10 Recent Films That Totally Blew The Ending

Few were expecting much good out of The New Mutants, and while hardly anything special, it also wasn't the pure trainwreck many were anticipating.

If nothing else, it was a rarest of superhero movies with a genuine, front-and-center gay relationship, and Anya Taylor-Joy's performance as Magik was a ton of giddy fun.

As so many superhero films do, though, The New Mutants ultimately diverged into a generic mish-mash of CGI nonsense in the final stretch, with the young mutants taking on the entity known as Demon Bear.

But even the promise of splashy digital schlock was short-lived, as the battle soon enough concluded with Mirage (Blu Hunt) simply calming Demon Bear into passivity.

The mutants then find the forcefield trapping them in the facility broken, allowing them to venture off together into the big, wide world.

Between the ropey effects work and the fact that it teases a sequel we all know isn't ever happening, it's a total damp squib shoulder shrug of an ending.
