Everyone alive after 1897 should have seen that ending coming.

Zing.

 

[webkatt]

The entire plot of The Cabin in the Woods.

Spoiler

I want to e gaf-cool and say I see everything coming

 

[Chuckie]

Dark Knight Rises was one that I absolutely should have guessed but didn't.

Spoiler

Remembered thinking that she will either be evil or dead by the end as soon as I saw her. Further, I was a bit annoyed through the movie when I thought that they were making Bane the son rather than bringing Talia over. However, I never put the pieces together.

Haha, me too. I felt fucking dumb after the movie

Spoiler

Especially because I was already spoiled on the fact she was supposed to play Talia. Somehow that spoiler had been erased from my mind by the time I watched the film.

So when the reveal came I was like... wow didn't see that one coming!.... Wait a minute.... didn't I see a pic months ago of her as Talia?..D'OOOH!!!!

This thread

Spoiler

All the posters were lying.

 

[daniels]

Shutter Island comes of like a parody because all of it is so transparent :/

 

[RoboPlato]

The Village

Spoiler

could tell the opening shot was on a camcorder and figured the twist was it was present day

Same here. I was in 8th grade when it came out and went into it expecting a twist so I figured it out quick.

 

[Nodnol]

I know I guessed the jist of Source Code pretty early, as in who planted the bomb and what not.

Also theorized the same idea with Interstellar that's been mentioned in here already.

The Village

Spoiler

could tell the opening shot was on a camcorder and figured the twist was it was present day

Came to post this. I saw it with a bunch of friends and made the prediction about half way through. It's almost cheating though since literally everyone in the theater was expecting a twist of some sort.

 

[yeehamuffins]

Within about ten minutes of it starting, I had almost all of Oblivion's plot already clocked:

Spoiler

The "mission control" that they were following orders from were actually the evil aliens out to steal their water, the "aliens" that were attacking them were actually good humans, and the BS about "radioactive areas" was actually to keep them from finding out that there were other posts out there being lied to as well.

The only part I didn't guess was

Spoiler

that Tom Cruise and his partner were actually clones.

 

[Kinyou]

Post-coital fireplace time with her

And you think Bats should be thinking about that. Shame. He may be a bat, but he's still a man!

[DeathoftheEndless]

You should be able to call plot twists or else they wouldn't make any sense.

 

[SheHateMe]

I called Looper when I saw the trailer for it. Still went opening night to see it.

Spoiler

In time travel movies such as this one, you always either work with yourself to stop yourself, or you stop yourself by yourself.

I was right in calling the latter and not the former, although a slight argument could be made for the former for a part of the movie.

More recently, I called The Loft.

Spoiler

Never could trust Wentworth Miller, didn't see the need to start now.

 

[Do Better]

Cowboys and Aliens

When a random character inserts herself into the plot

 

[Christoff Yurievich]

With the Prestige, I guessed that

Spoiler

Fallon was a clone of Borden, after a scene with Fallon in the foreground. I noticed he kinda looked like Christian Bale in American Hustle, and boom.

Spoiler

Clone

? How about

Spoiler

'twin'

.

My wife saw The Sixth Sense while she was visiting her mom and when she came back home she said I had to watch it, it was so good. Bruce Willis

Spoiler

got shot, and I asked her, "Is this when he becomes a ghost?"

Man she was mad. At every opportunity throughout the film I asked,

Spoiler

"Is this where he figures out he's a ghost?"

She hated watching that with me.

 

[MacGurcules]

My girlfriend and I trade movies. I'll be astonished that she hasn't seen Jaws, for instance, so we'll watch that. Then the next week, we watch one of her movies that I haven't seen. I gotta say, she likes some predictable-ass movies.

I have a tendency to wind her up a little by describing the rough outline of the plot of most of her movies by the time they finish introducing all of the major characters. She was punching me in the arm a few weeks ago when we watched Pearl Harbor because I'd call every setpiece and plot point within seconds of the setup. Of course, it's practically cheating, since it's a Micheal Bay movie and a three-hour Top Gun homage besides.

 

[Sunset Prince]

How could you possibly call that ending 20 minutes in. I call bs

i did too. well not in Detail, but the General idea. was really obvious to me.

 

[dork]

the villiage

 

[A-V-B]

Bioshock Infinite

Basically the entire ending. Like, halfway through the game, I was thinking "okay, now you'll reveal it right? No, now you'll reveal it. No, now you'll reveal it! WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO REVEAL IT KEN IT'S SO OBVIOUS PLEASE JUST REVEAL IT ALREADY"

 

[Confrontation]

Interstellar:

Spoiler

The moment I saw Matt Damon, that he was gonna try and sabotage their shit.

 

[Kain]

Lately, Interestellar

Spoiler

Coop was the ghost and Mann was crazy. The Mann one was obvious when

a) Big actor

b) They are constantly telling the viewer "He's the best of us", "He's the most awesome guy in the world". Yeah, right, talk about subtlety.

 

[Mr-Joker]

Who the villain was in Whiteout, the movie did a bad job in hiding it as I guessed it long before the murderer popped up.

Plus the movie was crap.

In Eastender I guessed who Lucy Beale's killer was, which blew my cousin out of the water.

 

[levious]

Book of Eli

Spoiler

i had very recently watched some special about a blind teenager who taught himself to echolocate. If the movie didnt have Denzel clicking his lips I probably would not have noticed the o the other less blatant hints.

The Prestige

Dumb TV ads actually advertised A TWIST YOU WON'T EXPECT. You idiots, now I'll be watching the movie expecting a twist.

Spoiler

Somewhere in the middle of the movie I realized Bale was playing both characters.

Even without the trailer it was telegraphed too much.

Spoiler

different speech. And the early trick with the birds and the little boy crying asking what happened to the brother.

 

[Deified Data]

Gone Girl:

Spoiler

Called in advance that Affleck was innocent and his wife was trying to frame him. That said I thought she'd actually off herself first, I never expected her to try and survive the whole plan.

Haven't seen the movie but the book

Spoiler

did have a subplot where she was going to go through with it but decided that getting back with 'fake' Nick was a better idea

.

 

[JC Lately]

Broken Age

Spoiler

That the "monster" was the ship

I called that one when the trailers came out. Then I stated doubting myself when

Spoiler

Mother stared talking about how she was ‘chosen for a great honor’ in Shae’s story and started wondering if the ship section actually took place in the future from Vella’s perspective . Which would have been cool too, I guess. But I should have stuck with my first guess.

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

Totally called it, half way through this great movie!
