20 Films Which Had Endings So Bad It Ruined The Whole Movie

Some movies are good, while others are bad. Sometimes, though, the film itself is fine, except the ending is so incredibly bad that it ruins the whole experience for you.

Whether you hate "happily ever afters" or despise unfinished plots, there is no denying that the last moments of a film will define whether you love or hate it. Because, honestly, if the ending sucks, you aren't going to watch it again.

Mine is "Remember Me," the Robert Pattinson film with the most random ending (seriously, no spoilers, but my jaw hit the floor). Leave your favorite or least favorite "worst film ending" in the comments below.

Why?

PersephoneXXX1209:

"The Devil Inside was a basic horror film where everyone dies, but it suddenly ends after a car crash, and a title card appears listing a website for more info. Then the movie just ends. Seriously, one of the worst endings imaginable."

Not the Disney one

-valt026-:

"Frozen. And I don’t mean the Disney movie. I mean the one about the skiers stuck on the ski lift."

Probably why you should always read the book first

plsgivemethetea:

"When I was maybe 8, my aunt took me to see The Boy in the Striped Pajamas in theaters, not realizing at all what it would be about. She didn't read the book, so to her, it seemed like a heartwarming story about companionship between two boys, and she thought the fact that it was PG-13 would be okay. Most of the movie was fine; I didn't know what the Holocaust was, but I kind of got the drift. It wasn't until they got into the gas chamber at the end that my child self started bawling because I knew they probably died. It was the first non-happy ending I ever saw, and it took me a little while to reconcile what had happened and the fact that some events are just cruel."

Even the author agrees

milutin_miki:

"Percy Jackson. Any of them. Honestly, they're completely bad.""I'd rather pull out all of my teeth than watch that movie" - Rick Riordan, author of PJ"

I haven't been the same since I saw this movie

TheGeofoam:

"Bridge to TerabithiaThought it was going to be a fantasy film, then discovered it was just their imaginations. Then the ending happened.I heard parents were upset because they took their kids to see a lighthearted movie."

Well, that sucks

that_electric_guy:

"That Wolverine movie where they cut his claws off at the end. Or that Wolverine movie where they have a poorly done, no-mouth Deadpool at the end."

Fuming for days

wocytt:

"The Dark Phoenix. I was so excited about the story, and then the end... What stupid stuff is that?? I was literally fuming about that ending for days. Full disclosure: I have not read the comic, so I suppose it’s my fault."

AND DIDN'T USE IT TO FIX HIS WAND

onemaysay:

"Deathly Hallows Part 2. He really broke the Elder Wand in half and got away with it."

Miss me with that

Megasdoux:

"Law Abiding CitizenIt was a solid movie, but it fell flat when Jamie Foxx's character still won, despite the whole movie showing that he was part of the corrupt system. I recall reading that the original ending was supposed to have Foxx arrested, but he changed it and got an ending that made it seem like being part of the corrupt system is okay."

Nope

BlackDragonofDoom:

"Lucy. Ugh, my family and I were so pissed off by that movie. Scarlett Johansson gets awesome superpowers after being made a drug mule by the same people who violently murdered her boyfriend. She gets revenge, helps some scientists, is about to hook up with a hot cop, and then turns into organic computer data on a flash drive. Awesome action sequences and concepts throughout this movie, and it ends like:Cop: *storms into room* "Where is she? Where is Lucy?"*text message on his crappy phone* "Everywhere."Cut to black."

Yup

thewhaz:

"Any movie that ends with ‘It was all a dream.’ It’s a cop-out."

No resolution.

The_Dapper_Rabbit:

"It wasn't a BAD ending, but it was way too sudden. Karate Kid. It went like this:Okay, they're fighting... BANG! Daniel kicks the other guy in the nose. Everyone cheers and surrounds him. The old Japanese man nods approvingly. Aaaaand it's done. That's it. Credits. No resolution whatsoever."

Sequels that ruin the first one are so annoying

big_fella672:

"Ralph Breaks the Internet. It totally disregards the message of the first. Forget that movie."

Disney movies are not safe

Datapower:

"When I was little, my mother sent my brothers and me to a 'Disney movie.' Safe choice, right?All three of us were bawling our eyes out when she picked us up afterward. The movie was Old Yeller."

This whole movie was bad

terific-toph-fan32:

"The Last Airbender. That movie deserves to be captured by Azula."

Lil weird

BeaversAndButtholes:

"Titanic.Rose spends four days on a boat with a guy when she was 16. She spends the next 80 or so years living a full life with a man she loved, married, had children with, explored the world with, etc.But when she dies, her last thought (in the afterlife) is with a teenager she had a three-day fling with when she was a child, with not a thought spent on the people she spent her life with.Forget you, Rose. Forget you very much."

Magic

PianoManGidley:

"Now You See Me.This movie combined two of my guilty pleasures: magic tricks and heist films, so I REALLY wanted to like this movie. But the 'twist' at the end was SO INFURIATINGLY STUPID that it made me hate the entire movie." 

So close to being fantastic

acowsaysmoo:

"A Simple Favor.Great beginning, great middle, rushed ending."

That's so boring

NE_Golf:

"IT 2 - I thought the movie wasn’t good at all, but I watched it with the family. Way too long, poor story, but then after losing their battle against this monster that can grow to tremendous size and power, they are able to outsmart IT and destroy it by yelling at it to 'make it feel small.' What a terrible ending. Three hours I’ll never get back."

No dog movies

pinkcandy828:

"Marley and Me. My mom took me, my sister, and our friends to see the movie, thinking it was a comedy. It wasn't a comedy.By the time the end came, we were all bawling. I don't watch dog movies anymore."
