What's up with the good movies falling flat at the end? I go to the movies to watch a movie and it's good, got action, got suspence, and finally the ending comes and it's an total let down. Or the one that's got me on the edge of my seat then the story starts trailing off. Like they didn't know how to end the story?

The first movie that came to my mind is "I am Legend". I was really disappointed at the end when Will Smith died. For me that end was just stupid. Another one was Vantage Point, brilliant plan and than one agent discovers everything!

Yeah, that movie did end crummy. But that's how the story ends, too. And if you were to see all three versions of that movie, the doctor dies at the end of each one.

I've been seeing alot of movieslike that lately. It's either the movie or a ceratain character in a movie that seems to be the most interesting that ends up not having enough parts or gets killed off, which makes you loose interest in the film. A few examples for me would be "Tropic Thunder". The movie was stupid. But Robert Downey and Tom Cruise should have been the main characters n this film. I have not been a fan of the characters that Ben Stiller has played in some of his movies. He was not funny in this movie at all. Robert Downey being dressed up in black face and trying to act black, and Tom Cruise's character were the only things that made me laugh. Then towards the end Robert Downey pulls off his make up and I loose interest in his character.

Another film would be Sin City. The only character I had any interest in was Marv. That was the guy with the big ugly face played by Mickey Rourke. I rented this movie from blockuster, and after Marv died I wanted to press the eject button. This was the 1st time I had to force myself to sit through a movie. Partly because I was so convinced that he didn't die and was going to pop up somewhere at the end. A character like that needs his own screen time.

And then there's Hell Boy 2. I thought it was pretty good. But the end disapointed me. He finds out his girl is pregnant. I was really waiting to see a bunch of little hell babies running around at the end. But what do I get. She tells Hell Boy she's expecting twins, he turns around and looks at her and the movie goes off. What the hell kind of ending is that. It seems like the directors are not putting very much effort into the ending of their movies these days. It's like they're getting tired and lazy from working on a film for so long that they half do the job just to get the movie finished. It's kind of like the last season of the Sopranos. They just filmed a bunch of crap at the end very quickly just to get it over with.

Tropic Thunder, I saw the movie but I really don't remember it. I know that the guys thought that they was in the jungle and thought that they were shooting a film, but was really there. Sorry, don't really remember the movie it's self. The funniest part that I do remember is when they all get out of the coptor, and the director tells him to follow him, he gives this great big speech that they should listen to him, then he steps on a landmine and blowsup. And they all say good effects!
Sin City, I tried watching that movie all the way through, I don't know how many times. But it was just too long for me. I always wound up shutting it off because something would always come up. And eventually, I just lost interest in the movie.
I thought Hellboy2 was pretty good, myself. As for the ending, yeah it did suck. And I did expect to see little red demons flying around the labor room. But no, maybe they're saving that for the next movie.
As for the sopranos, I watched a few shows, Always wanted to watch the whole series, just haven't done it. I heard that the last season sucked. Maybe I'll just leave it alone.
