Rashomon before Kurosawa chickens out and throws in the deus ex moral reprieve baby
I was about to post this! Just end it right when
. That would have been an interesting bittersweet ending.

Cut the last 15 seconds of Before Sunset.
Cut the last 5 minutes of Source Code.
The last minute of Midnight Special.

The last 15ish minutes of Logan Lucky where the karate kid (2) shows up out of nowhere to seemingly set up a sequel that will probably never happen.
AI.
End it at the Blue Fairy
Lol, i guess i should have read the first page before posting.
I'm also not a big fan of the last two minutes of Baby Driver
I need to watch it again, but I think i liked everything but the very end of Suspiria 2018

Oh my god, Logan Lucky is a perfect example of a movie that went on 20 minutes longer than it should have. What the fuck was that even about?

The end if Hereditary is awesome

On The Last Jedi, i would have moved around the scenes that leads to Rey liftings the boulders to before the last Luke scene and end the movie with Luke fading into the force.
Would have been a much stronger ending than random kid looking at the stars (wich would have been completely cut). To me at least.

I am legend would have been a pretty damn solid movie without that shitshow of an ending, of course cutting it early means no satisfactory conclusion in itself, but anything would be better than what we got. For me the movie ends when the dog dies (which is kind of fucked up to say...) but after that point what once was a pretty solid flick turns into a different far worse movie.
You ever read the book? The Will Smith film is top-to-bottom a trash adaptation.
It did, but producers demanded the happy ending to be shot and tacked on.
Not saying the first half was anything amazing or anything, but it was pretty decent up until that point. And no, I haven't, but I've seen the omega man.
Cut out the last minute of Big Hero 6.
Hiro finding a backup of Baymax after his sacrifice really soured me on that movie.
Ooh, A.I. and Dark Knight Rises are good suggestions.
The animated Animal Farm is a mostly faithful adaptation of the book, with strangely enough even more gruesome events (certain characters who were only hinted at dying get actual on-screen deaths, or at least much more heavily implied murders) however, they ruined the whole thing by
in the ending. If they cut all that, it'd be much better.
What was that one boring romance film that ended with the guy being in the World Trade Centre when 9/11 happened, and dying when the first plane hits? I don't know if it would have been a good movie even with that cut, but it sure as hell wouldn't have been as unfathomably insulting to the audience and filmmaking in general if it was gone and never considered.

having the animals form a second rushed revolution and storming in the manor to trample all the pigs to death

Yep, that intro alone would have been Pixar's best short along with Geri's Game. The entire movie, though? My second less favorite one, after Cars 2. It completely ruins everything that intro achieved.
It sucks how much it drags that movie down. It is a fairly enjoyable film, but then just fucking drags with that final stretch.
This would've confused a lot of people and would've robbed the movie out of one of the better endings to a blockbuster in recent memory.
...aaaand cut
buncha normies this is why marvel movies don't have any steaks and will never be kino
Hereditary should have just ended when
Likewise, same thing for those that already mentioned the problems with the ending of The VVitch.
Peter jumped out the window. Completely ruined the ending.

That's not a great adapation, either. You should read the book! It's not very long but it is very good.
100% i'd love to know what happened there because I'm pretty sure everyone who saw the film agrees with this sentiment.
Also, Seth Macfarlane's character is pointless, his entire little C-Story with the driver is so unnecessary and uninteresting.
That's two major chunks of the film centered around two extraneous characters that had no business being there.
I dunno, I really loved that final shot. Goofy, sure, but the whole movie is goofy in theory - witches living in the woods and Satan goats and all that? It's all stuff that hasn't been legitimately scary in over a century.
That's what I dig about it, though. It's an honest, unselfconscious adaptation of colonial American horror. When you buy into it completely (which I absolutely did), that ending shot is sublime.
He like...basically steals another mans life and body and erases him from existence and the implications of it are handwaved away in favor of a generic happy ending...when it's extremely fucked up.
When I saw Spielberg's AI in theaters, a projector malfunction caused the picture to blink, then cut out entirely, during the scene where the main character is begging the blue fairy to turn him into a real boy. I still think that's a far better ending than the one in the film.
I disagree, that last scene is necessary. It shows her full transition into madness and loss of humanity.
Harry Potter film 8. Cut the whole 20 years later thing. Horrible makeup, terrible names for the kids, overall just awful fan service.
For some reason I found the very end of Princess Mononoke to be incredibly unsatisfying and I say that as someone who loves 95% of that movie. The final shot of the Kodama is fine, it's the human stuff after the Forest Spirit collapses that just didn't work for me at all.
Probably wanted to avoid doing the same thing he did with his previous movie Inception. Would have been the exact same "???!"
Cut the last portions of The League of Extraordinary Gentleman and you've got yourself a pretty damn good movie.
