12 Incredible Endings To Otherwise Terrible Movies

1. The Lone Ranger (2013)

Armie Hammer has done remarkably well to get his career back on track after it came so close to hitting the skids with Disney's wayward The Lone Ranger remake. It was a bloated, over-expensive mess that simply wasn't entertaining enough and tried way too hard to do for the property what Pirates Of The Caribbean had previously.

It's not entirely irredeemable, but it's hard to feel particularly enthusiastic about it when it fails so miserably to make something interesting of itself. This should have been a popcorn blockbuster but it ended up being too long and too boring and by the time anything really starts happening in the final act, most attention spans will have slipped away.

But if you managed to stay awake, you were rewarded by a stunning final sequence where Gore Verbinski actually earns his director's paycheck. It's like a good old-fashioned Western railway chase and it's frustratingly the only time anything really comes off in a film that could genuinely have been good.
