It's a great ending, the only thing that puts me off is Thomas Jane's intermittent screaming. It's almost as if he'd occasionally stop and open his eyes to see if the shot was still being filmed, and then he'd resume screaming.

Movie Endings That Made You Legitimately Angry
- Thread starter Z-Beat
- Start date
Kurosawa's The Bad Sleep Well pissed me off, because the movie builds this elaborate revenge plot that the main character works to execute, and then shits on it because Kurosawa presumably wanted to show that rich and powerful people can get away with anything. Hence the title. I just thought "wow, thanks for wasting my time with that profound message."
A Chinese film called "The Silent War", starring Tony Leung (The Mandarin in the upcoming Marvel's Shang Chi).
It started off as a unique thriller, about a blind piano tuner who gets recruited as a spy, but ended up being a communist nationalistic mouthpiece. Never had an opinion of a movie do a complete 180* within seconds.

The 2010~ish movie with Tom Hanks or the Argento movie? What are the differences?
The film literally portrays him as a scumbag from start to finish, a man with no redeeming features whatsoever who loses everything and everyone he ever cared about. And his success is having to teach people who don't understand what he's saying how to make money.

Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 had its entire soundtrack changed to metal and it jacks up the tone of the film
ahahahahahaha
It's been a while since I've seen this but I think that was the idea; that all of this was happening because it's what the audience wants to see, with no actual rhyme or reason as far as the characters are concerned. They exist as villains because the movie needs villains.

I mean, that's every mainland china movie. Even Hero, while being a gorgeous film and amazing piece of work, is just propaganda.
The exception, of course, is anything by Jia Zhangke but he also usually can't release his films in China since they're all so critical of the Chinese government.
It always felt like the mental breakdown of a normal man to me, trying to retain his composure while simultaneously not being able to.
Vader was always whiny. I absolutely believe the PT's Anakin. Only someone as immature as PT Anakin could turn into Vader.
Not sure when he has the first vision exactly but he has two vision (canon) one he isn't strong enough to kill the emperor and loses. The second one he has after he finds out about Luke and he successfully turns Luke to the darkside but with their combined powers they still lose
It wasn't just two kids though. There were multiple ships with humans on them.
Movie had other issues, but "jerk hero who has been rejected by the girl for the entire movie can fuck her at the end as a reward" legit pissed me off. Even more shit because Laureline was the only good character in the movie until she gave up to his advances.
Yep, sounds like Luc Besson.
You'd probably be more angry if they added more stuff from the book.
Like all the incestual stuff
But yeah, I really, really dislike the movie, it's not a tearjerker, Seta is just a complete idiot.
Where is that mentioned? It sure as hell wasn't mentioned in the actual movie. Also he could have at every time just walk up to the emperor and surprise attack him, just like he did in RotJ. It's just contrived storytelling to somehow get to the status quo in ANH.
While I don't hate the ending, I just don't like the inconsistencies of the 'rules' of why 'it' follows it's victims...
That's why I like The Witch (2015) more.
One of the Vader comics done under Disney. Forget which but it's been brought up before on ERA.
The EU always does it best to justify the bad decision in the prequel or at least make it more sense
as soon as it turned into 'spooky ghost' on the beach that film dropped off a cliff
This is a great pick.

I like the movie, more or less, and I was even on board with the dynamic between Valerian and Laureline initially but, boy oh boy, does the direction their relationship goes really sours things.
Valerian as a boorish cad who is constantly chasing the coolest girl in the universe who knows better than to give him the time of day, it isn't the greatest dynamic in the world but it'll do...and then you start to realize that this is supposed to be an actual romance and it ends trying to make you accept that that is what the film was. It is crazy.
The ending to Lord of the Rings.
After all this time Frodo gets possessed by the ring anyway.
Garbage.
He has been staring and using the ring since movie 1!!!!!!!!!!!!! A gallion hours of having that thing and nothing happens.
Not because it makes sense or that he's special. It's because the plot doesn't need him to get possessed the entire trilogy, just at the very end as some trash plot twist.
Then Smeagol accidentaly saves the world. SMEAGOL. The worst thing to happen to cinema since Jar-Jar Binks.
Burn the books.

I was always more annoyed that no one ever bothered to flour bomb or throw paint on the invisible monster to prove to people that the invisible monster exists. They did however escalate immediately to
Toaster in pool.
Maybe you wouldn't have shot your friend in the leg while trying to shoot an invisible monster if you'd brought something that makes the invisible monster visible.

If you're going to throw flour at a ghost, you should at least follow up by throwing eggs at it, then panko breadcrumbs, and then frying until golden brown.
