What sucks in movies that suck is when the suckiest part is all the way at the end of a sucky two hours. Let me paraphrase - you go through the movie and it is horrible at best. Only to find out that your demonic presense or serial stalker is actually vulnerable to <gasp>, the simplest and most commonly-available thing.

For example, if anyone saw the Mel Gibson flick "Signs", they possibly were pissed and annoyed to learn that the devlish aliens hellbent on Earth Domination were actually highly alleric to water. It's actually like acid to them. So much for higher intelligence. Hey aliens! If water kills you, try to stay away from the planet that is %75 composed of it and where it falls from the sky often.

Another example...the Ring. I've complained about this movie before, but in sport, I'll bring it up again. How do you stop a goulish figure that will kill you in seven days? Easy, break out your 1986 VCR and buy a $2 VHS tape. Simply make a back-up copy of this original tape, and hand it to one of your friends. Apparently, this goul isn't so much a tortured spirt, but a marketing genius.

And finally, one of my most hated cures...sunlight. Vampires, the aliens from "Pitch Black" and even the ghost from"Darkness Falls"...all are suseptible to the sun, which may conveniently go away for an abnormal amount of time... Maybe it's cloudy...maybe there is an eclipse. Beings that can die from something that is readily available day in and day out make me laugh. Holy shit people...run outside into a friggin field and just wait an hour. You'll be okay!

And so, this thread is more about other movies you've seen were the ending and means to the ending have made you want to vomit in digust. It's no longer our father's era. Monsters don't die with wooden stakes, silver bullets, chants you've had written on the back of your hand the whole time or air. At least, they shouldn't.
