People Are Sharing What Movie Endings Were So Bad, They Ruined The Entire Film (30 Pics) Lucy. I hate that movie.

It's a really good concept and movie until the very. It tells the story about a girl that is kidnapped and used as a drug mule for this new drug, but the bag inside her leaks and she gets overdosed. This doesn't kill her though, she's now able to use more than 10% of her brain (which I know is complete bullsh*t cuz we use 100% of our brain but not at the same time) and gets superpowers. Then for some reason she needs to take more of the drug to reach complete usage of her brain and, when she does, she becomes a flash drive. A FLASH DRIVE. SHE BECOMES A FLASH DRIVE

"At the risk of mixing metaphors, good writing places the variables in view and requires the audience to do the math in order to reach full understanding," Murano said.

"When it comes to endings, specifically, I think a lot of writers give into the urge to say too much and do the math for the audience. There's no fun in that—and it's especially disappointing to see it happen when the rest has been well executed," the writer and editor explained to Bored Panda that when writers trust that their audience will be able to put some things together themselves, instead of having everything handed to them on a silver platter.

The ending of any creative project, whether it’s a movie, a book, or a play, is important because it sets the mood with which the audience goes back into their daily lives. End the movie with the fabled Hollywood happy ending and your audience will feel picked up. (Though according to some researchers, there are various types of happy endings in films and we can’t just mix them up into one single blob.)

Meanwhile, ending the film on a sad or depressing note will leave your audience feeling deflated. Surprise surprise! And, well, from a business perspective, that’s not what you really want, is it?

You want your viewers to keep coming back for round two of the silver screen (Netflix during the pandemic, but you know what I mean), instead of wistfully looking out the window, thinking philosophical thoughts.

The PR angle for a superhero movie was interesting and unique. But then all of that is ruined by the lovers twist. I'm fine with either the superhero PR angle or the tragic lovers angle, but they're way too different and the latter is introduced too suddenly. Hancock really feels like two separate movies stitched together

So there’s a certain amount of pressure that moviemakers feel to make audiences feel happy. Of course, this doesn’t happen in every single case (the viral Reddit thread alone proves that), however, some films really do feel as though they’ve had happy endings shoehorned in, no matter that the tone of the project was very different, to begin with.

At the end of the day, what viewers really want (besides a bucketful of popcorn nom nom) is to be entertained. And one of the ways this can be achieved is by making the story immersive. If the viewer forgets they’re watching a film and feels like they’re inside the story and that it’s real, you’ve got them: hook, line, and sinker.

However, immersion means believability. And believability means consistency. Or rather, a certain amount of consistency in the plot. The audience has to believe that the inner workings of the story and the world make sense. There must be a logical consistency to how all the pieces interconnect.

Mmm... “People partner up in order of attractiveness” is maybe one way to put it, but another way is that people who wouldn’t have ordinarily given each other a chance ended up doing that. The jock was attracted to the weird girl and the prom queen and the burnout were attracted to each other. I get your point that attractiveness isn’t really an indicator of growth, but I don’t think it’s an inconsistent ending.

And that respect for the inner logic of the story applies to all films. Yes, even fantasy and sci-fi films! For example, you can’t be adding dragons willy-nilly to a story where dragons have been extinct for thousands of years or one where there are giant flying whales instead. You also wouldn’t add someone who speaks in a modern dialect, unless it’s a comedy or you’re doing it on purpose for whatever other reason.

So if an ending doesn’t match the tone or the inner logic of a story, the audience will notice and (odds are) won’t like it very much. There’s a bond of mutual respect between the audience and filmmakers that gets cut if the latter don’t abide by the laws of the story they’ve created. Or, in other words, it’s simply not polite to invite others into a world you’ve created only to pull the rug from under their feet (unless it’s a slapstick comedy or the twist is really, _really_ gosh darn good).

Yeah I liked the premise of the movie but the way the plot works is really upsetting. He steals her life, lies to her and forces her to live the rest of her life alone in a ship with her captor.

Yes, a despicable motivation for sure, but they would have all died otherwise. This can make even a bad deed a "thank God" event. She hated him when she found out what he did, but, knowing that they would all have been killed if he hadn't - no one would be able to not forgive him for that. And, being that he was not otherwise a creep or a cad, he was, after all, the only choice for a relationship, so it would have been inevitable. Living alone until one dies on a 90 year remaining trip would have made anyone go crazy. There was no alternative.

If for some reason you’ve accidentally spoiled an ending to a movie that you really wanted to watch, there’s really no reason to get upset. At least, according to psychology professor Nicholas Christenfeld, whose research has shown that spoilers don’t ruin a story. Rather, they make you enjoy it even more.

“What we found, remarkably, was if you spoil stories they actually enjoy them more,” Christenfeld said, who repeated his experiment with mystery stories, ironic twist stories, and literary fiction. “Across all three genres, spoilers actually were enhancers. The term is wrong.”

Eli

Some horror movie I saw on Netflix about some sick boy whose family spends a ton of money to get him to some special doctor. The catch is the operation takes days to complete so the whole family has to live in a big house with the doctor for a bit. So as the movie progresses Eli actually starts to get more sick and he believes the doctor is actually killing all the kids she’s supposedly helping. He learns through a girl he talks with outside the house that the last kid didn’t make it and looked about as bad as he did at the time. Sounds pretty cool right?

Turns out Eli is the son of the devil, and the girl is his sister. He ends up awakening his evil spirit and killing everyone except his mom and new sister. Kid walks out of the whole thing with demonic super powers and a “I’m a total badass” look on his face. Just [ruined] the whole movie for me.

At work, I'm a Senior Writer and I cover a broad range of topics that I'm passionate about: from psychology and changes in work culture to healthy living, relationships, and design. In my spare time, I'm an avid hiker and reader, enjoy writing short stories, and love to doodle. I thrive when I'm outdoors, going on small adventures in nature. However, you can also find me enjoying a big mug of coffee with a good book (or ten) and entertaining friends with fantasy tabletop games and sci-fi movies.

Inferno. In the book the ending was the most relevant part of the entire story. But in the movie, they decided to turn that ending 180 degrees around. As a result, the whole point of the story was lost, and the movie became just a mediocre action movie. Dan Brown (the author) himself was not pleased either.

I think bad endings were even more common in the so-called "golden age". A 1945 version of Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None" has a ridiculous happy ending in which two of the characters turn out to be not who the murderer thought they were. Not at all how the book ended.

Sommersby. A remake of Le Retour de Martin Guerre. Some time after the secession war the missing, presumed dead husband of a lady farmer comes home and reclaims his position as husband, landlord, friend, fellow villager - but the wife never believes he is who he says he is. He is changed beyond recognition, both physically and character - wise. But, of course, he and she make up and bliss ensues. Everybody likes him now, where before he was awful, he is now nice. People want his story to be true. Then the marshals come and he is charged with some murder. Here’s the kicker: the wife absolutely KNOWS he isn’t her husband, if he’d admit to that, he’d walk scotch free. BUT HE REFUSES. The film has the most intense finale ever, where she tries to get to the front of the crowd to be close to him and he stands under the gallow, shakin, crying, sweating, searching for her with his eyes, frantic, because they’re just about to hood him before execution; she arrives, you think, yessss!

The Rise of Skywalker. Ended terribly, acted as a terrible ending for the sequels. Finn’s secret was pointless, the Force went from an omnipresent energy to a mythical power that turned Rey into a god, and what was supposed to be Kylo’s dramatic death scene made my entire theater start laughing both times I saw it. Plus that stupid stunt they pulled with Chewie. The whole thing was just relentless fan pleasing.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Finn's secret is that he's force sensitive.

I almost screamed because of how random and forced it was. Like why does Rey need to be in love with every guy she meets??

Movies like "Bliss" or "I'm Thinking of Ending Things". I'm sure that this type of movie works for lots of people, but I hate it. They set up all these mysteries and it just seems like they're too lazy to answer them. If I knew ahead of time that any given movie was going to do this, I could avoid it. I don't care that they exist, only that I wasted my time. Because of course you never know until the end, and by then I've invested a bunch of time and I have to try to Google to find out what was really going on, and sometimes there's an answer but it's just really high-brow, and sometimes there's no answer and you're supposed to decide for yourself.

I would also add Black Panther to the list of movies with bad endings. Whoever wrote the film forgot that BB and Wikanda are not real places and tried to get the made up country to answer for not helping out black people when Africa was being colonised and for doing nothing to stop real world racism over the years, this was the motivation for the bad guy in the film while the good just wanted to be king because his dad was.

I don't know. High concept movies are what most people want and when any other film strays from that formula, you get a lot of complaining. So many times viewers miss the entire point, or hate it because it did not go how they wanted. If they do not like it, they deem it s**t. Why not just point out what you did not like, instead of proclaiming it the worst of all time, when clearly others feel otherwise. Some movies with the best writers, DP's, directors, producers cast and crew put out great work and people do not realize how their skill has made such a great piece of cinema look easy, they find it simple or stupid. I once watched a remarkable film "Adaptation" in theaters, and while exiting I heard a person say "I could have made that"...they had no idea how poignant the film was or were even aware of the main thrust. It seems if it is not spoon fed and formulaic, or surface..then it is dumb.

I admire filmmakers who do not insult viewers intelligence with over explaining or making obvious the idea of their work...I like they trust us to discover. I love Freddie Kruger movies because they are fun. I love deeper movies, indy films like "Jesus of Montreal" because they make me think. If I don't "get" a movie, I love deliberating and ruminating on it, at all angles, trying to discover the filmmakers visions. The one thing I know is movies are made to entertain us...shitting on all the hard work they do because you feel you are smarter or above it, well maybe you are just not a movie fan.

Despite not a movie - Has anyone already mentioned the final of Dexter? I cannot even imagine they could undo the damage done with a new season.

What were they thinking when they came up with the idea for the ending of Dexter?

The time travellers wife. Hated the ending and won't watch it again. I also hated that Mamma Mia didn't reveal who the actual father is.

Please read the book, if you haven't already. Hate the movie, but I have read the book about 3 times, it's really well-written and a very beautiful and intriguing story.

Yeah, I really was disappointed in this ending. Left feeling that it ruined a great movie with how they finished it.

I definitely had a WTF moment when I saw the old And Then There None. The 2015 version is great.

It, he’ll recant, he’ll be saved, everything will be alright, this is an American remake, surely, they’ll have a big ol Happy End!?! Then they hang him. I was DEVASTATED.

Dark City. Beautiful, dystopian movie ruined by a cheesy happy ending. Also, Silent Hill. "They were dead the whole time." Contrived and annoying.

Dark City is definitely underappreciated. I love Rufus Sewell, but Jennifer Connelly seemed like she was heavily sedated or half asleep the whole movie. I didn't mind the ending though.

I absolutely loved that movie. It most definitely is a fairy tale. Just a more traditional one. All of the original fairy tales were quite dark.

I love this film, it's ending was perfect. It stuck with me long after the film finished.

I went in knowing the director would *not* give me any fairy tale, so that was okay, but if unawrae? EEK.

When I dislike the end of a movie or book, I just change the story in my head. Actually took a pencil to cross out sections of Harry Potter. “Nah, that didn’t happen.”

It just goes to show you that 99.9% of the time the book is better than the film.

Oh! And the last movie of The Hobbit. Did they forget the movie is called THE HOBBIT and not The Dwarf's Fight?

Some of the complaints where about the plot of the original source material.... I mean I guess that still counts but shrug

This is probably gonna be controversial but... The Tourist could actually have been a good screwball comedy. Until the supremely stupid twist.

I watched an M. Night Shyamalan film that I can't remember the name of but about 5 minutes before the climax the power in the theatre went out and I left without knowing (or caring) how it ended.

I would go with Lucky Number Slevin, a great witty movie about a guy that is consistently in the wrong place at the wrong time until the ending tries to get too clever for it self.

AI- Spielberg's forced happy ending mantra killed what I felt was a great, insightful film. He should left David staring at the blue fairy until his battery died.

I don't see it as a forced happy ending, but as an examination of responsibility, attachment, and of what is or is not human.

Butterfly effect - theatrical cut. I saw the director's cut first and it was so f.. up - I loved it. Then, one day, I saw the theatrical cut on tv...

In fairness, it was already three movies long. If I had to lose anything, that and Tom Bombadil are acceptable losses.
