This movie drives me nuts because it is SO close to being one of the greatest movies of all time, but it completely falls apart at the end. John Doe's masterpiece is NOT completed, which doesn't necessarily warrant being called the worst movie ever, but even if Brad Pitt had died in the end as John Doe had planned, it still would have been flawed because John Doe had killed an innocent (or two) in Gwyneth Paltrow. The worst part is that the movie is set up to have the correct ending, but they pussed out and went with something completely ridiculous. The way it could have actually worked is if Gwyneth was wrath because we find out that she went through with the abortion that she discussed with Morgan Freeman. Then John Doe kills Gwyneth (wrath), Brad Pitt kills Doe (envy), Bam Bam: masterpiece completed. The only thing I could think of that could have happened was this anti-abortion ending was shot down by some idiot producer, so they had to change it to something more "politically correct" (democratic), but I was shocked to find that the correct ending wasn't even in the special edition DVD, so I can't fathom what went wrong here.
