I hate to be the one to say this but if anyone read the book then they can say that had the best ending, it made the title make sense where as the movies didn't quite do that, but very few times does a movie do justice to a book
i thought the bourne movies were better than the books. and i never read the lord of the rings books, but i imagine they suck compared o those movies.
the book was NOTHING like the movie... the book was a very DARKER and GRUESOME look into his mind... way more crass and descriptive... i didnt like the book at all, and the ending left you wanting even MORE then the movie...
The darker aspect is what I liked more about the book and delving into his trip into insanity, I don't know Will smith is good for fresh prince of bel air and men in black movies but when it comes to some of the best books being turned into movies he makes them a little to much hollywoodlike
I think this scene makes more sense, since the alpha male creature was pissed when the woman creature was taken. So at the end you realize there was a reason for that. The other ending just made it seem like the male was just psycho and trying to kill for the heck of it.
i loved the movie but im not crazy about either ending
same here. I really wish it had a totally happy ending, personally. Cuz i felt like the whole film was so sad.
i kinda liked how it ended. i really like how they didn't draaag it out forever like they do with so many movies these days.
BAH this one is way to bubble gum pop and happy for me.
i like this so much better
and it's kind of subtle too like how he looks over at the wall of photos ...
i like it
and i love the lead zombie/vampire (or actually infected person, they are not demonic living dead)
yeah i was SO let down w/the ending. i like the alternate one. i wonder why they do that? like the original all of a sudden ended, like they were bored or something and needed it to end.
