The first 3/4s were pretty good so far as a film adaption of the book could go. I thought Rorshauch was brilliant.

I figured that since they didn't have an easy way to work in the storyline concerning the disappearance of artists and other people that the novel has during the chapter breaks it would be difficult to build towards or explain coherently enough for the general audience, something the ending that was used does nicely. For all scenes Snyder probably had to fight to include and bring the running time up a few concessions can be made. Also they didn't have any of the newsstand or "Pirate" scenes which go toward that as well. But cheer up! I hear they were filmed and will be included on the DVD.
I can live with the ending although it's not quite as good as the book's since it doesn't really change much about the aftermath of the incident. For the disaster this movie could have been if this is the only major change they had to make I'll accept it.
