Maybe Hollywood will avoid similar mistakes in the future if we keep yelling about these movies.
sigh, spoiler alert
The Village
The one tiny change:No twist.
The armchair justification:Not every movie needs a twist, M. Night Shyamalan!
There was just no need to bring this distorted, disturbing period drama into the modern day.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
The one tiny change:No aliens.
The armchair justification:This movie is a grand adventure!
Buena Vista
Then comes the big twist: It was aliens all along.
La La Land
The one tiny change:No sad.
It didnt make sense to snuff out their romance.
Paramount Pictures
Signs
The one tiny change:The aliens did their research.
These were supposed to be smart aliens, right?
The armchair justification:HPDH2 was already a visually dazzling and emotionally satisfying epic for most of its runtime.
Lionsgate
