Slightly flawed ending but loyal and enjoyable

Rating: 8/10 (10 July 2005)

I read a few posts and need to comment on some misunderstanding. First I would start by being honest saying I haven't read the book thereby reserving criticism until I read it (take a hint all those haters).
I'll quick fire some truths needing to be enforced. Does it really matter what the aliens look like? They from a planet that cannot support sentient life? The ending is faithful enough for the crowds who will now turn to the book and love the story more for it and possibly appreciate the success of the film better with those who had prior to their viewing. Bobbie emerging in the finishing minutes could be interpreted how you like but it is not a happy ending unless you don't look at the bigger picture. No way of know what the cage falling from the tripod is made of should dispel any criticism. The car being fine after the plane crashing into the house is miraculous to some but others realise the film would be 6 hours longer without it. Also all who thought the peanut butter sandwich scene was looking in through the window, it wasn't, to relieve further critique to minor problems that haters use believing to destroy all future plot achievement (for some reason). The film doesn't suddenly end and explains perfectly the reason for our small victory leads to believe, that some might need to give it more than one viewing. These points and probably more pointed out in other posts (forgive me any duplicates there are far too many comments, not wanting to dedicate a day or more to this) should help the haters appreciate that waiting a few hours after a movie before posting leads to better understanding. In Summation support what is great and don't tear a film to pieces because of lackings in personal circumstance! You know who you are.
