Good movies ruined by bad endings
So I watching TV and came across The Verdict with Paul Newman and it just started and I didn't see anything else on TV so I decided to watch it. It's about Paul Newman being an old forgotten lawyer doing nothing and then his friends gets him an slam dunk case but he decides to go to trial instead of an easy settlement. It was actually good and I was getting interested, I've always liked being surprised when watching something with negative expectations and being proved wrong.
I liked the movie and it was good but then like the last 10 to 15 minutes was a giant WTF and really didn't do the rest of the movie justice. It had proper building and then it felt like "damn we ran out of time lets cut this up" and it just ends. I don't really like ending that cut it too short, I like some fleshing out in moderation of course.
What movies have you watched that were either ruined by their endings or perhaps improved?

I'm going with They Live, just abrupt ending like they ran out of money.
Absolutely goddamn right! Unless you were goin' all the way...
Kurtz got off the boat. He split from the whole fuckin' program.

Spot on. It's like Lo Pan catches the group on the way out and is all "hey, stay a while longer, have a cup of tea or something" and Kurt Russell goes "err, no. Also, knife to the forehead. kthxbai!". It's like Indiana Jones' knife to a gunfight moment, only the guy who gets shots happens to be the main antagonist.SenisterDenister wrote:As much as I love Big Trouble in Little China I think the fight with Lo Pan at the end was pretty anti-climactic.
To be fair, though, another big fight after the ol' lightning dude woulda probably been overkill.

The Wicker Man remake. I never saw the original, so it may apply to it too, but I doubt it. The last 30 minutes actually falls into this category, if that counts as an ending, is one of the worst things every spliced into cinema, but the last scenes are horrible retarded.
On the other hand, the bees being in Nicholas Cage's eyes quote is pretty awesome.
