Bad/stupid/improbable scenes of other wise good movies

The ending of The Abyss, when the big lame spaceship rises from the deep sea all the way to the surface.

The movie should have instead ended with a typed message from Ed Harris' character to the other survivors saying something like, "you're not going to believe this..."; then fade to credits and leave the rest to our imagination. Better than a big fake looking rubber spaceship... imho.

Man I like your ending so much more..

It is a problem with some movies.. they have a great climax which should be an ending, really getting you on an emotional high, but then they don't know when to friggin end! And at the end you walk of the theater thinking "meh" when you should've walked out feeling blown away.

Contact and A.I. are a couple other movies like this.

How was Contact's ending anything like this? I really liked the fact that it was open ended, Jodie Foster's character is the only one with any kind of alien experience, and it ends there rather than something cheesy with aliens coming to Earth or whatever.

I do agree with your general point though, and the movie The Last Samurai is a good example of this. If they would have ended the movie when the last samurai make their final charge against the Imperials it would have been lots better than how they ended it. Freakin' Hollywood.
