This wouldn't have made the movie perfect, but it would've made the movie a hell of a lot better, imho.

Better ending indeed. Closer to the book's original ending than the "Hollywood special".
That's what I thought too. Obviously, a big fan of the book would still have been dissapointed, but the ending they used left what the film itself implied throughout the first half unresolved! And was stupid. I like this one much better, but I cannot with certainty say that it would make me like the movie as much more as it does now, had I not seen the disapointing crappy theatrical ending first.

-Vampires were lame, thoughtless, cookie cutter CGI monsters
-Nelville was a typical hollywood superman instead of being a real person with everyday problems in an apocalypse
-Nelville searches for a cure instead of extermination...
I could go on but we went over this in the other thread. The new ending, or really any ending, cannot solve the movie's basic problems of laziness on the part of the writers.
I hate to sound like an elitist book snob, but please read the book people. This had the potential to be one of the best horror movies of all time and the people who made the movie couldn't even scrape together a decent popcorn blockbuster.

That's right, fuck crazy ass Tom Cruise!

The 'New cover' version of the book (with Will Smith) does not allude to the other short stories... which had me seriously confused for a bit.
The copyright surprised me too. I should sit down some weekend and type up my list of post apoc books here, for shits and giggles to see what all people have read.

The new ending is way more eye rolling then the theatrical.
They let him go? BULLSHIT!
It was what they were alluding to throughout the film though. You can say it was a dumb direction to take the movie to begin with, but what they did theatrically was ignore the first two thirds of the movie and slap a make-shift ending on.
I can't say for sure if the ending would seem as much of an improvement if I hadn't seen the theatrical ending at all. From here though, it is at least sticking to the plot of the first 2/3rds of the movie.
For what it's worth, anyone who would take this over Omega Man should have their head examined.

The fact they saw a wall full of their dead comrads and yet let him go just because he gave them back the chick AFTER THEY HAD HIM CORNERED made no sense. It was a copout hollywood feelgood ending, complete with happy family driving off into the sunset.

I did not mean, obviously, that throughout the movie it was implied that monsters love not killing people.
