We've all seen those movies that are really good and then fall apart towards the end.

I was enjoying 30 Days of Night until the last 15-20 minutes and then the story just torpedoed. (I know it's based on a graphic novel - not sure if the story is similar in the book.)

Get Him to the Greek got significantly unfunny/awkward/disjointed towards its conclusion.

ETA: Forgot about Django. Movie would have been much better if it hadn't dragged on for so long.

What are some others?

I have a really good post about this. They weren't aliens they were demons and the only reason the water burned them because Mel Gibson's character had touched it and regained his faith.

I read about this. Makes the movie more enjoyable to view it with this in mind imo. The greatest twist of the movie is the one Shayamalan never intended to make.

WTF? That movie had one of my favorite endings of all time, with the most perfect music accompanying the credits.

I really liked the movie until the end.

That movie just basically quits. It's all one big, brilliant lead up and then a quick jump to an anti-climactic ending. "Blue Moon" song be damned.

Insidious was one of the best horror movies I have ever seen until the whole astral projection angle got super heavy.

Minority Report - It might have been a dystopian classic if the movie ended with Anderton's capture. The "happy" ending was terrible.

wut

I can see why people dislike the ending, but to say its bad is obnoxious.

Stephen Kings even said the movie ending was better than the ending he wrote.
