Worst Twist?

[Sionnach Glic]

Well? What's the worst movie twist you've ever seen?

[Lazar]

I hate it when I can guess the twist from the very first time I see the trailer - this happened to me with The Village and Shutter Island.

[kostmayer]

Oceans 12. Pretty much every twist in the film.

[Captain Seafort]

Journey's End (DW, not TNG). The Romana theory would have been better than the shit we got.

[colmquinn]

Shutter Island[/i].

Not the worst ever but worst I've seen recently

[Lighthawk]

The Village and Hancock.

Agreed.

"Let's take one of the best examples of character growth and development and shit on it for no goddamned good reason! Bye bye, Donna!"

I didn't even see Shutter Island and I knew the "twist" from the first trailer alone.

[Graham Kennedy]

Went to see Prince of Persia the other day. As they decided to launch the attack on the city, I leaned over to Ian and said "So Ben Kingsley is the bad guy then?" And he nodded and said "Of course."


Shutter Island, I saw the trailer, and thought to myself "What's the most painfully obvious twist there could be to this? Hmmmm, that...." and said it out loud. Then I went and looked up the ending on moviepooper.com, and sure enough, that was the twist.


I wouldn't call it a bad twist as such, but the Vader being Luke's father thing just breezed right past me when I first saw it. I didn't see it coming at all, but it didn't especially shock or surprise me. I was actually WAY more surprised to find out that Leia was his sister in the next movie.


But the winner is... Planet of the Apes, the remake. He's in a future where apes are in charge, and he goes back to the present day, or maybe the past, and finds... that the apes are also in charge there, and apparently always have been. Um, what? Are we supposed to be living in the ape world now somehow? Is it saying that we are apes? Which, I suppose, is true, but... sorry, but I just don't understand what it's meant to be telling us with that ending. And I was far from alone, half the cinema walked out of that showing muttering in confusion.

There was so much that was so wrong with the remake of Planet of the Apes that the bit you mention barely blipped on my WTF radar.

[RK_Striker_JK_5]

Umm, what's the Shutter Island twist? Never seen the movie.

[Tyyr]

The guy who's investigating the asylum.... IS A PAITENT THERE HAVING A DELUSION! OMGWTFBBQ!?

Whats worse is I read the book before the remake came out and the ending is the EXACT ending of the book. Only difference is he lands in Paris not Washington DC.

This, definitely.
