Bad movies with good endings

I wanna say Predator 2, but I should rewatch it.
I remember it is as a standard cop movie -- until you get to the ending, that expands on the intrigue of the predators in a fun, vague way.
Could just be that Danny Glover is the iconic cop guy to me and that clouds my memory.

Wrong Life movie. LOL This one came out in 2017
The one you're thinking about was from 1999. And it's a GREAT movie.
Mission Impossible 2.
A chore to watch and then... BAM! Running, explosions, car chase, gun fights, helicopter shooting shit, and an epic martial arts 1 vs 1 on the beach.

I didn't care for the film but watch it anyway you may like it.
I love this thread because I completely forgot about Escape from LA's ending.
Shit ass movie with a TERRIBLE basketball sequence, but that ending was fucking on point.

Another poster pointed out to me that there are two movies named Life. I was thinking of the Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence film, lol
I personally think Split's ending {the last 40 minutes or so) make the film work. Up until then, it could have ended as a bad film for me.
The first time I saw that film, the ending was such a relief it made me think the film was really good until I watched it again.
I only need to think about this movie, to hear Ray Charles in my mind
It's a wonderful moment of a score truly elevating a sequence, right?
That scene makes the whole movie worth it. Even if the film is not as good, the existence of this movie is justified with that scene. It gives me goosebumps each time I see it.
Jeepers Creepers
I thought the movie was boring, but the last 2 minutes were really good and effective horror.

It's not a movie, but Final Fantasy XV was a game I did not enjoy that had an ending I felt belonged in a much better game.
This is my choice as well. The final scene where he announces he's john connor is pretty cool.
God being played by Alanis Morissette sours me less on Dogma.
Abandoning the class struggle plot for a basic robot uprising plot kind of cheapened the movie. I don't think it made the whole movie bad though. I consider it to be a worthy successor to the 1927 German version, even though it's an adaptation of a manga.
Depends who you ask. My wife and I both thought it was a pretty average to bad movie. Overall it seems to have a good reception though.
Godfather 3 has a pretty solid ending.
I generally recommend that people watch it once (and never again) just to see how Michael's story ends, which is basically its only worthwhile contribution to the trilogy.

Yeah. I actually thought the ending was pretty fitting. Like I kind of felt like they deserved that ending just for being such a let down
Yup. Aside from the bro camp scene, it didn't earn its ending at all. Those final 6 or so chapters where an absolute mess, patchwork of barely explained story and lore because so much was cut, that left such a sour taste after the flawed but still followable first half.
Then this bittersweet ending comes in and for a blissful couple minutes after the logo changed, I forgot about the bullshit I had endured. It was a weird feeling

Yep came to post the same. I really like the whole "no matter how many times you will travel in time and try to fix it Judgment Day will come anyways" narrative.
It thematically made sense as well since John Connor was the son of Kyle Reese so there was evidence it was a closed loop right from the start.
I think I only saw the sequel haha.
There's a third one coming...Skylin3s.
The first has some redeemable qualities - it was entertaining enough with some of its action scenes, decent effects and alien designs (plus the fact that the aliens destroy us is always a bonus in my book)... It wasn't a total catastrophe of movie making, compared to the pathetic sequel at least.
I had no idea about the third movie! Looks like I'm gonna have to buy a bigger bong.
It has Lindsay Morgan, so even if the movie sucks monkeyballs at least I have something to look at :P
Okay okay the sequel has at least one redeeming quality :)
..and she's actually returning the the third! Wasn't expecting that.
Looks like it'll release mid December.
Eh, I'll give it a download I 'spose
My pick as well. Was actually the first movie of the series I saw, and it didn't impress me much. But then the ending came. How she throws herself down there is such a great moment and started my love for the character. Never forgot how stunned it left me.
