Didn't you already put the dark knight rises in the top 10 satisfying movie endings? If so, then you either like the ending or you don't make up your frickin mind will ya.
The mist has no reason being on this list. The ending elevates it from an average movie to a good/great one. And in regards to the scream, I don't think you can get too melodramatic in a situation such as that.
@@turinggirl6432 never said i wanted happy endings said the film was shit assuming i need a happy ending says a lot about you also its based on stephen kings book you dont get happy endings in his books the filmed bombed when it was released especially among kings fans
....People thought Thomas Jane's scream was melodramatic? He just zeroed his kid and found his wife dead....Him screaming hysterically seems like the least melodramatic thing he could do...
Anyone who thinks Superman breaking Zod's neck is unlike the nice guy heroic Christopher Reeve version should remember that the '78 Superman defeated Zod by turning him human and dropping him and his fellow Kryptonians to their deaths in a bottomless chasm.
TBF, it wasn't intended to be death. They shot another scene showing Zod & company survived and were being arrested by the Artic Police. It was cut, but only because, I mean, c'mon... artic police? But Supes HAS killed Zod. Like, main universe Superman. Okay, so DC had an event called Crisis on Infinite Earths in 1985. It was the biggest event in comic history. DC went from an infinite multiverse to one universe (obviously this change didn't stand the test of time) and there were big sweeping changes. This is where Batman went from being a goofy Adam West type character to gritty edgelord stuff. Superman got depowered, going from "can move entire galaxies with ease" to "can't lift the heaviest real life tanks". One of the many changes was that they decided Supes should be the only surviving kryptonian. "Last Son of Krypton" and all that. Supergirl made a heroic sacrifice during Crisis, so she was taken care of. All that was left was Zod's crew. This is where shit gets dark. Vantablack dark. Edgelord Batman dark. Zod gets captured after destroying an alternate timeline or some shit, and he mocks Supes, saying he WILL escape again and kill millions and there's nothing Supes can do because he's not willing to kill. Supes admits he's right... and then drops some kryptonite into the cell holding Zod's crew. He sits there and watches while they slowly die of extreme radiation poisoning and beg for their lives. Faora was the last to die, and as she succumbed to the kryptonite, she was begging that she'd be his sex slave if he just let her live. Following this, Supes had a complete mental breakdown. The next few months of Action Comics were dealing with a "Britney Spears 2008 Meltdown" on super steroids. As you can imagine, this was and still is divisive. Personally, I like it. And I hate Snyder's garbage. Because, see, therein lies the difference. Comic Supes killed after 50 years of a strict no killing policy. Everyone was left shocked, going "holy shit, he... he really killed them?" Snyder's Supes barely had his tights before he Christopher Reeve'd Zod. It doesn't have any impact when he does it right out of the gate. Also, like I said, he completely lost his fucking mind. Executing them BROKE him. Snyder's Supes screams once, then apparently builds a bridge at superspeed and gets the fuck over it. But that isn't even the worst thing about Snyder's interpretation. Something I don't see talked about nearly enough is that comic Supes has a fucking *INFINITE* faith in humanity. He believes in the best in people and you will never dissuade him. Snyder had Supes go out of his way to find a priest and tell him he doesn't trust humanity. A particularly stupid koala understands quantum physics better than Zack Snyder understands Superman. Or Batman for that matter.
The mist tears me up every time, that scream is something only somenes who's lost someone in their own hands can relate to, its not melodramatic its pretty accurate
I think the point here is that Comic Book Robin spent YEARS receiving extensive training and experience under Batman's direct supervision and guidance. The movie Robin is literally just a police officer who is suddenly expected to take up the mantle with no preparation, training, resources, or support. It is *extremely* likely this dude would have put on the costume (ill-fitting since he doesn't have the ability to make his own, he literally has to put on Bruce's costume), and then go out and pretty much instantaneously get himself killed.
Nope. That was the only one they got right, an otherwise good movie wrecked by a bad ending. The rest of the movies on this list were ruined way before they got to the end.
Absolutely. More so with the viewpoint that the crazy shop lady was right all along. Only with the death of the child, will the Mist be expunged. WTF awesome ending!
Meh, complainers gonna complain. Personally I think Spielberg made everything way too much Michael Bay-ish to the point where a quiet resolution just wasn't gonna be enough, think Independence Day, big war big boom, ends on bigger boom on the mothership. UP YOURS!
@@mrbigonbig it is the story of the book, but it didn't give any resolution to the main characters. Specially since one of the friggin survive, making the entire journey completly pointless. Ps: non of these character were from the book so follow them fell like a waste.
I think the main problem is that, yes, it ends in the same way as the book. There's not much of a problem with that, but similar to the book, there's not much to the ending either. The movie already did more than the story did for most of its run, establishing its own characters much like other War of the Worlds adaptations did. But it could have showed the aftermath of the alien invasion, and how their own characters were affected by it. That would have made the events of the story feel more like they mattered.
@@jonmendelson1104 i don't agree but i love how it does make you think about it. i love Nolan films. they do say they fixed the autopilot, but still fun idea.
Controversial opinion ... I I didn't think the neck break scene from Man of Steel was that bad. Granted, the scene could have been done a little better, but I liked the idea they were going for for about Superman making a tough decision in order to save people. I think what ruins it is the fact that the next scene just kind of ignores it like it never happened, I feel like they should had at least one scene with Clark discussing and reflecting on what he did in order to make it work.
I did not think that the kid in A.I. died at the end, he merely went to sleep or shut down to finally find the inner peace he was looking for. Not sure why you thought he died.
He may have 'died' or he may have shut down until..... when ever. It is the emotional impact of the ending that's important. He had a last 24 hours in pure happiness and contentment. Who cares what happened afterwards? He waited so long and he got his reward - his fantasy of the Blue Fairy giving him real boyhood disappeared and he lived in the moment. Over the last few years it seems some people are trying to find logical explanations for everything, especially in movies. Sometimes I think we should just feel - screw logic and tap into our humanity - logic is for computers and robots. Emotion is what makes us human and I love to embrace that side. Also, speaking as someone who critiques and examines clinical research for a living - science is not the new God and does not hold all the answers. love to all no matter what opinion you have.
Can a robot DIE? He was never actually alive, and dying means the ending of life. He may have permanently shut down, but that's all a machine can ultimately do.
@@goodeconsultingshropshirel3045So normally this is where I’d post a virtual essay with my thoughts but it’s been a tough day, I’m tired and this says exactly what I thought anyway! AI is by far one of Spielberg’s best movies of all times and Spielberg, especially in recent years, has become hugely overrated considering his lacklustre output …
There's a stark difference between an ending being emotionally painful and an ending being bad. Thankfully most people who watch The Mist understand the distinction.
The only part of War of the Worlds I thought was terrible was Robbie. He was so stupid, obnoxious and abrasive I was thrilled when he died. His return was a tragic ending.
I loved that movie and I thought the simple catching the common cold was a brilliant ending (to the story, not just movie). Part of the movie was filmed in my hometown. Blew up the Bayonne/Staten Island Bridge. No more getting beer after hours. haha
@@InaEsin The cold virus was H.G. Wells solution in the book. The movie just copied the book. If you saw The Time Machine(2002), The book was written by H. G. Wells and the film was directed by his great grandson. Simon Wells.
the ending to the mist is absolutely brilliant, turned the whole movie into a message about true courage. the woman who was on the military transport was the one who insisted on leaving in the beginning to go save her kids. her courage and selflessness was rewarded with rescue and her children being safe and alive. the main character was too afraid to venture into the mist, leaving his wife to die and cowardly choosing to kill his son rather than even attempt to walk through the mist (if some monster did appear he could always shoot them *then* instead of shooting them before anything was even close to attacking). if he had had the courage to leave earlier, the courage to leave the car, or even the courage to just wait a few more minutes, he would not have to spend the rest of his life alone and wracked with guilt.
@@CREDLACEnot is you look at the terrifying possibility that the crazy lady was right. Then it's even more horrific. Son died and it so ended instantly.
Anyone who wasn’t expecting Optimus Prime to die at some point during the Micheal Bay franchise hasn’t been watching Transformers. Optimus died in the Transformers: the Movie back in 1986 because they discontinued his toy and he’s died at least once in every entry in the franchise since it’s a running joke at this point.
It was a great ending. It showed us the protagonist has guts to stand against even an alien invasion. And that the villain wasn't "right all along", he was cowardly. A grown man with a gun, he went hiding instead of fighting.
Sorry but "The Happening" had the worst ending in ANY movie i've ever wasted time watching. That should've been number 1 on anyone's hated endings list.
I think the video's focus wasn't on the disease ending being bad, they even say in the video they understand it was the original ending. Instead, the criticism is in regards to Robbie, who we definitely see die, all of a sudden come walking up out of the rubble at *the exact same time* as everyone else so we have an unambiguously happy ending, regardless of the fact it makes no sense, wipes out any impact of his original death, and is blatantly forced bad writing.
@@MrMordraine no they specifically mention how "dumb" the whole dying to germ thing is a few times in the video, even referencing it in a later segment. I personally liked the ending, as it is realistic to what would likely happen to a organic species suddenly introduced to our planet. Like the Spanish conquistadors and native Mesoamericans dying in droves due to exposure to foreign diseases. If anyone wants to complain about the ending blame H.G. Wells for not considering that a advanced civilization capable of doing what they had done hadnt considered basic biology.
@TheOffkilter no it's pretty fair to call it dumb, but they still say while it is dumb, their real complaint is the son appearing from nowhere. The reason it is dumb (and different from your native peoples example) is like you said. This is *an advanced alien race* that has mastered interstellar travel, advanced robotics, and massive scale bioengineering, but somehow is completely unaware of germ theory, something we figured out in the 1700's. That makes no sense at all. While the book being dumb is on Wells, the movie is allowed to modify an ending to make sense, it's not illegal, I've seen it happen.
9:25 "Never explained"?!?!? There's literally a scene with Morgan Freeman where it's revealed that Bruce Wayne fixed the autopilot before he had to take the bomb away from Gotham City
Haha, totally agree. I thought the ending was phenomenal and I didn't even realize that there was an extra clip after the credits - which, btw, doesn't seem to add much. Good on him for killing a wolf...another day on the job .
There was NOTHING wrong with the ending of World War Z. It was an effective and reasonable explanation to a pretty, satisfying ending. Nobody thinks a Zombie movie can have a happy ending, I guess... 🤷♂
As far as I heard that movie had a lot of problems. I think they ran out of money and something about lots of changes during the filming. They had a big battle ending planned and some scenes from that even survived and made it into the actual movie (like the flamethrower on top of a building). But they had to change things around to something less expensive without big set pieces. Still the ending they went with works fine. It's different and nowhere close to the book, but it's a conclusion to the movie that doesn't necessarily require a sequel.
People seem to miss the point of Man of Steel,Zod said hes gonna kill or enslave every human on earth so instead Superman had to kill him to stop that and save the family that was about to die in front of him and the world got upset. Its like theyd rather see a Superman movie where everyone dies or gets enslaved. Makes alot a sense guys
I would explain it more in terms of: Unstoppable force vs unmovable object. It was presented as a loose loose situation. Sup couldn't do nothing. But he couldn't stop Zod either. Couldn't detain him. Couldn't persuade him. They could have wrote different story from the start, but that was the only conclusion. The bad part only comes from the how quickly Clark shrugged off this traumatic event and seemed ultimately unaffected psychologically.
10 Cloverfield Lane's ending switch is actually quite important. The stuff in the bunker is obviously a metaphor for escaping abuse, but once you escape that doesn't mean all your issues are solved. You still need to survive on your own once you're out.
In defense to I Am Legend, the novel's ending worked better for how things were set up in the novel. But the "vampires" in the novel had humanity and actual intelligence. The Dark Seekers in I Am Legend were uncontrollable, raging, rabid monsters that indiscriminately attacked and killed anything that wasn't infected (much like 28 Days Later). Under these circumstances, it wouldn't make sense to have them be the "humans" and Neville being the "monster" in the new world.
According to more of the lore around those vampires, they see *humans* as uncontrollable, raging, rabid monsters from the other side of the infection. In the book, there was communication between the two species, but not in the movie. So I can see that. But lack of communication makes the inability to view the other as sentient more plausible.
I remember my (now ex) boyfriend going on and on about how good that movie was. First, he didn't warn me about the dog, I could have strangled him. Then, I had the gall to ask in the middle of the movie, "Why don't they just eat each other?" I mean, that's the next logical step when they finally run out of people, no? He got so angry with me over "ruining the movie" for him. What a puss.
What the fuck? The Grey is a metaphor about depression and giving up on life. Not showing the ending is telling the audience to keep fighting, don’t give up, it doesn’t matter how bad your pain is.
WatchMojo, how on EARTH could you complete miss the ENTIRE point of the VERY effective and satisfying twist at the end of 10 Cloverfield Lane?! Like, Seriously, guys... I'm starting to doubt your judgement
I mean, not really. He has the name Robin. But the actual comic book Robin has DECADES of direct training, supervision, and support from Batman before he ever attempts to do anything on his own. The movie Robin has a 3 month course to join the Gotham P.D., and literally nothing else. It is incredibly likely that the very first time he put on the bat suit (which he doesn't even have the expertise to create or use), he went out to fight crime and was immediately shot and killed, or flat out fell off a building and died. The point is, his name may be Robin, but his capabilities are "random police officer".
Burton's Apes ending makes sense to me, mostly. Marky Mark's chimp, Pericles, goes into wormhole. Marky Mark goes into wormhole. Then the space station, The Oberon, goes into the wormhole. The Oberon comes out first, thousands of years in the past from when Marky Mark lands. Then Marky Mark lands. Pericles arrives several days/weeks later after Marky Mark lands. They come out in different times in the reverse order they went in. The further in the future you enter the wormhole, the further back in time you will exit. When Marky Mark leaves Planet Ape, he goes through the wormole again on his way back to Earth. You can see the years rapidly move backwards on the display in his little ship. It goes from year 2700 to year 2100 in like a second or two. He lands on Earth around the beginning of the 21st century but Apes are the inhabitants. My thinking is that Thade was able to regain power on the Ape planet, reverse engineer the technology on The Oberon, then traveled through the wormhole and landed on Earth in the distant past where they were able to become the dominant species.
I actually enjoyed the ending to revenge of the fallen, and I didn’t mind man of steel kill Zod as sometimes you have to be made to do the hardest decisions and not everyone is gonna accept them.
I think the War of the Worlds ending is pretty cool. That's something that's likely to happen if any alien species did invade Earth. They would have no immunities to our diseases. It's a far more interesting outcome than some big battle we've seen a million times in other movies.
I felt that the ending to "Toy Story 4" should have been on this list. I felt infuriated how Woody decided to remain with Bo Peep at the carnival and not return, and what might have been even worse, Bonnie didn't seem to know or care that Woody was gone. It still angers me how Bonnie went from treating Woody like he was probably the most important toy ever in "Toy Story 3" to acting like Woody didn't exist in "Toy Story 4." The ending to the movie made me rage quit. As for "The Dark Knight Rises," there was a sign showing how Bruce Wayne survived. When Lucius Fox was trying to see how the autopilot on the ship could have been fixed, the technicians revealed it had been fixed a long time ago, and it was revealed that it was Bruce Wayne who fixed it, though I do agree with you on that. I didn't like how Bruce Wayne decided to stop being Batman, and how he passed the mantle to that cop instead, but I don't think it was a terrible movie. I thought the movie was okay and I do have a copy of it on DVD, and I liked that Bruce was Batman for most of the movie anyway.
It's sad that I'm defending Man of Steel since I dispise Superman as a character. But they keep saying it was murder. It WASN'T It was killing in the defense of another. Also Superman isn't the one who refuses to kill. That is Batman. Until Justice League that is.
I think the video's focus wasn't on the disease ending being bad, they even say in the video they understand it was the original ending. Instead, the criticism is in regards to Robbie, who we definitely see die, all of a sudden come walking up out of the rubble at the exact same time as everyone else so we have an unambiguously happy ending, regardless of the fact it makes no sense, wipes out any impact of his original death, and is blatantly forced bad writing.
The Mist's ending was good. American audiences generally want upbeat endings. But if the Mist did that, it would have been less memorable. Superman killing Zod was good because it forced Superman to make a choice he hated. Superman is fantasy, but I liked him being made to make a real-world choice. Like a cop shooting a hostage taker.
@@MajesticalHonkyI watched this entire video. For the movies I’ve seen on this list, I didn’t really hated any of it. Even Indy. Shoot, aliens may be even more real than magic stones and biblical powers.
When you’re spoiled with the cinema from the Golden Age all the way through the early 00s, each period great in its own right, it now feels majorly formulaic and unorginal. Making the contemporary films that dare to break the mold feel more earth shattering than they really are.
I don't get how people find the batman ending confusing. He fixed the autopilot, so wasn't in the blast radius when it went off. Why is that hard to understand?
Signs ending wasn’t that bad! People are being way too harsh on the aliens vulnerability to water, but Shamalayan said it was meant to be a take on failed alien invasion! Also I Am Legend ending is like Hollywood’s views of J6, when they want the cop character to be the tragic hero and the invaders as the boogeymen! The sequel isn’t going to save the movie franchise!
No the mist ending was good i got it it was a tragedy he thought he was saving from being eaten by aliens alove. But come to find out the army was fighting back. That scream he gave off was out of sorrow, guilt, that if they just would've waited a few seconds they all included his son would be alive. In essence he feel like he murdered his child after all that he did. That was a good but heartbreaking ending
In The Darknight Rises, it was explained how Bruce Wayne/Batman survived. He fixed the automation controls of The Bat. It's clear he jumped from The Bat onto a roof where he hid its now functional automation unit sometime ago and flew it the rest of the way to the sea by remote.
Why are you slamming 'The Mist' ending. It was a stroke of genuius that even Stephen King applauded. It was a horror & what could be more horrible than knowing that had you hung onto hope a little longer, the person you loved the most would've not only survived, but been safe? And, as a parent who loves their children unconditionally, I can promise you that David's soul crushing, gut wrenching scream was wholly appropriate.
So AI does have a wonderful ending- it just happens before the actual ending. David finds the Blue Fairy underwater and starts wishing to be a real boy. It's a marvelous ending with a good emotional punch. Everything after that feels tacked on.
About the dark knight rises: They mentioned the unfinished auto pilot in the movie, so we know that Bruce finished it at some point and was able to jump out way before the explosion. I found the ending extremely satisfying. Bruce could leave Batman behind and have a live of peace after saving Gotham. What do you want more?
The Rise of Skywalker ends just like Harry Potter did. "The risen again evil guy" and hero has a beam between them, hero then hears the voices of the dead that says he/she is not alone and gives their strength to him/her which lets him/her counter the beam back towards the evil guy and he LITERALLY TURNS INTO DUST in both movies
I hate when they leave movie endings open ended or open to the viewers interpretation. I’m the viewer, not the writer. It isn’t my job to create an ending.
Great vid, fun watch. The Mist's ending scream being 'too melodramatic', how should someone act when they killed friends and their kid, a few moments before safety arrives? A shrug and sigh?
I like the ending of _"The Mist"_ (except maybe the scream, lol) because it's very Stephen King. King has never been afraid to kill off main characters or young children, and-although bleak-it's a little more believable. I always felt let down with movies like _"Cujo"_ that shrink away from the big deaths. This movie added big deaths, but I think it made it better. If I recall correctly, I think King also liked it.
I think his point is he's surprised it's not on here because people hated it. You can like it all you want. But Marksman's point is that it wasn't received well due to it's abruptness.
It’s a bad ending in the same way that the ending of The Sopranos was a bad ending. Which is to say that it’s abrupt yet pristinely artful. Presumably anyone who needed fairy tale fluff would’ve stopped watching after the first Chigurh killing in the opening scene
In 'Man of Steel', I still think making Superman have an emotional crisis through doing the one thing he swore he would never do and his one chance at understanding himself & where he came from, made him more relatable. Logically speaking, if he was raised among humans while being subjected to the full range of human emotions daily for almost his entire life and, the fact that he is also capable of personally feeling most of them, then it stands to reason that there would come a time, sooner or later where he had to face the same range of emotional conflict we do. For him it was a choice between saving the innocent and going against a personal core value along with destroying the only other being who was like him. Who among us would think he did the right thing in letting those innocent people die in place of a being whose intent was to kill them all? Doing so would've undermined Superman's very nature. Keeping religious beliefs out of it, we should also remember that this is a work of fiction but one that is based on our own real experiences with emotion & the very flawed species that we are so, how could any of us relate to someone who is physically present among us but who is also morally perfect in every way? Sometimes we all have to make a choice that's going to be hard to live with but, deep down we know it's the right one.
Stop cite butteyed critics. 9:20 "how he survived an explosion was never explained"-Bruce himself fixed autopilot 6 months before, one of Fox engineers reveals it in ending sequence. And blake wasnt random.
I was going to post summethig like this, this guy obviously didn't see any of these movies, just read off other critics. Also with The Mist, the Main character killed his family, what was he supposed to do? Laugh????
Sure the Mist ended sadly for the people shot then the army arrives however, In the original story the hero and his son drive away into the mist so the monsters continued to threaten the rest of the world! Was that better?
I actually saw The Devil Inside in theaters. I had the urge to throw lit matches at the screen. A tired gimmick using an even more tired plot drags you along just enough to get pissed off at the lack of a real ending. As far as positives go? It was short, I guess.
The end of the Mist was great, if miserable. And as for the scream....piss off. When people are in genuine despair they don't sound pretty. As for Batman, I kind of thought that was a visual representation of Alfred's wishful thinking.
Okay seriously? 1. A.I.’s ending was such a tearjerker to me. 2. The Mist’s ending, while bleak and shocking, was definitely not awful! And 3. The Dark Knight Rises gave a subtle hint on Bruce’s survival, that I actually commented on the last time you included this on a worst endings list. Bruce commented earlier that the Batwing’s autopilot couldn’t be fixed, then after his “sacrifice” Lucious discovered that the autopilot was indeed repaired. Do you guys actually read the comments on your videos?
between the mist and man of steel, it's seeming like some of the entries on this list are "audience is mad that life is complicated and messy, and pretty goddamn depressing." i'm not even a fan of superman but i LOVE that he actually had to make a tough choice. the reality was he either killed zod or zod was going to kill everyone on earth. and henry cavill did a fantastic job depicting the emotional devastation of having to make that choice (just like david's scream at the end of the mist accurately reflected a man whose very soul has just been ripped out of his chest - that feeling of "i don't know if i want to scream or cry but i need to let something out so here goes"). there is no magic "nobody dies" solution, it's not an easy choice. i was really hoping ATLA would do the same but i guess that's too much to ask of a "kid's show."
Actually it was brilliant. The book ended with no fight and both sides just parting ways. Very dull. The movie actually gives you a very exciting fight sequence and then pulls back to the original ending of the book and they part ways. When I saw the movie I was wondering how they would end it, cause nothing happens in the book. At least the movie gave a thrilling scene before ending it. And using the vampire's visions as an excuse for showing us a thrilling scene without changing the book's ending was smart. Can you imagine how you'd feel if the vampires and wolves came together, talked awhile, and just walked away?!! Then you'd really complain about a dumb ending.

“David’s final scream is too melodramatic and ultimately unnecessary”…….. WHAT THE FUCK?!
Clearly people have never heard a parent after losing a kid.

The mist has no reason being on this list. The ending elevates it from an average movie to a good/great one. And in regards to the scream, I don't think you can get too melodramatic in a situation such as that.
How the f**k did The Mist make this list? Even Stephen King has said the ending is better then his original!

The grey isn't about the wolves, it's about depression and grief. So showing the fight would defeat the entire purpose.
Anyone who thinks Superman breaking Zod's neck is unlike the nice guy heroic Christopher Reeve version should remember that the '78 Superman defeated Zod by turning him human and dropping him and his fellow Kryptonians to their deaths in a bottomless chasm.
Too many have their nostalgia glasses on too tight.
After crushing his hand, no less.
TBF, it wasn't intended to be death. They shot another scene showing Zod & company survived and were being arrested by the Artic Police. It was cut, but only because, I mean, c'mon... artic police?
But Supes HAS killed Zod. Like, main universe Superman. Okay, so DC had an event called Crisis on Infinite Earths in 1985. It was the biggest event in comic history. DC went from an infinite multiverse to one universe (obviously this change didn't stand the test of time) and there were big sweeping changes. This is where Batman went from being a goofy Adam West type character to gritty edgelord stuff. Superman got depowered, going from "can move entire galaxies with ease" to "can't lift the heaviest real life tanks". One of the many changes was that they decided Supes should be the only surviving kryptonian. "Last Son of Krypton" and all that. Supergirl made a heroic sacrifice during Crisis, so she was taken care of. All that was left was Zod's crew. This is where shit gets dark. Vantablack dark. Edgelord Batman dark. Zod gets captured after destroying an alternate timeline or some shit, and he mocks Supes, saying he WILL escape again and kill millions and there's nothing Supes can do because he's not willing to kill. Supes admits he's right... and then drops some kryptonite into the cell holding Zod's crew. He sits there and watches while they slowly die of extreme radiation poisoning and beg for their lives. Faora was the last to die, and as she succumbed to the kryptonite, she was begging that she'd be his sex slave if he just let her live. Following this, Supes had a complete mental breakdown. The next few months of Action Comics were dealing with a "Britney Spears 2008 Meltdown" on super steroids.
As you can imagine, this was and still is divisive. Personally, I like it. And I hate Snyder's garbage. Because, see, therein lies the difference. Comic Supes killed after 50 years of a strict no killing policy. Everyone was left shocked, going "holy shit, he... he really killed them?" Snyder's Supes barely had his tights before he Christopher Reeve'd Zod. It doesn't have any impact when he does it right out of the gate. Also, like I said, he completely lost his fucking mind. Executing them BROKE him. Snyder's Supes screams once, then apparently builds a bridge at superspeed and gets the fuck over it.
But that isn't even the worst thing about Snyder's interpretation. Something I don't see talked about nearly enough is that comic Supes has a fucking *INFINITE* faith in humanity. He believes in the best in people and you will never dissuade him. Snyder had Supes go out of his way to find a priest and tell him he doesn't trust humanity. A particularly stupid koala understands quantum physics better than Zack Snyder understands Superman. Or Batman for that matter.
Superman didn't kill them.... the fall did.
Completely different from that Zack Snyder/Christopher Nolan crap.
@@lonestar6709 The fall didn't kill them.... the sudden stop did.
The Mist was crushing & a bold choice that made it unique.
The mist tears me up every time, that scream is something only somenes who's lost someone in their own hands can relate to, its not melodramatic its pretty accurate
The Novelette ending was so much better. Recommend reading the original.
He didn’t just lose someone, he lost his SON.
@@Eldanograndecorrection, he killed his son thinking it was the best option. The scream is the scream of a man breaking down mentally
@@MichaelBergs Fun fact, Steven King actually prefers the movie ending and has apparently said he wished he'd come up with that for the novel.
@@MichaelBergs The novella doesn't have an end, really. It just ends where the protagonist stops writing about his experiences.
The "random police officer" was Robin. We never got that arc, though.
I think the point here is that Comic Book Robin spent YEARS receiving extensive training and experience under Batman's direct supervision and guidance. The movie Robin is literally just a police officer who is suddenly expected to take up the mantle with no preparation, training, resources, or support. It is *extremely* likely this dude would have put on the costume (ill-fitting since he doesn't have the ability to make his own, he literally has to put on Bruce's costume), and then go out and pretty much instantaneously get himself killed.
@@MrMordraine Yeah. 😂😂 It's best we just leave him in the cave.
at least he was competent, he wanted work to be done, helped Bruce, was orphan like him and saw through the mask...

Nope. Frank Darabont was a genius with The Mist having a definitive ending.
Agreed!
Yep.
Nope. That was the only one they got right, an otherwise good movie wrecked by a bad ending. The rest of the movies on this list were ruined way before they got to the end.
Absolutely. More so with the viewpoint that the crazy shop lady was right all along. Only with the death of the child, will the Mist be expunged. WTF awesome ending!

Meh, complainers gonna complain. Personally I think Spielberg made everything way too much Michael Bay-ish to the point where a quiet resolution just wasn't gonna be enough, think Independence Day, big war big boom, ends on bigger boom on the mothership.
UP YOURS!
@@mrbigonbig it is the story of the book, but it didn't give any resolution to the main characters. Specially since one of the friggin survive, making the entire journey completly pointless.
Ps: non of these character were from the book so follow them fell like a waste.
I think the main problem is that, yes, it ends in the same way as the book. There's not much of a problem with that, but similar to the book, there's not much to the ending either. The movie already did more than the story did for most of its run, establishing its own characters much like other War of the Worlds adaptations did. But it could have showed the aftermath of the alien invasion, and how their own characters were affected by it. That would have made the events of the story feel more like they mattered.
I honestly Thought the Ending of the Mist was One of the best dark ending ive watched in any movie.
The use of Dead Can Dance's Host Of The Sepheram did the heavy lifting for that ending.
Law Abiding Citizen has an unsatisfying ending
will always be
That ending pissed me off so bad.
Why? Didn't he die in an explosion he himself set up? Seems poetic to me. Or did you want him to win in the end?
@@Arphemius Absolutely I wanted him to win. Jamie Foxx's character was terrible.
Second movie where Jaime Foxx's character didn't deserve to win.
The Batman ending was good because it was already foreshadowed by Alfred and he just put it in autopilot
My interpretation was different. It wasn't just foreshadowed by Alfred, it was imagined by him at the end.
The Dark Knight Rises is actually an amazing movie with an amazing ending. That random police officer is Robin.
@@jonmendelson1104 i don't agree but i love how it does make you think about it. i love Nolan films. they do say they fixed the autopilot, but still fun idea.
@@trey3905 thank you for noting this so I wouldn't have to rant about channels not paying attention enough.
@@trey3905 It wouldve been great if the continued with it instead of just ending it there. I wouldve loved seeing a Nightwing movie
Controversial opinion ... I I didn't think the neck break scene from Man of Steel was that bad. Granted, the scene could have been done a little better, but I liked the idea they were going for for about Superman making a tough decision in order to save people.
I think what ruins it is the fact that the next scene just kind of ignores it like it never happened, I feel like they should had at least one scene with Clark discussing and reflecting on what he did in order to make it work.
The mist scream is too much! Oh come on! he just killed everyone for nothing.
I did not think that the kid in A.I. died at the end, he merely went to sleep or shut down to finally find the inner peace he was looking for. Not sure why you thought he died.
He may have 'died' or he may have shut down until..... when ever. It is the emotional impact of the ending that's important. He had a last 24 hours in pure happiness and contentment. Who cares what happened afterwards? He waited so long and he got his reward - his fantasy of the Blue Fairy giving him real boyhood disappeared and he lived in the moment. Over the last few years it seems some people are trying to find logical explanations for everything, especially in movies. Sometimes I think we should just feel - screw logic and tap into our humanity - logic is for computers and robots. Emotion is what makes us human and I love to embrace that side. Also, speaking as someone who critiques and examines clinical research for a living - science is not the new God and does not hold all the answers. love to all no matter what opinion you have.
Can a robot DIE? He was never actually alive, and dying means the ending of life. He may have permanently shut down, but that's all a machine can ultimately do.
@@jacklow9611 So do people. Ultimately. We shut down. And some of us never truly live.
@@Hiklen : A matter of semantics.
@@goodeconsultingshropshirel3045So normally this is where I’d post a virtual essay with my thoughts but it’s been a tough day, I’m tired and this says exactly what I thought anyway! AI is by far one of Spielberg’s best movies of all times and Spielberg, especially in recent years, has become hugely overrated considering his lacklustre output …
There's a stark difference between an ending being emotionally painful and an ending being bad. Thankfully most people who watch The Mist understand the distinction.
The only part of War of the Worlds I thought was terrible was Robbie. He was so stupid, obnoxious and abrasive I was thrilled when he died. His return was a tragic ending.
His character sucked, but Dakota Fanning screaming for two hours made me cringe!
Right!?!? I was about to make exact comment but you beat me to it.
I loved that movie and I thought the simple catching the common cold was a brilliant ending (to the story, not just movie). Part of the movie was filmed in my hometown. Blew up the Bayonne/Staten Island Bridge. No more getting beer after hours. haha
@@InaEsin The cold virus was H.G. Wells solution in the book. The movie just copied the book.
If you saw The Time Machine(2002), The book was written by H. G. Wells and the film was directed by his great grandson. Simon Wells.
The ending to The Mist is incredibly bleak, but also great.
the ending to the mist is absolutely brilliant, turned the whole movie into a message about true courage. the woman who was on the military transport was the one who insisted on leaving in the beginning to go save her kids. her courage and selflessness was rewarded with rescue and her children being safe and alive. the main character was too afraid to venture into the mist, leaving his wife to die and cowardly choosing to kill his son rather than even attempt to walk through the mist (if some monster did appear he could always shoot them *then* instead of shooting them before anything was even close to attacking). if he had had the courage to leave earlier, the courage to leave the car, or even the courage to just wait a few more minutes, he would not have to spend the rest of his life alone and wracked with guilt.
It may be good it may be brilliant, but also feels cheap, a quick gut punch just to kick you in the feels and remember it, the end.
@@CREDLACEnot is you look at the terrifying possibility that the crazy lady was right. Then it's even more horrific. Son died and it so ended instantly.
at least its memorable
@@CREDLACE How is it cheap? It was the smartest option and what made the smartest sense for them to do in their situation.
Anyone who wasn’t expecting Optimus Prime to die at some point during the Micheal Bay franchise hasn’t been watching Transformers. Optimus died in the Transformers: the Movie back in 1986 because they discontinued his toy and he’s died at least once in every entry in the franchise since it’s a running joke at this point.
*What makes it worse is that they came back to make a 4th matrix movie that was so awful.*
I argree with you. When it comes to that series. The first one was my favorite
they said as much in the movie, the studio literally told lily wachowski "make this movie or we're making it without you."
One of the greatest two movies just kept getting worse for the last 2.
If you thought the ending to 10 cloverfield lane was bad, you’re weak and won’t survive the winter
I saw it in Houston and everyone cheered when she turned around her car. Cool moment
i thought the ending was hilarious XD becaue it turned out to be true, lmao
And winter is coming. Good comment
It was a great ending. It showed us the protagonist has guts to stand against even an alien invasion. And that the villain wasn't "right all along", he was cowardly. A grown man with a gun, he went hiding instead of fighting.
I love the ending of The Mist, even King said it was better than his Novella!
Sorry but "The Happening" had the worst ending in ANY movie i've ever wasted time watching. That should've been number 1 on anyone's hated endings list.
Low
Almost there Still. Rise of Skywalker dropped the ball and ruined the possibility of any interest fans could have had in a new trilogy.
"What? Nooooo!"
I absolutely agree with every single word.
I have never liked something so fast yelling yesssss
M. Night Shyamalan’s _Glass_ should’ve made this list.
It was so god awful
The movie overall was a disappointment, but the ending wasn't exactly worse than the rest of it.
I am so tired of people complaining about war of the worlds. THAT IS HOW HG WELLS ENDED THE STORY! The book ends with the Martians dying of disease.
Thought it was a great adaption TBH? Love the 50's version also....
I think the video's focus wasn't on the disease ending being bad, they even say in the video they understand it was the original ending. Instead, the criticism is in regards to Robbie, who we definitely see die, all of a sudden come walking up out of the rubble at *the exact same time* as everyone else so we have an unambiguously happy ending, regardless of the fact it makes no sense, wipes out any impact of his original death, and is blatantly forced bad writing.
@@MrMordraine no they specifically mention how "dumb" the whole dying to germ thing is a few times in the video, even referencing it in a later segment. I personally liked the ending, as it is realistic to what would likely happen to a organic species suddenly introduced to our planet. Like the Spanish conquistadors and native Mesoamericans dying in droves due to exposure to foreign diseases. If anyone wants to complain about the ending blame H.G. Wells for not considering that a advanced civilization capable of doing what they had done hadnt considered basic biology.
@TheOffkilter no it's pretty fair to call it dumb, but they still say while it is dumb, their real complaint is the son appearing from nowhere.
The reason it is dumb (and different from your native peoples example) is like you said. This is *an advanced alien race* that has mastered interstellar travel, advanced robotics, and massive scale bioengineering, but somehow is completely unaware of germ theory, something we figured out in the 1700's. That makes no sense at all. While the book being dumb is on Wells, the movie is allowed to modify an ending to make sense, it's not illegal, I've seen it happen.
True
I liked World War Z's ending. It was an unorthodox way to end a zombie movie, versus the decisive victory or defeat they usually go for.
9:25
"Never explained"?!?!?
There's literally a scene with Morgan Freeman where it's revealed that Bruce Wayne fixed the autopilot before he had to take the bomb away from Gotham City
Lucy did not live inside computers, she transcended her humanity and was omnipresent throughout all reality. She became a god.
Nailed it!
it wasn't great
Nobody with a reasonable IQ wonders what happened to Neeson's character in The Grey.
Haha, totally agree. I thought the ending was phenomenal and I didn't even realize that there was an extra clip after the credits - which, btw, doesn't seem to add much. Good on him for killing a wolf...another day on the job .
Absolutely... Perfect ending.
There was NOTHING wrong with the ending of World War Z. It was an effective and reasonable explanation to a pretty, satisfying ending. Nobody thinks a Zombie movie can have a happy ending, I guess... 🤷♂
As far as I heard that movie had a lot of problems. I think they ran out of money and something about lots of changes during the filming. They had a big battle ending planned and some scenes from that even survived and made it into the actual movie (like the flamethrower on top of a building). But they had to change things around to something less expensive without big set pieces.
Still the ending they went with works fine. It's different and nowhere close to the book, but it's a conclusion to the movie that doesn't necessarily require a sequel.
People seem to miss the point of Man of Steel,Zod said hes gonna kill or enslave every human on earth so instead Superman had to kill him to stop that and save the family that was about to die in front of him and the world got upset. Its like theyd rather see a Superman movie where everyone dies or gets enslaved. Makes alot a sense guys
👆💯👍👍
I would explain it more in terms of: Unstoppable force vs unmovable object.
It was presented as a loose loose situation. Sup couldn't do nothing. But he couldn't stop Zod either. Couldn't detain him. Couldn't persuade him.
They could have wrote different story from the start, but that was the only conclusion.
The bad part only comes from the how quickly Clark shrugged off this traumatic event and seemed ultimately unaffected psychologically.
The mist was one my favorite endings ever!Surprised its on here,I was truly shocked when I first watced the movie and how it ended.
10 Cloverfield Lane's ending switch is actually quite important. The stuff in the bunker is obviously a metaphor for escaping abuse, but once you escape that doesn't mean all your issues are solved. You still need to survive on your own once you're out.
In defense of A.I, that ending needed to be there. It was a tribute from Speilberg to Kubrick.
In defense to I Am Legend, the novel's ending worked better for how things were set up in the novel. But the "vampires" in the novel had humanity and actual intelligence. The Dark Seekers in I Am Legend were uncontrollable, raging, rabid monsters that indiscriminately attacked and killed anything that wasn't infected (much like 28 Days Later). Under these circumstances, it wouldn't make sense to have them be the "humans" and Neville being the "monster" in the new world.
According to more of the lore around those vampires, they see *humans* as uncontrollable, raging, rabid monsters from the other side of the infection. In the book, there was communication between the two species, but not in the movie. So I can see that. But lack of communication makes the inability to view the other as sentient more plausible.
There was an alternate ending where Will Smith realized the horde was after the female. He gave her back and they left. So he lived.
I remember my (now ex) boyfriend going on and on about how good that movie was. First, he didn't warn me about the dog, I could have strangled him. Then, I had the gall to ask in the middle of the movie, "Why don't they just eat each other?" I mean, that's the next logical step when they finally run out of people, no? He got so angry with me over "ruining the movie" for him. What a puss.
What the fuck? The Grey is a metaphor about depression and giving up on life. Not showing the ending is telling the audience to keep fighting, don’t give up, it doesn’t matter how bad your pain is.
Twilight ending is better then the book as there was no fight real or fake
WatchMojo, how on EARTH could you complete miss the ENTIRE point of the VERY effective and satisfying twist at the end of 10 Cloverfield Lane?! Like, Seriously, guys... I'm starting to doubt your judgement
The Mist is one of the most brutal and amazing endings in movie history. Tf.
Read the story. So much better than the movie and I really liked the movie.
unfortunately predictable tho
The Grey ending does not belong on this lift. Nor does The Mist.
Joseph Gordon Levitt was not a random police officer in DKR, he was set up to be Robin.
I mean, not really. He has the name Robin. But the actual comic book Robin has DECADES of direct training, supervision, and support from Batman before he ever attempts to do anything on his own. The movie Robin has a 3 month course to join the Gotham P.D., and literally nothing else. It is incredibly likely that the very first time he put on the bat suit (which he doesn't even have the expertise to create or use), he went out to fight crime and was immediately shot and killed, or flat out fell off a building and died. The point is, his name may be Robin, but his capabilities are "random police officer".

Never heard anyone hating of "The Mist" ending.
Including being listed in some of this channel's previous lists as one of the better twist andings.
A lot of these endings were actually great and appreciated, what are you on about?
The fact that the mist is on the list and law abiding citizen isn't makes it useless 😂
Burton's Apes ending makes sense to me, mostly.
Marky Mark's chimp, Pericles, goes into wormhole.
Marky Mark goes into wormhole.
Then the space station, The Oberon, goes into the wormhole.
The Oberon comes out first, thousands of years in the past from when Marky Mark lands.
Then Marky Mark lands.
Pericles arrives several days/weeks later after Marky Mark lands.
They come out in different times in the reverse order they went in. The further in the future you enter the wormhole, the further back in time you will exit.
When Marky Mark leaves Planet Ape, he goes through the wormole again on his way back to Earth. You can see the years rapidly move backwards on the display in his little ship. It goes from year 2700 to year 2100 in like a second or two. He lands on Earth around the beginning of the 21st century but Apes are the inhabitants.
My thinking is that Thade was able to regain power on the Ape planet, reverse engineer the technology on The Oberon, then traveled through the wormhole and landed on Earth in the distant past where they were able to become the dominant species.
I actually enjoyed the ending to revenge of the fallen, and I didn’t mind man of steel kill Zod as sometimes you have to be made to do the hardest decisions and not everyone is gonna accept them.
Not including Law Abiding Citizen is wild. That ending was actual trash
Always
I think the War of the Worlds ending is pretty cool. That's something that's likely to happen if any alien species did invade Earth. They would have no immunities to our diseases. It's a far more interesting outcome than some big battle we've seen a million times in other movies.
I felt that the ending to "Toy Story 4" should have been on this list. I felt infuriated how Woody decided to remain with Bo Peep at the carnival and not return, and what might have been even worse, Bonnie didn't seem to know or care that Woody was gone. It still angers me how Bonnie went from treating Woody like he was probably the most important toy ever in "Toy Story 3" to acting like Woody didn't exist in "Toy Story 4." The ending to the movie made me rage quit. As for "The Dark Knight Rises," there was a sign showing how Bruce Wayne survived. When Lucius Fox was trying to see how the autopilot on the ship could have been fixed, the technicians revealed it had been fixed a long time ago, and it was revealed that it was Bruce Wayne who fixed it, though I do agree with you on that. I didn't like how Bruce Wayne decided to stop being Batman, and how he passed the mantle to that cop instead, but I don't think it was a terrible movie. I thought the movie was okay and I do have a copy of it on DVD, and I liked that Bruce was Batman for most of the movie anyway.
It's sad that I'm defending Man of Steel since I dispise Superman as a character. But they keep saying it was murder. It WASN'T It was killing in the defense of another. Also Superman isn't the one who refuses to kill. That is Batman. Until Justice League that is.
I guess you never saw Batman Returns?
The War of the Worlds ends in the same way the book does, and with the words of the book. That's how it's supposed to end.
I think the video's focus wasn't on the disease ending being bad, they even say in the video they understand it was the original ending. Instead, the criticism is in regards to Robbie, who we definitely see die, all of a sudden come walking up out of the rubble at the exact same time as everyone else so we have an unambiguously happy ending, regardless of the fact it makes no sense, wipes out any impact of his original death, and is blatantly forced bad writing.
The Mist's ending was good. American audiences generally want upbeat endings. But if the Mist did that, it would have been less memorable. Superman killing Zod was good because it forced Superman to make a choice he hated. Superman is fantasy, but I liked him being made to make a real-world choice. Like a cop shooting a hostage taker.
Last time I checked, no one thought the ending to 10 Cloverfield Lane was bad...except videos like this. 😂

Also I Am Legend ending is like Hollywood’s views of J6, when they want the cop character to be the tragic hero and the invaders as the boogeymen! The sequel isn’t going to save the movie franchise!
No the mist ending was good i got it it was a tragedy he thought he was saving from being eaten by aliens alove. But come to find out the army was fighting back. That scream he gave off was out of sorrow, guilt, that if they just would've waited a few seconds they all included his son would be alive. In essence he feel like he murdered his child after all that he did. That was a good but heartbreaking ending
people really think that it was melodramatic and if they were to put themselves to David's shoes they would feel the same

Lesson most definitely learned.
In The Darknight Rises, it was explained how Bruce Wayne/Batman survived. He fixed the automation controls of The Bat. It's clear he jumped from The Bat onto a roof where he hid its now functional automation unit sometime ago and flew it the rest of the way to the sea by remote.
The Mist's ending is great. There's a reason Stephen King himself said that he wished he thought of it and liked it better than his own ending, lol.
Why are you slamming 'The Mist' ending. It was a stroke of genuius that even Stephen King applauded. It was a horror & what could be more horrible than knowing that had you hung onto hope a little longer, the person you loved the most would've not only survived, but been safe? And, as a parent who loves their children unconditionally, I can promise you that David's soul crushing, gut wrenching scream was wholly appropriate.
Some deserve to be on this list for sure, but almost 1/2 have good endings. I havent seen a list this bad in a while.
So AI does have a wonderful ending- it just happens before the actual ending. David finds the Blue Fairy underwater and starts wishing to be a real boy. It's a marvelous ending with a good emotional punch. Everything after that feels tacked on.
The Mist? You're sadly mistaken.
🤔🤔🤔 Maybe 10 Cloverfield Labe be so Hated because don't have a direct sequel... Excelente Vídeo👏👏👏!!!
About the dark knight rises: They mentioned the unfinished auto pilot in the movie, so we know that Bruce finished it at some point and was able to jump out way before the explosion. I found the ending extremely satisfying. Bruce could leave Batman behind and have a live of peace after saving Gotham. What do you want more?
The Rise of Skywalker ends just like Harry Potter did.
"The risen again evil guy" and hero has a beam between them, hero then hears the voices of the dead that says he/she is not alone and gives their strength to him/her which lets him/her counter the beam back towards the evil guy and he LITERALLY TURNS INTO DUST in both movies
I hate when they leave movie endings open ended or open to the viewers interpretation. I’m the viewer, not the writer. It isn’t my job to create an ending.
Great vid, fun watch. The Mist's ending scream being 'too melodramatic', how should someone act when they killed friends and their kid, a few moments before safety arrives? A shrug and sigh?
Superman doesn't have a no-kill code. He didn't just kill. Zod, for the greater good, also killed Quex-Ul & Zalora.
He usually doesn't, but he will if that is the ONLY option left.
I like the ending of _"The Mist"_ (except maybe the scream, lol) because it's very Stephen King. King has never been afraid to kill off main characters or young children, and-although bleak-it's a little more believable. I always felt let down with movies like _"Cujo"_ that shrink away from the big deaths. This movie added big deaths, but I think it made it better. If I recall correctly, I think King also liked it.
What about the movie “Leave the World behind.” That ending was leaving at a cliffhanger.
movie just followed book, but yes - that ending required too much from a viewer
I personally loved the ending of “The Grey”
I love 'The Dark Knight Rises' ending. I think it was perfect.
i agree.

The mist’s ending was epic. It was sad and heart-wrenching but it took away the trope that the hero’s don’t die.

I think his point is he's surprised it's not on here because people hated it. You can like it all you want.
But Marksman's point is that it wasn't received well due to it's abruptness.
It’s a bad ending in the same way that the ending of The Sopranos was a bad ending. Which is to say that it’s abrupt yet pristinely artful. Presumably anyone who needed fairy tale fluff would’ve stopped watching after the first Chigurh killing in the opening scene
I agree. The ending was anticlimactic.
In 'Man of Steel', I still think making Superman have an emotional crisis through doing the one thing he swore he would never do and his one chance at understanding himself & where he came from, made him more relatable. Logically speaking, if he was raised among humans while being subjected to the full range of human emotions daily for almost his entire life and, the fact that he is also capable of personally feeling most of them, then it stands to reason that there would come a time, sooner or later where he had to face the same range of emotional conflict we do. For him it was a choice between saving the innocent and going against a personal core value along with destroying the only other being who was like him. Who among us would think he did the right thing in letting those innocent people die in place of a being whose intent was to kill them all? Doing so would've undermined Superman's very nature. Keeping religious beliefs out of it, we should also remember that this is a work of fiction but one that is based on our own real experiences with emotion & the very flawed species that we are so, how could any of us relate to someone who is physically present among us but who is also morally perfect in every way? Sometimes we all have to make a choice that's going to be hard to live with but, deep down we know it's the right one.
Stop cite butteyed critics. 9:20 "how he survived an explosion was never explained"-Bruce himself fixed autopilot 6 months before, one of Fox engineers reveals it in ending sequence. And blake wasnt random.
I was going to post summethig like this, this guy obviously didn't see any of these movies, just read off other critics. Also with The Mist, the Main character killed his family, what was he supposed to do? Laugh????
Sure the Mist ended sadly for the people shot then the army arrives however, In the original story the hero and his son drive away into the mist so the monsters continued to threaten the rest of the world! Was that better?
I actually saw The Devil Inside in theaters. I had the urge to throw lit matches at the screen. A tired gimmick using an even more tired plot drags you along just enough to get pissed off at the lack of a real ending. As far as positives go? It was short, I guess.
The end of the Mist was great, if miserable. And as for the scream....piss off. When people are in genuine despair they don't sound pretty.
As for Batman, I kind of thought that was a visual representation of Alfred's wishful thinking.
Okay seriously?
1. A.I.’s ending was such a tearjerker to me.
2. The Mist’s ending, while bleak and shocking, was definitely not awful!
And 3. The Dark Knight Rises gave a subtle hint on Bruce’s survival, that I actually commented on the last time you included this on a worst endings list.
Bruce commented earlier that the Batwing’s autopilot couldn’t be fixed, then after his “sacrifice” Lucious discovered that the autopilot was indeed repaired.
Do you guys actually read the comments on your videos?
between the mist and man of steel, it's seeming like some of the entries on this list are "audience is mad that life is complicated and messy, and pretty goddamn depressing." i'm not even a fan of superman but i LOVE that he actually had to make a tough choice. the reality was he either killed zod or zod was going to kill everyone on earth. and henry cavill did a fantastic job depicting the emotional devastation of having to make that choice (just like david's scream at the end of the mist accurately reflected a man whose very soul has just been ripped out of his chest - that feeling of "i don't know if i want to scream or cry but i need to let something out so here goes"). there is no magic "nobody dies" solution, it's not an easy choice. i was really hoping ATLA would do the same but i guess that's too much to ask of a "kid's show."
Couldn't agree more.
Why is it that people want cartoons to be deep and edgy, but get p*ssed when films have bleak endings?
Some didn’t like the mist ending but MANY loved it
What were they thinking by making the final fight of Breaking Dawn: Part 2 a vision?
I'm blaming this on studio meddling
Actually it was brilliant. The book ended with no fight and both sides just parting ways. Very dull. The movie actually gives you a very exciting fight sequence and then pulls back to the original ending of the book and they part ways. When I saw the movie I was wondering how they would end it, cause nothing happens in the book. At least the movie gave a thrilling scene before ending it. And using the vampire's visions as an excuse for showing us a thrilling scene without changing the book's ending was smart. Can you imagine how you'd feel if the vampires and wolves came together, talked awhile, and just walked away?!! Then you'd really complain about a dumb ending.
