This is by far the WORST movie ever! If you like this kind of ending you are sick. It was good until the ending, anyone that gives up and kills their kid, or a sick bastard that wrote that kind of ending is sick in the head. I WOULD never do something like that! And to think some of YOU think it was a good movie, your Sick if you do! Just think about it, if you were the boy in the movie. SICK ****!

Little necro here I suppose, but just want to put it on the record that the main character "giving up" and killing his son and the other survivor's (with their consent) is perfectly reasonable considering the horrific death they were all certain they would receive otherwise. The father promised the son he wouldn't let the monsters get him, no matter what, and so in ending his life he fulfilled that promise. The ending was terrible in the sense of the horrible irony and tradgedy, but it was a strong and difficult creative decision by the director and writers. The book ends with obscurity, the movie ends with tradgedy. In reality the movie had a very realistic edge to it for a supernatural horror - the woman who left in the beginning to save her children made the right call - get out before things have a chance to settle in and get nasty. Conversely, if the people in the store had kept their wits and just hunkered down, it's possible the military could have saved them within the space of a week (the giant tentacle monster wouldn't have been a match for air to air missiles etc). The military would have reacted to the incursion in our reality rapidly (as they did), but the people in the store couldn't come to grips with the "monsters" - they couldn't accept something so alien and terrifying and it destroyed them. I hate the ending passionately, but love the movie with equal passion.

I agree.
Worst movie I've ever seen in my life.
This isn't a horror movie. It is a movie about survival. Giving up is not a concept you should use in a story like this. Steven King didn't think so when he wrote it originally.
The dark twisted ending doesn't help the story. It makes the characters weak. They were strong characters to leave the grocery store, they were trying to survive. How can running out of gas be such a hurdle for them.
Thats not the only reason I didn't like the movie, but that is the reason I say worst I've ever seen.

The Mist is nowhere near the worst movie ever created. It was so easy to make it corny but I think the director did a really good job on it. It was intense...I liked it. The ending was so sick....and sad!

Its a movie adaptation of a Stephen King story, for goodness sakes.
While he's quite a storyteller and has sold a billion or so copies of his books, the tales never seem to adapt well to the big screen.
(There are a few notable exceptions, like Misery...)
Sadly, the horrible images your own imagination conjures are much more frightening than the latex-and-cgi junk on the screen.
Some of the worst movies I ever saw were Stephen King...

I haven't seen the movie.. However, I LOVE reading Stephen King.. There's just something about his books that allow to mind to paint a much more creepy, scary picture than any director can conjour up... Almost every one of Stephen's King's "movies" haven't even come close to his vision... Except for maybe Carrie and Christine... Read the books they are so much better than the movies...
Good luck

Wow really!? I think this is one of the best movies I have seen! They didn't just give up in the end, the way they figured was they could either die together quickly or go out into the unknown and be tortured by one of the creatures.The ending was great and very emotional, it's a lot better than the same usual storyline that always happens. Thank god for this movie saving us from the crap that has come out this year.

I thought the movie was well made and very good...until the end. The book's ending was so much better, the movie was disappointing.

I have mixed emotions about the movie. I thought that it was good to a point, but the ending was a rip off. I honestly think that my 8.50 wasn't worth it. But that Thomas Jane is pretty sexy. I would've paid Matinee price to see him, but full price was too much.
