When you put your faith in the Wachowski brothers and paid to see the Matrix sequels, didn't you get to the end and shout "I could've done a better job. I waited how long for that?! Come on!!"

Thankfully we live in a world with How it Should Have Ended because "sometimes movies don't finish the way we'd like". The fine and talented folks there create 2 minute animated shorts that show how it should have ended, as well as favourites like Braveheart, Seven, and Lord of the Rings (would have been a much shorter movie) and their special How To Survive An Alien Attack short. Take a look and have a laugh at what happens when you introduce logic into Star Wars Episode 4 and Underworld.

The Official How It Should Have Ended Website - shorts available for download in WMV format. Update: Looks like the site switched to DivX.

How It Should Have Ended's suggestions for the Matrix series:
  • Don't resurrect someone just to give them a lame death in the next movie (Trinity)
  • Persephone and The Merovingian needed more character devlopment on screen (sure they looked cool, but what made them such badasses?)
  • Morpheus should have been the one to die for Neo but that would take out the five minute death scene for Trinity
  • Zion definitely should have thought about better defenses way before the attack
Any movie endings you just couldn't buy?
