Can we do TV shows?

How I Met You Mother: We finally meet Ted's wife and she's a charming musician that gels naturally with the whole group. They're a perfect match and the series ends with Robin and Barney getting married. Then they rush through his wife getting sick with a mystery illness, dies and then Ted is encouraged by his kids to go seduce "aunt" Robin now that their mom has been dead for a couple years.
He steals a symbol of love from their first date and goes to her apartment. They are supposed to be in their 50s and he's in semi old man makeup, she still looks 30. They have nothing in common. He's all about having kids and a family home and she is a career woman who can't have kids and doesn't want any. The only reason it kinda works is because he has his kids already and his wife is dead so now they can have a bunch of old people sex??

If they ended it one episode earlier, I would have no real issues.

The ending to The Room was a let down. I guess Wiseau can't even do a suicide scene right.

My Grandmother used to always say "well that didn't end right," whenever a movie or tv show would end on a cliffhanger or such. It was always infuriating, but then she ended up with dementia, so she'd probably think her life didn't end right either. If she could think much of anything, that is.

Broken Flowers

The whole movie is Bill Murray trying to figure out who his son is, he scares away a guy who may be his son or might just be some guy. Then his real life son leers at him out car window as he drives by. Then the film ends.



Return of the King

I never actually saw the ending. I really had to pee and gave up after possibly the fifth not-quite-ending scene.

I don't know if it counts as ending cause it starts getting off track about half way.

But Hancock. Funny idea. Guy has super powers but he's kind of a gently caress up. Then the ad guy's wife turns out to be another super powers person and they're aliens who are married but can't be near each other or something and he saves her running out of the hospital.

I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

War with Jet Li and Jason Statham.

The movie ends so abruptly you'd think they'd forgotten to film the ending when shooting had half an hour to wrap up and GTFO so you get Statham suddenly makes a noble sacrifice or something and gets shot dead and Jet Li fucks off like he didn't even notice. The movie as a whole had terrible pacing issues and some really badly filmed stunts. I was expecting a lot from a movie with two great action stars. I can watch bad movies and come away feeling like I could at least sympathize with the people who made it but War made me mad it was such dogshit.

Yeah Hancock started with a cool premise and then had no idea what to do with itself for the back half of its running time.

Also, what the gently caress is up with Reinhardt's "descent into hell"? This is loving Disney movie. Stop trying to be Kubrick.

There is no actual ending. They just keep saying goodbye to various minor characters until everyone leaves the theater.

This is what happens when you don't have constraints other than the source material and the source material is a million pages. On the other hand the hobbit was trash as well so I wonder if maybe it's just Peter Jackson who is bad if not given severe limitations.

Welcome back spaceman Matthew. You lived for some reason. Now turn right back around and go back to Earth 2 but you don't tell anyone for some reason? I don't know this movie has been going on for way too long already so just roll with it.

They weren't going to let him go, I don't remember why because at that point I had really lost interest.

The ending should have been that Matthew hallucinated the ending in his last fevered moments before crashing into the black hole. Then you see the last remnants of humanity starve to death. Anne Hathaway's hyperbaric chamber shorts out, and only the rad robots are alive and they're like whelp

I felt like that the first couple of times I watched the film.
After the third time, I wonder if they could have made a different movie, based on that ending and having a different beginning to match.

Like they had a great movie A, but couldn't come up with an ending and a great, similar, movie B that they couldn't write the beginning to, so they cut and pasted them together into something that doesn't work.

Star Wars Episode 3 Revenge of the Sith. I don't understand how this isn't always on the top of the list when this topic comes up. In my opinion, it had two underwhelming endings, even by my rather low expectations, that couldn't possibly have satisfied anyone in any way. It's over Anakin, I have the high ground and NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. It's :( bad.

Because the rest of the movie is as bum gently caress retarded and terrible as the ending was.

The end of King Kong has the monkey get shot by planes, stare deeply into the woman's eyes like he is going to die, only to drag itself up to get shot by planes again. Then that sequence repeats. Over and over again, a dozen or more times. Like a record skipping. Adding a full 20+ minutes of monkey to woman deep eye contact to an already over long film.
