10 Movie Plot Twists That Punished Loyal Fans

10. The Random Giant Monster (The Cloverfield Paradox)

The first Cloverfield movie was a fantastic standalone flick that didn't need to become a franchise, but followup 10 Cloverfield Lane was surprisingly good, a claustrophobic thriller with a glorious John Goodman performance and a fun, monster-infused ending.

The Cloverfield Paradox, however, was a massive letdown. If viewed in a bubble it would probably come across as a solid sci-fi horror with a terrific cast of actors and some creative, stomach-turning death scenes. But we don't live in a bubble.

The main problem was how its marketing led us to believe that we'd get some definitive answers regarding the Cloverfield universe, with a specific focus on that original 2008 movie: where did the monster come from? What is it? Heck, the description box for the film's official trailer still reads "ten years ago, some thing arrived. Today, we now know why."

But that description was a complete lie. In one final twist, the movie leaves us with the head of an enormous Cloverfield monster poking through the sky. Its size means that it can't possibly be the same monster we first saw in 2008, so... where did it come from? What is it? Why is it so massive?

Fans had hoped for answers, but instead, they walked away with even more questions.
