Gone girl was great! Maybe some people expected a happy ending which would have pissed me off. Love Rosamund Pike. Such a dedicated actress

My husband and brother gave me some serious side eye because I outwardly enjoyed the ending. As twisted as Amy was I couldn't help but root for her.

I didn't expect a happy ending from Gone Girl, I just thought the last half hour was unnecessary. It could've ended in that scene where she returns to her husband in that dramatic entrance, covered in blood, among the reporters; it would've conveyed the same message. Everything after that just felt dragged out.

Exactly! But all of these "10 movies that ________ " lists are subjective. You know that there are people out there who hate things that are absolutely brilliant to someone else. Crazy old world.

The video didn't say Audience hated it, it simply says it pissed some off - a few times it said it was an excellent ending. Seems like most people made the distinction themselves.

The ending of _Eraser Head_ left me wondering what the heck I just watched.

@@dreamEternal Some of it was framed as if it pissed off audiences by being bad. This would imply audiences hated it.

The ending to the series, Star Trek Enterprise pissed me off! It was stupid and way out in left field. What a Fraking ridiculous move. Then again, Firefly didn't really get an ending!

People should learn that they don't always get a happy ending. Especialy when a happy ending makes no sence.

subversion does not equals brilliance, Inception sure, but in the Star Wars sequels for example is a complete disaster and it derails the entire trilogy

@@rodangrahf well I didn't say they were all brilliant. Just some of them.

@Valkyrie's Shield and that wasn't even the worst of it.

@@rodangrahf Agreed, look at M Night Mistake he makes a lot of subversions that just end up shit. Mist was 100% brilliant with that ending a B movie with an S tier end that brings it to a B+. American Virgin was just meh? and the end was just sad and not satisfying it was okay story wise and the kid probably grew up with some fucking standards after that, but yeah.

It was so predictable though.

@@jeremymissens7608 how? How was him killing them predictable?

@@jeremymissens7608 yes, and after many years, I read a theory about the final scene. Remember the crazy religious madam? She said that only with a sacrifice everything would return to normal (more less words🤷🏻‍♂️). So, after the protagonist shot his son, everything went to normal. That sole idea blew up my mind and made the final scene more shocking to me. 🤔😳😱

I just remember laughing with my friend saying, wouldn't it be funny if after he mercy kills everyone in the car he gets rescued. I called it only moments before it happened so maybe predictable wasn't the best choice of words.

King's Mist ends diferently? That ending is so King, that I was sure it's from the book.

I'd estimate about as many likes as your comment gets from this point on

Besides that only 1 person of 100000 pissed the ending off Everyone else liked the ending Hell it's one of the best if not even the best ending in movie history Even Stephen king said he loves the ending more than his books ending And he mostly dislikes endings who are different from his books

It’s rivaled only by the dark knight !

You want to know how many times? the answer is "Every"

WhatCulture should do a list of the movies/series/ games they constantly add to lists repeatedly

Sometimes the sad and depressing endings are the happy endings imo. Meaning I wouldn't want it any other way and despite being sad myself, I find some sort of happiness in the satisfaction of the ending being really great.

The shock made the movie for me.

I loved The Mist and the ending, totally shocking and that makes for good cinema.

Quiet Alias you are 💯. The original Descent ending is the only ending and it makes the movie. Same with The Mist. Thomas Jane (the actor) nails it, and the ending solidifies the point of the movie.

IMO a happy ending negates the rest of any horror film. You should always walk away feeling disturbed somehow or without closure, otherwise it's a drama

Right? I love it, but I can't rewatch it. It's too bleak. Kinda like The Lovely Bones. Tons of people adored that film, they just don't want to experience it again.

I feel the same.Only watched it once

Yeah. To be fair, I feel like it wouldn’t have the same impact on a second viewing. I mean, when you see it the first time, you have hope it will all work out. Seeing it again means you go in knowing the fates of all the characters and that just doesn’t feel as powerful.

Well said, I even gave away my DVD as had no interest to go through those emotions again.

I don't think that's right. He was watching the kids in the United States but teaching over seas? And he's wearing the same clothes in every scene. Also the kids are wearing the same clothes and were doing the exact same thing over and over to include the end. I think he just finally decided that the dream was better than the reality.

@@michaelsangster2354 for me it was more of a Leo's character saying Fkt it! When he saw his children he just didn't care anymore if it was real or not he just wanted to be with them.

But...in dreams Cob never sees the faces of his children. They run off without ever looking at him. At the end he DOES see their faces and he is happy, so what difference does it make if he is dreaming or not? Reality is perceptual anyways, so if Cob chooses this ending as reality, it is reality for him.

@@yugmi you remember he could have seen his kids faces any time he wanted to but he decided not to look at them. He was always turning away. Someone told me once that he never made it back from the last inception. He never made it out of limbo.

What the director told him and what the director actually meant to be the case in the movie's world are two different things.

I'd probably kill myself if I were him.

The women in the market said he needed to be sacrificed. He was sacrificed and it ended the mist

Hell yes. 100% agree. Couldn't have gone better👍🏽

Honestly it felt like he couldn't commit. It didn't feel deep and masterful it felt like he couldn't decide how to end the movie and so set up a situation where we pick the ending we like and then he gets called brilliant when we're the ones writing the ending. To me it's like saying the store clerk is an AMAZING BAKER because I turned the ingredients they sold me into delicious cookies.

@@MrJackfaire, I don’t see it that way. They went full circle. It was quite intentional.

@@PutingPinoy that guy shitposts everywhere on this video, dont mind him.

Hell, I straight up said to my friends about halfway through the movie, "This is going to have a twist ending."

This movie is now on my “want to watch” list.

How long do you need to watch a spinning top not fall to determine it isn't going to fall?

Not to mention, I read a theory that his totem is actually his wedding ring, not the top. Apparently, he wears his wedding ring the dream world.

PERIOD.

It was before that moment, it was that mess before hand that pissed me off, I just cannot bring myself to watch that trashfire!

LOL!

yeah, the last 7 hours of the Skywalker Saga pissed me off.

@@tayloriginals999 Summed up perfectly

One and done for me on that one, saw it premiere night and was grunting from beginning to end. While leaving the theater I overhead one of the guests say “well that’s was pretty much garbage.”

Absolutely!

Yesss

Not just the wrong ending... the entire premise was flipped.

Yah

This. Loved the alternate ending.

I was furious, depressing ending rather than bittersweet yet hopeful.

They always screw up Jodie Picoult’s books.

The opening crawl's first three words had me angry because they are so bloody corny!

the sequel trilogy had me pissed off before the first scene of Rise of Skywalker!

I remember just the announcements of what they were doing with the film during production were already making me angry.

I didn't even see the movie and I know the one thing that happened in it, which is that nothing much happened except Rey stole Luke's identity.

I know I'm gna get load of hate, watched originals when I was a kid, watched prequels in cinema as young teen, watched new trilogy as an adult. I enjoyed the new movies. They aren't perfect by any means, and I'm not going to go out of my way to watch them again, but felt got moneys worth in cinema. If asked, would probably watch 789 before 456, probably partially on acting and effects Tbf

The bad guy definitely got away in that movie. Nick was the most culpable character in allowing the original killer to get away.

Here's a double whammy...Marcia Grey Harden's character suggested a blood sacrifice of the children back in the supermarket. Like Abraham and his son Issac.....what happens just after Thomas Jane sacrifices his son ?

Yep

I watched this while pining for my own crush. The ending, with its tears shed and Journey's "Open Arms", was really devastating. I wanted and perhaps needed a happy ending. As you said, though, life does not always have those happy endings.

@Kev Walthall A great film is a great film, regardless of who makes it.

YES! Absolutely Real to Life. It might not be the ending that we WANT, but like you said, it IS the ending that's more Real-to-Life. Even today, too many battered women sadly forgive - and just as sadly forget - until the next time. Same with Teen Pregnancy, with young girls passing over the good guys & forgiving the bad guys & irresponsible ones who don't deserve the forgiveness.

Women actually be like that.

I really didn't have a problem with it. It's a good mystery to leave, considering the entire rest of the film is about not being sure you're dreaming.

Yes! Also, Elon Musk has also said that it's just as likely that we are in a simulation than not. - I say we are, one way or another. After all, everything we go through see & experience is created by the brain: - Everything we see, hear, smell, taste, touch & feel (and our responses to these stimuli/sensations), are all essentially created within our brain. So essentially we Are in a simulation of sorts. - It's very easy to forget this fact while we're busy living our lives, but it's true. - I like the fact that the ending is ambiguous & hints at the fact that he is still in a artificial dream/simulation. - It's funny that people talk about "the end" of the film & the spinning top, but if you watch the credits to the end, the sound/end credit music warps as if it's being drawn out and heard under water: - Yet another hint Right at the End that says "yup, this too is a dream"!

Damn right! I loved that enigmatic, it was supposed to remain a tortuous film for us all. WhatCulture can just sit home with their beer and stay away from social media, those ignorant and incompetent idiots

He did stay in his mind. I thought he kids were died. The whole movie he seems to want to stay.

Michael Caine indirectly revealed the ending was set in the real world, and not the dream world when he told an interviewer that his character never appears in the dream world.

What? A man expects sex because he’s nice to a woman? I suppose you’re right, that happens all the time.

The fact that she went back to the guy after she had an abortion shows how desperate she was. I've had a few friends in this position and NOT ONCE did they WANT to go back to that guy. Only the ones that ended up having a kid were the ones willing to accept the "dad" in their lives

@@chrisknight2631 I think the user meant for women staying for the guys that trashed them and gets laid anyway rather than with the guy being nice to them.

@@chrisknight2631 it does happen all the time indeed

That is the NORMAL ending in that situation, so better to find it out sooner than through experience later.

It's such a good movie

Well fucking said sir.

@@topsdaily_productions It's also an incredible book. Between No Country and The Road Cormac McCarthy excels at making tragedy and despair engrossing and I was super glad to see how faithful to the source material the Cohens made their film.

@@jeremygilbert7989 wait, The Road and No Country are the same author?!

@@markaitkenguitar Yep

I actually preferred the book ending, it was still dark because there was no end in sight to the mist, but it at least had hope. I don’t like the stories that just end in tragedy with nothing to redeem it at all. And honestly most Stephen king stories do end on at least a hopeful note like that. Actually the only one I can think of that didn’t off the top of my head is “The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill” which was part of his Creepshow anthology.

@@stuartdemerse7759 Nothing to redeem it?? Dude, the military is torching the mist and rounding up survivors. Some people we have reason to like from the supermarket survived. And, presumably, the military is defeating the monsters. This literally ends with a brighter note than the book, which leaves us wondering if the mist even has an end or if anyone survives. Yeah, it has a helluva impactful gut-punch, but it ends with more than hope: It ends with results.

Nope. My grandmother and mom went haywire looking for explanations and second parts to it. They also made hypothetical endings 😫

The Grey is a perfect sister piece to No Country For Old Men (I might be reaching...). Morality and cadence without spectacle. Life, life looked at, and death.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Do you mean the movie about Liam Neeson fighting wolves and we never see him fight wolves

That would be "a very particular set of skills."

Fincher didn't write that ending. That's exactly how the book ended and the author also wrote the screenplay.

The ending for gone girl did piss me off though, but it was pretty good

@@hamishwilson9787 you expected a Hollywood ending?

I HATE how movies in the US show insane amounts of violence, rape, blood splattering all over the walls as she's stabbing the other guy over and over... but has anyone else noticed that you never see so much as her nipple? It's a shame that we're all desensitized to violence, but we think that the human body is disgusting and should be hidden.

@@bwmanhath3770 Terrible ending

(Un)Surprisingly WhatCulture is wrong about half of the entries, I personally think that the ending for Night of the Living Dead is perfect and Inception's imbiguous ending fits the movie perfectly. I haven't seen the other half.

@@MyRegardsToTheDodo they're not wrong as much as people think. Good endings piss audiences off as. well when they're designed to like the mist

Sean Penn's The Pledge felt the same.

Agreed, he is with his kids, matters not to him if it is real :)

@@jeremiahlowe3268 so deep

The whole movie was taking place in a dream. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Exactly. The end is... he doesn't care. He's got what he wanted.

One day in future, he realized his children not getting older, but it is too late now there is no way back to come in reality

I don't think all of these are meant to be a bad pissed off where you think it's shit. I think that one was one of those where you're supposed to be pissed off in a good way. It's the difference between the ending of How I Met Your Mother that pissed us fans off because it shat on 5 years of character development for Barney and Robin and the series finale of Dawson's Creek that was pissed us off by toying with our emotions and waffling one way or the other before giving us the satisfying ending. The second was exhilarating.

@@MrJackfaire It was terrible dude, No, people were not expecting a happy ending, nobody wanted that, but also we did not wanted this

How about an ambiguous ending instead like the novella? leaves the audience pondering where half will say "they got away, they had a happy ending" and half saying "naw, they died for sure because survival is nigh impossible". Instead we got, "nope, they done f*cked up and f*ck you for watching this movie." It was way more unlikely that the military would suddenly show up. Like, really? Really?

The boy was a sacrifice. He was sacrificed and the mist disappeared

@@mr.boomsicle3870 Dude, the ending was awfull

Hilarious 😂

No, it was terrible and pointless dude

Which, The Mist, or The Grey? Either way, it probably just wasn't for you. I thoroughly enjoyed both endings.

Okay. The author of the original book dropped the ball. I don't think it changes much who is to blame for a bad choice; the point is we negatively reacted to a bad choice. But, to address your point directly, what works on paper doesn't necessarily work on screen. A film adaptation should adapt -- not just use the book as a script.

I don't know. Being a big thicko, I like to have my movie endings spelt out. My ticket money was unambiguous and I'd like the film to be.

@Asher Avellan I enjoyed the film, and the point Nolan was making was ultimately, it didn't matter, it was real to Cobb. Personally, he can stick that right up his bum, whilst making the Inception foghorn trailer sound.

@Asher Avellan BWAAAAAARP! (ouch)

@@jasonp8460 that's an interesting point. We're still discussing it now, so that's how good the film was.

Was fine by me.

Ooohhhh! I Like It! Or even if it comes back as being his child, he can run with the kid to - I dunno, Belize, maybe - as well as your idea of suicide note dumping on her to the press! - I just realised; that would then see her charged by the Police & imprisoned, too!

That just defeats the entire purpose of the movie

Oh my god, don't quit your day job and stop watching Maury Povich, it's poison

It made me mad :(

Just watching the brief clip here mad me angry all over again. Everything about that finally scene is stupid even if it is ‘darker’. If he wanted to still die, he should’ve just grabbed a gun from a soldier and started shooting the survivors until they killed him that way.

@@Dark_Mishra he didn't want to die at all. he is only regretful of what he did.

Anyone can just grab guns from soldiers. Soldiers are trained to provide guns to randos.

@@Dark_Mishra why would he kill himself that way? Wouldn't it be way easier and less messy that, after grabbing the soldier's gun, he just shot himself with it? I don't get why he would need to shoot anyone else lol

You’d think he was a villain or something 😉

Yes.

I saw the Season Ending episode of Venture Bros. Before I saw Easy Rider.

I remember going to the theatre with friends when Easy Rider came out....we all left the theatre pissed right off.....five angry guys on Harleys....

Please tell us why, one of the greatest horror endings of all time?

I see it as Shelton winning. He proved his point. He could only be stopped if Foxx stops being a law abiding citizen

"Jamie Foxx murders his client" He was the prosecuting attorney. Shelton wasn't his client.

Foxx didn't murder anyone. He left it up to shelton to make the call or not. Shelton killed himself by being blind with rage and calling the number. That's why I don't think it bothered him

Smug Foxx I kept wishing for his death not the intention of the director I’m sure major backfire you needed to have sympathy for Foxx and I just didn’t buy it. Really pissed me off. No Country was great even though it ended darker than wished for Javier Bardem was amazing

Came here to day this.

I totally feel what you're saying. I thought he was gonna get lucky like Private School or Porky's but no..... They treated us to an After school special on steroids!

@Kev Walthall Uhh... Tell me something that I don't know. And your point is????

@Kev Walthall Do go away, a good film is a good film.

Well, Shelton was Rice’s client in the trial against Darby and Ames. True, for most of the movie, Shelton was the defendant, but as Rice was his attorney during the initial trial, the video was correct.

@@Anurepa "Rice was his attorney during the initial trial, the video was correct." The OP is correct. Rice was never Shelton's attorney. He was the prosecuting attorney. His client would be the State if you want to even go that far.

He was definitely the bad guy and he got away with it.

RoS was soo bad I didn’t even recall that scene/ending... seeing it again now, that isn’t that bad of an ending all things considered in the last 2 movies.

Luke A 😂😂😂

How can a movie be divisive when critics and a healthy majority of the fan base agree that it’s bad? The only question is whether Episode 9 earned a D or an F.

I effing Loved The Village! There are some First Nation Tribes (The Hopi, for one - I think), who use monster costumes to terrify their little children into compliance with the rest of the tribe. - The parents are complicit in this: The "Monsters" in the night to drag away "naughty" children (imagine a tug of war with your Kid as the rope!). - After that, the Monsters say they will return next day to Take And KILL The KID! The parents & kid make food together to appease the "Monsters" & the Kid generally is too effing terrified to step out of line! - And THAT was the premise of The Village ... Except instead of an established practice by an existing tribe, it was modern city-dwellers who not only couldn bear to deal with their grief, they inflicted this practice on their own children, and, by denying the very existence of violence itself, don't see it coming. - That only makes Bryce Dallas Howard's character's decision to continue the practice all the worse. A sad and frustrating ending, yes, but in a meant-to-be way. - The Village's ending wowed me, rather than pissing me off. I just think people thought it was a cop-out, rather than showing what some people will do with enough money and complete and utter denial.

I like the part where the elders tell the other elder that Hurt’s character had sent the girl out to get help. He said It doesn’t matter. I lost x and y out in the world and I lost w and z in here. That was the real lesson to me.

That shit goes on in some tribes!

I did read somewhere that King himself actually loved the movie ending and wished he came up with that himself.

It's funny, both movies were released on 2007. I should watch The Mist sometimes.

the mist ending was brilliant

Even King said he wishes he'd come up with the movie ending himself. So I don't think they changed the meaning too much. It wasn't exactly meant to be HOPEFUL in the book, I think you just find it hopeful in comparison to the suicide pact.

@@LordofFullmetal not really. The book ends with the group driving toward boston where they heard there is organised resistance to the monsters. Thats a hopeful outcome. Anyway, the discussion base is not about the mist movie ending being better than the book or not but this video argument about annoying endings. I explained that unlike the mist, no country for old men stayed true to the original so it is silly to blame the movie makers about the ending.

I really didnt see them demonized though. Just a pack hunting wounded/exhausted prey as they normally would. These wolves didnt randomly enter downtown newyork or something

@@masterreaper115 The wolves were made to look like the bad guys, and that's not accurate or fair.

@@PlatinumRoseLady I feel like you are being way too sensitive here. The wolves are more or less acting like real wolves would and have in similar events. Wounded humans stranded in the wild in the wolves territory tend to get hunted. Thats literally how it works. The main character is a human so yeah anything that tries to kill him is the "bad" guy. Showing things being accurate isnt demonizing something my friend. If it showed the wolves happily trotting around and bringing the wounded food would that be better?

It pissed me off because the character knew he was fucked, no way out alive but he still decided to do as much damage as possible before dying. He was the trespasser, he should have laid down in the snow and died.

@@madhuaiyar27 It is annoying, i agree. The problem is that they gave creative control to whoever was directing it at the time. Inconsistency between TFA and TLJ gave them a choice.
