David is a 30-year-old Mexican writer and reader. Having studied Marketing in school, he spent three years working a nine-to-five desk job before deciding to pursue a writing career.

Any writer can testify that sticking the landing is probably the most difficult part of writing a story. Indeed, a bad ending can ruin a perfectly good or even great story simply because it's the last thing audiences will remember: if the ending is bad, then the whole experience will be lacking, no matter how great the start and middle are.

&#x2715 Remove Ads A large reason why the first Lethal Weapon movies work so well is the chemistry between Gibson and Glover, which remained consistent throughout. However, the series' essence, which began as an inspired combination of action, comedy, and genuine gravitas, slowly degenerated into a generic buddy cop comedy, especially considering Briggs and Murtaugh's relationship had very little room to grow.

&#x2715 Remove Ads Ice Age's last film is the spin-off The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild, centered around a supporting character that clearly should've stayed on the sidelines. The jokes are more basic than usual, the animation is underwhelming, and the whole schtick runs tiresome before the film even reaches its halfway point.

2018's Halloween was a solid, grittier return to form for a series that had very much lost its identity. However, its two sequels went back to displaying the franchise's flaws, mainly a lack of direction and a basic misunderstanding of what makes it appealing. 2022's Halloween Ends ended the story with a confused entry that sidelined Michael Myers and Laurie Strode in favor of a polarizing new character.

&#x2715 Remove Ads Major characters are sidelined, and the franchise's once-mighty action sequences are reduced to confused, blurry, and barely distinguishable CGI-heavy messes that overwhelm and confuse rather than enthrall. The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies sees the trilogy limping to the finish line, trying to do too much with a bare-bones premise that really didn't warrant a solo movie.
