WAR OF THE WORLDS (Spielberg) I was really into the movie, but the ending was just... awful. Just awful. I snorted and laughed. To be fair, that is the actual ending to the story and not something exclusive to the Spielberg version. I was actually surprised they stuck with it, as I figured audiences today would find it too lackluster and anti-climactic. I liked that they kept it, though, and didn't force a cliched epic scale military showdown with the aliens or anything like that. EDIT: Oops. If you were talking about the son turning up alive at the end, yeah, that was a sour moment. About all these bleak endings, though, such as The Mist, I go to movies to be entertained and forget about my troubles. I have enough uncertainty and depressing crap to deal with already, so the last thing I want to see when I'm expecting entertainment is a movie that leaves me feeling down and in the dumps. That's why World War Z was such a much welcome breath of fresh air. While not everything was back to normal, it ended on a really positive, uplifting note that had me feeling good as I left the theater, and my brother and I had a very fun, spirited conversation during the car ride home. We were like, "Now that's how you end a movie." In that case, I would urge you NEVER to watch the Rock Hudson film SECONDS.... It makes the ending of THE MIST seem like a trip to Disneyland.. Ford A.

In that case, I would urge you NEVER to watch the Rock Hudson film SECONDS.... Excellent film, SECONDS. I'm always surprised at how many people have never seen this one. Quality filmmaking. Friends of this horrid little movie- gets the Criterion treatment on Blu-Ray in a couple of weeks. But why is this film being discussed in the "worst ending" thread? The ending doesn't cop out. It takes you right over the singularity.

Yes, THE MIST, not a bad ending per se, but it didn't feel right in that storyline. Those weren't people that were just gonna give up trying to survive. It was just intended as shock, but didn't feel appropiate for the movie
