There are a few I could pull from but the one that stands out immediately is Repo Men.

That irked me something fierce. I mean, I thought it was a fun movie. If you haven't seen it, feel free to watch it. If you don't mind...

Getting to the end and finding out that the last third of the movie that you had just watched was completely BS and not real. Fun times.

Honorable mention goes out to The Matrix Revolutions.

Neo dies. Yep, that's pretty much it.

No way, hombre. Too many good scenes in the movie.



Spidey going Marvel Nemesis on Norman.



And the classic Spider-Man suit at the very end.

What that movie did to Peter and his Aunt was the absolute worst since I read the premise of One More Day.

@Zeta Dragoon you disgusting heathen.

Interstellar has an incredible ending.

I'll clarify, I found the ending itself far more bittersweet then I had hoped, and it colored my initial posting on it. Too much of the absolutely insane shit leading to it also happened off screen though I see why it was meant to be a gigantic reveal.

So, I remember enjoying this movie a lot. I owned the DVD and have watched it several times (though not recently).

The director's cut alternate ending was shit, but the original ending was, I mean... Were you expecting a happily ever after or something? I can't see counting it among all time bad endings, not even close.
 
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has one of the lamest endings I've seen. Troll 2 but that was done deliberately and might actually be the GOAT worst ending in all of cinema. Citizen Kane has an ending that I still am uncertain of, not sure what happened and it's possible that nobody can say for certain

Ngl though, Drag Me To Hell had the most ridiculous ending in the last 20 years or so

I was like, that's it!!!??? They didn't destroy the ring??!! There's gonna be another one? 🤔

Thats horse shit! Sat through 3 hours for no resolution AT ALL.

Yeah, they really should have fleshed that one out. It felt like just a big setup without the payoff.

The same happened again when they made The Hobbit!
 
The Last Exorcism.

90 minute lead-up to a demon abortion joke.

Good thing I don't want to rewatch it because I saw it back before my brain injuries made watching found footage stuff completely impossible & not just difficult.

While we're on this subject, though, I also found Cloverfield and Blair Witch to be very disappointing endings.

Maybe found footage films are just crap, IDK.

For the life of me I feel like I'm taking crazy pills when people praise 'Unbreakable' around me. You sat through all that boring-ass slog, just to gush about the fucking twist any imbecile could see from a mile away?

Battlefield Earth..

Cavemen learn to fly 1000 year old Harrier Jump jets in a day and fly them so well they are able to defeat an advanced alien race.

They could have saved themselves a lot of trouble if Frodo hadn't decided to use it as a cock ring instead of destroying it.

Well you know that is what everyone expected the first time they made It... everyone was like... no fucking way... they are making IT...

All you would have to do for an adaptation is have the kids get lost and they all have to hug each other and pledge their love to each other to find their way out that's it problem solved

They have like the best endings lol. Titanic not, cause we all know there was a fire on board for the insurance money and the creation of the federal bank.
 
You can joke all the way about me in the subforums that are more appropriate than the Chill one.

I think people are confusing a "bad" movie ending for a poor one. Some of the best films end on an unhappy note.

I liked Cloverfield. It was pretty interesting and unique for a found footage movie about a deep sea creature. But I do remember wishing it was longer when I saw it at the theater. Nowadays I think it's just okay and I can see why most wouldn't like it since it leaves you with more questions.

That being said, I hated the two "sequels", 10 Cloverfield Lane and The Cloverfield Paradox, because they really had nothing to do with the 2008 movie. J.J. Abrams pretty much threw away everything established from the viral marketing in the first movie. He went from wanting to create a Godzilla for America with the original movie (a "baby" deep sea creature that made its way to Manhattan after destroying an oil rig) to throwing in alien invaders and hellish portals in the sequels.
