Movies ruined by crappy endings

Sarcasm? In fact (as portrayed in the movie) Malcolm is a primary character in the 2nd installment in the series. IIRC Hammond is killed towards the end of the first book. For that matter the lawyer that got T-Rex munched in the 1st movie actually survived in the book. Been a long time but I'm almost positive even the park's animal control guy (the one that gets ambushed after the "Clever girl." reference in the movie) survives in the book.

I do know that they (the local government, Costa Rica maybe?) bombed the island at the end of the first novel.

Malcolm does die in the first book.

Obviously you haven't gotten around to reading The Lost World yet. I didn't like it as much as the first but it's not too bad.

I haven't, but we were talking about Jurassic Park. Malcolm does die at the end of the book. I'll be happy to find the text an type it all out for you, if you'd like.

this is from wikipedia:

In the conclusion, the island is suddenly and violently demolished by the fictional Costa Rican Air Force. It is stated that Malcolm dies (the Costa Rican government refuses to bury both Hammond and Malcolm's bodies). Survivors of the incident are indefinitely detained by the United States and Costa Rican governments. Weeks later, Grant is visited by Dr. Martin Guitierrez, an American doctor who lives in Costa Rica and has found a Procompsognathus corpse. Guitierrez informs Grant that an unknown pack of animals has been migrating through the Costa Rican jungle, eating lysine-rich crops and chickens. He also informs Grant that none of them, with the possible exception of Tim and Lex, are going to be leaving any time soon.

Interesting, considering this is also from Wiki:
"In both the novel and film, the primary critic of John Hammond is Malcolm, who accurately predicts the instability of Hammond's creation. Malcolm is seriously injured in the first book, from a Tyrannosaur attack, and spends the rest of the book slowly dying in the care of Dr. Gerry Harding, who has limited human medical supplies. He is given high doses of morphine, and supposedly eventually dies from his injuries. However, it is revealed in the sequel novel, The Lost World, that he survived thanks to timely intervention by Costa Rican surgeons, but ended up partially crippled and walking with a cane."

It's been a long time since reading either book but while it might have been implied he (Malcolm) dies he clearly does not as he is very much alive in the 2nd installment of the storyline.

I know it has already been mentioned, but No Country for Old Men was the crappiest ending of any movie I've watched in the past few years.

The theatrical version of Blade Runner.

The director's cut is brilliant. It just proves the importance of editing.

Love that freaking movie and book. I'm sure you would have loved for Chagur to get his, but sometimes the villain wins.
