You'd be pissed for what reason? You had 20 years. If it mattered that much, get to it quicker. I agree that the name of the movie in question should be in the title of the thread, but it's not like the OP is discussing the end of a TV episode that aired a few hours ago.

Who never watched Seven yet? how old is the movie anyway? 10 years now?
EDIT: OMFG IT'S BEEN 19 YEARS!!! I'M FUCKING OLDD!!!
EDIT2: This shit is part of history now. I don't think anyone would get pissed if they read that Hitler shot himself at the end of WW2 now. Or would they?

Yes I would have killed him, but I wouldnt have used a gun. I would have used a sandblaster and started on his feet working my way up.

Yes. That's my wife.
Romeo and Juliet each commit suicide.
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde are one and the same.
Rosebud is the name of the sled.
Darth Vader is Luke's father.
Bruce Willis was a ghost the whole time.
Sometimes spoilers become part of pop culture. You have to accept that.

I'd hope not. Not because of morality or anything, but to maximize his pain.
...Would I still be Wrath if I beat him within an inch of his life? Probably.

I'd like to say no, but it's seriously impossible for me to put myself in that mindset, so who knows. Maybe. Dude definitely deserved it though.

Yup, a shot in the head was ridiculously merciful.

They'll get over it. Apparently they don't care enough to watch it anyways...
These are all known because they're popular, not because they're old. Is an obscure murder-mystery from, say, the 50s worth spoiling simply because it's 60 years old? I don't think Seven is as well-known among as many people as some are suggesting.
Answer to OPs question: unfortunately, probably yes.

No. His "master" plan was to fulfill those seven deaths.
He would suffer so much more if you dont let him get his last death.
I would beat him near death
Then he can rot in prison.

and then piss on him.

Nominated for an Oscar, over $100 million lifetime gross, ranked 4 in the serial killer thriller genre...
It's a pretty popular movie.
Yes, as would anyone operating under those circumstances at the moment.
But what if I was Morgan Freeman's character, an outside observer not caught up in the emotion? Well then, probably yes still. I'd have to weigh the pros and cons for keeping him alive, judging whether or not I believed we could keep him safely locked away in prison and whether or not he would be a danger to other prisoners. There is no reason other prisoners have to deal with an insane serial killer, so if I think he would place them in danger as well I'd kill him.
EDIT:
To everyone saying "LOL, it's a 20 year old movie, stop complaining about spoilers." STFU! It doesn't matter if it's a 100 years old some people haven't seen the fucking movie so whether it's a 100 years old or 20 it doesn't matter, it's a spoiler. I mean I've only recently seen "Casablanca" that doesn't mean I wanted to know spoilers from the movie just because its old.

Yeah, in an ideal world, I would have probably gone all "I Saw The Devil" on him.
But in an ideal world my wife's severed head wouldn't be in a box either, sooo :/

The "It's an old movie" excuse is shit. There is literally not enough time in the life span of a human to watch every movie ever made, so there will necessarily be old movies that people haven't seen yet, and may in the future. Although it's impossible for them to go through life without running into one spoiler, it's still understandable to get upset on the occasions that it does happen. And it's ridiculous to make up excuses for doing something that bothers someone, when the actions to prevent that come in at an almost zero cost to the person posting the spoiler. Mistakes happen and that's okay, but I can't really think of any way to justify it other than "Oops, sorry. I made a mistake. I didn't think it through." Any other justification is just asshole-ish.
Also, no. I'd like to think I wouldn't kill him. Obviously, it's pretty damn hard to imagine the situation, but I don't have much of a temper, so I doubt I'd murder the guy.

Fuck dude seriously? I was just getting to the middle of this book.
I guess LTTP people aren't allowed to enjoy surprising endings anymore.
I'm assuming that one thing is about Citizen Kane, which I haven't seen yet and I didn't know that. Gee thanks man.

Like has already been said, it's hard to tell how you'd react in that kind of emotional state when you aren't thinking rationally. The thought process of it being a greater punishment to keep him alive may not click when you've got the opportunity for immediate vengeance in front of you. I'd like to think I wouldn't, but who knows.
I always found the original/alternate ending interesting,
They never shot it, but they piece it together from storyboards on the DVD.
I always found the original/alternate ending interesting,
where Sommerset takes the bullet and kills John Doe before Mills can, thus saving Mills from prison while also twarting Doe's ultimate plan. It's an interesting take.
Not when you show up 20 years late to the party.

I want to say no, but in a situation like that you probably aren't going to be thinking completely rationally.
Probably. I can see myself not giving a fuck about his master plan and just getting caught up in the moment and shooting him. I mean, if he dies he wins but if you let him live he wins. He's basically already won at that point so what can you do to punish him?
Also I was late to the Seven party as well. Watched it a couple of months ago and had no clue how it ended, but I don't think the title explicitly spoils anything. There is plenty of buildup that leads to that question.
EDIT: oh the thread's title was changed. nvm

Some people don't have a choice. There are many, many movies that were made before I was born.

LOL I love the reactions in threads where people are spoiled plots and endings. Some people are really adamant about keeping that shit contained. I wish I knew what that was like. I actively seek out spoilers like it's a second job. A game or movie releasing in a day and I'm going to see it? I'll spoil it all just before I do. And you know what? I'm still just as satisfied and surprised when I see it.
On topic, I don't know exactly what I would do in the situation, but I am inclined to believe that I would shoot him. Such an unimaginable thing to see your wife's head in a box.

Haven't seen seven, but it's nearly 20 years old guys, everyone knows what happens.
You're surprised when something happens that you knew was going to happen?
A good story will still be good even if you know the twist, unlike a bad one which just relies on the twist to shock the audience, but I can't understand deliberately spoiling everything that happens. I think it's a much richer experience to just let everything unfold naturally.

It's always been Seven. People have just picked up the silly stylised version from some of the DVD releases.
And you'll just have to accept that some "twists" and spoilers get caught up in a cultural zeitgeist. I knew plenty about Star Wars before seeing that; most people don't even realize that Jekyll is Hyde is a spoiler; and while most people who have never seen an M. Night Shymalan movie know the Sixth Sense spoiler, there will still be people who haven't seen it. Getting upset over a spoiler about a movie you haven't had the interest enough to watch after it's been out for over 15 years? That's pretty silly, no matter how old you are.
Also, notice I have not spoiled Harry Potter, even though those spoilers are everywhere too. I do think that time plays a factor, no matter how popular something is.
But twenty years, man. Twenty years.
