12 Great Action Movies Ruined By Terrible Endings
2. The Matrix Revolutions
There was no way we could keep one of the most infamous endings in action movie history off this list, and it’s fair to say that despite the incredible opening chapter of their famous action thriller sci-fi trilogy, the Wachowski Sisters more than earned this spot with the laughable closing scenes of the Matrix franchise.
The corny self sacrifice! The reveal that the leader of the machines, who is literally named “Deus Ex Machina”, is happy to settle on peace after all! The eventual ending where our hero becomes a computer virus!
Every techno-dystopia sci-fi cliché is present and cranked to eleven for this embarrassing ending, but at least the gloomily pretentious and endlessly self-serious tone is good for a few guilty laughs.
