@@ma53jg "The Mist" did have a cruel ending, but that didn't ruin the movie. Far from it, in fact it was the best part of "The Mist"! A slow burn approach to building a sense of despair can work really well if done in an interesting way, but unfortunately most of the movie is rather boring. But the ending was great, and is the best part of an otherwise disappointing movie!
Ruined? A lot of these endings are the entire point of the movies. Last Night in Soho's ending in particular is fantastic, but yeah I just really don't get what this video was going for. Sad movies exist and if you're left feeling empty or sad that doesn't mean it's ruined.
Last night in soho is the reason why i clicked on this vid, cuz i saw it when hovering over the video and i liked that ending. Funny enough i recommended that movie to a friend litterly yesterday. But i also didn't per se dislike the endings of 'truth or dare' and 'would you rather' either.
The boy in the striped pyjamas needed the disturbing ending for its impact, and, in my view, did not detract from the horrific act of the genocide committed by the Nazi regime in the second world war.
They obviously haven’t read the book because that is how the book ends. The only difference is that in the book the parents didn’t know what happened to their son, while in the movie they figured it out right away.
Think it is based on a book so we had already an idea how it will end. Edit Checked and it ends worse, they enter the gas chamber and just his clothes are found. They keep searching for him and his father finds after an year the hole in the fence
Correct... it was as justified a homicide as could ever be possible, clearly in defense of others after exhausting all options and giving Zod tons of chances. A lot of this video is way off the mark.
No. Murder is murder. Society punishes some forms and not others, but it doesn't magically transform when you do it to stop someone else from doing it. There's philosophical debate to be had about reasons and justifications, but murder is murder.
@@Jmonkeh Murder is the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another. Keywords being "unlawful" and "premeditated". You might be thinking of homicide. Homicide can be lawful and/or not premeditated. Even permitted as in the case of self defense or during wartime.
The ending to 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' explains the reason why Bond does not let any Woman 'in' (so to speak). This was repeated in Casino Royale (Daniel Craig) but George Lazenby did it first and set the tone for the rest of the Bond films (as in the Books). Not 'Ruined', just misunderstood.
@@AgentOccamhe literally snaps Zods neck. That's killing someone, which can also be called murder. But I agree the list sucks though has a few good points.
@@evanprince3875 When you kill someone in defense of yourself or others, it's not considered murder. People use the words kill and murder interchangeably, but while all murders are killings, not all killings are murders. Besides, Clark killed Non in Superman II back in the 80s.
Man of Steel? I'd say that Superman killing possibly thousands of innocents by destroying half the city was more disturbing than the ending to be fair.
That's not what they're arguing. Many of their picks are poor or ill thought out, but many are correct. It's case by case, but they aren't saying ALL movies with less than happy endings don't work. They are right abut The Butterfly Effect directors cut for example. It's just goofy.
@@AgentOccam are absolutely nuts. That is literally the best part of the butterfly effect. It is the whole point of the entire movie and to try and say that that wonderful ending that perfectly done ending was something that made it goofy or bad is just asinine and most critics agree with me. It is absolutely what they are arguing here and it absolutely laughable almost every single movie on this list is made better by its ending not worse. Whoever wrote this video needs to be fired immediately!
This list was made by a channel that needs to keep making lists after all the interesting and good ones have been made already. And of course increasing engagement by making people argue or angry is the cherry on top.
... A sad or downer ending doesn't ruin a movie. A contrived plot twist or an undeserved deus ex machina ruins the movie. The weird idea that all movies have to have some kind of upbeat/optimistic ending truly ruins movies.
I love it so much I have the dvd. The part where the ship tells them there’s not enough oxygen to support them all and they discover that they picked up a new passenger was creepy as hell.
"The Box" should have used the endings from either the original short story or the "Twilight Zone" adaptation. "If you push the button, someone you don't know will die." Short story: Husband dies. "Do you really think you knew your husband?" Twilight Zone: The man reclaims the box and tells the wife he'll make the same offer to "someone you don't know", implying that each person kills the previous person who pushed the button.
The boy in the striped pajamas had a “great” ending in that it really got you thinking, it shocked the heck out of me, and it has stuck with me ever since I saw it.
The problem I've seen discussed with the ending of TBITSP is that we're meant to believe it's a tragic ending not because all of these Jewish people were murdered but because they also accidentally killed an "innocent" German boy.
The Boy In The Striped Pajamas. I don’t know if that ending “ruins” the movie….I mean it’s a movie about the Holocaust. I doubt there’s many ways to end this movie in a good way. Even if both boys had survived it would’ve still had the tragedy of the reality of the Holocaust and all the many people that hadn’t survived. Even if only Bruno had survived and Shmuel had died you still could’ve called it tragic but it’s still somewhat expected. Because this moment is supposed to show the darkness and horrors of the Holocaust. It’s horrible that both boys died when one of them didn’t even “have” to be there but I’ve never seen it as “sympathizing with Nazi’s”. I’ve always seen it as now that the Nazi has lost his son maybe he’ll realize how truly terrible the things he has committed are. The fact that he and so many other people have killed countless innocent children, as well as their mothers and fathers and now he knows what it’s like to have your child ripped away from you and killed in a brutal way….He might understand in the smallest degree possible just how truly horrible and awful the things he’s been doing are. It might help him see that the Jews are humans too and he’s killing their children. I don’t know. I never thought that that ending was terrible. It showed the darkness and horrors of the Holocaust which…you can’t make that seem any less dark than it was. You can’t ignore how truly horrible that event was.
The problem I've seen discussed with the ending of TBITSP is that we're meant to believe it's a tragic ending not because all of these Jewish people were murdered but because they also accidentally killed an "innocent" German boy.
@ But that’s what I was saying. Realizing that they killed their own son might make at least this small family realize how terrible and dark what they’re doing is. The sadness and pain they feel they have caused that sadness and pain to so many other people. Maybe they’ll start thinking differently, start treating the Jews as people because they realize just how terrible they’ve been treating them now with the fact that their son was accidentally killed the same way that they’ve been killing the Jews
@@rubygracemoseley8144 I agree. The ending showed that some people need to learn these lessons the hard way. They have to lose something near and dear to them before they understand their place in the misery.
Henry Cavill’s Superman’s scream, having realized he’s the last Kryptonian alive with Zod’s death he himself carried out, was a redeeming quality to the movie’s end.
@@ellnats like...what exactly? It's like saying cops should try to shoot a gun out of someone's hands when he's pointing it at someone. Easy to say, almost impossible to actually do.
the butterfly effect ending was great. because earlier in the movie we learn his mom and multiple miscarriages, and him "going back to kill himself, could mean every single one of her kids, did have the power and ended up doing the exact same thing.

The ending of Woman in Black I thought was pretty good. It was the ghost's way of showing gratitude for Radcliffe's character going out of his way to right the wrongs done to her.
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas has a sad ending because it dealt with how many people suffered during the war and how life is short for the innocent and hoping history will never repeat the tragedy again
The problem I've seen discussed with the ending of TBITSP is that we're meant to believe it's a tragic ending not because all of these Jewish people were murdered but because they also accidentally killed an "innocent" German boy.
Last Night in Soho is awesome, ruined is a strong word. No it’s not just because my profile is my artwork of Anya Taylor Joy in that movie. This does not deserve to be the thumbnail 😂
look im an anya simp just like the next guy, but man that ending was insanely predictable... seriously the director made hott fuzz the movie that mocks the obvious suspect trope in mistery film and this movie went with the most obvious reveal since shot one, i think a scooby doo episode would have a better pay off than that
The premise of the movie was great, but the twist at the end was lame and unoriginal. I would have liked it better if Sandy had in fact been murdered and Ellie had solved her murder, bringing her soul peace and her murderer to justice.
For "Knock Knock," an alternate ending had been created: Reeves' character, after his life went to Hell, tracked down his dog with a GPS tracker. He followed it to the house where another man was being tortured in the same way, with one of the girls holding the dog. He puts on leather gloves, then walks up to the door and knocks. The girls, startled by the unexpected visitor, look to the front door and nervously ask, "...Who's there?"
Beau is Afraid’s ending explains the opening shot. It makes the whole film come full circle. Also though it costs him his life, if you listen very closely before the credits roll, you hear his mum break down in tears knowing she can never experiment with her son again. Also mother!’s ending was on point about humanity & what would you rather? Them leaving the house & Him finally listening to mother????? Have a look at the state of the world
What made the ending to The Butterfly Effect so great is that when Evan and his mother visit the fortune teller, she tells them that Evan should have never been born. His mother later explains that she had three failed pregnancies before he was born. In the very end of the movie, we hear a voiceover of the mother saying that she's had four failed pregnancies, showing us that her life goes on despite Evan dying in the womb and the cycle continues.
Most of these entries are supposed to be disturbing endings! The Son and The Boy In The Striped Pajamas are dark movies and they’re supposed to have gut-punching endings, they’re not meant to be feel-good endings! Jeez, WatchMojo, you’re blowing it!
It doesn’t matter if you’re tired of hearing about The Mist. The fact is that it needs to be on this list. In fact it should be #1. It was a gutsy but unnecessary plot change from the book.
Would You Rather is a great movie, the ending didn't ruin a thing. Actually most of these movies weren't ruined by the ending, they just become bummers.
@@ForrestFox626 Oh, you're talking about that movie. I thought you were talking about Would You Rather. Yeah, Truth or Dare had really dumb characters. I agree.
I'm sick of people harping on about the end of Man of Steel What was he supposed to do, let Zod kill the family? In which case everyone would be bitching about instead.
Well, he could have flown Zod away, covered his eyes, superspeed jumping in front of Zod's heat-vision blasts, told the family to run away in the clearly open space, etc.
You act like it really happened. Snyder was supposed to write a story that actually portrays the character. Not write the character to fit into the dark and brooding world because that's the only kind of movie you can make.
The entire point of Boy in the Striped Pajamas ending is to show the horror of the Holocaust. The ending could not have been LESS of a gut punch if it wanted to convey this properly.
Dear WatchMojo: A SAD/DISTURBING ENDING IS SOMETIMES THE POINT. Somebody please explain to these people that not all movies end with “happily ever after”. For me, Superman killing Zod made him less of a Boy Scout, and more of a troubled soul, it made him more human. For Butterfly Effect, the depressing ending is the whole point! The boy in the striped pajamas is supposed to be a gut punch, and no, It doesn’t create sympathy for Nazis
It did make Superman those things. And that's the point. Superman is not those things. If you want troubled, human, morally grayer characters, there are plenty of them out there. Some early Marvel characters like Spider-Man were specifically created as a departure from characters like Superman, and for those characters it works. Changing Superman to be that way negates the character.
@Rhinox-89 There are some great ways to make Superman "interesting" that don't make him Not Superman. They didn't bother coming up with any of them, because Snyder has no idea what to do with a superhero who isn't dark, edgy, or morally ambiguous. For a great example of a really good story that features Superman done right, check out Kingdom Come.
I’m not going to say the box is a perfect film but the ending is what MAKES IT. The man offers someone else the box at the same time she dies and it shows it was always a cycle of violence fandom greed
Nope. They survive, and are led away by police (who somehow get to where the FoS is, but that's a different issue). In the theatrical version, this happens off-screen, and we never know. But in the extended version (not the Donner Cut, that's a third version where they never die because they were never released from the PZ because time travel) we see it happen in the background after the climax. Sure, you can claim that the theatrical version is the "real" version, and since we didn't see them hauled off it didn't happen. But if you insist that anything we don't see didn't happen, then they didn't die in the theatrical version either, because we have no idea how deep the "chasm" is. Maybe it's basically just a holding cell, we don't know. So, our three options are 1) We don't know, 2) Hauled off to prison, 3) Time travel. Since 3 is such the odd duck out, we can dismiss that as canon. So what's left? We don't know, and hauled off. Only one of those is definitive.
Between the novelization, the televised version, and the original script, the three kryptonians were never killed. I mean how deep do you think the Fortress of Solitude is? I always knew they were thrown into a snow drift and jailed later.
@@GruffyddFO4 If you're gonna go by canon, Superman has killed. Specifically General Zod, even. And he killed Mister Mxyzptlk back in the Silver Age era, and Doomsday in the infamous "Death of Superman" comic. Then there's the creatures he's killed, like the Kryptonian dragon. So while Christopher Reeves' Superman may not have killed anyone (except his corrupted self in Superman 3 and Nuclear Man in Superman 4), the idea that Superman never kills is simply not true. He just doesn't do it as a general rule.
@@Curu82 I've addressed this in other comments, but I guess you didn't see them. Superman *when written properly* does not kill *people*. Yes, he's killed creatures on rare occasions (I'd count Doomsday among these, as it was written during that terrible 4-issue gimmick story). But almost every time he's killed a person it's been either an "Elseworlds" story, or they were about to reset the universe the next issue. For example, when he kills Mxyzptlk, he then out of remorse depowers himself with gold kryptonite, and then the universe resets. With Zod, if it's the story I think you're referencing, he doesn't actually kill him because Quex-ul kills him before the kryptonite can when Zod tries to throw him under the bus, but that's splitting hairs. The issue was terribly written, another gimmick story. The only reason he kills them is to give a reason for his "I will not kill" code in the post-Crisis universe. And it was utterly unnecessary. He kills them because without powers and without anyone else to interact with they *threaten* to find a way to get their powers back and come to his world to keep killing. That is what is called an empty threat. When properly written, Superman - the Big Blue Boy Scout - finds other ways.
@@GruffyddFO4 Even if you argue that he didn't kill Zod (but as you said, splitting hairs), he also killed Quex-Ul and Zaora. Though executed is more accurate, which was the entire point. He takes on the duty of being the judge, jury, and executioner because there is no one else who can. That IS him being Boy Scout Superman; doing what duty dictates and he has to, even if he doesn't want to. Same with Mxyzptlk. When it comes down to it, he will set aside his own principles for the good of others. That the universe resets, or whether you consider them gimmicky or poorly written, is irrelevant to the argument. Canonically, Superman does kill when necessary. And if the Snyderverse is considered to be outside main continuity (and I'd say it is), he definitely kills.
IDK why people had a problem with Superman having no choice but to kill Zod in order to save people from being killed. In the comocs over the years, Superman has killed 19 times. Some of those he has killed include: Dr. Light, General General Zod, Quex-Ul, and Zalora. Also, Mister Mxyzptlk, Doomsday, Joe Chill, Kalibak, his father Darkseid, Wonder Woman, The Joker, Green Arrow, The Black Canary,Captain Marvel (Shazam) and Batman. Just for reference, Superman has been killed by Wonder Woman, and no surprise Batman.
The problem I've seen discussed with the ending of TBITSP is that we're meant to believe it's a tragic ending not because all of these Jewish people were murdered but because they also accidentally killed an "innocent" German boy.
Ruined? I don’t think the movies were ruined, I think it’s just that a lot if people think that all movies, have to have a cookiecutter happy ending. Witch is BS. I loved the directors cut of The Butterfly effect, it makes sense. Life is not always sunshine and roses, so I don’t think films should be that either.
The butterfly effect ending it’s great; it’s the most hopeful they could’ve got. Yeah it’s bittersweet but Evan wanted her to grow up happy and be free of trauma; he also got to have a life without pain.
Killing in defense of others is not murder, it's justifiable homicide, and it's something they should give medals for. If Superman let Zod kill people when he can stop it, he's basically an accomplice.
A bad ending can ruin a movie, but a controversial and/or so called unhappy ending is not necessarily a bad one. Conversely, a film that ends happily isn't always the right ending for a film. The original Planet of Apes from 1968 had a heartbreaking conclusion, but it was absolutely brilliant and has become legendary. it appears as though the films referenced in this video had some or unhappy or even tragic resolutions, but that quite a few of them actually worked better than some Disneyesque end where everything's wrapped up in a neat little bow and everyone lives happily ever after.
I hate Pay it forward due to it's unnecessary ending, but it is a confusing ride due to it taking place in two different times. Time 1 is that the boy starts and time 2 is Pay it Forward is halfway across the US and a reporter tries to find the origin. Spoiler ending the reporter finds the boy getting killed on the school playground.
Danny Boyle's film "Yesterday" should be added to this list, an apparently good idea they didn't know how to end. Also add "Get Out" - especially knowing how Jordan Peele initial and more relevant ending got scrapped! I was very happy to see both "Splice" and "High Tension" on this list, complete nonsense final plots. I do however really like the ending of James Bond "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", it shows how he's a human like anyone else, and also can experience loss, it was tragic but this ending made it stand out from all the other predictable Bond movies.
I have seen most of the movies on this list, and disagree that the ending ruined them. Tho I hated the ending of Glass, It wasn't because it was "disturbing" it was because it was pointless. Ok, Truth or Dare was a cop out. ok, High Tension is stupid. not disturbing, tho. I'm convinced you just don't like some endings.
For the woman in black, the ending is true to how the original play ends. Though in my opinion, the play is way more scary amd suspenseful. The film uses music that gives away jumpscares. But is still very faithful to the play.
Started with Man of Steel which has been explained to death, with Last Night in Soho being on the thumbnail. Not everything needs a happy ending, cause that's how life is, it didn't ruin these movies
You know, I don't like Superman. I have always thought he was a terribly written character. But sorry guys. He did NOT commit murder. That was justified homicide. It is legal to kill in defense of yourself or others.
Most of these movies had perfectly well executed endings and the person who made this video just personally didn't like them. Whatever, I guess they got our clicks and that's all they care about.
Reminder in the comics Supes, while not proud of it, executed an alternative dimension Zod after the latter and his cronies genocided humanity in their home dimension. Supes simply exposed them to kryptonite and left them to a slow death.
The difference is that it was a regret of his he swore never to utilise again, even forcing him in a bad situation with the xenomorphs in _Superman/Aliens._ In _Man of Steel_ he seems unphased after the scene is over. What should be a heartbreaking moment has no lasting implications for the Big Blue Boyscout.
Despite the controversial endings, I loved Last Night In Soho, The Woman in Black and Pay It Forward (although, rooting for Spacey when he punched out a child rapist is incredibly ironic.)
I'm still shocked how many people think the ending of Man of Steel was bad because "Muh Superman wouldn't do that" and call it murder, when it's clearly not.
These are what make some movies different, not everybody wants to live in fantasy land and imagine how the good guys always beat the odds at the end. Sometimes it reminds us to count our blessings.
On Her Majesty's Secret Service was one of the BEST Bond movies, with an INCREDIBLE ending! It really showed Bond actually being a HUMAN for once, even though he sort of was 'bought' into the whole deal with his soon-to-be-wife, but really DID care about her as he got to know her. A man with a 'licence to kill', suddenly being normal... ...and then it's STOLEN away by vengeful villians. It sets the tone for later Bonds, whom is more callous, violent, and much more womanizing.
For these types of videos is it possible to get a numbered list in the comments or in the description that way we can watch the videos first and then come back? Or even a chapters thing throughout the video? Thank you for reading. :)
I would say the ending of *"OHMSS"* (1969) was ruined by the fact that the DVD & Blu-Ray's 5.1 mix - for whatever reason - added the sounds of chirping birds in the background, whereas the film's original Mono mix had none whatsoever. That's why I prefer to watch the first nine James Bond films in their original Mono mix.
Amazing video Rebecca from watch mojo of disappointment ending that probably ruined there movies,fantastic job. I really enjoyed somewhat like the twisted ending in truth or dare movie.
These movies were NOT ruined. A lot of the endings were great. And a "disturbing" ending does not ruin a movie... WatchMojo REALLY missed the mark with this video
Most dark endings to movies are really appropriate, for a shock factor or for something for the audience to think about. To make it memorable. If people don't like the ending, then the whole movie is ruined. But the films you listed, all of them are really good. The Secret Window in particular (because I am a writer) is really good because it truly shows how we as writers can get lost in our own worlds. For me, my characters are very real just like that. After my father died, I definitely had a break just like he did.
I do agree with some of this list. Final rug pulls or twists do tend to cheapen and ruin endings. Seen several endings where they needed to end like two minutes before and it would have been satisfactory, this tends to happen in horror movies when they try either sequel bait or that last twist. One movie this happened in is The Cave. It was a decent movie but had that last second twist that made zero sense which ruined it but in a really dumb way, seriously it is so stupid.
As for the ending of the Entity, it paints the picture that it moved with her to her new location which is what she claimed to have happened it real life.
how is it murder ? Superman stops the villain from ending a family but doesnt note how many others have died because of all the other stuff sheeple this isnt murder
Can't agree on the boy with the striped pyjama's. If you think that movie got ruined by that dark ending, imagine living that darkness for real. Those movies usually don't get a happy ending.

This list was made by a channel that needs to keep making lists after all the interesting and good ones have been made already. And of course increasing engagement by making people argue or angry is the cherry on top.
... A sad or downer ending doesn't ruin a movie. A contrived plot twist or an undeserved deus ex machina ruins the movie. The weird idea that all movies have to have some kind of upbeat/optimistic ending truly ruins movies.
Or predictable ending, like Would You Rather.
I was able to get a sneak preview of Remember Me and the entire audience groaned out loud and boo'd when they revealed the date on the chalk board
Sunshine did not disappoint. You disappoint.
I love it so much I have the dvd. The part where the ship tells them there’s not enough oxygen to support them all and they discover that they picked up a new passenger was creepy as hell.
@@jsmalls9575 Completely agree.
Sunshine is one of my favorite movies from start to finish. I watch it regularly.
"The Box" should have used the endings from either the original short story or the "Twilight Zone" adaptation.
"If you push the button, someone you don't know will die."
Short story: Husband dies. "Do you really think you knew your husband?"
Twilight Zone: The man reclaims the box and tells the wife he'll make the same offer to "someone you don't know", implying that each person kills the previous person who pushed the button.
Such a great Zome episode! :)
The boy in the striped pajamas had a “great” ending in that it really got you thinking, it shocked the heck out of me, and it has stuck with me ever since I saw it.
The problem I've seen discussed with the ending of TBITSP is that we're meant to believe it's a tragic ending not because all of these Jewish people were murdered but because they also accidentally killed an "innocent" German boy.
The Boy In The Striped Pajamas. I don’t know if that ending “ruins” the movie….I mean it’s a movie about the Holocaust. I doubt there’s many ways to end this movie in a good way. Even if both boys had survived it would’ve still had the tragedy of the reality of the Holocaust and all the many people that hadn’t survived. Even if only Bruno had survived and Shmuel had died you still could’ve called it tragic but it’s still somewhat expected. Because this moment is supposed to show the darkness and horrors of the Holocaust. It’s horrible that both boys died when one of them didn’t even “have” to be there but I’ve never seen it as “sympathizing with Nazi’s”. I’ve always seen it as now that the Nazi has lost his son maybe he’ll realize how truly terrible the things he has committed are. The fact that he and so many other people have killed countless innocent children, as well as their mothers and fathers and now he knows what it’s like to have your child ripped away from you and killed in a brutal way….He might understand in the smallest degree possible just how truly horrible and awful the things he’s been doing are. It might help him see that the Jews are humans too and he’s killing their children. I don’t know. I never thought that that ending was terrible. It showed the darkness and horrors of the Holocaust which…you can’t make that seem any less dark than it was. You can’t ignore how truly horrible that event was.
The problem I've seen discussed with the ending of TBITSP is that we're meant to believe it's a tragic ending not because all of these Jewish people were murdered but because they also accidentally killed an "innocent" German boy.
@ But that’s what I was saying. Realizing that they killed their own son might make at least this small family realize how terrible and dark what they’re doing is. The sadness and pain they feel they have caused that sadness and pain to so many other people. Maybe they’ll start thinking differently, start treating the Jews as people because they realize just how terrible they’ve been treating them now with the fact that their son was accidentally killed the same way that they’ve been killing the Jews
@@rubygracemoseley8144 I agree. The ending showed that some people need to learn these lessons the hard way. They have to lose something near and dear to them before they understand their place in the misery.
Henry Cavill’s Superman’s scream, having realized he’s the last Kryptonian alive with Zod’s death he himself carried out, was a redeeming quality to the movie’s end.
yeah true, but couldn't he have done anything else to prevent that family from getting fried?

the butterfly effect ending was great. because earlier in the movie we learn his mom and multiple miscarriages, and him "going back to kill himself, could mean every single one of her kids, did have the power and ended up doing the exact same thing.

More movies have been ruined by unconvincing happy endings...
How about just bad or lazy endings? regardless of happy or not?
The ending of Woman in Black I thought was pretty good. It was the ghost's way of showing gratitude for Radcliffe's character going out of his way to right the wrongs done to her.
Gratitude? By killing him and his son?
Last Night in Soho wasn't ruined by the ending, though some aspects are a little muddled.
Agreed
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas has a sad ending because it dealt with how many people suffered during the war and how life is short for the innocent and hoping history will never repeat the tragedy again
The problem I've seen discussed with the ending of TBITSP is that we're meant to believe it's a tragic ending not because all of these Jewish people were murdered but because they also accidentally killed an "innocent" German boy.
@@mustlovebooknerdwhy do you feel the need to post the same comment multiple times?
Last Night in Soho is awesome, ruined is a strong word. No it’s not just because my profile is my artwork of Anya Taylor Joy in that movie. This does not deserve to be the thumbnail 😂
look im an anya simp just like the next guy, but man that ending was insanely predictable... seriously the director made hott fuzz the movie that mocks the obvious suspect trope in mistery film and this movie went with the most obvious reveal since shot one, i think a scooby doo episode would have a better pay off than that
@@motor4X4kombatnot to mention the horrendous CGI that felt so out of place on such an otherwise beautiful shot film
Its only you who find it okay tho lol
I thought it was a very good movie. Some class music and styling. Definitely not ruined.
The premise of the movie was great, but the twist at the end was lame and unoriginal. I would have liked it better if Sandy had in fact been murdered and Ellie had solved her murder, bringing her soul peace and her murderer to justice.
For "Knock Knock," an alternate ending had been created: Reeves' character, after his life went to Hell, tracked down his dog with a GPS tracker. He followed it to the house where another man was being tortured in the same way, with one of the girls holding the dog.
He puts on leather gloves, then walks up to the door and knocks. The girls, startled by the unexpected visitor, look to the front door and nervously ask, "...Who's there?"
Beau is Afraid’s ending explains the opening shot. It makes the whole film come full circle. Also though it costs him his life, if you listen very closely before the credits roll, you hear his mum break down in tears knowing she can never experiment with her son again. Also mother!’s ending was on point about humanity & what would you rather? Them leaving the house & Him finally listening to mother????? Have a look at the state of the world
What made the ending to The Butterfly Effect so great is that when Evan and his mother visit the fortune teller, she tells them that Evan should have never been born. His mother later explains that she had three failed pregnancies before he was born. In the very end of the movie, we hear a voiceover of the mother saying that she's had four failed pregnancies, showing us that her life goes on despite Evan dying in the womb and the cycle continues.
Most of these entries are supposed to be disturbing endings! The Son and The Boy In The Striped Pajamas are dark movies and they’re supposed to have gut-punching endings, they’re not meant to be feel-good endings! Jeez, WatchMojo, you’re blowing it!
THANK YOU for not spoiling the entire movie with the intro/title to each number on the list! 🙌🏼
Honestly, the ending of Pay It Forward was not a twist. It was an inevitability. And, personally, made the entire film less than it should have been.
Isn’t the ending of The Entity meant to say that the psychological trauma of being raped will always haunt the victim?
General Zod is my favorite super villain. That being said, I didn't mind that Superman killed him off. He did it because it was necessary.
For Truth or Dare, she should’ve dared the entity into ending the game and leaving them alone
FINALLY The Mist was not mentioned. Watch Mojo is obsessed with that film lol. Yes we know the guy shot all those people in the car for nothing....
That was an intentional part of the tragedy of the plot...
The ending was heartbreaking 😢
It doesn’t matter if you’re tired of hearing about The Mist. The fact is that it needs to be on this list. In fact it should be #1. It was a gutsy but unnecessary plot change from the book.
Would You Rather is a great movie, the ending didn't ruin a thing. Actually most of these movies weren't ruined by the ending, they just become bummers.
Except all the characters are idiots
@@ForrestFox626 No? Not really.
@@MysteriousPerson1991 The guy who cheated on his girlfriend didn't have to take a dare. He could have picked truth
@@ForrestFox626 Oh, you're talking about that movie. I thought you were talking about Would You Rather. Yeah, Truth or Dare had really dumb characters. I agree.
@@MysteriousPerson1991 Oh. My bad, wrong movie
I'm sick of people harping on about the end of Man of Steel What was he supposed to do, let Zod kill the family? In which case everyone would be bitching about instead.
Well, he could have flown Zod away, covered his eyes, superspeed jumping in front of Zod's heat-vision blasts, told the family to run away in the clearly open space, etc.
Agreed, too many options to chose from and he chose the worst one@@multitudeofidols
You act like it really happened. Snyder was supposed to write a story that actually portrays the character. Not write the character to fit into the dark and brooding world because that's the only kind of movie you can make.
Agreed, plus it was Superman's first real fight against other super beings. He was working on instinct, not strategy.
Zod would never have stopped and it made Superman less boring
The entire point of Boy in the Striped Pajamas ending is to show the horror of the Holocaust. The ending could not have been LESS of a gut punch if it wanted to convey this properly.
Dear WatchMojo:
A SAD/DISTURBING ENDING IS SOMETIMES THE POINT. Somebody please explain to these people that not all movies end with “happily ever after”.
For me, Superman killing Zod made him less of a Boy Scout, and more of a troubled soul, it made him more human.
For Butterfly Effect, the depressing ending is the whole point!
The boy in the striped pajamas is supposed to be a gut punch, and no, It doesn’t create sympathy for Nazis
True
It did make Superman those things. And that's the point. Superman is not those things. If you want troubled, human, morally grayer characters, there are plenty of them out there. Some early Marvel characters like Spider-Man were specifically created as a departure from characters like Superman, and for those characters it works. Changing Superman to be that way negates the character.
@@GruffyddFO4 oh no they made Superman…..interesting🤣
If they hadn’t, every viewer would have been bored
@Rhinox-89 There are some great ways to make Superman "interesting" that don't make him Not Superman. They didn't bother coming up with any of them, because Snyder has no idea what to do with a superhero who isn't dark, edgy, or morally ambiguous.
For a great example of a really good story that features Superman done right, check out Kingdom Come.
@@GruffyddFO4 Superman actually does kill General Zod, Quex-Ul and Zaora in Superman 22; did that also make him "not Superman"?
I’m not going to say the box is a perfect film but the ending is what MAKES IT. The man offers someone else the box at the same time she dies and it shows it was always a cycle of violence fandom greed
The Christopher Reeve Superman kills Zod in Superman 2. Zod's death just happens offscreen as he is thrown into a chasm in the Fortress of Solitutde.
Nope. They survive, and are led away by police (who somehow get to where the FoS is, but that's a different issue). In the theatrical version, this happens off-screen, and we never know. But in the extended version (not the Donner Cut, that's a third version where they never die because they were never released from the PZ because time travel) we see it happen in the background after the climax.
Sure, you can claim that the theatrical version is the "real" version, and since we didn't see them hauled off it didn't happen. But if you insist that anything we don't see didn't happen, then they didn't die in the theatrical version either, because we have no idea how deep the "chasm" is. Maybe it's basically just a holding cell, we don't know.
So, our three options are 1) We don't know, 2) Hauled off to prison, 3) Time travel. Since 3 is such the odd duck out, we can dismiss that as canon. So what's left? We don't know, and hauled off. Only one of those is definitive.
Between the novelization, the televised version, and the original script, the three kryptonians were never killed. I mean how deep do you think the Fortress of Solitude is? I always knew they were thrown into a snow drift and jailed later.
@@GruffyddFO4 If you're gonna go by canon, Superman has killed. Specifically General Zod, even. And he killed Mister Mxyzptlk back in the Silver Age era, and Doomsday in the infamous "Death of Superman" comic. Then there's the creatures he's killed, like the Kryptonian dragon.
So while Christopher Reeves' Superman may not have killed anyone (except his corrupted self in Superman 3 and Nuclear Man in Superman 4), the idea that Superman never kills is simply not true. He just doesn't do it as a general rule.
@@Curu82 I've addressed this in other comments, but I guess you didn't see them. Superman *when written properly* does not kill *people*. Yes, he's killed creatures on rare occasions (I'd count Doomsday among these, as it was written during that terrible 4-issue gimmick story). But almost every time he's killed a person it's been either an "Elseworlds" story, or they were about to reset the universe the next issue. For example, when he kills Mxyzptlk, he then out of remorse depowers himself with gold kryptonite, and then the universe resets. With Zod, if it's the story I think you're referencing, he doesn't actually kill him because Quex-ul kills him before the kryptonite can when Zod tries to throw him under the bus, but that's splitting hairs. The issue was terribly written, another gimmick story. The only reason he kills them is to give a reason for his "I will not kill" code in the post-Crisis universe. And it was utterly unnecessary. He kills them because without powers and without anyone else to interact with they *threaten* to find a way to get their powers back and come to his world to keep killing. That is what is called an empty threat.
When properly written, Superman - the Big Blue Boy Scout - finds other ways.
@@GruffyddFO4 Even if you argue that he didn't kill Zod (but as you said, splitting hairs), he also killed Quex-Ul and Zaora.
Though executed is more accurate, which was the entire point. He takes on the duty of being the judge, jury, and executioner because there is no one else who can. That IS him being Boy Scout Superman; doing what duty dictates and he has to, even if he doesn't want to.
Same with Mxyzptlk.
When it comes down to it, he will set aside his own principles for the good of others.
That the universe resets, or whether you consider them gimmicky or poorly written, is irrelevant to the argument. Canonically, Superman does kill when necessary.
And if the Snyderverse is considered to be outside main continuity (and I'd say it is), he definitely kills.
IDK why people had a problem with Superman having no choice but to kill Zod in order to save people from being killed.
In the comocs over the years, Superman has killed 19 times. Some of those he has killed include: Dr. Light, General General Zod, Quex-Ul, and Zalora. Also, Mister Mxyzptlk, Doomsday, Joe Chill, Kalibak, his father Darkseid, Wonder Woman, The Joker, Green Arrow, The Black Canary,Captain Marvel (Shazam) and Batman. Just for reference, Superman has been killed by Wonder Woman, and no surprise Batman.
Does someone want to explain to WatchMojo that not every movie needs a happy ending to be considered “good”?
Completely disagree with ‘the boy in the striped pyjamas’
The problem I've seen discussed with the ending of TBITSP is that we're meant to believe it's a tragic ending not because all of these Jewish people were murdered but because they also accidentally killed an "innocent" German boy.
The film NEVER CRY WOLF (1983) has a bummer ending but it works.
Thanks for so interesting and valuable video as always ❤❤❤
I wholeheartedly disagree about Man of Steel. Finally, a Superman who SOLVES PROBLEMS!
Boy you really got this one wrong. Most of the list has endings that made sense to the story
Ruined? I don’t think the movies were ruined, I think it’s just that a lot if people think that all movies, have to have a cookiecutter happy ending. Witch is BS.
I loved the directors cut of The Butterfly effect, it makes sense.
Life is not always sunshine and roses, so I don’t think films should be that either.
The butterfly effect ending it’s great; it’s the most hopeful they could’ve got. Yeah it’s bittersweet but Evan wanted her to grow up happy and be free of trauma; he also got to have a life without pain.
Killing in defense of others is not murder, it's justifiable homicide, and it's something they should give medals for. If Superman let Zod kill people when he can stop it, he's basically an accomplice.
Yep, I was about to say the same. Whatever you may think of that scene it most certainly does not show Superman committing a murder.
Whoever wrote the script must've just learned the word "dour."
A bad ending can ruin a movie, but a controversial and/or so called unhappy ending is not necessarily a bad one. Conversely, a film that ends happily isn't always the right ending for a film. The original Planet of Apes from 1968 had a heartbreaking conclusion, but it was absolutely brilliant and has become legendary. it appears as though the films referenced in this video had some or unhappy or even tragic resolutions, but that quite a few of them actually worked better than some Disneyesque end where everything's wrapped up in a neat little bow and everyone lives happily ever after.
if you are a die hard superman fan you wouldn't have had an issue with Superman killing Zod, its been done a few times in the comic past
I'm glad you had number 11 on your list. Although VERY sad, it is truthful and one of my favorite movies.
I hate Pay it forward due to it's unnecessary ending, but it is a confusing ride due to it taking place in two different times. Time 1 is that the boy starts and time 2 is Pay it Forward is halfway across the US and a reporter tries to find the origin. Spoiler ending the reporter finds the boy getting killed on the school playground.
Danny Boyle's film "Yesterday" should be added to this list, an apparently good idea they didn't know how to end.
Also add "Get Out" - especially knowing how Jordan Peele initial and more relevant ending got scrapped!
I was very happy to see both "Splice" and "High Tension" on this list, complete nonsense final plots.
I do however really like the ending of James Bond "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", it shows how he's a human like anyone else, and also can experience loss, it was tragic but this ending made it stand out from all the other predictable Bond movies.
I don't give a fuck what some people say, I loved the horror element in Sunshine. That movie goes hard.
On her Majesty's Secert service wasn't ruined by the ending. It's the best bond ending there is.
I don't feel Would You Rather was ruined by the ending. That was the point... she was put through Hell for her brother and it was all for naught
'Knowing' & 'Man Of Steel' Weren't Ruined By Their Endings Though. 🤷🏻♀
Nor was the stryped pajama. For it and man of steel, it actually elevated the film.
@@Oble_Noceda True - Elevated The Stories.
Mother too. I mean the whole movie was disturbing as it goes on.....
Yeah, Man of Steel was ruined by a lot of stuff, not just the ending.
Didn’t Superman kill the bad kryptonions including General Zod at the end of Christopher Reeves’s Superman 2
i wouldn't use ruined for these endings . some of these are the best part of the movie
I have seen most of the movies on this list, and disagree that the ending ruined them. Tho I hated the ending of Glass, It wasn't because it was "disturbing" it was because it was pointless.
Ok, Truth or Dare was a cop out.
ok, High Tension is stupid. not disturbing, tho.
I'm convinced you just don't like some endings.
If some of these were considered bad, some people are too nitpicky.
For the woman in black, the ending is true to how the original play ends. Though in my opinion, the play is way more scary amd suspenseful. The film uses music that gives away jumpscares. But is still very faithful to the play.
Started with Man of Steel which has been explained to death, with Last Night in Soho being on the thumbnail. Not everything needs a happy ending, cause that's how life is, it didn't ruin these movies
The End of The LIfe of David Gale is brilliant.
Number one should be The Mist!!
So basically, any movie with a downer ending is "ruined" ... typical
Yeah, I’d say forcing every movie to have a super happy ending ruins a lot of movies.
Like loading all your food with corn syrup - might taste yummy but not actually what’s best for you.
You know, I don't like Superman. I have always thought he was a terribly written character. But sorry guys. He did NOT commit murder. That was justified homicide. It is legal to kill in defense of yourself or others.
At least this is something animated films had that live action couldn’t achieve. Anxiety, uncertainty, and doubt.
The Evil Never Dies Scene From The Grudge (2020)
Most of these movies had perfectly well executed endings and the person who made this video just personally didn't like them. Whatever, I guess they got our clicks and that's all they care about.
"Last night in Soho is Edgar wrights first foray into horror". So, we're just ignoring Shaun Of The Dead, and to some extent Worlds End and Hot Fuzz?
Spring Breakers had great fan service, but still was a horrible movie.
I'm actually surprised that My Girl, Snowpiercer, and Krampus aren't on this list.
Shout of that singer Sandy. I don’t agree with her actions but I totally UNDERSTAND. 😅
Reminder in the comics Supes, while not proud of it, executed an alternative dimension Zod after the latter and his cronies genocided humanity in their home dimension.
Supes simply exposed them to kryptonite and left them to a slow death.
The difference is that it was a regret of his he swore never to utilise again, even forcing him in a bad situation with the xenomorphs in _Superman/Aliens._ In _Man of Steel_ he seems unphased after the scene is over. What should be a heartbreaking moment has no lasting implications for the Big Blue Boyscout.
Oh c'mon "Would You Rather?" was perfect
ending of would you rather is superb
Despite the controversial endings, I loved Last Night In Soho, The Woman in Black and Pay It Forward (although, rooting for Spacey when he punched out a child rapist is incredibly ironic.)
I'm still shocked how many people think the ending of Man of Steel was bad because "Muh Superman wouldn't do that" and call it murder, when it's clearly not.
I am shocked that The Mist didn't make this list......
The Mist wasn't ruined by the ending.
These are what make some movies different, not everybody wants to live in fantasy land and imagine how the good guys always beat the odds at the end.
Sometimes it reminds us to count our blessings.
On Her Majesty's Secret Service was one of the BEST Bond movies, with an INCREDIBLE ending! It really showed Bond actually being a HUMAN for once, even though he sort of was 'bought' into the whole deal with his soon-to-be-wife, but really DID care about her as he got to know her. A man with a 'licence to kill', suddenly being normal...
...and then it's STOLEN away by vengeful villians.
It sets the tone for later Bonds, whom is more callous, violent, and much more womanizing.
Man you hit two of the movies that I like best. High Tension was another movie that I really liked.
Last night is Soho was so good , some of these endings added to the movies they didn't ruin them
For these types of videos is it possible to get a numbered list in the comments or in the description that way we can watch the videos first and then come back? Or even a chapters thing throughout the video? Thank you for reading. :)
I would say the ending of *"OHMSS"*
(1969) was ruined by the fact that
the DVD & Blu-Ray's 5.1 mix - for
whatever reason - added the sounds
of chirping birds in the background,
whereas the film's original Mono mix had none whatsoever.
That's why I prefer to watch the first
nine James Bond films in their original
Mono mix.
Amazing video Rebecca from watch mojo of disappointment ending that probably ruined there movies,fantastic job. I really enjoyed somewhat like the twisted ending in truth or dare movie.
Honestly after the stupidity of Man of Steel, I stopped watching. Superman killed in the comics. It also was completely justified self defense case.
These movies were NOT ruined. A lot of the endings were great. And a "disturbing" ending does not ruin a movie...
WatchMojo REALLY missed the mark with this video
Last Night in Soho is perfection though 💜
Most dark endings to movies are really appropriate, for a shock factor or for something for the audience to think about. To make it memorable. If people don't like the ending, then the whole movie is ruined. But the films you listed, all of them are really good. The Secret Window in particular (because I am a writer) is really good because it truly shows how we as writers can get lost in our own worlds. For me, my characters are very real just like that. After my father died, I definitely had a break just like he did.
I do agree with some of this list. Final rug pulls or twists do tend to cheapen and ruin endings. Seen several endings where they needed to end like two minutes before and it would have been satisfactory, this tends to happen in horror movies when they try either sequel bait or that last twist. One movie this happened in is The Cave. It was a decent movie but had that last second twist that made zero sense which ruined it but in a really dumb way, seriously it is so stupid.
As for the ending of the Entity, it paints the picture that it moved with her to her new location which is what she claimed to have happened it real life.
how is it murder ? Superman stops the villain from ending a family but doesnt note how many others have died because of all the other stuff
sheeple this isnt murder
Can't agree on the boy with the striped pyjama's. If you think that movie got ruined by that dark ending, imagine living that darkness for real. Those movies usually don't get a happy ending.
I loved the twist in Sunshine, it elevated it for me. Same with the end of SoHo... idk ruined is a strong word
