10 Movies They Didn't Know How To End

2. Glass

M. Night Shyamalan's long-awaited finale to his unexpected superhero trilogy ended in the most flatly disappointing, anti-climactic fashion earlier this year, that's for sure.

Glass was touted as the epic final showdown between the heroic David Dunn aka The Overseer (Bruce Willis), split-personality monster Kevin Wendell Crumb aka The Horde (James McAvoy) and genius supervillain Elijah Price aka Mr. Glass (Samuel L. Jackson).

And though the film builds solidly enough to its inevitable final fight, only the fate of Mr. Glass himself is particularly satisfying, dying after having most of the bones in his body broken by The Horde.

The Horde is meanwhile shot dead by a sniper in largely unceremonious fashion, but the kicker? Dunn, our illustrious hero, is drowned in a puddle by an anonymous goon working for Dr. Ellie Staple (Sarah Paulson), a member of a secret society suppressing the existence of superhumans.

The surviving relatives and friends of the three characters are then left to upload video footage of their superhuman actions to YouTube for the world to see, and that's...basically it.

Granted, this isn't exactly a new problem for Shyamalan - he's brilliant with elemental concepts, but when it comes to delivering a satisfying climax, he so often botches it with excessive attempts to surprise the audience, whether it makes sense or not.

Shyamalan recently admitted that the bad reviews for Glass made him cry, but when you off your hero in the most unsatisfying manner possible, what the hell do you expect?
