You have "terrible" tastes if you thought that movie was terrible, with the below average casual hollywood popcorn muck that's out there, like Transformers and Pirates 3. You had a problem with the third reel, that's fine, but the first half of the movie more than makes up for the lackluster ending section.
Honestly, casuals always complain about the ending of a movie, as if the first 2/3rds didn't exist or didn't matter.
This is the very reason everyone flames No Country for Old Men, nonsensically, because they didn't leave the theatre with their average, boring, usual, casual, crap-happy, generic, smile-enducing ending, and instead actually have to examing the preceedings to understand the theme of the film, instead of having it spoonfed to them.

you shouldn't judge people that quickly.
i hated the ending of Transformers, its hard to really determine if the 3rd act had anything going for it. Pirates 3, the less said the better.
i am a film buff. i loves these sorts of films but was bitterly disappointed with Sunshine. It felt like a National Geographic dramatisiation. the dangers they encounter are second rate, you think it's original because its fascinating. The way the characters die off are boring and uneventful. Seriously, the way Chris Evans died in the movie was laughable bad. What i wished Boyle did was play the oxygen part a bit more. Out of the group only 2 could live. At least that would of been the drama and 10 bucks.
I'm not a casual viewer. I love films. I think the best films of 2007 were Away From Her, Mr Brooks, Margot at The Wedding and The Bourne Ultimatum. Juno is great and unusual but i can understand the "hate" for it that is swarming it over the internet. The biggest WTF goes to Southland Tales, you should check it out its out on DVD in the US this week.
BTW, I'm pretty sure Jumper is going to be the worst film of 2008.
Video games aren't stupid. The people that play them are.
