Very disappointing

Rating: 7/10 (27 November 2007)

I was so very disappointed in the ending to this movie. The Mist has been one of my very favorite Stephen King stories for ages and I even have the audiotape which is excellent. The ending in the movie was totally contrary to the original story. Why would David give up hope at a time that didn't even seem to be completely hopeless yet after showing such bravery for the first 80% of the movie? Drivel!! And it was especially disappointing since the rest of the movie was so excellent. I think it shows how bleak our society has become since the original story was written. Heroes are needed but they must be heroes to the end, and not every story must have a definite end. What was wrong with the original ending?
