- DirectorEthan CoenJoel CoenStarsTommy Lee JonesJavier BardemJosh BrolinViolence and mayhem ensue after a hunter stumbles upon the aftermath of a drug deal gone wrong and over two million dollars in cash near the Rio Grande.This movie had it all, a great story, Fantastic acting, and plenty of action to keep even the dumbest people on the edge of their seats. But the final 5 mins were just awful for 1 reason. NO closure. You have no idea what happens to Josh Brolens wife, no idea what happens to the villan and no idea what Tommey Lee Jones statement means in the end. Bottom line I hate movies with no closure
- DirectorM. Night ShyamalanStarsSigourney WeaverWilliam HurtJoaquin PhoenixA series of events tests the beliefs of a small isolated countryside village.The problem with M. Night Shyamalan now is that everyone expects a good twist at the end after the success of The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable. And when it is coming a mile away, it makes you wonder why you bothered in the first place! Really the town was cut off the whole time from society? and the "monsters" were just people playing a prank? GIVE ME A BREAK!
- DirectorM. Night ShyamalanStarsMel GibsonJoaquin PhoenixRory CulkinA widowed former reverend living with his children and brother on a Pennsylvania farm finds mysterious crop circles in their fields, which suggests something more frightening to come.The Aliens Weakness is.... WATER!!! YAY WATER!!! Then why come to earth where our planet is 80 percent the one thing that can KILL YOU!! THANK YOU M NIGHT!! THANK YOU!!
- DirectorPeter JacksonStarsElijah WoodViggo MortensenIan McKellenGandalf and Aragorn lead the World of Men against Sauron's army to draw his gaze from Frodo and Sam as they approach Mount Doom with the One Ring.A great movie!! top 5 all time even but when the movies climax is over which is Serien being Defeated, the movie takes 45 mins to end and that is just a bore fest
- DirectorGeorge A. RomeroStarsDuane JonesJudith O'DeaKarl HardmanA ragtag group of Pennsylvanians barricade themselves in an old farmhouse to remain safe from a horde of flesh-eating ghouls that are ravaging the Northeast of the United States.My favortie horror movie of all time but i still cant watch the last 5 mins when Ben is mistakin for a zombie and shot thats to painful to watch
- DirectorMartin ScorseseStarsLeonardo DiCaprioMatt DamonJack NicholsonAn undercover cop and a mole in the police attempt to identify each other while infiltrating an Irish gang in South Boston.Personaly the best movie with one of the worst endings. I dont like the way it was done, yes i was shocked the Leo was shot in the end but to kill every main character exept for Mark Walburg within a 30 min time frame killed this movie for me
- DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsHarrison FordCate BlanchettShia LaBeoufIndiana Jones becomes entangled in a Soviet plot to uncover the secret behind mysterious artifacts known as the Crystal Skulls.Some may think the whole movie was ridiculous, but really … a circle of crystal aliens coming to life, making things swirl around, blowing up the Spalkos head before said aliens zoom off into outer space in a subterranean space ship. Without even ruffling Indy’s fedora? Get real.
- DirectorM. Night ShyamalanStarsPaul GiamattiBryce Dallas HowardJeffrey WrightApartment building superintendent Cleveland Heep rescues what he thinks is a young woman from the pool he maintains. When he discovers that she is actually a character from a bedtime story who is trying to make the journey back to her home, he works with his tenants to protect his new friend from the creatures that are determined to keep her in our world.Ah, remember when M. Night Shyamalan knew from a good, heart-stopping twisty ending? Lady is supposed to be a bedtime story, in which any number of crazy things can happen, but really.. having Story get lifted away by a giant, unseen bird, while the apartment complex denizens look on
- DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsTom CruiseDakota FanningTim RobbinsAn alien invasion threatens the future of humanity. The catastrophic nightmare is depicted through the eyes of one American family fighting for survival.We didn’t mind that it was germs that did in the evil aliens. The first W of W, back in the ‘50s, worked fine that way not to mention the novel upon which they were based. But when Tom Cruise arrives in Boston to find that his ex-wife's neighborhood as been untouched and his whole family there, safe, waiting for him … well, this may be the worst of Steven Spielberg’s many too-perfect finales.
- DirectorRichard MarquandStarsMark HamillHarrison FordCarrie FisherAfter rescuing Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt, the Rebel Alliance attempt to destroy the second Death Star, while Luke struggles to help Darth Vader back from the dark side.The greatest sci-fi epic ever ends with teddy bears doing the chicken noodle dance
- DirectorAng LeeStarsEric BanaJennifer ConnellySam ElliottBruce Banner, a genetics researcher with a tragic past, suffers an accident that causes him to transform into a raging green monster when he gets angry.I really don’t know. The impenetrable bad lighting succeeded in hiding the poor special effects, but it also obstructed the last 10 minutes. I think Nick Nolte turns into a Hulk too and they Hulk it out, and there was electricity and an explosion and some army guys and maybe a tornado… I have no clue. A disappointing climax since the only other thing the Hulk fought in three dull hours was a pack of dogs.
- DirectorJames CameronStarsLeonardo DiCaprioKate WinsletBilly ZaneA seventeen-year-old aristocrat falls in love with a kind but poor artist aboard the luxurious, ill-fated R.M.S. Titanic.WHAT?!!? the ship is going to sink? No they dident!
- DirectorTim BurtonStarsMark WahlbergHelena Bonham CarterTim RothIn 2029, an Air Force astronaut crash-lands on a mysterious planet where evolved, talking apes dominate a race of primitive humans.One of the worst most unsatisfying endings ever, Mark is going win he is going home! only to have all the people be Apes what? &%#&%#*^**$&**&^ THATS SUCH BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- DirectorLana WachowskiLilly WachowskiStarsKeanu ReevesLaurence FishburneCarrie-Anne MossThe human city of Zion defends itself against the massive invasion of the machines as Neo fights to end the war at another front while also opposing the rogue Agent Smith.The war is over yay!! But Neo is dead BOOO!! But the Oracle seid he will be back YA.... what what what? NO he is dead and i dont see how he could come back and werent you absorbed by agent smith? this ending is full of plot holes
- DirectorPaul W.S. AndersonStarsMilla JovovichAli LarterWentworth MillerWhile still out to destroy the evil Umbrella Corporation, Alice joins a group of survivors living in a prison surrounded by the infected who also want to relocate to the mysterious but supposedly unharmed safe haven known only as Arcadia.This is 4 bad endings in one. Ok these movies were bad and if you saw my top 50 worst movies you will understand why i hate these movies. But i want this franchise to end and every one of these lame movies has a sequel set up ending REALLY? STOP IT PLEASE!! STOP BUTCHERING THIS FRANCHISE STOP WITH THESE SEQUELS!!
- DirectorMarc ForsterStarsEwan McGregorNaomi WattsRyan GoslingA psychiatrist attempts to prevent one of his patients from committing suicide while trying to maintain his own grip on reality.None of it was real!...well except for the car crash. Lemme explain: Gosling and his girlfriend were using drugs while driving and got into a car crash, and that was the ONLY real thing in this movie. The rest of it was all just some acid trip/dream while he was unconscious after the crash. Uh-huh. BS!!! I HATE HATE HATE endings that show you that the whole movie was made up. THEN WHY THE *beep* DID I EVEN BOTHER TO SEE THIS FILM AT ALL!!!
- DirectorJonathan MostowStarsBruce WillisRadha MitchellVing RhamesSet in a futuristic world where humans live in isolation and interact through surrogate robots, a cop is forced to leave his home for the first time in years in order to investigate the murders of others' surrogates.: The guy who started that rebellion thingy stating that humans shouldn't be using surrogates...well it turns out that he himself has been a surrogate THE WHOLE TIME (Despite metal detectors all over the town). But who is the driver? Why, it's the scientist guy from I,Robot who is also the same guy who invented the surrogates. Wait, what? The guy who invented them in the first place is the same guy who's against them? And in order to be against them he has to use a surrogate? And he says that his creation is terrible despite the fact that he is using it in order to be some voice for the real people? Am I still in the real world? Is Bruce Willis actually a talking monkey with multiple personality disorder? Is there an explanation for all the hypocritical garbage? Bruce Willis has blonde hair? wergfiyyycgADFJAGSCFECUGEYWDFYASCDGQgfier
- DirectorAsger LethStarsSam WorthingtonElizabeth BanksJamie BellAs a police psychologist works to talk down an ex-con who is threatening to jump from a Manhattan hotel rooftop, the biggest diamond heist ever committed is in motion.Yes the plot was unbelieveable but isnt that most movies nowadays? I was willing to forgive this movie for its bad plot...then with about 35 mins left in the movie i knew how it was going to end, the brother and the girlfriend get to the vault and find that the diamond isnt there and leaves empty handed and Sam Worthington is going to jail right? WRONG instead The bad guy(Ed Harris) opens his sceret wall with the secret vault with the diamond that would prove Sams innocence, all he has to do is put it back in the vault and noone would find it, if they didnt find it the first time what makes you think they will find it the 2nd time, but what does he do? he puts it in his jacket pocket!!! WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!! All he had to do is put it back and BOOM MOVIE OVER!! BUT NO then i called the ending scene by scene then Sam ges to Ed punches him and gets the diamond and proves his didnt steal it!!! YEPPPIE!!! NO B**L S**T!!!! WORST ENDING AND MOVIE OF 2012 SO FAR!!
- DirectorCurtis HansonStarsKevin SpaceyRussell CroweGuy PearceAs corruption grows in 1950s Los Angeles, three policemen - one strait-laced, one brutal, and one sleazy - investigate a series of murders with their own brand of justice.The film, so good, the ending, so crappy. Way overdone. Is it believable to watch Crowe get shot five, six, seven, eight times all over his body and still be able to get up? HAHAHA NO I felt the last scenes were just a little out of place.
- DirectorJoel SchumacherStarsJim CarreyVirginia MadsenLogan LermanWalter Sparrow becomes obsessed with a novel that he believes was written about him, as more and more similarities between himself and his literary alter ego seem to arise.Finds a book and Jim makes all these weird connections to his life, which is what the whole movie was about, figuring out in the end that he was the one who wrote it. WTF what a COP OUT!!
