But it did capture the spirit of the book series very well, and most of the story was straight from the books, though it was from several books. The story isn't the standard hollywood structure with a definite climax because that's the way the books are, a journey rather than a destination. I really wish they'd made more movies and that's probably what they had in mind with the ending. But it barely made any money and meanwhile the idiot Pirates franchise was raking in the cash.

As to the original topic - it's been said but - Interfrickingstellar.

I know some of mine have been listed, but here are some that came to mind..

And spoilers, obviously.

Sunshine - No doubt. Last 20 minutes or so were just weird and completely anti the flow of the movie.

Interstellar - Really liked the movie, but there is just something missing for me at the end. Basically, it tried too much IMO.

Jeepers Creepers - First half was legit scary/creepy. Second half was overly campy and fairly stupid. Such a great concept too.

Sinister - Really liked the movie until the reveal at the end that it was the kids doing the work. That made it completely unbelievable for me and all but ruined it. And it wasn't even that the demon was doing the work via the kids' bodies...it was literally the kids. Impossible.

The Devil Inside - Easily one of the best possession movies ever....right up until literally the last 2 minutes or so. It's like they didn't know how to end it so they made up something completely weird and stupid. And it ruined what could've been an amazing movie.

The Departed - Fantastic movie up until the end when everybody just randomly gets killed off. It felt like a copout of an ending for me, and it made what would've been a truly awesome movie just "really good" for me.

I've never gotten the hate for Contact. That's a pretty great movie, and the ending with the alien contact makes perfect sense within the context of the movie.

Also, Master and Commander is being mentioned??? That movie is fricking awesome.
