it would appear Hollywood’s reign of bad
endings ironically has no end
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for yet another
top 10 worst movie endings for this list
we’re taking a look at another bushel of
anti-climactic ill-conceived and
downright rotten cinematic conclusions
that were in dire need of rewrites if
you’re wondering where the devil inside
and The Matrix Revolutions are be sure
to check out our previous two lists for
the top 10 worst movie endings well we
have a theme again I suspect so someday
oh and since we’re discussing the ends
of all the movies and questions a
spoiler alert is definitely in order
[Music]
number 10 the mega happy ending
Australia at almost three hours it’s
hard not to keep checking your watch
throughout this overblown 2008 epic it’s
a real tragedy terrible every time you
think Australia is finally gonna end the
story just keeps dragging with a goofy
mind right you’re an atom I wouldn’t
have it on with you if you were the only
chocolate
nice try it it’s not enough for our
lovers to reunite and go home on top of
that we need to sit through a
disgustingly sentimental finale where
the aboriginal brat goes off with his
deadbeat shaman grandpa
Norvin old army getting another one in a
manga
come for a movie set during the bombing
of Darwin things couldn’t have wrapped
up better for our heroes if they went
over the rainbow
and I will
number nine Nevada was nicked the whole
time open windows not the best time we
are going to leave an open window for
you to talk to us open windows centers
on Elijah Woods Nick who gets roped into
a kidnapping by a stalker named cord
should I click on this Court once Nick
served his purpose courts seemingly
disposes of him upon receiving a call
from the mysterious hacker Nevada
however cord learns that the real Nick
spent most of the night unconscious what
who are you cords actually been playing
cat-and-mouse with Nevada who disguised
himself as Nick with a high-tech mask I
became Nick chambers piling on one too
many twists for its own good
this doppelganger revelation is so
inexplicable that even Mission
Impossible would be howling this is the
real Nick chambers don’t worry he’s okay
I stole his identity on his computer so
I could find out who you were and find a
way to hunt you down number eight
Batman’s second coming The Dark Knight
Rises
a lot of people seem split on whether or
not the Dark Knight Rises was a
successful ending to Christopher Nolan’s
Batman trilogy but even diehard fans
seem to agree that the film’s conclusion
makes about as much sense as the final
act of interstellar yes you are
so somehow Batman survived getting blown
up by a bomb makes it to florence meets
up with Selina and somehow Alfred shows
up at the same cafe as them
did planets line up or is Alfred just
hallucinating from grief
Oh also it turns out Blake is Robin you
should use your full name I like that
name
Robin Thanks number seven seriously a
split personality secret window gave me
my name told me everything you wanted me
to do except for revealing that the
whole movie was a dream a split
personality twist is easily the cheapest
cop-out imaginable what is happening to
me oh I think you know I think you have
a real good idea the ending to secret
window slaps the audience across the
face as Johnny Depp’s more CH comes face
to face with himself yes man whatever
anybody else’s that’s right John shooter
the man who has supposedly been giving
people the axe was just a character Mort
created to do his dirty work
fixed standing gotta fix the ending and
how exactly do you suppose we ought to
do that then in a finale that’s more
laughable than it is frightening the
two-faced Mort takes revenge on his
cheating wife and partakes in some
bountiful corn her death will be a
mystery
even to me number six a storybook ending
AI artificial intelligence you know how
sometimes a parent will tack on a happy
ending to a melancholy story for their
child’s benefit that’s the best way to
describe the final 20 minutes of AI by a
real boy then I can go back and she love
me then the problem is the movie was
intended for adults dearest David your
wish is my command
rather than ending with David at the
bottom of the ocean like it should have
evolved mecca’s arrived 2,000 years in
the future the Blue Fairy resurrects
David’s mother for one day and they have
kick by now indeed the windows were
beginning to dim David drew the shades
without even needing to be asked in its
pursuit to be heartwarming ai instead
left most moviegoers enraged
[Music]
number five Lucy’s a flashdrive now Lucy
it’s debated whether or not Lucy is a
smart movie or a dumb movie one thing’s
for certain though it’s ending is 100%
idiotic
as her brain reaches maximum capacity
Luci transcends all humankind becomes
one with the space-time continuum and
leaves behind a flash drive for dr.
Morgan Freeman it almost feels like
director Luc Besson is trying to channel
2001 but instead of going out on a
profound note Lucy leaves the audience
slapping their foreheads in frustration
you’re stifled that batch number 4 game
over I don’t think so or is it saw 3d
saw 3d keeps in the tradition of its two
predecessors jumping the shark with an
inconceivable last-minute twist like
that I need you to change your
perspective on life
remember dr. Lawrence Gordon the guy who
cut off his foot well get this jigsaw
spared his life and Lawrence has been
his partner in crime ever since
congratulations dr. Boyd you survived
in retaliation for killing Jill the
doctor kidnaps detective Hoffman takes
into a familiar room and declares the
game officially over
do you think you’re going it’s totally
ludicrous but now that John Kramer’s
dead at least this is guaranteed to be
the saw franchise’s final chapter right
game number three Joe was a ghost safe
haven oh well I’m not close by city
standards I’m Joe by the way safe haven
is a typical Nicholas Sparks adaptation
about a girl named Katie and a guy named
Alex who share a small-town romance it’s
nothing great but nothing awful either
until we get to the final couple of
minutes that was a stupid young girl
that got into a relationship with the
wrong man how am I supposed to believe
that through a letter Katie realizes
that her friend Joe was actually Alex’s
late wife in other words Katie was
talking to a ghost too the whole movie I
only wish I could be there somehow to
meet you that’s not you can’t what
pardon the mindless stammering but
that’s the only way to describe just how
random illogical and flat-out stupid
this ending truly is
number two Khan star trek into darkness
into darkness was such an awesome
follow-up to JJ Abrams Star Trek reboot
that it’s easy to forgive the film’s
absurd ending
my name is car with that said it was a
pretty absurd ending rather than paying
homage to Wrath of Khan into darkness
literally recreates its spiritual
successors iconic climax
[Music]
the only difference is that Kirk and
Spock reverse roles leading to Kirk’s
demise and Spock making William
Shatner’s infamously silly cursing sound
even sillier don’t worry though because
bones basically cures death and brings
Kirk back to life well that’s convenient
oh don’t be so melodramatic you were
barely dead before we discuss how our
top pick should have ended here are a
few honorable or in this case
dishonorable mentions what do you want
[Applause]
[Music]
people still don’t get it they don’t
appreciate what I’m trying to say mate
but they will soon enough by the toll of
a billion deaths man had earned his
immunity his right to survive among this
planet’s infinite organisms number one
Robbie survives War of the Worlds I’ll
continue
it’s time
Steven Spielberg’s War of the Worlds
comes close to ending on a high note as
the extraterrestrials are exterminated
by the smallest of God’s creatures while
ray and Rachel make it to Boston Ray’s
headstrong son Robbie is nowhere to be
seen however allegedly dying after
stupidly running into battle to see this
just when it looks like the story is
going to challenge us with an
ambiguously powerful ending the prodigal
son emerges without a scratch on him
[Music]
and the narrator wraps up everything in
a nice tidy bow son of a and that right
is house against all challenges for
neither do men live nor die in vain
[Music]
