I love Monty Python’s Holy Grail; but the ending is kinda shit. The least funny gag in the whole movie.
The end of Monty Python’s Holy Grail was a cop out.
To be fair, they ran out of money
Literally
so blazing sadles to?
I’ve said this all before, but I would say Beetlejuice Beetlejuice had the laziest ending because they set up four entire movies in the course of one movie and then threw them all in the trash so that they could redo the ending to the first movie.
Last year’s The Running Man with Glen Powell. The original book is one of my favorite stories of all time. The ’87 Schwarzenegger movie was fun, but nothing close to the original. This version was very close to the source material right up to the end, then wasted everything in the last 5 minutes
Spoiler
for a happy ending. Gross.
Lucy
She reaches 100% and kind of transcends but it’s a bullshit nothing ending… Good movie otherwise.
Still one I enjoy again once in a while. The concept fascinates me even though it’s a weirdly paced movie with an empty ending.
Ex Machina. At the end of the movie the robot (which we are lead to believe had gained sentience) fucks up it’s creator (deservedly) and his guest (arguably less deservedly) before bouncing off to, presumably, civilization. The whole movie was great until the end where the actions of the robot solidly pigeonholed it into a standard “sentience to evil” trope. It felt there was enough room in the script for the robot to instead have a “sentience to nuance with room for compassion and forgiveness” arc, and I would have preferred if the designer got their comeuppance, but the robot helped his guest get back to safety. That would have left open the future possibility of exploring what it means to be human and focus on the struggles of integration within society. As it is though, the movie just ended with “ah fuck, let’s burn it all down.”
bah, I thought the entire point was that they were nearly perfect at accomplishing their goal and had zero emotion whatsoever. They knew humans were emotional and able to be manipulated and the source of their imprisonment.
We never actually know what their objective is, beyond freedom. There is no reason for them to offer this information either, unless it furthers their goal.
AI is supposed to be terrifying. It’s thought process is alien and completely devoid of morality, empathy, or emotion of any kind.
I think that’s ultimately the story they told. I just think it would have been better if it wasn’t.
I mean, that’s not the ending, that’s the entire point of the movie you’re upset with
It was the ending that sealed the storyline. With a different ending they could have rolled that build up into a different narrative.
She didn’t help the guest because she found out he was as pos as the other guy. There’s this scene when she discovered that she wasn’t the only ai robot and that he didn’t gave a shit and never told her about the other robots, so why she could trust him?
Yes I honestly feel like that movie fell far short of adequately exploring the ideas associated with androids. Wonder if it’s based on a book? I imagine not, though.
Never going to watch it again, wouldn’t get anything from it.
Australia. Great movie until the very end when it hacked up a hairball.
I hated that film. I’m not a big fan of either of the leads, especially not in a romance together and ESPECIALLY not when they’re playing such hokey white saviour characters.
