People Are Sharing The Movie Endings That Were So Bad They Ruined An Otherwise Good Film, And I'm Curious To Know If You Agree
Reddit user @world_citizen7 recently asked: "What movie had such a bad ending that it ruined an otherwise good movie?" Here are some of the best answers, and FYI, some posts have been edited for clarity! Oh, and you should probably know that there are some spoilers ahead! 1.'Hancock. The first 2/3 was a not bad look at the idea of a being with superpowers who had no interest in being a superhero or villain. Then the movie took a 136 degree turn into some really weird tacked-on plot twists.' — The1Ylrebmik 2.'Signs. I mean, those aliens came billions of miles, conquered the whole planet in a blink of an eye, and didn't realize they couldn't handle water, one of the most common things on the planet? Same with War of the Worlds and a virus, both were nonsensical.' — bevymartbc 3.'I remember at the end of Kingsman: The Secret Service, they make a big deal about this dude fucking a girl in the ass as his reward for saving her. It's so awkward and they put so much focus on it. Totally unnecessary and yet I guess the writers, producers, and director fought for it to be in the final cut for some goddamn reason. Did they have a raunchy joke quota that they needed to fulfill?' — JacobStills 4.'Grease. Why does the car fly?' — DependentSelect6973 5.'Unpopular opinion regarding a classic Hollywood film: My Fair Lady. I absolutely detested Henry Higgins, and when Eliza came back after he admits (only to himself) how important she is to him, he puts on his condescending act and demands she finds his slippers as she smiles at him. Yuck.' — GrouchyBear_99 6.'Now You See Me, it was great fun until the reveal, which makes even less sense the more you think about it.' — shemjaza 7.'As a kid, I loved all the Oz books, where Oz was real. I never forgave the movie The Wizard of Oz for having it all turn out to be a dream. What was the point of it all then?' — Garbage-Bear 8.'X-Men Origins: Wolverine. First two acts were good, the third act and the screwed up version of 'Deadpool' ruined the overall film.' — Bigtony7877 9.'Personally, for me it was Longlegs. I was so looking forward to it, and thought it was really good until the very ending.' — streetxtrash 10.'Glass, dud ending to a decent trilogy. You can defeat Bruce Willis with a… puddle? There's a secret organization that gets rid of people with powers? What?' — GrumpyOldMan59 11.'The Lilo & Stitch remake going against the message of Ohana.' — MattWolf96 12.'Joker: Folie à Deux. I was enjoying it (yes, even the musical parts) and wondering why everyone was hating on it. Then it got to the final act, and I understood.' — Maxhousen 13.'Ocean's 8. All these awesome, capable women, and you get a dude to come in at the end and do the actual stealing? And to top it off, you only get away with it because James Corden decides to look the other way? No thank you.' — dumblesmurf 14.'Yesterday. Not well known because the ending sucked so much it didn't end up being popular, but it was that movie about the guy who wakes up one day and is the only one who remembers the Beatles. Such a creative premise, and it built a really interesting narrative, that then has the most boring, poorly-written, unsatisfying ending. Ruins the whole thing.' — NoButThanksAnyway 15.'Interstellar totally flummoxed me on the romantic relationship at the end. They hated each other for the whole movie, and now they're together because they are the highest-paid actor and actress on call, and the producers said the flick needs a romance or something?' — PublicCraft3114 16.'Life of Pi. 'Did it actually happen? Idk but it made for a cool story' wtf no, don't make me watch a whole movie then end it as if everything was made up.' — peanut6547 17.'Sinister's ending and final act was so bad that it removed every ounce of rewatchability for me. It took away the unsettling tone of the tapes and it was just cringey seeing the kids in bad makeup dance around the house. Such a shame. It was a really good horror movie up until the reveal.' — Queef-Elizabeth 18.'Source Code. Overturned the whole conceit of the movie for the sake of a happy ending.' — third-time-charmed 19.'Gravity. I was buying the whole movie, all the way, even as she splash landed in the lake. But after all she went through, to just get up and walk away ruined the whole thing. IMO it would have been a better movie if she would have died at the bottom of the lake cuz she couldn't get out of her suit in time. At least that ending I could have respected.' — IndependentFalse4270 20.'I loved Conclave up until the end, it just seemed so unnecessary to add that to the story I guess. Like it served no real purpose to the story or anything. Just came out of nowhere.' — mrlurker666 And finally: 21.'I've never been more pissed off at the ending of a movie than I was when I watched Promising Young Woman. That movie was super interesting and then it decided to end in the shittiest, most anticlimactic way possible, and before the credits even rolled all I could think was: 'Well, this is the worst thing I've seen in years and I'll never watch this shitty ass movie again.' It was and I haven't. Fuck that movie.' — NikonShooter_PJS Do you agree with these choices? Let me know the movies that you think were ruined by their ending in the comments below!

This crime thriller starring Daniel Craig and Tom Hardy just arrived on Paramount Plus — and it's a must-watch
Looking through all the new shows and movies on Paramount Plus this month, a name jumped out at me: "Layer Cake." Now, that title might not be familiar to you. The 2004 crime thriller made a whopping $11.8 million at the box office. But it features a lot of names you're probably familiar with. It stars Daniel Craig, pre-James Bond, as a cocaine dealer who hates violence and just wants out of the game. One of his associates? A young Tom Hardy. There's also Michael Gambon, who you probably know best as Albus Dumbledore from the third through eighth "Harry Potter" films, but in this movie is a ruthless crime lord. And it's all directed by Matthew Vaughn, doing his best Guy Ritchie impression before he'd go on to make "Kick-Ass" and "Kingsman: The Secret Service." So if you're looking for something to watch after the epic "MobLand" finale or just need a great movie to watch this weekend, here's why you need to check out "Layer Cake on Paramount Plus. As I already mentioned, "Layer Cake" stars Daniel Craig as XXXX, a successful cocaine dealer who wants out of the coke business and to retire to a quite life. There's just one problem: his boss. XXXX works for Jimmy Price (Kenneth Cranham), who needs some things done before our lead can enjoy some peace and quiet. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. First, Jimmy needs our otherwise unnamed protagonist to find Charlie (Nathalie Lunghi), a drug-addicted runaway with a connected father. He also needs a drug deal completed with the Duke (Jamie Foreman), who is offering up $1 million in ecstasy tablets to Jimmy. Of course, none of this goes to plan, and now XXXX is having to navigate the layers of London's criminal underworld to get the job done and get out. Daniel Craig has many iconic performances under his belt at this point. The handsome and deadly James Bond, the brilliant detective Benoit Blanc and a dancing diva in Taika Waititi's Belvedere vodka advertisement, just to name a few. But his performance in "Layer Cake" might be my favorite of them all. It's a perfect blend of wit and being cool under pressure. In many ways, it's similar to the performance he'd later give in 2006 in "Casino Royale." His performance in "Layer Cake" is sometimes even cited as why he was cast as James Bond in 2005, though others say EON Productions had their eyes on Craig as early as 1996. Still, the performance in "Layer Cake" is slightly more grounded than the one Craig gives in his first Bond movie, and not quite as bleak as the one he gives in "Quantum of Solace." It lacks the cockiness of Bond, while still making sure the audience knows Craig is the smartest man in the room. Yes, others in this movie are well worth watching — Gambon is particularly excellent, and Hardy, Sienna Miller, Colm Meany and George Harris are plenty good — but it's still Craig who steals the movie from the beginning and never lets go. "Layer Cake" is also, simply put, a great crime thriller. If you like Guy Ritchie movies or Matthew Vaughn's other work, then you'll easily find yourself enjoying it. And it has a killer soundtrack that's almost worth the price of admission on its own. There's no reason not to check it out now that it's available to stream on Paramount Plus. Stream "Layer Cake" now on Paramount Plus Malcolm has been with Tom's Guide since 2022, and has been covering the latest in streaming shows and movies since 2023. He's not one to shy away from a hot take, including that "John Wick" is one of the four greatest films ever made. Here's what he's been watching lately:

Cristiano Ronaldo and Matthew Vaughn launch UR•Marv film studio with action movie series in development
Cristiano Ronaldo and director Matthew Vaughn have launched UR•Marv, a new independent film studio, according to Variety. The venture aims to merge innovative filmmaking technology with a respect for cinematic tradition, blending Ronaldo's global brand with Vaughn's flair for action storytelling. The pair has already completed two action films, with a third in development — all part of an interconnected series they financed and produced through UR•Marv. Details about the first installment are expected to be announced soon. 'This is an exciting chapter for me, as I look ahead to new ventures in business,' Ronaldo said of the partnership. Vaughn, known for directing films like Layer Cake, Kick-Ass, and Kingsman: The Secret Service, praised Ronaldo's storytelling legacy. 'Cristiano has created stories on the pitch that I could never have written, and I look forward to creating inspiring movies with him – he's a real-life superhero,' he said. UR•Marv marks another step in Ronaldo's growing media portfolio. In 2023, he became a key investor in Medialivre, a major Portuguese media group. In 2024, he launched a YouTube channel, 'UR Cristiano,' offering fans personal insights and exclusive content. Vaughn, meanwhile, continues to expand his footprint in entertainment. He directed the 2024 spy thriller Argylle, starring Henry Cavill and Bryce Dallas Howard, and has two more Kingsman films in development.
