    World War Z..........I know it's difficult to fit an entire book into a 2 1/2 hour movie, but it ended so very abruptly!

    Got to go with Last American Virgin. Dude pays for the girls abortion and she goes back with the scumbag that got her pregnant. The poor kid never got any booty.

    The movie adaption of Choke, written by Chuck Palahniuk (Author of fight club)

    The twist at the end was missing in the movie, it was as if the director had spent all the money on blow and ran out of money to finish it properly...literally the equivalent of if in Fight club we did not find out that Edward Norton's character(unnamed protagonist) and Tyler Durden were in fact dissociated personalities in the same body.

    I love all the books by Chuck Palahniuk, but choke's movie ending wtf!! seriously and it had some great actors in it-Sam Rockwell, Anjelica Huston and a lesser known actor Brad William Henke who played Denny was great.

    The Departed great movie till the end when everybody dies.

    Maybe that's why I wasn't fully happy with it. I was told it was such a great movie but I was meh about it. I knew it was based on Whitey Bulger and I was like, "but he didn't die like that!". I was waiting for Dignam to pop back up so that wasn't even much of a surprise. I thought it was well acted and I liked the story, just the ending wasn't there for me.

    I didn't like the ending to 50/50. It was based on a true story and it just ended, didn't even give a little update at the end like most true stories do. I felt shorted on the story/wrap up.

    My boyfriend makes fun of me because I say a bad ending can ruin a good movie. I don't mind endings that make you think/question (say Inception) but I hate movies that lead up to an ending that doesn't resolve much or just kind of ends.

    Thought of another one The Mist most screwed up ending ever

    I agree

    'Knowing' - had the potential to be some doomsday creepy **** but no, ALIENS

    I felt the same way...it was an easy out. I was hoping for something a bit more creative.

    World War Z. It was a good movie until the end. Kind of lame.

    This one and even Friends with Kids. Hated the cliche ending!

    Friends with kids.. that's how you try to win the girl of your dreams over (and prove you've matured as a person)? Grosss.

    For a person who LOVES the Indy movies... the last one the aliens totally ruined it for me, especially when the story evolves around Archeology!

    The Great Gatsby

    ^
    This. 100%
    I know it's based on a classic novel... that doesn't make the ending any more satisfying of worthwhile.

    Jurassic Park. Talk about a Hollywood ending. Gotta be able to sequel! They made the villains into the heros. The book is so much better. To bad reading is for losers.

    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.
    ^^^Yup. To this day, I'll drop everything to watch the first half JUST for R. Lee Ermey. Once he dies, I resume my regular broadcast already in progress.

    My all-time WTF movie ending was "School Daze". Spike Lee can have some weird movie endings, but this one totally screwed with me. It was years later when I finally (and randomly) figured out what he was going for.... I think.
    ...
    Hell that ending was SO bad, I'm sitting here trying to think of a more recent example but can't because that ending is replaying in my head right now. Pffft!

    I can't believe all of the Gravity hate in here! I saw that movie on Sunday and thought it was phenomenal!

    I was disappointed with the ending of Mad Max. I actually laughed when the credits suddenly started to roll.

    My Sister's Keeper - The movie was doing fine right up until they decided to change the ending. Apparently when they screen tested the original ending (from the book), the audience disliked how it was done and preferred the new ending.

    For me, it should've been the original ending. There was more truth and realism than the weak ending they ended on. The core theme throughout the book makes more sense with the original ending.

    Sinister was kind of creepy until the end when the killer was revealed.

    the end of the first XMen became terrible as soon as Holly Berry tried to "diss" Toad.

    Dawn of the Dead (2004). I would have been much happier without the footage that plays during the credits but I can't help but to watch it all whenever I see the movie.

    Planet of the Apes, when Charlton Heston sees that the apes have created a life-size replica of the Statue of Liberty on their planet, and he acts all like: "Why?! Why have you created a life-size replica of the Statue of Liberty?! Why would you do that?!".
    I don't see what the big deal is, they just wanted their own Statue of Liberty. I think he's overreacting.
