Which movie endings do you feel totally spoil the movie as a whole and make it crap? Or endings that don't make sense or just plain suck? Like when you are loving a movie and saying to yourself that you're going to buy it but then the ending scene ruins it. Remember to use spoiler tags please.

Here's one--and we won't need a "spoiler" tag, either(!):
Spielberg's A.I.. I thought it a relatively good (though not great) film with some breathtakingly realistic special effects. But, alas, it went on too long and---oila!---featured a typical "Spielberg touch": "And he lived happily ever after."
(Sigh.)

I can think of one: The Ninth Gate. It had EVERYTHING going for it: Drama, suspense, acting. Then all of a sudden it dropped down into an ending that made me go "WTF?!" The ending was very weak for an otherwise good movie. I'm glad I only rented it.

Vanilla Sky, I would have really liked this ending if it wasn't for the fact that they had to spell out every little detail for us. Whats wrong with a little thinking for ourselves. If it wasn't for that I would have thought it was a top ending.

Actually that was the ending that Kubrick himself wanted, not Spielberg.
As far as crappy endings go......
Snake Eyes is the worst for me. I was really into the film until about the last 20 minutes and it fell apart. Which in turn ruined the entire film for me.

Anyone see a little flick called Pay It Forward?  
At the time that I first saw it in the theater the abruptness of The Empire Strikes Back's ending really bugged me, but not so much anymore -- probably because I now know what happens next!  |

A lot of Gene Kelly musicals are good until the end when he ruins them with an overlong, boring ballet takeoff. This is especially true of Singin' in the Rain which I don't buy only because I can't stand the ending.
The Wizard of Oz also has a dumb ending (although I still watch it), completely missing the point of the book (it wasn't a dream).
Suspicion has a horrible ending only in that Hitchcock wasn't allowed to film the one he wanted which would have been great
As much as I love Monty Python & the Holy Grail, I think the ending is really weak, and would have much rather had some sort of 10th century resolution.

Mission to Mars ... In my opinion one of the worst movies that I've ever seen. Stupid, just stupid.

I have to say Shrek because And for that reason, I can't stand this movie anymore(plus the stupid mass ads for it). Because this movie doesn't have a center of a onion, it smell like a onion instead  . Of course there worst movies out there, but this take the cake. And I thought Sphere was bad, sheesh. To quote Dennis Miller, "That is my opinion and I could be wrong".
I need a new signature.
