Weak tea, all of it, DieA –seriously. ‘you sound like a teenager’ ‘watch me misinterpret you in order to rile you’…all straight from the playbook. You’re just aping me at this point. When you can bring yourself to hop off my coattails and bring something new to the table, let me know; I’ll get back into it.

*sigh*

(I’ll have to try out those html quotes for myself, tho’)

(That’s honestly how you sound, don’t lynch me)

Well let’s see, “that ending was worth the error” is not the same as “I liked the ending, whatever.”

Normally I don’t bother doing someone else’s thinking for them

Aren’t you the little pretentious and oblivious maggot. I perfectly understood what you meant, see my explanation in my prior reply as to why I disagree.

If you’re so easily impressionable – sucks to be you. I’m objective enough to overlook the ending completely.

“Happy hogwash”…damn, are all your trolls this transparent?

I used that term to make fun of your use of the word in reply to another person, but thanks for making fun of yourself, I get to waste less time on you that way.

pot instead of kettle…າ_າ

Are all your trolls this transparent?

Look again, how many comments in this thread have you made, insisting that people cannot like any parts of this film under any circumstances because the ending wasn’t flawless to you.

Normally I don’t bother doing someone else’s thinking for them, but since you need help: it was pathetically manipulative because it fell back on a well-worn horror cliche (pathetic) for no better reasons than to shock us (manipulative) and bring the movie to a close quickly –which makes it lazy as well. As for the rest of the film, feel free to cherrypick your favorite parts; I prefer to view it as a whole.

“Childish”…whatever you say, kettle. “Happy hogwash”…damn, are all your trolls this transparent? Well, you’re still young…you’ll grow into it.

Also what was “pathetically manipulating” about the ending? That’s kind of offensive. See, even if the ending were some happy hogwash tra la la ending that you would like, I would still approve of the film. The ending didn’t make me like the film more or less, it is what it is. What I was most impressed with is what happened inside, nothing is going to take away from those scenes.

You’re acting quite childish.

There’s 90% of a good movie here. But I do believe –and I’m fine with anyone who doesn’t share this opinion– that it is perfectly possible for a bad ending to mar a whole film.

It’s rare to find a good movie ending nowadays, watch Korean films for good endings, or foreign films in general for good endings (and storylines in general, although Indie films are picking up the slack fairly epically nowadays).

It’s rare enough in American cinema for even one of the main characters to die unless he/she are a minority, an assclown, doing something stupid, or trying to procreate. Otherwise the end of every American movie is kinda like the end of every Thundercats, someone makes a stupid joke, everyone laughs, they roll credits.

Maybe she was lucky, maybe those creatures weren’t even close yet? Who cares. Films don’t have to be %100 accurate. It’s nice when they are, but with an effect like the ending had, I think the “error” was worth it.

Christfuck I damn near puked blood from rage.

Instead, the dude shoots his own kid before their stomachs even start rumbling. What kind of dumbass does that?

Because maybe this is what the film was actually about?

That the real monsters weren’t the ones outside, but the people inside? Seems pretty clear to me.

I don’t think many people watched it for seeing the monsters, it’s what was going on inside between the people that was interesting and scary. Because it was very realistic. I suppose you have never been in an extreme situation with a couple of strangers, not many have, but that’s what people tend to do. They become what you would consider a monster, all because they fear death so much, that they’d rather lie to themselves and let it out on others.

Prime example: The religious lady.
