One that always stood out to me was the ending of the Tom Cruise war or the world's movie.
Now to be clear, this is not a good film and I don't recommend that anyone bothers to go watch it, but a criticism I regularly saw was that the ending was bad - the aliens all just die suddenly.
That was literally the only thing that film got right from the source material. They changed literally everything else in an attempt to modernise it, it didn't work but they at least kept the ending and that's the bit people didn't like.
Yeah. It's a movie about surviving. Not winning. And the opening sets up the end.
