I friggen liked how they left it open.. like you don't know if there really was ghosts or he was just high off his spiked liquor.
Until.... the ending. The ending killed it!

Geez, that is also among my most depressing movies ever. Is this the new trend in hollywood: sad, depressing, suicide-inducing endings?

Little Miss Sunshine? Or Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind? Or Mario Sunshine?



For me, it was The Island. I know it wasn't supposed to be an epic movie. Just a fun one. But the end reminded me of lemmings jumping off a cliff.

Second that. It went from reality to some 2001 goofy LSD induced trippy thing.

For that matter, 2001 had a pretty poor ending too.


Yeah... but I wouldn't dream of changing a single frame. :thumbsup:

AI was supposed to end earlier I believe. But AI would be a movie I loved but could have used a different ending. I actually really liked I am Legend except for the very end of it. The end just ignored most of the movie and was like "But don't feel bad, surprise!"

Oceans 11.
The ending of the original was MUCH better than the remake.

Free Willy - Willy should have fell on the boy at the end, crushing him.

G.I. Joe TheMovie from the 80's. Duke should have died, and in fact originally he was supposed to die, but with the death of Optimus prime in the original Transformers movie that came out the same year they had to change the ending and make it happier.

Hollow Man... should have ended w/ Kevin Bacon killing them all in the ball of fire, he gets up the elevator shaft, and you just hear him whistling and see footprints as he walks away and fade to black

Cast Away is at the top of my list.

I didn't love I am Legend, but the ending was horrible to that one too.

IMO, The Myst ending was pure shock value and didn't further the story in the least.

EDIT: Also, the movie itself wasn't great. I can easily say I left the theater thinking "I paid $19.00 to see that?"

Yeah, my friend who read the story it was based on said that the story just ended with them driving off, and you were left wondering.
I thought the movie was alright, and I feel ripped off any time I go to the theater

That WAS NOT the ending... your friend is BSing you. The ending was much worse.

I saw the movie... are you talking about the ending from the story or the movie?

On this subject.

It seems this is the new Hollywood Ending.

To have a shitty ending.

No more good or happy endings anymore.

A lot of people didn't get the ending, but it was actually brilliant. Those weren't aliens, they were robots. Robots actually outlived their human creators...so the tables are turned far in the future. When you look at it in that perspecive, it's kind of a neat ending- the child wanted someone to care about him; now there's a whole race of beings that care.

An Innocent Man

A very good movie and the final couple "postscript" scenes were good, but the climatic fight scene was ridiculous.

If I knew how to make it better, I would be on strike right now.
