20 Recent Movie Endings EVERYONE Hated

Considering that Guy Ritchie's recent action-adventure romp Fountain of Youth felt like Indiana Jones from Temu in its dusty old bones, it's probably fitting that the ending cribbed quite shamelessly from that beloved franchise.

At the eleventh hour, we learn that the neon-signposted hidden villain is one Owen Carver (Domhnall Gleeson), who faked his terminal illness and actually just wants the Fountain of Youth's power for his own mustache-twirling fancies.

Carver then drinks from the Fountain, which will grant the drinker eternal life albeit at the cost of the life of the person they love the most. 

But aha, because Carver cares only for himself, he's suddenly drained of his own life force, withering into the form of a very silly-looking CGI old man while the heroes make their escape.

It's all very "we have Raiders from the Lost Ark at home." Hell, it's very "we have Kingdom of the Crystal Skull at home," minus any of that franchise's charm or artistry. Bland, obvious villain dies a predictably derivative death - yawn.
