90639, Planet of the Apes Tim Burton ending was FAR worse than Vanilla Sky.

At least that seemed somewhat consistent with the rest of the film. Copout? Sure. But a consistent copout.

Planet of the Apes came out of FUCKING nowhere. Awful, awful, awful, awful ending.

I also hold a special place in my heart for the ending to A.I., a film I feel would have been TERRIFIC were it not for the ending. Had they ended with the robot frozen underwater staring at the blue fairy, it would have been the type of ballsy unsettling ending that Spielberg hadn't given us since Raiders of the Lost Ark. Instead he had to make it happy, when the whole movie indicated otherwise. FUCK THAT.
