending wasn't even included as a special feature on the DVD!

    If you want to read something really interesting, look up the original script of Pretty Woman. The story was originally meant to be much darker..and not end as happy and fuzzy as it did. They made it into a love story, funny, etc...but I read through the original script and was shocked!!

    Loved the first half of "Full Metal Jacket" Having been through Marine Boot Camp during that same era, I can attest to the accuracy.

    The second half, however, was ****e.

    It's been said already, but I saw "Now You See Me" last week and the last 10 minutes was just....whaaa?? But that might have been what they were going for

    Thought of another one The Mists most screwed up ending ever

    fricken best ending ever. it will scar you for life, but again its from a book, steven king doesn't do happy endings.
    In the book, the group hears a voice on the radio and goes off into the mist to see if anyone is at the station. It's more bleak, but I think the movie ending was more traumatizing for the audience.
  • 'Knowing' - had the potential to be some doomsday creepy **** but no, ALIENS
  • Titanic. I just got that sinking feeling at the end.

    Badum TSHHHH

    I know it's an old one, but "The Sixth Sense" ending screwed with me pretty hard...

    Ok, and I just saw "Mama" not too long ago, and I didn't care for that ending, either.
