About This Quiz
The whole point of a good movie ending is to make a lasting impression in the minds of viewers. Take for example "Avengers: Infinity War." Just about everyone who saw the ending of that movie felt one of four ways: upset, annoyed, surprised or excited. While the start and the middle of the movie should also be great, it's the end (along with all the action-packed scenes) that we really remember. So today, we want to find out if you can name these movies if we show you a picture of what happens in the end!
We've gathered a variety of movies, both old and new, so as to appeal to all age groups. After we made our list, we found pictures of what happened at the end of each movie. Your job is to first analyze just what the heck is going on in the picture. See if you can identify any of the characters, and jog your brain for the name of the movie. But be careful of those that belong to a series! Is the Harry Potter in the picture younger with a bowl haircut, or does he look tired because he's hunting Horcruxes?Â
This quiz, while fun, will challenge you. Let's see if you've got the chops to name all the movie endings from their pictures.Â
