10 Good Movies That Completely Botched Their Final Act

1. Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull

Forgive the fact that Indy survives a nuclear blast by hiding in a fridge. Forgive the fact that the film had Shia LaBeouf in it. Indiana Jones' fourth outing is still a fun, action-packed thrill ride good enough - at the very least -as worthy popcorn fodder for a boring Sunday afternoon. Don't forgive the fact, though, that George Lucas decided to put big, stupid aliens in at the end. The way it looked straight at the camera, as if it was looking right at you, made us want to throw a fist through the screen and knock its teeth out. It's an absurd ending that cemented the fact that Lucas and Spielberg were out of ideas for the Indiana Jones franchise (because apparently mixing it with Star Wars was going to help it) and that the character should be laid to rest and remembered for everything that preceded the negatively oddball alien that can stare at people until they die and a spaceship hidden in a temple in the Amazon rainforest. Have I missed out a glaringly obvious film? Or are aliens in Indiana Jones a good thing? Whatever you think, be sure to comment below.
