Re: What was the worst ending to a film you've watched?

[(Anonymous)]

Worst ending to a film I really liked otherwise, How To Train Your Dragon 2.

HTTYD is a very well plotted, if simplistic, movie. Dad wants kid to be A Real Man (viking), kid is a nerd. Kid uses nerd powers to fake being A Real Man and it works for a bit and everyone's happy, but then the lie;s found out. Kid proves that being a nerd can save the day even better than being A Real Man and dad and everyone else learns that love and friendship plus fighting is better than just fighting. Dad accepts and loves nerd son.

HTTYD2 starts with a similar conflict. Now young adult kid is Steve Irwin dating Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton. Dad and Kate want him to be Prince William. Guy wants to continue being Steve Irwin. This is good conflict! What solution will they find? Oh shit mysterious stranger! Oh shit mysterious bad guy! Oh shit trapper guy who needs to be convinced Dragons Are People Too. Oh shit mysterious cave full of new dragons and mysterious stranger is long lost MOM?!
....
And then everything goes tits up. Dad realizes mom's alive, dad's killed for cheap angst, weird comedy scene to try and make up for angsty death scene? Guy saves the day, guy's automatically made chief no more being Steve Irwin. Now that mysterious stranger was revealed as mom she just kind of sashayed into the background to let the real characters take over. Trapper realized dragons are people too and gets handed dead dad's dragon like they haven't spent two movies and two series talking about how special the bond is between dragon and rider and it's like... idk selling dad's old vhs at a yard sale.

The last bit of the movie's just an unsatisfying mess. Everything was wrapped up in the laziest way possible and they threw in character death to try and add depth, but since it just came across as a quick fix to resolve the will-he-won't-he conflict it fell flat.
