    I’ve just gone through 101 mins of ‘All is Lost’

    I like Robert.

    I liked the type of film.

    I was ‘enjoying’ it.

    The ending makes me want to punch a baby cuckoo in the genitals.

    The Italian Job.

    All it takes is Caine to pass back one ingot at a time, and gradually shift the weight. But no, they do that silly to and fro malarkey.

    Most endings bore me senseless. It has to be a special film to stop me turning off towards the end.

    I think this is for two reasons:

    A) Films are all about the journey for me, so the ending is somewhat irrelevant.
    B) Car chases and the gradual build-up of tension are so hackneyed these days that they end up ruining an otherwise good film. A classic case for me if the last Batman film, which was excellent, up until the cliche-ridden final act.

    Baby cuckoos are evil little shits who deserve a knee in the nadgers at least.

    Now, if you were to punch a baby quokka, we’d be having stern words

    Alien Resurrection. God that had a bad ending. Even for a shit film. Tim Burton’s Planet of the Apes, that was retarded. Prometheus, guff. I am Legend, dung. Indiana Jones and the Shit skull, ****.

    Lucy – I stuck with it to see how bad a film could be – I regret my decision.

    The Shawshank Redemption.

    With the crappy “US” audience ending that has the make-you-a-bit-sick-in-your-mouth beach meeting scene.

    The WHOLE point of the film, the ENTIRE premise and the defining concept is HOPE. Red has numerous monologues where he uses the word “HOPE” a lot. Therefore, at the end, when Red has been released on parole, and Dufresne has escaped, we DON’T need to see them meeting on the beach. The film should end on the greyhound bus scene, where the bus slowly drives off into the distance over the rolling Buxton farmland, and Red says “I hope i will see my friend again” etc

    Then they tack on that crappy, puke inducing, out of character and point defeating terrible beach meeting scene and the previous 90mins of a film about HOPE are completely negated……ARGHHHHHHH!!!!

    Every Stephen King film.

    And most action films, where they spend the first half of the movie developing a story, the characters, something you become immersed in… Then the second half consists of people being shot, jumping about in the air, explosions, speeding cars, crashes, and a whole lot of boredom. It’s like watching a bad porn.

    Sunshine was bollocks, the last quarter was like an entirely different film to what had gone before and ruined what was up to then a pretty good film

    Se7en. The ending REALLY winds me up. The audience should never know what’s in the box…

    Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

    I rarely watch films but it might have been lord of the rings that had about 9 endings just to let the idiots know that everything was OK. Was that the film with the giant birds dropping stones? Why not get them to drop the stones at the start of the battle and save a few lives.

    Nope. There were no stones dropped by giant birds. Was there? However, Gandalf, the f***ing prick joy rides the life out of a big eagle right at the start by whispering to a moth. Then 9 years later, in the third film he tongues a moths ear and convinces the moth to sweet talk an eagle to pick up Frodo and Bilbo, saving them from certain boily lava related death.

    Why the absolute f*** did he not just say to Frodo right at the beging, here jump on this big eagle. It’ll take you straight to Mount Doom, **** the ring in, job’s a good ‘un. Do well.

    But if you didn’t know what was in the box, what Brad Pitt does next wouldn’t make sense and if they changed that the killer’s project would not have been completed.

    The Babadook has to be up there for me as a film that’s otherwise quite watchable.

    maxtorque, I so kind of agree re the shawshank redemption, but I invested so much emotion in that film, I was glad to have an excuse for the happy tears to come in the end!
    And yes, I have drunk most of a bottle or red wine.
    I’ve also just watched Blackfish. A brilliant documentary film, the ending of which only lets you down when you realise that little or nothing has changed.

    @Lucky, I quite liked the end of the Babadook, all felt excellently cracked.

    I had to nip out for a wee before the end… is it not Marcellus Wallace’s soul?

    The Pilot, couldn’t agree more about Blackfish. 40 years later, nothing’s changed and no one seems that bothered!

    I just think you should be left wondering why he reacts like he does.

    Just me then?

    Nortwind, Perhaps I need to watch it again! I saw it at the cinema and remember thinking that it seemed a little like nobody really knew how to end it. To be fair I do think that about a lot of films and novels though.

    Paris Texas, I want Travis to get Nastassja Kinski back.

    Not the end but I can’t watch saving private Ryan as that upham really gets on my tits. And I sometimes watch the first hour or whatever it is of the deer hunter up until they go to war as I think that is the best part of the film and De niro gets on my tits.

    Midnight express, one of my favourite films.
    My DVD came with a documentary featuring the real matey on whom the film is based. He makes me wish he never makes it out of the big house.
