I just wanted to get some others thoughts on the movie....mine. WTF !!!! Movie started off kickass and then the dog and him die. What a shitty ending !

read the book... it's completely diffrent... still a kinda WTF ending... but COMPLETELY DIFFRENT...

still not sure which I like better

book was better IMO, i hate it when hollywood adjusts things for a happy ending. cheapened the signifigance of the character, not to mention the title. it was supposed to mean that he as the last human alive had become a mythical monster like the vampire society he had accidentally created. but eh i spose id have to expect hollywood to screw things up

yeah... they went in completely different directions... really... the only thing they shared were the disease... the woman... and... that's about it. and even those were different... oh well... both were decent... though now that I think about it (it's been a year or so since i've read the book... I do like the book better... it was a weird ending but like you said... it wasn't that "Hollywood happy ending"

yeah its kinda like comparing do androids dream of electric sheep to blade runner to the directors cut lol all three have wildly different interpretations

It seems that Hollywood is killing off the main characters in movies, more & more. I knew that when his dog died his time was nearing the end.

On another note, if the world was crawling with zombies, the last place I would wanna be is Manhatten Island.....shit, move to the country, like they did in 29 Days .
