Very disappointed :-(

Rating: 4/10 (29 November 2007)

I have read Stephen King's novela about The Mist, and the ending, ruined the whole point of the story....because in the book, David Drayton discovers that the creatures cannot see you but only smell you so in the truck they are safe, and after they escaped the Supermarket, he drives for a long time, in nothing BUT MIST and monsters, until he comes to a hotel....and this is HIS story, which he leaves behind, for anyone that may find it in the future, while his son, Amanda, and the old couple sleep, he write's this ALL down, With their future being unsure, but braving the odds, they move forward, into The Mist.
The ending in the movie is SO wrong and unfair to a wonderful story of courage which with the original ending would have equaled it to some other GREAT movies like "The Green Mile" or "The Shawshank Redemption".
But if you want to have an extremely tragic ending for a change, why not watch Carry, at least the director stuck to the story...... This tragic ending in "The Mist" was not in good taste AT ALL.
It sure does not compare to other great King movies like "The Shining's 1997 version" or "The Stand" or even "Storm of the Century"
I love thrillers and Horrors, and when I saw this movie came out I so wanted to see it, but when I did, I was so angry and very disappointed, I felt cheated for my money, take it from me DO leave 10 minutes before the end, cause the end is NOT worth it and if you are part of the majority, you will be angry too.
They could have done SO much better with this movie if only they had taken their time, the next movie they do on the King's stories, perhaps they should take more time and put more effort into it, and not make it look like a rush job, READ THE NOVELA "What happen Mr. Director, were you almost over budget? is that why you did not put the proper ending to this story? I think you could have done a lot better, than that, personnaly it looked like a rush job !!! sorry that this is my opinion, BUT deep down you know I'm right!"
If you want tragic endings...Just look around you, this movie was supposed to be about courage and the will to live, not how to be a coward.....
