Top 24 Worst Endings
Endings that don't fit, are stupid or just don't complete the movie enough.
Some of these movies I really liked until the end.
WARNING: When I tell reason why I did not like the ending, there will be spoilers!!!
And once again: If you like the ending, fine by me. But don't start to cry to me if I don't like it.
One per franchise
Dishonorable Mentions:
Dark Knight Rises (mostly the way how Bane is defeated)
Lucy
Matchstick Men
Resident Evil: Afterlife
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

24 titles
- DirectorDominic SenaStarsJohn TravoltaHugh JackmanHalle BerryA covert counter-terrorist unit called Black Cell led by Gabriel Shear wants the money to help finance their war against international terrorism, but it's all locked away. Gabriel brings in convicted hacker Stanley Jobson to help him.Pretty much the whole movie sucked.
I did not like the character of Travolta and I did like the character of Jackman. - DirectorChristopher NolanStarsChristian BaleHugh JackmanScarlett JohanssonAfter a tragic accident, two stage magicians in 1890s London engage in a battle to create the ultimate illusion while sacrificing everything they have to outwit each other.Jackman's characters died.
Bale's character survived (kind of...) - DirectorMichael HanekeStarsNaomi WattsTim RothMichael PittTwo psychopathic young men take a family hostage in their cabin.Really stupid way to end the movie, when it loses the reality factor.
- DirectorClint EastwoodStarsSean PennTim RobbinsKevin BaconThe tragic murder of a 19-year-old girl reunites three childhood friends still living in Boston--the victim's gangster father, a detective, and the disturbed man they both suspect of killing her.I just did not ended so well. Jimmy Markum was not cool, dreadning or good character. Because he did survive and was lifted so high. That was not good for the theme of the movie.
I am not so sorry because of the death of Dave. - DirectorPhilip G. AtwellStarsJet LiJason StathamNadine VelazquezAn FBI Agent seeks vengeance on a mysterious assassin known as "Rogue" who murdered his partner.Jet Li suck.
Statham rules.
You get the point.
Movie was major disapointment. - DirectorGuy RitchieStarsJason StathamRay LiottaAndré 3000Gambler Jake Green enters into a game with potentially deadly consequences.It just wont work
- DirectorRoman PolanskiStarsEwan McGregorPierce BrosnanOlivia WilliamsA ghost writer, hired to complete the memoirs of a former British Prime Minister, uncovers secrets that put his own life in jeopardy.It is typical Polanski ending and it sucked. I really don't know why it ended that way. I really liked the main character.
- DirectorMiguel SapochnikStarsJude LawForest WhitakerAlice BragaSet in the near future when artificial organs can be bought on credit, it revolves around a man who struggles to make the payments on a heart he has purchased. He must therefore go on the run before said ticker is repossessed.That is bad. It took so much time back and erased so much. But I really did not care about the characters. The ending was just, weird.
- DirectorBrian De PalmaStarsAl PacinoSean PennPenelope Ann MillerA Puerto Rican former convict, just released from prison, pledges to stay away from drugs and violence despite the pressure around him and lead on to a better life outside of N.Y.C.Carlito down and by loser like Benny Blanco. It is not that Carlito died, it was how.
- DirectorNeil LaButeStarsNicolas CageEllen BurstynLeelee SobieskiA sheriff investigating the disappearance of a young girl from a small island discovers there's a larger mystery to solve among the island's secretive, neo-pagan community.Because I don't really like Nicolas Cages roles, it would think that I like this ending because of that. But it is how he died, I really did not care about the character. The whole idea of the ending just, suck.
- DirectorEthan CoenJoel CoenStarsTommy Lee JonesJavier BardemJosh BrolinViolence and mayhem ensue after a hunter stumbles upon the aftermath of a drug deal gone wrong and over two million dollars in cash near the Rio Grande.That does not make any sense, somehow it just don't end. When it comes to Ed Tom Bell.
And Siguire (or something) is one of the most stupid and just failed badguys, he should die (and Tony Montana live).
My opinion, if you liked, good for you, but I did not. - DirectorPaul Thomas AndersonStarsDaniel Day-LewisPaul DanoCiarán HindsA story of family, religion, hatred, oil and madness, focusing on a turn-of-the-century prospector in the early days of the business.Somehow I did not really care about any of the characters and Daniel Day Lewis did not shine on this role (why oscar, I don't understand, just like Sean Penn in Mystic River, why)
I could say it this way: Reason why I don't like the ending is reversal to reason why I don't like ending of Scarface. - DirectorJoel SchumacherStarsJim CarreyVirginia MadsenLogan LermanWalter Sparrow becomes obsessed with a novel that he believes was written about him, as more and more similarities between himself and his literary alter ego seem to arise.Whole movie is just weird.
I kind a hoped that Carreys character would die. - DirectorBen StillerStarsJim CarreyMatthew BroderickLeslie MannA designer makes a grievious mistake when he rejects the friendship of a borderline cable guy.Pretty much the same reason than previous.
- DirectorMartin ScorseseStarsLeonardo DiCaprioMatt DamonJack NicholsonAn undercover cop and a mole in the police attempt to identify each other while infiltrating an Irish gang in South Boston.I hate that the Marky Marks character survived, if he also would have died, this movie would not be on this list.
- DirectorLasse HallströmStarsJohnny DeppLeonardo DiCaprioJuliette LewisA young man in a small Midwestern town struggles to care for his mentally-disabled younger brother and morbidly obese mother while attempting to pursue his own happiness.Several little things are missing.
- DirectorStanley KubrickStarsMalcolm McDowellPatrick MageeMichael BatesIn the future, a sadistic gang leader is imprisoned and volunteers for a conduct-aversion experiment, but it doesn't go as planned.Why did not Alex die. I don't really even like this movie and I hate that idiot.
- DirectorOliver StoneStarsShia LaBeoufMichael DouglasCarey MulliganNow out of prison but still disgraced by his peers, Gordon Gekko works his future son-in-law, an idealistic stock broker, when he sees an opportunity to take down a Wall Street enemy and rebuild his empire.This sucks in so many levels.
- DirectorWolfgang PetersenStarsBrad PittEric BanaOrlando BloomAn adaptation of Homer's great epic, the film follows the assault on Troy by the united Greek forces and chronicles the fates of the men involved.That is not how it was in history.
Paris did not die. He should have been dead. - DirectorAlbert HughesAllen HughesStarsJohnny DeppHeather GrahamIan HolmAfter five ritualistic murders are committed in 1888 London, Inspector Abberline's assignment is to investigate the "Jack the Ripper" murders. Along with a string of mutilated prostitutes, he uncovers a conspiracy involving the government.Abberline died.
I did not like the man behind the legend. - DirectorGore VerbinskiStarsJohnny DeppOrlando BloomKeira KnightleyJack Sparrow races to recover the heart of Davy Jones to avoid enslaving his soul to Jones' service, as other friends and foes seek the heart for their own agenda as well.I do not like cliffhanger endings like this. Barbossa part is more than good, but at the end, endings is not.
On Stranger Tides is pretty close to make to this list, but it is not that bad, since the post credit endings is the bad part in it (But those don't count) - DirectorChristopher NolanStarsAl PacinoRobin WilliamsHilary SwankTwo Los Angeles homicide detectives are dispatched to a northern town where the sun doesn't set to investigate the methodical murder of a local teen.Dormer died. Part of me still says that ending was good. But Nolan sucks on endings like Polanski.
- DirectorRoger DonaldsonStarsAl PacinoColin FarrellBridget MoynahanA brilliant young CIA trainee is asked by his mentor to help find a mole in the Agency.Take a wild quess why?
- DirectorJon AvnetStarsRobert De NiroAl PacinoCarla GuginoTwo veteran New York City detectives work on a case of serial executions of criminals who escaped justice.You get the point.
