NFT: Ending of Gone Girl (spoils)

Zebrka : 6/24/2016 12:49 am
I don't get it, why didn't ben affleck just tell the truth and if this guy was the best lawyer guy in the country how com he couldn't get her in trouble for lying?

Such a stupid ending and then he keeps the baby and her? So stupid. Nobody is that smart. or are cops/the law that stupid? i know its a movie but that was fake as hell
watching this movie on a hot summer night with the fam

Lol just kidding. She plays public opinion on him. She gets political and she knew she could get away with it.

so there is no way they can get anything going  
Zebrka : 6/24/2016 1:47 am : link
because he, that annoying woman cop and DL Hugley guy (lawyer) all know what she did? why would an FBI agent be so stupid not to question logic....

if she was tied up how did she get a box cutter or w/e and kill Neil patrick harris? you cannot do anything (say if this were was real life)
You should read the book  
Ron from Ninerland : 6/24/2016 1:47 am : link
Spoilers ahead:

Ben Affleck couldn't tell the truth because nobody would believe the truth. Tyler Perry told him as much. Also the book made clear that they both benefited financially from the whole affair.

Seriously you should read the book. Even after seeing the movie I could not put that book down.

My first words to my wife after I watched this piece of shit were "this movie was a piece of shit, but it's not the fault of the actors."

The story was awful. Just an awful movie.
If her original plan was to kill herself 2 weeks after going missing  
cjac : 6/24/2016 8:12 am : link
forensics would have figured out when she died and he would have had an alibi

there were a lot of holes...
the movie sucked hard  
UConn4523 : 6/24/2016 8:14 am : link
pretty good 1st act, then the rails started falling off. Deplorable ending. Why Fincher took this script on is beyond me.
The book was excellent

Don't bother. Its easily Fincher's worst movie and unless you find Ben Affleck's ability to act like a statue riveting, its really nothing more than a popcorn flick (which is fine). My wife read it and she said there were enough changes from the plot that didn't make sense to not be included in the movie. I'm guessing the book is infinitely better.
eh

I liked it, go figure
So There's That

Yes, but you do get to see Emily Ratajkowski naked.
Terrible movie...

lol

I liked it too but whatevs
That movie was garbage.  
Mr. Bungle : 6/24/2016 9:59 am : link
Yet it was nominated for Best Picture.

Tells you the state of the Oscars these days.
I liked it too - some people jsut hate everything popular

Its cool to do I guess.

Oh wait, no it wasn't. (Thankfully.)
The book was a good read  
sjnyfan : 6/24/2016 10:23 am : link
but you could tell by how it was written it was going to be a terrible movie. It was a money grab, capitalizing on the book's success. It's been done since the dawn of cinema but some books are more easily transferable to film than others. The first act of the book is a fake diary and flashbacks. I give Fincher credit for doing what he did with that.

And that's the popular thing to say when someone doesn't like something. Lame argument.
emily ratajkowski is in it  
mattlawson : 6/24/2016 12:37 pm : link
how bad could it be?
I absolutely hated the ending.  
manh george : 6/24/2016 6:06 pm : link
I thought it was idiotic and illogical.

It concluded that the Ben Afleck character was powerless to make his "darling" nutjob wife hate being with him for the rest of her life. I could think of a thousand things he could do to make her want to go.
Hated the ending too

But if you gents are looking for a movie to watch with the wife/girlfriend (and she won't agree to watching Star Wars or Godfather 1 or 2 or a war movie yet again), Gone Girl wasn't so bad
The point that bugged me  
jpennyva : 6/24/2016 7:53 pm : link
Was that no one checked into whether the rich guy had an alibi for when the abduction supposedly took place. That point never came up. I thought the ending was terrible as well. The book was better than the movie, but not by much.
I thought it was a good  
SanFranNowNCGiantsFan : 6/25/2016 6:23 am : link
flick.
What is so hard to understand here ?  
Ron from Ninerland : 6/25/2016 8:00 am : link
Amy was pregnant with Ben Affleck's kid, both he and Amy were celebrities and their financial problems were over. At this point he has three alternatives.

1) run away and disappear .

2) attempt to reveal the truth which nobody would believe. At best mom winds up in jail, his kid is born in jail and he's a broke single father.

3) accept the status quo, be nice to his crazy wife, life an outwardly normal life and hope the nastiness of what just occurred goes away.

I think most people would choose 3.
the only part I was mad about

were when those hicks stole her money... they're the real villains.
Harshest critics in the world all reside on Bbi  
djm : 6/26/2016 7:59 pm : link
Movie gets good to great reviews nearly everywhere? It will probably get destroyed on Bbi. Kind of agree tho. Movie didn't bore me but kind of disappointed.
