I thought the ending was actually very good. If it seemed silly to you why not just believe

Spoiler:

that Max was insane? It was never actually completely cleared up if the Death was real or just in Max's head.

Personally I like endings you can interpret in many ways. Like lots of people were somehow embarrassed by the end of 'The Knowing' because of its religious tones. Some people were sure it was proof that religion was right, others were sure it was proof that religion was wrong. The same with MM, you can believe one way or the other and honestly I think the ending is done pretty decently then.
