    We've all experienced this at least once. You're watching a fantastic movie, and then you're hit with a stupid and/or extremely disappointing ending.
    The other day I was watching the 1997 film "Devils Advocate" (trailer) directed by Taylor Hackford and starring Keanu Reeves and Al Pacino. It's an amazing film, and one of my favorites while growing up.
    The ending was underwhelming and left me feeling so disappointed.
    Also, while I wouldn't say Paranormal Activity or The Blair Witch Project are "good" movies, they are entertaining enough to watch. The endings however (all three in the formers case) were pretty lackluster.
    Yes, I understand the ending of TBWP.

    So what are some movies you enjoy that have a disappointing ending?

    AI: Artificial Intelligence. Holy f--- I have no idea what they were thinking with this one.

    I Am Legend. Plain and simple, they f----- up because the alternate ending is way better.

    Eastern Promises. Kind of anti-climactic ending. Now if they ever do a sequel, then the ending's okay.

    Yep. The theatrical ending ruined the entire movie for me.

    Edgy choice but Donnie Darko could've ended better still with the same idea

    I really enjoyed the first 2 acts of 'The Wolverine' but the giant robot finale s----d.

    To be honest, the alternate ending is pretty weak, but it is certainly better than the utter betrayal of an ending that the theatrical cut had. Shame because the first half of the film was fantastic, minus some ropey CGI.

    The Mist. Not really bad, but just super s-----y for the people in the movie.

    That's my point. Neither would be amazing endings but the alternate would definitely not be considered one of the worst ever. It made sense and it was unexpected. It would be somewhere in the middle. The theatrical is a f---ing abomination. The alternate also could've led to a sequel. With the theatrical it destroyed all hopes of that.
