Worst/Bad movie endings

[ForeverRoses]

Generally speaking, I hate any movie that ends by setting up a sequel.

I also didn't like the ending of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. I know the ending followed the epilogue of the book, but I didn't like the epilogue in the book either.

I actually didn't mind the epilogue (though it does bug me that everyone else I talked to actually saw the adult Draco and I missed him), what completely wierded me out what the fact that Harry broke the elder wand rather than restoring it to Dumbledore's crypt.

YES!!! I really wanted to see Harry's final talk with Dumbledore's portrait. Returning to wand to Dumbledore's tomb was Harry's way of peacefully accepting "what will be." Breaking it was taking fate into his own hands which he had thus far refused to do. That scene was totally against his character.

Agreed. And it's not like they didn't have time to do that either. They split the book in two, they had time. And don't even get me started on the 'King's Cross' scene. Sooooo baddddd.

Especially if a sequel is never done. An example would be the Planet of the Apes remake done with Mark Wahlberg. I actually enjoyed the movie but they left it for a sequel and nothing happened. I hate that!

Ugh, yes! I haven't read the books, but the ending of them all at the train station was so unnecessary, hokey, and unbelievable. The movie should have ended with them all on that bridge at Hogwarts.

Well the epilogue in the books was basically to let things come full circle and show how things are better including for Remus and Tonks's son. And remember the core of the movie watchers are those who have read the books. While the book readers represent that a *lot* had to be tweeked/deleted to make it into a movie, *that* scene was *not* going to get cut.

Besides, as I said upthread, the scene on the bridge isn't even in the book, in the book, after voldemort dies, Harry, Ron and Hermione go back to the Headmaster's office, talk to Dumbledore's photo, indicating that the want will be placed back in Dumbledore's Crypt and Harry heads back his room in Hogwarts...
