A lot of spoofs struggle with how to end the movie. See, Blazing Saddles
When you know the backstory to the writing of that film, it’s the perfect end. Basically Mel Brooks and Richard Pryor went on a month long drug binge on Warner Bros lot and just wrecked every set and pissed off everyone. The executives were fricking pissed and refused to allow Pryor to star in the movie and barely allowed Brooks to direct it. I would not be shocked if the stories of them terrorizing the Warner lot on cocktail of god knows what was the main influence for the Animaniacs backstory.

I find this movie’s ending also fricking hilarious.

The original had a very different ending.
In fairness, there is a filmed alternate ending that’s infinitely better

You wasted your time buddy, pining for 4 years and risking your life to get back to your love crossing the open seas.
Might as well have stayed with Wilson.

That was intentional. My interpretation of the movie is that that the audience is like a child that grows throughout the film.
The first death you see is agonizing and seems to last forever. Think of the first death you heard of or even saw. The first time someone close to you died. Each subsequent death loses more and more impact and by the end death is barely worth mentioning.
I hated that movie the first time I watched it and it took watching it a 2nd time and really analyzing it that I understood it and grew to love it.

First one that came to mind.
I saw Contact mentioned. I’ve actually grown to like that one since I first saw it. It actually makes sense they way it ended.
I’ll throw one that I assume hasn’t been mentioned, and that will likely get downvoted into oblivion:
The Departed
Spoilers...
Fantastic movie that felt like it had no idea how to end, so they just lazily killed everybody off and called it a day.
Others I’ll add:
Us
The Devil Inside
Jeepers Creepers (not ending as much as second half altogether)
Interstellar (still like it though)

I’ll go with Nightmare on Elm Street, the first one.
I saw it in the theater on its first run, and was thinking it was a very well done horror flick with quite a unique storyline.
It was internally consistent until the very end, when it just took a giant dump on the entire previous storyline in the last moments with no explanation and no conclusion.

It’s not horrible as it matches the rest of the movie but the end of Dumb & Dumber always infuriated me.

Might be the most chilling death scene I've ever seen, that screaming. Plus it matched his story about his friend from the USS Indianapolis getting bit in half

Prometheus?
Movie has gotten better over the last decade on rewatches but initial viewing I was bummed

That seemed to be a very common theme with horror movies back then...ending with, is it a dream, is it real? The heroine gets attacked at the end after supposedly fighting off and killing the evil.
So yeah, it does take a dump over all the effort to defeat Freddy and the entire premise that everyone buys into in defeating if you really can't do anything to stop him at all.

Donnie Darko. One too many twists.
Sicario 2. There's a stunning scene in the desert involving a cartel initiation that would have been a fantastic ending, but then the movie goes on for another 15 minutes and basically undoes all of it. Massively disappointing.

Really? That’s an interesting take.
It kinda had to end that way, especially given who it was written by. Sagan had advocated for SETI and discovery for his entire life and likely had numerous dealings with the type of government bureaucrats depicted in the film. I’m sure that is the way it would actually happen.

I think Wonder Womans ending was utter shite but I really liked the first 3/4ths of the movie
