This is the one. I watched it before I was a dad, and now I'm pretty sure I'll never watch it again because I don't want to think about that.

Movie Endings That Made You Legitimately Angry

Great answer. I legit was like "are you fucking kidding me?" Which, to be fair, was probably the reaction the filmmakers wanted.
Less great answer: Disney's Tarzan. The part with her elderly father staying with them and being able to swing from the trees has pissed me off for 20 years.
Law Abiding Citizen
In fact the last act of the movie completely devalues the first two thirds of it...

The book's a pretty decent read overall. It just gets odd for lack of a better word.
The author actually prefers the film's ending and wishes that he had thought of it. But yeah, the book's ending goes places, to put it mildly.
I'll probably have to say The Dark Knight.
Why do Gordon and Batman feel like they need to pin Dent's murders on... Batman. If you're going to lie ... blame it on the crazy serial killer/terrorist who has made his actions pretty well known and public. CHRIST.

Ditto. There are some movies that evoke a strong, negative emotional response from me . . . But in a good way. I actually like it when a movie keeps me up at night, tossing and turning as I come to terms with a gut-punch ending. Thoroughbreds also comes to mind.
The angriest I've ver been at the end of a movie was the end of Jacob's Ladder.
And there's a new movie coming out, so that's all that I'll say.

I can't say it actually made me angry but the ending of Arrival. This line specifically,
"I've had my head tiled up to the stars for as long as I can remember. You know what surprised me the most? It wasn't meeting them. It was meeting you."
Lame af. An all time terrible line of dialogue in an otherwise good movie.

The last 1/3 of Sunshine.
Such a great man vs nature sci-fi thriller turned into a lens flare slasher flick for the last third. Beautiful imagery at the end couldn't save it from the hard twist.
Never read the book, but Ready Player One has the main character decide to turn off the oasis every Tuesday or some shit to force people to live life by his standards and that really ruined the movie for me.
This and the "love transcends space and time" horseshit. I was totally on board with the movie up till that point
I'm actually glad the ending wasn't typical. Shocking definitely.
Why do you think that would be the case? Brand went to Edmunds's planet which wasn't anywhere near Gargantua, so time dilation wouldn't be a factor at all. Both Brand and Coop went through the same exact instances of time dilation previously, so they aged the same prior to their separation. By the time Coop gets back to her, at most a few months will have passed.

Eh, if the world's biggest MMORPG has such a chokehold on life that your ISP will send a death squad after you for it, you should probably tone it down
The Mist has one of the best endings to a movie of all time. The balls to do it. Love that movie because of the ending. The Holy Mountain also has one of the greatest but I was young and probably smoking pot when I saw it lol Can't think of one that made me legit angry.
Once Upon A Time In Hollywood's ending is ghoulish trash that ruins a movie I was greatly enjoying up to that moment.
This. And I have been preaching this for years and it infuriates me here when people will hold it up as good or say the twist works and then bash David Cage when it commits the same sin as heavy rain.
A twist should make logical sense, be hidden and then when revealed alter previous scenes. When you find out she's the killer you should be able to look back and see it, maybe even have it fill in what seemed like a plot hole or lack of information.
High Tension howeverdoes what Heavy Rain did and straight lies to the audience and with no groundwork or logic says "here is a twist, bet you didn't see that coming" and the answer is of course we didn't see it, it's illogical and flys in the face of everything we have watched.
The worst example is giving the "killer" their own look and personality, doing things she couldn't have "like killing the whole family while she is hiding in the closet with someone else" and shares more than one scene with her the killer and victim with all three interacting that all of a sudden becomes moot. Even the argument of unreliable narrator doesn't work when the movie is not just from her view and includes the killers view in areas where they are solitary and seperate from her.
Yeah this one REALLY bugs me and I have never understood how it gets so many people to cape for it.

Happy Death Day 2 U. Loved Happy Death Day, was very hyped for Happy Death Day 2 U, it lived up to and even exceeded that hype for the vast majority of the movie, and then the last 10 or 15 minutes just balls up all the good writing they'd done to that point and throws the entire movie in the trash. Some movies have meh endings or bad endings but that was the only one that actually made me angry since the movie was so good up to that point that I was really excited for the ending until they just ran out of ideas.
All that, and...
...the movie doesn't even realize that it has an out with the physical impossibility of the heroine having to drive two vehicles that was just as simple as making it so that she retrieves her friend from the trunk of her car instead of what should have been an imaginary truck, since that would have solved the issue of how she would have gotten her injuries while still keeping her friend in the same proximity. It really is David Cage-tier writing.
Why did I get married Too does some literal character assassinations that pissed me off greatly.
This is the first movie that popped into my head. Gordon's ending speech is word salad.
I dont think you can list a movie that made you mad intentionally. Like you are supposed to be angry at the end of the Big Short. Maybe Gone Girl too, I guess.
I dont think thats what the thread was about though.

I remember now that I was mad at the end of Infinity War. Like, how fucking dumb do you think I am? You're trying to make people cry over this Spider-Man death when people know FULL WELL he has another film on the docket. Just so inconsequential that I was annoyed I went through the trouble of seeing it opening night.
I don't think any film/show/book has ever made me angry, I read a book on North Korea once that maybe came close but that was more sad/slightly annoyed.
The original Dredd movie with Stalone...I walked out when I went to see it at the cinema when he took his helmet off, but my wife said that i should give it another go.
So we sit down and I power through him taking off his helmet. A few odd bits ( ABC Warrior cameo? ) and was enjoying it in a guilty kind of way.
The ending though had me fuming...who the fuck thought it was a good idea to have Dredd start kissing Judge Anderson?!?!

The ending to The Mist is literally hilarious. It's so forced and over the top. I guess it does kind of invoke Greek tragedy in a way but I found it to be like almost a parody of itself
There's an underrated movie with a somewhat pre-fame Michael Shannon called Take Shelter that I think is under-appreciated...but the ending to me kind of ruins some of the themes and messages of the movie. I won't spoil it, you should still watch it cause it's a good movie. If anything it's more relevant than ever in the catastrophic-climate-change-seems-inevitable era.

I haven't seen the film yet but what were you expecting considering what its based off of?
Movie is just tragic. One of my all time favorites still.
Alfreds redemption is amazing though.
the last part of arrival made me go "ah fuck off" and kinda soured the movie for me
just thought it was hokey and stupid
The end of AI and Knowing. Ai because I was I already angery at how dumb the movie was then they had that ending? It took stupidity to another level. I wanted my money back.
Knowing because the movie was legit good and wasted it on an awful ending. I was more mad about the wasted potential of the move then the ending itself though.

After seeing your post I had to reply lol. The ending, in my opinion, makes re-watches interesting. I respect your opinion though.
