I wonder if MJ2 will gross more than the Hunger Games....

[Heretic]

I don't get it when people say they hate a movie just because of the ending. I mean, if the rest of the film is amazing and you love it, is the ending really going to discredit everything?

How did DH1 end again?

 

Voldemort breaking into Dumbledore's tomb and taking the Elder Wand, then casting a lightning to the sky.

Oh yeah.

I meant I'd hate the ending, not the movie. But, that being said, the end is the final thing the audience takes away from a movie. If it's fumbled or unsatisfying, it can really ruin the rest.

Of course. If a film ending sucks, then everything great preceding it turns to shit. 

EDIT: lol, I'm not being serious. BUUUUUT, the ending is what people take away the most.

Finally watched Catching Fire.It was very good. Not great but quite powerful and harrowing.Jennifer Lawrence is a pretty talented actress (with a rubbery face) but I did get a little weary of her constant shouting of"PEETA!!, PEETAAAAA!!!. I swear that dude was dangerously close to becoming a "dude in distress".

 

Peeta = Kenny McCormick

I gotta say, I really was petrified Friday from all the meltdowns here (or should I say the 'haters rejoice' union) that CF might not even break New Moon. Glad to see that 160M

I wasn't referring to you specifically, but you have a point. Depends on the actual ending I guess.

[CoolioD1]

Peeta is awful. Every time Katniss was having a conversation with him or Thor's brother I'd totally zone out.

[DeeCee]

I was really engrossed in the film by the time it ended and it was kind of sudden.  I just wanted it to keep going.

[Jandrew]

MJ1 will almost certainly see a drop off from CF. Above 300m, for sure, but above 350m? I'd say probably not. We have a year to wait and see.

No i know its going to drop, ive been saying that since last year. I was saying not much of a difference to K1's question about whether it'd help with anticipation.

The other thing is Dobby's death.

[Noctis]

How did Matrix Reloaded end?

Come on, they're both nice to look at. 

[Noctis]

The most heartbreaking CGI death of all time.

I don't get this either. I get that this is the 'last thing we see', but I don't think it takes away from the whole film.

[DeeCee]

How did Matrix Reloaded end? 

There was a sequel?

[CaptainJackSparrow]

Dead Mans Chest had the best ending of the past decade.

[CoolioD1]

How did Matrix Reloaded end? 

Neo sleeping next to the Agent Smith guy in the real world? At least that's how I remember it. lol.
