They show you the end at the beginning and its terrible. Otherwise a pretty good flick, but I hated the ending.
Don't you mean you hated the beginning?

How can people hate the ending to The Mist? I loved that one.
I'll throw in another vote for The Departed. The end, for me, ruined what was otherwise an awesome, awesome movie. Made a great movie just very good.
The ending to Fight Club always kinda bugged me. Not the twist..the actual ending of the movie.

I agree, I liked the end of the Mist. I read the short story and I never they were going to Hollywood it up (i.e., frick it up) but they did it pretty well.

Agree. Although, most people I tell to watch the movie hate it.

Didn't Stephen King even say he wished he had thought of that ending..?

Which is ironic, since he hasn't had to worry about Benjies for a long time now..

He might be saving up in case he has to divorce that ugly-arse bitch he is married to. Its about time he traded up.

to everybody saying i am legend, didnt the omega man have a similar ending? its been awhile since ive seen it
Read the book (it's short, like 150 pages). Even though it is 50 years old, it blows the movie away.

He has a few short stories with that ending
SPOILER ALERT
he has a few short stories with virtually the same ending. I think he has a fixation on giving up in the face of a seemingly impossible obstacle.

I'll go with two great movies with bad endings.
First, The Birds. I love Hitchcock, but hate the way it ends. Yes, Baloo, I know you liked the ending.
Second, LOTR. The entire trilogy is a favorite of mine, but it should have ended 20-30 minutes earlier. In Jackson's defense, the book did the same thing. IMHO, the perfect ending would have been when Aragorn was crowned king and said to the hobbits, "my friends, you bow to no one." There were about six or seven good ending spots that would have been better than the drag-out that was.

The ending of the book was so much better in my opinion. The open-endedness was tantalizingly painful. You got attached to the characters, cheering them on, they succeed in the first leg of their journey... and then you never know what happens to them. How far did they make it? It wasn't as if they sailed into the sunset, because they were still in the thick of it.

Not sure if it's been mentioned or not but The Village pissed me off.

Pearl Harbor. Which ironically also has a terrible beginning and middle.

He said he loved the darker ending of the script for the mist but I disagree. The book was much darker long term. In the book, the monsters still roam the planet and the mist is still there.
The movie is much more WTF evil but the book is much darker with humanity basically being fricked.

"Return Of The Jedi". I always thought it was crap that Darth Vader would have a happy ghosty reunion as Anakin with ObiWan and Yoda, like nothing had ever happened.

Back before I stopped reading comic books they had only killed off a few characters and he had tremendous impact. Back when I actually read Xmen they did not kill off Xavier or Cyclops.
Actually, they did kill off Xavier. He ended up sharing a mind with a colleague in Scotland for a while before getting his own body back.
Hence, at the end of X3, he awakes in Scotland.

I know I was a X-Men fan when I was a kid, and was hoping the movie would toss aside the more ridiculous plot points. Namely, killing off everyone only to have them return in the completely illogical ways.
