10 Movie Endings That Were Profoundly Insulting

2. Fantastic Four

Whether you blame volatile director Josh Trank or a meddlesome studio in Fox, there's no doubt that 2015's Fantastic Four reboot is a deeply terrible film filled with wrong-headed creative calls.

Rather aptly, though, it saves the worst for last with the atrocious cherry-on-top that is its hilariously awful final scene, which desperately teases a sequel that of course never happened.

The final scene has the titular, still-unnamed superheroes gathering together to reflect on their battle against Doctor Doom (Toby Kebbell), where they try to settle on a name for their supergroup.

After The Thing (Jamie Bell) says that their progress has been "fantastic", Reed Richards (Miles Teller) gets a lightbulb moment and asks him to repeat it. Just as Richards prepares to announce the team's titular moniker, we cut to the film's closing titles.

For starters, Avengers: Age of Ultron did almost the exact same ending far more successfully barely three months earlier with its "Avengers, assemble!" tease, while Fantastic Four served up an agonisingly contrived attempt to conclude on a fist-pumping high.

The performances, the direction and worst of all the writing are all totally off here, and in a film rife with risible moments, it must surely be the worst.
