What good movie had a horrible ending?

Define horrible. Nonsensical? Sad?

A Simple Favor. It was a brilliant dark comedy for about 2/3 of the film and then it completely veers off the rails.

I actually thought Jurassic Park 3 was a very good movie... Until the last 3rd of the movie. Fix that ending up and it would hold higher weight in the series.

The Blu-Ray version of Return of the Jedi. While no where near Empire or the original, it was still a good movie.

Then they ruined it by Force ghosting Hayden Christhecantact in there.


I'm sure this isn't a popular take, but the ending of Holy Grail has always bugged me. I love that they end up back at the French Castle, but bringing in the police and paddy wagon just seemed so out of left field, even for Python...

The classic example is Red River.

In the novel and original script, Wayne is fatally injured in the fight, but begs Clift to help him so he can die in Texas. Clift takes him back but Wayne dies on the banks of the Red River, just across from Texas. Clift takes him across the river into Texas and buries him there.

If that ending sounds familiar, it's b/c Larry McMurtry used a variation on it for Lonesome Dove.

The Village

The Pledge. It had Jack Nicholson in it

I am Legend starring Will Smith screwed the pooch.

The original had a very different ending.

I didn't like the ending of Signs

I'm sure plenty will disagree, but actual aliens felt like a cop out.

(no message)

Signs is usually my knee jerk go to here

Sunshine had a meh final third but it just wasn't amazing like the rest of the movie and devolved it into midgrade slasher shite
