In Episode 121 we talked about decent films that are somewhat cocked up by unfitting endings. Neil from Bexleyheath sees Vicky from Oxted’s shock at the ending of Lolita and raises her The House of Flying Daggers. I’d like to add From Dusk Till Dawn (stupid!), Away We Go (too sentimental!) and The Lovely Bones (I’ve not seen the film, but if it’s anything like the book, the ending is big hairy ball). But what do YOU think? Commit your opinions in a comment below!

Drag Me To Hell.
Ok, so it wasn’t even a decent movie in the first place, but after all the stuff that women did to get out of being dragged to hell… encountering talking goats, almost dying many times and then having to dig up an old Russian woman’s grave… she falls on the train tracks and into hell.
I’ve just spoiled that movie for everyone. 🙂

We had to watch this film in French called the 400 blows or something like that and it literally ended with a boy running along a beach for no reason (the entire cinema said “what?” in unison as the credits came on haha)

What about Monty Python and the Holy Grail? They are charging the castle and then GET ARRESTED? WTF!

Heathers. The end of that was a massive cop out.

Did anyone think that Del Toro got a bit lazy at the end of Pan’s Labyrinth? Just concludes, nothing special from an otherwise special film.

_Repo Man_. I think they just ran out of script and threw in a flying car to distract viewers from the lack of a satisfying ending. Other than this, however, one of the best movies ever made.

Agreed, I think the film is good, but the ending is pathetic

Yeah, the ending in the book makes much more sense.
January 23, 2010 at 2:15 pm |
where can you get the book then?

A good many Coen Brothers films… start off great and then just stop, suddenly.

The ending of Avatar – an otherwise decent enough film that was never going to live up to it’s hype – was a travesty, not least because it took about eighteen hours to arrive. Just know that if you’re a disabled man in a methaphorical mixed race relationship, James Cameron thinks that – rather than accepting who you are and seeking a partner who’ll do the same – you should become a GIANT BLUE ALIEN so that you can fly around on dinosaurs and have HAIR SEX with your peice of giant blue alien tail.
LAME.

At the end of the whole Star Wars trilogy (the proper one) wouldn’t it be better if it cut back to the scene with the guy saying “Hold your fire – there are no life-forms aboard” and the other guy goes “Yeah, f_ it, ‘s good practice though”, then they blast the pod and give you a quick montage of Luke growing up to be a farmer, the princess being killed, and the Empire living happily ever after.

How about ‘An American Werewolf in London’? MASSIVE anti-climax there. Oh and also ‘My Sister’s Keeper’ – you’re making a film of a book, it helps it you stick to the storyline. Bitchfaggots.
