What ending ruined an entire movie for you?
As Above, So Below
All this potential for hell and we get there and it's... just the cave but a haunted hay ride...
that weird google movie with emma watson and tom hanks in it.
its not so much what the ending was but how it was handled. like it felt super corny and cheasy and almost like a commercial. you have emma who has been dealing with the reality of being under constant surveillance and all of a sudden she is cheerful and talking to you the viewer about how its up to "us" to take control of the future yet she just tanked the company and its CEOs.
idk i dont remember it all too clearly
>What ending ruined an entire movie for you?
Not a specific film, but a specific type of ending:
Any movie (or tv show) where the 'big twist' is the audience finding out that the entire movie and all the characters are just a dream in someone's head and nothing really happened. I fucking hate those lazy, cheap, bullshit endings.
Arrival, as soon as the 'language lets you time travel' stuff started happening it just went to shit entirely. That said it wasn't flawless to begin with, the dying kid at the start seemed designed to pull at your heartstrings but it fell flat for me because it just felt manipulative.
fuck you, unbased and bluepilled
Ghost Stories did this, and it would have worked as a "trying to process guilt" thing if the ending wasn't a downer "well yeah you suck now suffer in coma" ending.
It was already a really bad and cliche movie with retarded stuff in it so I don't know what I was expecting but the ending of Timelapse kind of pissed me off
Interstellar. Let's use the power of love to talk through a bookshelf and fix all of humanity's problems
I still like the movie but found the whole trying to communicate with aliens a thousand times more interesting than the time travel twist, her relationship with Renner or the chink bullshit.
Really wish we had a whole movie on that.
How about the opposite, what are some movies where it's shitty or mediocre, but then the ending surprises you and redeems it?
yep i cant stand jamie fox now either
this.
what the fuck Cameron this is hilarious. its just so dumb on many levels.
T2 is still a great movie but I cant watch this shit without bursting out laughing.
Hereditary
Yes, that ending was retarded. They build a simpathetic vilain so good and then "NO, HE'S A PSYCHO!!!" What were they thinking?
Folks are gonna say Sunshine, but I liked the ending.
I thought it was actually a pretty great twist i.m.o.
The realization that her "flashbacks" are actually flashes forward in time was really cool to me
Life
The Lone Ranger (just the action scene)
The Dark Knight Rises (arguably)
John Wick 3, most recently.
I don't really remember but I think the book had avworse ending
Terminator 3 is pretty much a textbook definition of a dreadful movie with a good ending twist
The end of the film adaptation of 'Gerald's Game' by Steven King.
the prestige
Not a movie but the ending of season 2 of Nikita.
The finale was so perfect but they fucked it up in such a ridiculous way in the last 10 min. Never watched any further.
The Circle (2017). The ending doesn't ruin it. The whole movie is awful and offensive. It sucks.
10 Cloverfield Lane
The Game should have ended with him killing his brother and commiting suicide.
>What ending ruined an entire movie for you?
Sinister.
Planet of the Apes
Glass
It was already disappointing, but then just killing David off in a puddle like that left me absolutely hating it.
the movie sucked but it got the point across up until the end. the whole point of the story is that people have a right to their privacy and big companies like google are shitty for taking that away. The ending makes this point then does a 180 and contradicts it completely.
the game
Falling Down
>movie about a normal down-on-his-luck everyman getting fed up and lashing out at society
>lol jk actually he was always a psycho from the very beginning anyway
Now You See Me
Before the ending it was not good, but the tweest was fucking retarded
Most people who breakdown the way he did are usually psychos in real life though.
...
Because portraying rebels against current society is something hollywood doesn't want to risk, so they demand they change the story so that nobody could find a "common ground" with the characters.
Glass as a whole ruined the first two films for me a little bit. Throughout the entirety of Split there's no hint whatsoever that it shares the Unbreakable universe - may have done in marketing but I didn't see any of it so went in blind - and then that nice little hat tip at the end was a really, really nice touch. Had it been left at that it would've been so much more tasteful - two decent, standalone films with a nice little tie-in in the latter - than to force a trilogy to cash in on it. It cheapened the entire thing.
10 Cloverfield Lane
fucking JJ ruining a perfectly good claustrophobic thriller with great performances. Literally any other ending would have been better than what they did.
Yep.
Nah, that movie lost me way before that. Around the time they pulled the second machine completely out of their ass. It's not just that it's really forced and lazy, I also have always wondered if the film would have been much better if the religious extremism that destroys the first machine actually results in us not getting to go at all, I mean isn't that a wonderful and really brave point for a film to make? We proved we weren't ready yet? I also don't think there's ever been a movie like that, although anyone who knows of one can feel free to correct me. The ending with her dad is such shmaltzy nonsense too imho.
Fucking THIS
Take Shelter. The whole movie is a riveting take on how mental illness can affect a family then the ending is lol no, he was actually right all along and it really is the apocalypse! I roll my eyes every time I think of it even though I've come around to the idea that the ending is still just the character dealing with his schizophrenia and not meant to be taken at face value, even though that scene was entirely unnecessary.
Take Shelter is literally one of the greatest film endings of all time you pleb
I thought that was the film's genius. It gets you to understand and empathize with the kind of person who climbs a clock tower with a high powered rifle, which is an extremely difficult thing to do.
I think you completely missed the point
Came for this
Good god. I'm one of those people who thinks M. Night's best film is Unbreakable and that almost gave me a coronary. What a complete and utter miscalculation on every single level. Killing him off isn't even necessarily a bad idea, but the way it was done was so incredibly pointless and lame I almost thought I had dreamed it. Perhaps that's what Shyamalan was going for.
No it's not, it completely invalidates the whole film because they already had an ending and then spoil it with a cheap last minute twist.
Probably the best part of the movie. Philosophically powerful.
ID4 2 ending when the doc said "there are more alien tech waiting for us to use "
I'm kind of in the minority here but I really didn't like the tie in to Unbreakable at the end of Split. I think mostly it was just because I found the execution very lacking. I thought Willis seemed half-asleep and the writing was really contrived. The only thing that actually restored my optimism a little was the idea that it was part of a larger concept he was going to explore in a third film, but then the third film was so awful that the whole thing was pointless. To be honest I wasn't that surprised though. I think we all kind of went in knowing what to expect because we've all been burned by M. Night in the past.
>lol no, he was actually right all along and it really is the apocalypse!
Watch the movie again, you fucking brainlet.
My god. I thought I was the only one on the fucking planet who felt this way. I definitely wouldn't say it ruined the film for me, but I would have much preferred a more ambiguous ending.
Why?
Willis's "acting" has been like that for decades.
I saw the ending as another dream but this time his family is on his side and they'll get through it together
He's implying you missed or misinterpreted something but he's too much of a Salty Sam to actually articulate his point of view about the movie in a way that might make you legitimately encouraged to watch it again
There is no second ID4 movie.
A nice idea but they would probably make it shit. Best left alone.
That ending is the whole point of the film. After decades of holding on to science, deriding faith as just being a chosen belief that people find comforting, Ellie is given something profound with no proof.
We then have to decide if her faith means what she saw was real, or if she's just manufactured exactly what she want to hear.
That film is amazing.
I would argue he occasionally still gives a performance, but he definitely didn't in Split or Glass.
especially since the first one sucks
I would argue there are far more interesting points the film could have made than that, and that the journey to get to that ending relies on a lot of convolution and plot convenience. But to each their own.
I wouldn't say Hereditary was ruined by the ending but I was baffled by how much they felt the need to spell things out in the last ten or twenty minutes.
What movie?
This movie was originally not a cloverfield movie. It was finished filming and they just added the ending to make it different then the original.
Just watch the movie again and pay attention to the last scene.
Hint: it is actually a dream, but it isn't Shannon's character who's dreaming
youtu.be
I don't like to explain stuff. You're right, though.
Just about every single movie ever filmed has a shit tier ending.
I know, and it makes the whole thing even more infuriating.
It annoyed me, more than anything.
The Fly. The whole movie is about this guy dissolving and becoming something new before your eyes in a process that is painful, horrifying, and what's even more disturbing is that he embraces it. You spend the whole film becoming more and more tense as you wonder how bad this is going to get, what it is exactly he's becoming. Then he turns into a goofy looking monster who wants to eat you up and people shoot at it with shotguns. It's the most embarrassing, terrible thing ever and I have no idea why I'm the only one who feels this way. Also the thing with Geena Davis giving birth to the larvae was fucking retarded and you can see that she's trying really hard not to laugh.
>It was already disappointing, but then just killing David off in a puddle like that left me absolutely hating it.
I am convinced this is the worst thing he has ever made (the last airbender hatred is way the fuck overrated and is easily ignored considering how expansive that IP is) and seeing it happen just makes me wish he never gets another shot at writing/directing ever again.

The Dark Knight Rises
Not only was it insultingly short, the main character's death doesn't even happen on-screen and we're left with a shot of the big bad guy hanging in the sky.
I think even if you didn't know that going in, it would be so obvious that you would figure it out. It is so incredibly jarring and tonedeaf and stupid. GOD I'm getting angry again just thinking about it.
What part of this scene implies its a dream?
How ? The movie was good, but that ending makes it great.
At some point you'd think you would ask yourself, "Maybe it's me?"
your argument sucks balls
>Snowpiercer
>Alpha Evans sacrifices himself and the other based male for retarded nig kid and kooky boggle eyed Asian girl cliche
Absolutely disgusting
Personally I think The Happening is worse. And for a similar reason because there is a genuinely good horror concept somewhere in all the horrible casting decisions, horrendous dialog and bad effects.
Yeah I've come around to that line of thinking too, but on my initial viewing it was just so souring. The visual itself is so powerful, and it kinda doesn't mesh with how understated the visuals were for the rest of the movie. Thematically they're just subtle enough to make you question his reality along with everyone else, but then you get the ending with everyone reacting and it feels lopsided in favor of supernatural shenanigans.
Go sit at the kid's table where you belong
the ending for "us"
god that ending made me so fucking upset
My main problem with it was that I saw it coming from practically the first frame.
>``i dont like to explain stuff``
>``just watch the video dumbfuck!``
there is no implying of a dream, he`s pulling things out of his ass
You guys are plebs. Its about "mental illnesses" relation to prophesy. the mentally ill are merely out of time
Well I find that to be such a wrongheaded and ignorant statement to make that it verges on irresponsible so I wouldn't say that improves my film in my estimation
Again, I'm not going to explain shit. Rewatch the movie if you want, and pay attention to the hints that are scattered throughout it.
>there is no implying of a dream
Whatever you say, brainlet.
I personally thought the four dimensional library thing was really interesting, but I agree they harped on the love thing too much.
>no proof

Funny how you are able to write 3 messages about the supposed meaning/symbolism but are completely unable to point it out...
Its quite clearly what the movie is fucking about. Prophesy. Bugman, modernist, urbanite I have no time for your shitty skepticism.
Prophesy isn't real.
You are such an annoying douche, just don't bother saying anything at all if you're going to be all coy and pretentious about explaining yourself.

>t. logoskeptic eurocuck
that movie was shit in general
He was definitely the best thing about it. Honestly the idea of centering the third film on Mr.Glass is a really fucking good idea but he just dropped the ball so completely.
Splice. They built up a lot of interactions only to remember that they were supposed to make a horror film and rushed some bullshit in 5 minutes
>You are such an annoying douche, just don't bother saying anything at all if you're going to be all coy and pretentious about explaining yourself.

Confirmation bias.
>t. logoskeptic eurocuck
I'm not surprise that you would imply that being logical and having a healthy level of skepticism is a bad thing. My guess is we'd find a doomsday shelter in your backyard if we looked
>Christian Bale had his own cloning machine in the end
Fuck this movie
You're a fucking retard. Even as a stupid young child I loved this scene, its shows how selfless and unlike us the terminator is. Willing to sacrifice himself and showing this small sign to John and Sarah that it's still ok and he's fine with it all. Fuck you faggot.
You have literally 0 skepticism if you say "prophesy isnt real" thats the opposite of skepticism. You realize skepticism is questioning ESTABLISHED DOGMA right? If you just bow down to what the priest in the labcoat says you arent being skeptical you fucking retard.

The Happening
What words did i misspell? Browser does not show any typos. Don't worry you dont have to strain yourself I know I didnt. Or are you grasping at straws in the form of apostrophes
>a person inclined to question or doubt accepted opinions.
This is the definition of skepticism. In modern life, denying prophesy is the "accepted opinion". Thus it follows that questioning how metaphysical notions are "invalid" is proper skepticism. You fucking retard.
>where
The prophesies that have been shown to come true that you wrote off as confirmation bias...
The Mist
I mean, zealots of yesteryear had the exact same opinion when you questioned their bishops. And it's not a meme, you are clearly, and blindly, defending them and their dogma. A dogma I assure you that you have not independently verified at any step.
>What words did i misspell?
Prophecy doesn't have an 's' in it.
>In modern life, denying prophesy is the "accepted opinion"
This is such a disingenuous cop-out argument. Questioning established dogmas does not mean dusting off old archaic ones and rejecting new ones, it means rejecting any dogma and making your own conclusions. With your brain.
>The prophesies that have been shown to come true that you wrote off as confirmation bias...

Both spellings are accepted retard.
>disingenuous
nope its the definition of skepticism. Questioning accepted opinions. It is the accepted opinion of the modern age that metaphysical issues either dont exist or are negligible.
>facts not bullshit
You realize you are doing a little loop here right? Prophesy is shown to be true, its confirmation bias, its confirmation bias cause its facts you dont want to believe, its bullshit because you dont want to believe its facts, its bullshit cause its confirmation bias ad infinitum. Ever heard of Edgar Cayce nigger? The medical community of his day would literally send patients to him for help with diagnosis.
>I'm not able to post the meme image I was going to resort to in lieu of having an actual argument

Try not being completely ignorant on religious history.
>strawman
No, its not a strawman. What is a strawman is what you greentexted. You are defending the scientist behind the pulpit with the same vigor zealots defend the priest or the bishop.
>baseless assumption
Well considering a great wealth of accepted knowledge is only able to be proven with cutting edge, and expensive technology, not its not an assumption. Or are you going to lie and say you have independently verified every scientific fact and its natural basis
>Both spellings are accepted retard.
Where? By whom?
>nope its the definition of skepticism. Questioning accepted opinions
Right. All of them. Not just the modern ones. Questioning the modern ones while not questioning the ancient ones at all is the definition of retardation.
>You realize you are doing a little loop here right?
The loop being that I keep asking you to verify your asinine statements and you continue to refuse.

I'm sorry, are you arguing in favor of modern science now?
It succeeded at what it was trying to do, but I didnt enjoy it
Shut up arguing about your retard conspiracy theories and how the government can be trusted completely
No... not all of them. The ACCEPTED ones. We no longer accept the impact of the metaphysical and preter/supernatural in day to day life. Its no longer an accepted opinion. This is the most braindead take I've ever read.
>verify
Again... look up edgar cayce, the man who the medical community at the time would send patients to because of the veracity of his visions
I'm not a comic book fan either.

Genuinely curious what you didn't like about the ending of Unbreakable.
>no im not
Okay well if you want to lie to yourself and the rest of this thread I don't care, thats your prerogative. You clearly typed a defense of them, no amount of cope will change that
>arguing in favor of modern science
No where did I even remotely infer that I am arguing against modern science. I am arguing against your statement that me saying you havent independently verified it is baseless. Its not, because the price and knowledge needed to independently verify every scientific "fact" given is not possible for you. Why are you so dishonest?
Nothing has directed the course of history as much as religion has. By refusing to educate yourself on it because you're obsessed with showing everyone how 'superior' you are, you're just showing your immaturity. You're an intellectual child.
I feel like the Take Shelter argument has started to lose the thread, but as the guy that posted it I just want to reiterate. I get that the ending is meant to be ambiguous but my main argument is that it didn't need an ambiguous ending. I'm sorry I'm not one of those redditors that subscribes to the theory that ambiguous endings are always amazeballs.
How are scientists paid?
>Especially since the question was already asked and answered in the thread
Hadn't updated the page but noticed it immediately after I'd posted. Cheers, in any case.
>No... not all of them. The ACCEPTED ones.
That is not skepticism. That is having a bias.
>you do the due diligence to back up my arguments for me because I'm too lazy
what can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence
Sorry but it's now SCIENTIFIC FACT that gender is a spectrum with infinite possibilities sweaty...
Why? The ending was giving me a bit of action fatigue admittedly, not many breaks for a 2 hour movie, but it was still incredible. The twist was slightly retarded but he gets to take down the entire system next movie so I'll accept it.
The twist is being forced down your throat the whole time, so if the ending ruins it for you you're a brainlet.

Epic! I'm not here to spoonfeed you the truth every step of the way. You've been given more than enough. You can either remain ignorant, convinced of your own intelligence (you will do this), or you can explore and actually grow in your intelligence (you wont do this).
No it isn't, weirdo.
this right here
god damn it
>you can't verify facts because ur too dumb
Not him but you literally can not verify these 'facts' because you don't have access to the tools used to establish them. You're relying on the man with the book to lead you to truth.
how are religious figures paid?
It actually is. Try keeping up with the latest developments you fucking science denier. I bet you don't think global warming is real either lol
>>le scientists who spend their entire lives questioning things and changing and adopting new theories on the regular are the same as religious con men who are relying on something that was written a thousand years ago and has never once been amended or updated
This ironic statement is a clear defense against a comparison of the dogma of church to science. You cannot deny this you can only lie about it as you lie about everything else, namely your next "point"
>muh ad hominem
1. If i even had said that, it wouldnt be an adhom, it would be an insult.
2. I am saying you have not independently verified every scientific "fact". Can you just discuss honestly and say whether or not you have independently verified every fact science tells us? Including the ones that needed millions upon millions of dollars to verify?
I'm an expert in plenty of things and religion is not one of them and I make no apologies for this. All manner of complex motivations and intricate treaties and land grab loopholes and political entities vying for control have directed the course of history and viewing it in so simplistic a narrative proves that you're either the intellectual child here or you're just dishonest, either with me or with yourself.

Great, does that mean you're leaving?
>tfw no brobot
It takes two to tango.
No because you are erroneously trying to extend this to past accepted truths. It is simply not how the word works. Skepticism is alive and present. Preter/Supernatural are not claims of truth anymore.
why are you lying lmao. Even were it true what you say, you have still presented a defense of scientific dogma.

>No because you are erroneously trying to extend this to past accepted truths.
No, you are erroneously trying to assert that past doctrines are immune to the same level of skepticism as modern ones.
>Independent experience combined with perennial and prehistoric mythical truths.
So, bullshit. I thought as much.
K-Pax. Unless I just misunderstood it. Did the alien leave his body or did he snap out of his delusion? If the latter is true and the alien shit was fake then I fucking hate it.
>So, bullshit. I thought as much.
You should look into just how many religious myths and symbolism exist almost identically in cultures across the entire planet, including the Americas before you spout some horseshit about trade.
I'd recommend you read the book
Return of the King with all that queer hobbit hugging on the bed and gandalf just staring at them smiling like the old queen he is.
>past myths have never been used to prove present truths
>he has no clue of perennial truths
>he has no clue of archetypes found throughout every early culture
Thats gunna be a yikes from me dog. you are severely uneducated as to the history of man, and his metaphysical properties/mental archetypes.
>immune to skepticism
they are.... because by definition they are not accepted truths.
>you should look into my confirmation bias
I'll pass.
>before you spout some horseshit about trade
There you are again, painting me as the type of person you already have talking points to combat because you don't know how to have a discussion otherwise.
Jack Hugemans cloning machine was totally over the top and I think that's what the previous user actually meant. It totally changed the tone of the movie from psycho drama to sci-fi/fantasy in the last quarter of an hour.

>independent verification is confirmation bias
So... this is the power of the modern bugman...
You can be skeptical of something that is not the status quo, stupid. There is no inherent classist or revolutionary aspect to the definition of the word. You are making that up.
>you are severely uneducated as to the history of man, and his metaphysical properties/mental archetypes.
No, I just process them with a healthy level of skepticism.
But then we wouldn’t have this classic. youtu.be
>bugman
I don't even know what this means, and of course independent verification is susceptible to confirmation bias if something verified by a ton of people still is, are you retarded?
Multiple dimensions out of nowhere
I actually enjoyed it till the last 30 to 40 minutes. For me I think it fell apart when they went back to the amusement park. Also I hate the Tim and Eric show guy.
They aren’t, theoretically
>simpathetic vilain
wat
Blatant disregard is not a "healthy level of skepticism". You dont know what the word means its just another tool of your dogma inappropriately applied
Her keeping the baby ruined it for me. Guess she orgasmed during the rape.
When myths, symbolism, and even the fucking names of religious rituals in the ancient Americas are nearly identical to those found across Europe, Asia, and Africa, there's objectively something there. You just don't want there to be because you have a bone to pick with religion.
The key word in your sentence is "theoretically"
Forrest Gump. When he goes to be with the AIDs ridden whore who ignored him all his life and I'm supposed to fucking accept this is a good ending?? what the fuck.
It's only blatant disregard through your warped filter because you don't apply any skepticism to it and just assume it's all true because it's the opposite of what modern science says. You are a crazy person.

Provide yours first since you're the one asserting all this background research and credibility by calling mine into question. Right, you don't have any.
As I already, along with another user, stated. Independent experience, and thousands of years of perennial truth, and shared mythology across the entirety of earth. Why are le enlightened skeptics always afraid to show their methodology behind their beliefs?
Well, I mean, him raising and loving the child as best he can even though she did him wrong so many times is what I always liked about the ending. Shows what a good person Forrest is. Also I kind of got the sense that Jenny was just extremely troubled, never malicious.
This faggot straight up never heard of Martin Luther. I'm atheist, user, but religious history is rife with revolutionary spirits upending church doctrine. Shut your faggot mouth.
>Wes Craven’s They
Holy shit I almost forgot about this movie.
I remember the ending actually being kinda fun because the lady ends up trapped behind the glass in the monster dimension, banging on it and screaming at her friends
Next time jamal fucks your gf be sure to lick his ass.
He killed nearly every person with two shots to the chest and one to the head. The bonus features of the movie goes into a little bit more depth about it.
Independent experience is not 'proof', first of all. Second, mythology differs widely across the earth in numerous ways and everyone who is not cherrypicking knows that. I also reject your argument that all things that are really old are indisputable as ludicrous.
>Why are le enlightened skeptics always afraid to show their methodology behind their beliefs?
Why are contrarian religious nutjobs always criticizing people for not verifying their scientific assertions and then when they're asked to justify their own, all they can do is point to a bible?
Oh, I see. You're an alt-right snowflake. Sorry, I thought I was talking to a real person.
The fact that people had to struggle that hard to make changes so tiny that they're practically semantic proves my point more than yours, actually.
>independent experience is not proof
To who? of course it is lmao
>mythology differs widely
That is contrary to what every comparative mythologist has said. How do you think Jung was able to come up with his archetypes found in human psyche if they, at the root, "differed wildly". You quite clearly have never put even a moment of research into the topic
>all old things are indisputable
I dont remember ever typing this care to quote it for me? When did I ever "point to a bible"? I don't think I brought up religion once. I brought up mythology.
>so tiny they're practically semantic
What did I just say about that faggot mouth of yours, faggot?
>To who?
To anyone apart from the individual who had the experience. Duh.
>How do you think Jung was able to come up with his archetypes found in human psyche
This is really a stretch, user.
>I dont remember ever typing this care to quote it for me?
that 'thousands of years of perennial truth' gobbledygook that you keep saying over and over, it doesn't mean anything to me.
You should probably take a few deep breaths or maybe take a break from the internet for a few minutes to an hour.
Okay so its not widely accepted proof that does not invalidate it though. Just to you.
>this is a stretch
quit confirming you have not read anything on the subject lol thats comparative mythology is precisely where he pulled the archetypes from.
>perennial truth
Perennial truth is timeless and not relegated to the past, it is merely found at every step of society going back thousands of years.
it wasn't a good movie before the shit ending anyway
Cormac McCarthy is garbage. I put him in the same stylistic trash bin with Updike and DFW
They failed to make him a bad guy and still try to paint him as one, awful.
>his mouth, righteously sealed
Good
the good ones do it, and it don't feel forced, contrived, or maudlin
>widely accepted proof

>found at every step of society going back thousands of years

>comparative mythology is precisely where he pulled the archetypes from
and where does that connect with any of what you are saying? If you're saying that thought patterns and recurrent personality traits are evidence of some kind of inherent spiritual connection, yeah that's just your confirmation bias. I would say those traits created God rather than God creating those traits. It's really a chicken or the egg argument at that point, and it's pretty clear where either of us come down on the subject. But just for the record, yeah, I think you're profoundly delusional and you definitely don't have any more factual basis for your claims than I do. In fact you have less.
You realize it was a take on Noah’s ark yes?
What were you saying about my sealed mouth?
Okay, nevermind then
Absolutely not. Because of how blatantly it contradicts the previous films.
>The future is not set. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves.
>Actually, fuck that. Judgement day is inevitable.
This. It was on the verge of being great, and then the throw it all out for
>muh chilluns
Based.
Based retard.
What exacltey is wrong with In Bruges and Mystic River? They had perfect endings.
Avengers: Endgame. That was the gayest ending ever.
I think it comes down to the difference between how the two of us experience movies. When you are genuinely surprised by something in a movie you get annoyed and feel hoodwinked, whereas I find it exciting.
It was. Movie started alright, then got pretty retarded and then, all of a sudden a killer ending. Never expected that this movie could go so dark.
Also, great soundtrack.
>Independent experience combined with perennial and prehistoric mythical truths.
HahahahahahahahahahahaHahahahahahahahahahahaHahahahahahahahahahaha
THIS SO FUCKING MUCH
Ahhhh don't poke the hornet's nest user, I had just finally gotten him to shut up
I'm sure I'll get shit for this, but... Rosemary's Baby. The whole movie is a masterpiece, it's an exploration of paranoia and groupthink and of never being totally sure what is transpiring around you. It's so atmospheric and dreamlike. Then the ending is like letting the air out of a balloon. It completely clarifies in a way that makes it no longer relatable or believable in any sense. It's comical. They literally chant "HAIL SATAN!" Conceptually and execution wise, I just found it to be from a different film. A much lesser film. I hated it.
>Ted
I found it suprisingly entertaining until the unnecessary carchase-action/drama ending ruined it.
It isn't a happy ending, though. It was meant to show how there are no consequences to his actions ever because someone always picks up the pieces and fixes things for him. Even the woman who acted as though he was a smug prick backpedaled on everything she knew was true because he's rich and privileged and could provide for her. The ending is brilliant.
kill list
I can't remember the name of the film but it was TERRIBLE and the ending made it even worse.
It was set on Europa and there's this unseen glowing creature that's killing off the cast but at the end THEY SHOW THE FUCKING CREATURE.
Even a 12 year old knows about the "fear of the unknown" shit
Alien 3
They can hoard tithes from their followers, but in any event they aren’t funded by or beholden to governments and university administrations.
>good ending twist
No, governments are beholden to them, which is even worse.
10 Cloverfield Lane is pretty much the biggest shining example of a great movie ruined by a bad ending. I honestly can't even fathom how it got through test screenings. Did it even have test screenings?
Europa Report
2deep4u the real twist is that it's a good film
Europa Report?
i can't stress this enough: you niggas don't even know frustration until you see this fucking movie, i legit got angry
Oh my god, I just remember I actually saw this movie. It was so underwhelming I had completely forgotten about it. I would say it doesn't really qualify because of how mediocre it was even before the ending.
It's hot garbage.
pic related too, but it was more kino than frustrating
I'm sure I'll never watch it so just give me the quick rundown
no, watch them - fuck you
>they pulled the second machine completely out of their ass.
That's the fault of trying to adapt a story that takes place over decades into a film narrative that compresses everything.
In the book the second machine was all the spare parts of the USSR/Soviet Bloc's attempt to build the machine on their own.
I highly recommend the book... just power through Sagan talking about Ellie's sexual awakening in her teens and it's a really solid read.
The thing the movie ignores completely is how the true purpose of The Message was the social, political, and economic reforms it forces on the planet. You can't build The Machine without global cooperation and drastic changes to the status quo. The implication is that it's a puzzle that gives intelligent races at the cusp of their development a chance to survive their own destructive impulses long enough to become part of a galactic community of races that owe their own existence to The Message.
The Ayys that Ellie and friends meet at the end aren't the people who built the transit network or sent out the message, they were contacted just like humanity once was, and by the time they develop the tech to explore the stars they became caretakers of a massive project that is basically trying to reverse entropy so the universe will constantly be in a state where its spawning new life.
They also tell her that there are messages encoded into the fabric of reality itself, the implication being that our universe was built by a group of much older races from a previous iteration of the universe.
The end of the book is Ellie running transcendental numbers through super computers in different bases looking for repeating patterns and in the last page, she finds one.
Breddy good book about how Faith and Science aren't mutually exclusive.
>I still like the movie but found the whole trying to communicate with aliens a thousand times more interesting than the time travel twist
I think that is the entire appeal of the movie really, the time twist crap is just thrown in because they couldnt think of anything interesting for the aliens to say.
like they had cool aliens, interesting interactions, just right amount of tension but the execution fell flat when it finally came down to "what the fuck is the point in talking to a giant squid?"
they couldnt really do "we come in peace" simply because its cliche and has been done and its clear the squids arent aggressive or have any ill intent so what could they possibly have to talk about to lesser beings?
If he had smoked Jamie the film would've been 10/10
Genuinely the most low quality trolling I've seen in months.
The whole movie was cancer user.
I never sympathized with this guy. He's also completely ideologically fucked the whole time. He's exemplifies signs of far left and right thinking in the film.
I turned that shitty movie off like 15 minutes in
>inb4 horseshoe bullshit
the ending made me laugh, not only did they do something absolutely ridiculous and unnecessary they flat out tell us it leads to nothing anyways
>spend entire movie in bunker wondering if the outside really is dangerous or if anything actually happened
>turns out aliens are attacking earth!!
>but it dont matter because we are already winning
like had they not had the girl narrate the last part it would have been better because you would be left wondering what was going to happen. maybe even make a sequel out of it, but nah just state that itll all turn out okay regardless.
Fucktarded nigger
Did you miss the bit where she gets raped by the devil
FUCK YOU THE ARMY COMES UP FROM BEHIND HIM
THAT MEANS THEY HAD TO HAVE DRIVEN PAST AN ENTIRE BATTALION OF MECHANIZED FUCKING INFANTRY ADVANCING IN A SINGLE UNBROKEN LINE WITH MOTHERFUCKING FLAME THROWERS
HOW THE FUCK DID YOU MISS THIS ASSHOLE?
THE BODIES AREN'T EVEN COLD YET WHEN THEY COME UP ON YOU
WHICH MEANS YOU PASSED THEM A MILE AGO!
I love the movie, but that ONE thing has been triggering my autism since the theater.
Thank God /x/ keeps you guys segregated usually
Yeah, but then I found it left me feeling terrible because dying of a fucking stroke or being put in a coma is far more terrifying than any kind of ghost, and everyone has low self esteem and unfinished business so it's relatable.
At least the credit music defused the sheer awfulness of the situation by about 20%. The scenes leading up to the revelation were an absolute shitshow though, atrociously written and directed.
I know you've amassed a giant folder full of basedboy images so I'm happy to give you an excuse to validate your existence
>Genuinely the most low quality trolling I've seen in months.
Yeah. Hard to suspend your disbelief when an evil child suddenly gains the strength to axe murder their parents.
Cmon thats by far the best movie in the serie and the ending just shows how crazy that director is.
Baby Driver. Maybe Baby didn’t deserve to die or go for a long time, but the way it was sequences in such an upbeat fashion kinda invalidates the rest of the movie.
>Thank God /x/ keeps you guys segregated usually
I fucking wish.
And it's not "guys" it's clearly one schizo arguing with himself. Look at the formatting, look at the unique IP's in the thread.
t. /sci/
>missing the point this hard
At the end right when that girl on the radio says that lightning flashes and reveals Theres a fucking massive ship right over the city
sorry girl u know I luv u but I wanna have a family so I will kill you to have a white baby with some white thot because of institutional racism ok
It was a decent heist movie until then.
This is the worst opinion anyone has ever had
no, it means they were going in the wrong direction, as the military was pushing forward, they were pushing forward also and safety was lingering just behind them. It's tragic irony you fuck
Fuck you too and your faggy weaboo picture
that was one of the more bizarre and dreamlike sequences in the film and there's no way of knowing if it really happened until the end where they go nope, it happened. It was witches.
A lot of people dislike the book but I loved it and the ending was much better. It has a dark 'I love big brother' type ending, whereas the movie tried to have an insanely implausible happy ending that completely misses the point of the rest of the story. A couple of random people deciding to be good isn't going to stop companies from ruining the world, and getting one mogul caught up in a scandal of something is meaningless when there's a million more ready to take their place.
not as bad as when your parents became of the opinion that they should have children
I wouldn't say it ruined the entire movie but god damn I fucking hate the last scene from Leon The Professional. It's so corny and unecessary and on top of that the choice of music is just terrible. Should have ended with Mathilda walking the streets with the flower pot and nowhere to plant it instead of the OTT saccharine crap we got
IT (2017)
Really solid first act, decent second act, and once they get to the house for the final confrontation it just goes from bad to worse as each minute passes
Lego Movie
>it was all a kid playing with his toys
Prisoners. That's the only movie I can think off were my rating legitimately dropped from like a 9 all the way down to a 5 because the ending was so shit
I liked that ending.
NPC cuck who threw a tantrum when he realized it
I actually enjoyed the ending quite a bit, because they actually survive
