So, I’ve been complaining about this film for long enough that I’ve heard the source material argument before. I’ve not read the original book but just conclude that either A: the book really did end like the film, in which case it was never worthy of making a film about, or B: the book had a better, more nuanced ending which wasn’t captured by the film. Either way it’s a terrible film that wasted my time!
Ah yep. It stuck to the source material.

If that’s your only issue with it, then perhaps worth a rewatch. I really enjoyed the destruction and chaos.
