Identity, by a massive margin for me anyway. Last 1/3 makes you feel like they were just taking the pi$$ for the first 2/3, there is absolutely no reason to care about anything that's going on after that. And it was pretty good up to then.

Agreed on Jeepers Creepers, it went from being a half decent atmospheric horror to panto.

Source Code - there was a perfect moment to end but then they had this weird tacked on happy ending due to the US test audiences being retards

...and End of Watch.
...and The Descent (US print).
...and Oblivion.

To name but 3 that have been spoiled the same way.

The Dark Knight Rises should have ended with Michael Caine sat at the cafe and half-smiling.

Did you realise Jeepers Creepers and its sequel was written and directed by a convicted pedophile? If you watch Jeepers Creepers, and particularly Jeepers Creepers 2 from the perspective that the monster is a metaphor for the director's sexual urges it becomes a deeply disturbing thing.

I that Shawshank ended with Red walking up to a big old tree to find a box with some money in it?

Collateral - All the way through the film I wanted Jamie 'mumbles' Foxx to get killed.

Prometheus. Plots holes everywhere and a half-assed nod (the Builder Alien) to fanboys that completely ignores the established canon.

Downfall. Would have been a better ending if the Germans had won.

Well anyone with any taste knows the Director's Cut is shite.

2001 - no words
๐Ÿ˜ฏ ๐Ÿ™„
I have no idea where to begin with this statement.
But then I saw it as a 14yo, in 1968. You obviously have no historical context with which to evaluate it.

Why's that, then?

Well OK not the ending. But I miss the narrative by Deckard in the original. It makes it more Film Noir.

As for 2001, I would suggest anyone trying to make any sense of it at all should read the book.

Every Stephen King film.

That was my first thought when I read the title but then I remembered the ending of "The Mist" which was an unexpected twist and totally different to the usual Hollywood "it was alright in the end" nonsense.

But yeah, every other Stephen King film ever.
