movies that you loved, but felt it had a terrible ending.

i'd say The Truman Show

hmm... to expand on this topic a bit, (without spoiling it
for people who haven't seen the movie), what were some
reasons you disliked the ending?

for The Truman Show, it was a solid movie all the way
through, but the ending is just too abrupt and leaves you
wondering what happens between the main character and the
love interest. it just sort of ends and that's it... like
they couldn't think of a proper end to the film, so they
just turned the cameras off or something

I don't agree.

ofcourse he'll get the girl. who wants to see that? do you
want is spelled out? doesn't make for very interesting
cinema, let alone that the story needs it.

always leave em wanting more - I'd rather a film end
ambigious, looked what shite was tagged on the end of
Castaway and A.I., fucking hollywood schmaltz

Donnie Darko's ending is crap.

I guess, but it just seemed stupid to go through all that
effort just to have the movie end with two fat security
guards say "what else is on?"

That's somewhat anti-climatic

The ending to Monty Python and the Holy Grail is lame.

The ending in "The Others" was to much like the ending of
another movie that included ghosts and children.

Indeed it did, but I think the last few minutes of that
movie are puke inducing =o/

Yow! A friend was telling me I'd never guess the end of "The
Others". Well I did and laughed my ass off at the look on
his face. The oddest thing is we saw that other ghosts and
children movie together... you'd think he'd remember I'd
seen it.

I thought Eyes Wide Shut was a masterpiece except for the
ending which could have been a tad less abrupt. Okay, flawed
masterpiece then.

Monty Python? That ending is classic! Personally I hated the
ending to Fight Club... I know the movie might not have made
sense without it, but there are just too many flaws in the
movie once the ending is in place.

I think most horror movies are excelent until the ending.
Its not scary any more when you get an answer to your
questions.

The Ninth Gate has the worst end. Its like they in the
editing room was thinking "Okay, so its about 2hours long
now. Lets end it". And put in that lame scene where he walks
into the light.
Other that that the movie is fucking awsome.

Worst ending ever: "mission to mars" ...or was it "read
planet"? I forget they were released at the same time and
were about the same subject... Anyways, when the
astronaughts enter the pyramid to find a friendly alien who
tells them how the Eart was inhabitated... I literally stood
up in the theatre an yelled as loud a i could: "WHAT THE
FUCK!?!?!?".

What about 'Signs'........ from the moment that you see men
in plastic space-alien-suits the movie is complete
crap...... They aliens even retreated because they are
allergic of water..... My dead grandmother could think of a
cooler ending ;-)
