Jurassic Park II A common complaint that you'll hear from movie-goers the world over is: "Jesus, that movie should have ended far sooner than it did. Why did it go on for so long?" And it's true that filmmakers don't always seem to know when to call it quits.

With that in mind, here are 10 famous movies that felt like they ended far too quickly, all of which had us collectively frowning in the aisles wondering, "Hey, is that it?" Please Note: There are spoilers for the all the movies mentioned in this article (I've tried to keep them to a minimum, because I respect you like that).
