We have seen great stories with a crazy twist end up just being a dream, to me it's a cop out by the writers.

on some real ? . I was wit my ex, my girl at the time and she wanted to go see Twilight. it was the last one don't know what its called but anyway. these vampires and wolf ? was fighting against the head vampire ? . the head ? was getting ? up and turns out it all was a vision.
I literally yelled out "this some ? !" loud as ? and this little girl was like you be quiet mister and I was like hell naw I want my money back.
I felt so cheated. I was on my phone the whole time then this part came on and I was finally interested and turns out the ? didn't happen. -
I think the whole "oh my gosh it was me the whole that was killing those people!" is the lamest great reveal of all.

Yes. I think everybody hates the dream ending, its incredibly corny. It makes a mockery of the entire story, all the consequences become void and all the drama is lost.

American Phycho was good.

The Devils Advocate was dope.
No matter what move he made, the devil was coming for him. -
Yeah, ? these "It was all a dream" ass writers, tryna sound like a Jay-Z song from Blueprint 2

A growing trend in independent movies is the abrupt non ending ending. That has to be the ultimate copout, the most egregious examples being meeks cutoff and Martha Marcy may Marlene, among plenty of other films. What's annoying is that critics tend to give these type of films the most amount of accolades.
