Have you ever read a book or watched a movie only to have the ending suck? What movie/book? (I.E. Doom Stone by Paul Zindel, and Stephen King's Cell both had horrible endings)

The Pearl by Steinbeck

I read "Birdong" by Sebastian Faulkes. I love the book, I think it is really beautiful and such a page turner. I was really let down by the ending though! Also, "Chocolat", I enjoyed pretty much all of the book but I thought the film was really poor. I didn't care for that ending either!

I was sorely disappointed in the ending of "No Country for Old Men".

I didn't like the ending to The Wrestler. SPOILER ALERT IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT: He didn't have to kill himself in the ring like that. I would have understood it better if the girl hadn't have come to him at the end. Rejecting her and committing suicide instead just made him look stupid. It's still a really good film though and Mickey Rourke is awesome in it. And I love IT by Stephen King but the ending is very anticlimatic.

I'm almost always disappointed by endings of TV/movies/books. Too many to list.

Stephan King's movie 'The Mist' had a piss poor ending, what a waste. So did the movie 'Premonition'

I can't remember the names, but I just hate movies that end too soon when they could have gone another five minutes with a more complete ending. It's like, he leaves the girl and heads off into yonder, then changes he's mind and races back to her and everything stops. Its over. You'd like to at least see him ride back into town, find he's girl, there eyes meet, and the rush together and live happily ever after, end of movie. It would be more completed then the first ending.

Cell No Country for Old Men

Went to the cinema to watch Butterfly Effect when it came out and the ending was fantastic. Rented the same movie out when it was released and the ending was different and CRAP. I have never watched it again.

I was hugely disappointed with the ending to the film of Stephen King's 'IT', I'm sorry but a big, intergalactic spider just isn't very scary, frankly they should have stuck with Pennywise the clown!

You stole my answer. Cell immediately came to mind. I was bitterly disappointed.

You mention Stephen King in your question, and I must say when I was reading Stephen King there were several of his books that I stopped reading within 100 pages of the end because his endings are so often let downs. The only one I can remember doing that with is Salems Lot, but I know there were at least 3 others. His writing is so good, but his endings are often flat. Not so much the ending, but the 5th book in the Harry Potter series was the worst book I have ever forced myself to finish. A perfect example of why books are edited by people other than the author (I refuse to believe anyone but the author herself edited this book). I loved the series and that's why I had to finish the 5th book. Not much in it except worthless writing.

This movie was incredible and the ending was necessary, but "Gone Baby Gone" was so hard to deal with. I couldn't stand how it ended, but it was so brilliant. Way to go, Casey Afflick.

I just finished a book called "The Book Of Murder", which I was really enjoying up until the last couple of chapters, then it all just got ridiculous.

John Gresham is one author that has no clue how to end a book. So many films have loused-up endings-it's the few that didn't that are memorable.
