Although it's not a movie, I didn't like the ending to this season of Entourage. It seemed too cheery "live happily ever after" to me , didn't really fit the other episodes.

Dreamcatcher: Tacked-on rubbish studio ending that made utterly no sense in the context of the story. It's like something Jon Peters would suggest (though no, there wasn't a giant **** spider).

Titanic: I mean, really? The boat sank? Way too predictable. Like you didn't see that coming.

True Grit: It seemed to me like they were making an awesome movie and someone realized "oh crap, we need to wrap this up real quick." The ending just seemed like there was no thought or effort put into it and I was really disappointed.

The inevitability of the ship sinking is one of the good parts of the movie and sets it apart from most others.

The Blind Side.

They wrapped up everything way too quickly with the whole NCAA investigation thing. Meet with the investigator twice and life is all bubble gum and lollipops? I think not.

Got caught up watching "Open Water 2 - Adrift" one late night. Watched the whole thing and the ending was awful. It contradicted itself and left no answers to what the actual outcome was.

From wiki:

Spoiler:
Instead of going up the ladder, Dan, racked by guilt, decides to swim off and let himself drown. Earlier, he had been screaming "it should have been me". Amy later sees him drowning slowly, throws in a life ring and then jumps in to save him, all the while vividly recalling her childhood inability to save her father from drowning. The scene ends inconclusively with a shot of Amy's father lying dead on the seabed, followed by a whiteout.

The penultimate scene takes place at an unspecified time, on a clear calm day. A fishing boat approaches the yacht, seeing the lowered ladder and life ring still floating in the water - no one had pulled them in. The yacht appears empty except for the sound of baby Sarah crying on the lower deck.

In the final scene, on the upper deck, in slow motion, a quiet Amy stands looking around; she looks at Dan, who is lying facedown on the deck. While the ending caused some confusion among viewers, the film's director has indicated that five out of the six adults die, and Lauren just drifted to an unknown island.


The last two scenes seem to happen independently of each other and completely contradict. I was so mad that I got no closure after investing the time to watch this movie.

Legion did not have an ending Lenas, it ended right after the chick gave the intro.
