I Am Legend - Alternate Ending

I definitely liked this ending much better. Possibly because it provoked a little more thought that standard hollywood endings usually do, or because it answers a few questions the theatrical ending didn't. Either way....... cool.

Yeah, I definitely like how they gave the monsters some modicum of choice in that ending but it still felt too cheesy to me, so I still liked the original ending better, it stikes me as more original.

I'm sure you've noticed that most American movies end with on an "Everythings OK" note. Nothing wrong with that, but we've done it so much that it feels hackneyed.

The Mist definitely doesn't have an "everything's ok" ending - even more so than the book. I couldn't watch the movie because of the ending myself - it was too much for us. That sucks too because I LOVE the book.

In the book do the bad guys turn into cartoons like they did in the movie?

I can't help but think the alternate ending is actually the "real" ending in territories outside the US. You know, give the Americans the big explosions, while others get the deep thought ending.  ;D
