August Rush: This movie had the cast, and the idea to be a really great heart-moving movie that a guy like me would absolutely hate that I enjoyed. Thankfully it fell apart around itself and culminated with the most unemotional and failure of an ending at answering most of the questions like, do they actually get back together, where did Terrance Howard go, and while its weakly implied they lived ever after, a simple post concert family hug, while cheesy would have at least made an attempt to fill out what had just been a disappointing movie.

Darwin Awards: A bit of an oddball movie with a mixing pot cast, and throughout the movie it maintained this idea and was rather entertaining. And just when I was hoping it would follow through on this and leave the character changed in a few minor more realistic way, it snapped itself straight back to a stereotypical Hollywood ending, everyones happy, everyone wins and the bad guy pays the odd price. Had the option for such a cool ending, or a none ending might have been ok here, but it ruined anything it had going, which was only mediocre to begin with.

Hulk: While this movie is widely considered a failure and abominable for a director of Ang Lee's obvious story telling talent; i have always argued that this film was ok, and left itself open for a franchise saving sequel (as often as that happens) if not for the main action sequence in the film being destroyed by an 'artistic' decision to use comic book cells to show everything that was going on at once. Only one problem, in a big action movie, people don't want to squint at the screen at a bunch of small cells and try to grow a few extra pairs of eyes so they don't miss something. This particular scene took a mediocre savable movie down the drain and spawned what we can only hope is a much better version this weekend.

Broken Flowers: Bill Murray stars in this strangely captivating indie-drama I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it, but from the start I knew we would never find his son. What I did not know was that after the intriguing encounter with the kid from the airport, there would be a strange kid driving by starring at an old man in a sweat suit standing in the middle of the road. The point was obvious, he was suspicious of everyone who looked the right age, the problem? The point had been made a number of times and this just took the movie a good 12 seconds over its perfect running time. I went from wow, good movie, strange guy to, what the hell is this, he's going to start chasing children around now? Would have been an 8.5/10 before the 12 seconds, and ended up being a 6.5/10 and took itself off my 'must own' list.

Citizen Kane: Orson Welles really did revolutionize the way movies are made and the way they tell stories with this thinly veiled biopic of William Randolph Hearst. I had a feeling i was going to be slightly disappointed a couple hours in when we still didn't know what "rosebud" was about. Only to find out in the last few seconds of the movie he was referring to his sled. Or at least that seems to be what he is referring too. After I calmed down a few days later (this movie had been hyped for decades before I finally got to it), i thought about it and kinda figured it out, last thing his parents ever really gave him, maybe the end of his freedom and happiness, whatever. It was so anti-climatic or even interesting to reveal it as the sled burns in the furnace. Just horrible.

Eastern Promises: Some seem to love this movie. I was never sure what was so great about it. It has very good acting, a decent story, its just a decent movie. Since this is a hub on worst endings you can guess why it made the list, the revelation of Viggio Mortenson's employment by some anti-organized crime unit of the police. This revelation is made, moved by, and almost forgotten only to come up after your done and realise, nothing ever comes of this, other than he doesn't have the heart to kill a baby. But he doesn't have to be a cop to avoid that level of criminality, just a human. This one was just bizarre and unnecessary and just put the final nail in the coffin of a mediocre, while extremely detailed, movie.

Hot Fuzz: After all this depression, I have picked a movie that is the complete opposite. The whole first 2/3's of the movie is ok, with scattered laughs and a few weird scenes and events. But when the movie gets its shit in gear...it takes off and you go on a trip most action movies take 2 hours to get you through in a good 25 minutes. The ending makes this entire movie and makes sitting through the first bit entirely necessary. Gotta love Simon Pegg.

I have listed all these from Amazon, feel free to check them out, many are worth buying if you enjoy movies, but for someone as bitter as me, I'm not going to be-able to get over some of these endings.
