Most disappointing ending for a book, movie or video game [Possible Spoilers]

[Sprightlymonkey]

Fable 3 is worse, everyone lives if your aprick, but if your nice thee is noone to be nice to WTF

the ending to Silent Hill Shattered Memories.

1: God of War 3 - The whole ruin the world thing leading up to killing Zeus and the weird dream thing. They had 5 different endings and used them all at once.
2: Black - A PS2 game from 2006 that set itself up for a sequel and nothing came.

 

[The Creeping Horror]

My vote is for Human Centipede as that is the worst ending I've personally witnessed. I don't watch very many movies nor do I play very many games and what the hell is a "book"?

I am currently writing a book (Though I doubt it'll ever be published)with my idea of a bad ending. I'll give you a hint. Protagonist dies and main conflict is never resolved. The end. Cthulhu fhtagn!

I thought Harry Potter 7 had a disappointing ending. Hell, my hopes for the book were so low after the depression-fest that was HP6, that I torrented it rather than buying it. I only read it once, and it lived down to my expectations.

It seemed to me like the author was fed up with the series and just wanted to end it. I don't think it even had a proper ending. It practically jumped from "Voldemort's dead" to "Nineteen years later..." without any sort of winding down.

My nomination:
No Country for Old Men, a movie that followed the main characters' conflict and action only to have the climax happen off screen!

Llewyln Moss was not the main character of that movie, and the shoot out with the Mexicans in the motel was not the climax.

Worst ending for me? Seven Pounds. The thing glorified suicide for God's sake.

I know what you mean, at least Million Dollar Baby presented it with the appropriate sadness and complexity.

Fable II. Done.

 

[Squidden]

Knowing and 2012.

Can't Hollywood just sack up and end the world already? Shit man. Don't think of some loophole where the protagonists happen to avoid annihilation.

For me, the most disappointing ending has to be either The X-Files or Star Trek: Voyager. Movie wise, I would say that Splice has to rank high. Others in this thread had already eloquently explained why that sucked.

 

[AnAngryMoose]

The ending to Hydrophobia.

Spoiler

You find Mila, kill her, take the antidote and the game ends. You don't even get to find out what happens to Scoot or the Queen of the World. You just black out and the credits roll.

Mirror's Edge was quite unsatisfying, somehow. Don't really know why, but you can tell it was rushed.

 

[Wintermoot]

"Duizend Kilometer"(a Thousand Kilometers) it ended with only 2/6 characters, endings resolved.
Anime:
Angel Beats the ending felt terribly rushed with stuff like "it happed in the time skip" and "we were happy all along" I would have rather seen a few more episodes centered around the other characters.(like the Yui episode) maybe a episode for T.K. or Shiina (I was really interested in what they where in life)
