the reason the final measure sounds funny to you is that it is a 2nd inversion chord.

generally, 2nd inversion chords are too ambiguous to use as the final chord of a piece. they have the dominant as the bass note, rather than teh tonic.

In musical criticism, when issues of craft and technical consideration are set aside, what remains is more subjective. However, until technical issues are dealt with, the subjective portion bears considerably less weight.
