So there was a "universal rejection of the unsatisfactory ending" of Donnie Darko, huh? If by "universal" you mean all the people in your livingroom, then you may have a point. But as for the millions of other people who reside outside of your residence, trust me, there was NO "universal rejection" of Donnie Darko's ending. In fact, the ending was one of the reasons it gained such a following...and the song "Mad World" that accompanied the montage right before the end exploded in popularity as a result.
Seriously, your critique was lazy, ill-informed and self-important. It was 10 times more useless than the film it was covering. For the record, I saw the film and I wasn't impressed with it too much more than you were. But that fact shouldn't give you a license to write a review as half-baked and shallow as the one you've written here.
