    Sunshine - Fantastic movie, then turned into a slasher film. This could have been one of my favorite sci-fi films of all time, but then the end had to ruin it for me

    13th Warrior - I loved this movie till the they revealed the "dragon" was just cavemen.

    The Beach - This enjoyable movie just fell apart at the end.

    The Beach i liked all the way through actually.

    I kinda hated the way Lawless ended.

    Good one. Great movie, but the ending seemed like it deserved something better.

    I'd put 'The Village' but it just kinda sucked the whole way through.

    No Country For Old Men. I can't even remember how it ended, I just remember it was disappointing.

    I loved the ending. The movie came full circle. The whole movie they talk about being invincible then he gets drunk falls through the ice gets pneumonia and dies

    It ended with Tommy Lee Jones talking about a dream. I kinda liked the ending.

    First Blood ending never really sat well with me. Big bad Rambo that waged war against everyone cuddled in a corner crying like a baby and being led out in cuffs?

    I dont follow baseball but i did know about the Red Sox winning 2 series. Thought it woulda been cool if Billie was there Gm.

    From Dusk til Dawn. Great movie then you go into a WTF moment in the Saloon.

    Not a movie, but I though this season of American Horror Story was good until the last episode, which killed it. I don't even know if I'll watch the next season.

    I thought the entire season was just too disjointed. I lost interest about half way through.
