Worst ending to a movie?

How you can leave a bus tipped over the edge of a cliff and say "the end" is beyond me.

It was a film from a different era when mainstream films didn't have to have an ending that was both happy and saw all loose ends tied up.

I think the ending was the best thing about the film - it was pretty ordinary otherwise. It certainly wouldn't be remembered as much as it was if it weren't for the cliffhanger.

I hope you are a referring to the crappy remake by Tim Burton. However if you are referring to the 1968 original, you are greatly mistaken my friend. The shock horror when Taylor sees the Statue of Liberty coupled with the awesome (over) acting of Charlton Heston as he tenses his neck muscles to Randy Savage proportions and pounds the ground while moaning "you maniacs, you blew it up!" is one of the greatest moments in cinematic history.
I should have been specific.

Of course I meant the disgraceful remake. The original was a classic.
 
I saw this really bad Anthony Hopkins movie once...cant remember what it was called...but anyway, right at the end he has been injured or shot and he collapses and slides down a wall into a sitting position. Then the camera ever so slowly zooms in to just see his face, while the camera crawls towards the shot, the music is peaking then you just have this shot of his face and the music at its absolute peak and you think he's going to say something or die or do something....your interest is at full bore and then the credits roll????????? I was like WTF!!! lol..shocker.

Fight club........Come to think of it, had a similar ending to American psycho. The ending was bad, but then again, the whole film was just plain bad.
Disagree about "the whole film". I thought it was an extremely well executed concept and was for the most part flawless!

Clearly some Hollywood w*nker got his hands on the script. Even non-feelgood movies require feelgood endings in the US!

American Psycho.............Leaves you to believe that he didn't do it (or something like that). I refuse to read the book, but I understand the book is more cut and dried. There is no doubt that it was him. Absolute shocking movie.

I haven't seen the film but I have read the book. The book definitely implies that the crimes Patrick Bateman committed were actually sick fantasies that he had conjured in his disturbed mind.

Agree with your comments on the film. The nding would have been perfect if (spoiler)...








the bullet wound had killed both of them and not left him alive, even if the suggestion was that tyler durden was only a part of his brain and he hadn't blown his whole head off, just that part, it was crap and disappointing. To have seen all the buildings blowing up in the window behind the two bodies would have finished it off nicely.

The same thing was done to "True Romance". It was supposed to have the Reservoir Dogs ending, but instead it got the happily ever after bull**** treatment.

Maybe it's something to do with Brad Pitt playing a really cool, but obviously flawed character that makes a movie get a soppy ending?

Nup. Disagree. The ending could have been better I guess, but how would you have changed it? And I love that movie. One of my all time faves. Constructive criticism?

I didn't like Blair Witch Project as a complete movie but I found the ending the best part.

Meet Joe Black. No one I’ve spoken to shares my opinion on this but I found the daughter’s reaction strange. The chick was so desperate to keep Joe and her father apart. Joe and her father go over the hill but only Joe comes back. She see this and then meets Joe and doesn’t do anything (except maybe him a little later). I expected her to at least yell something not nice at him for taking her father away based on her pervious behaviour.

... they obviously ran out of money pretty quickly on that one !

may i ask why you thought it was a bad ending???

I saw the film the first time at my ex girlfriends house...thru her step sister she got her hands on a video of it before it was released in Australia, so we watched it at her house, at night, in pitch black, with noone else home. It is by far the scariest movie ive seen in my life. I thought the ending was brilliant. Scary as fcuk!! Maybe it was cos i didnt see it in a movie theatre and i saw it at a house which is what made it scary. The ebst thing about the whole movie is it used your imagination to create what you thought happened. Both our minds ran wild after the movie and we came up with some pretty scary gruesome things that could of happened. It wasnt your cut and dry predicatable jumpy scary movie aka Scream....which i liked!

What did you think was so bad about it?
 
Wild Wild West.. the whole movie was disgraceful but the ending just topped it off

Godzilla.. same for this peice of trash
