Alternate Ending...
Theory... maybe spoilers
I didn't expect much. But I laughed the whole time.
Incredible animation. Terrible movie.

How did this guy not go to jail?! Did he not defraud any of those minors (not that all the kids were minors...) with the loans he had them take out just to pay his program?
My theory: whatever you experienced first is better. I liked every book I read better than the movie until I read Bourne Identity. What a slog of a book! The movie was way shorter. But my brother told me I was crazy. He read the book before seeing the movie.
Same with songs. Van Halen's You Really Got Me - I heard that first and fell in love with it. Then I heard the Kinks original. I thought it was lame.
+1 - The Shining is the only one I agree with, just because the movie is so much scarier. The book is a better plotline arguably. The Dead Zone, Mist, and Stand By Me weren't even close as far as the detail goes in my opinion. And Misery... SO toned down. Breaking his legs with a hammer? Please. In the book she sawed them off and cauterized them with a torch. Annie was a savage in the book. And what she did to the cop...
And The Running Man - it was more like Harrison Ford's The Fugitive than the Arnie Swarzenegger clown show. That has to be the all time worst King adaption. Absolutely nothing like the book. Lawnmower Man is right on its heels.
Did you happen to catch the dialogue with the priest? It was the one where he confessed to having homosexual thoughts. Don't worry, it seems the whole internet missed that part too.
I think it was pretty clear through his confession to the priest that he was having sexual urges towards Padraic. This wasn't acceptable in the community, so he ghosted him in a most violent fashion.
Unfortunately you can't expel someone for being suspicious or potentially a future criminal. And very few, relatively, parents are available or prepared for home schooling. This problem is far more complex.
All you need is the giant number and the crypto is yours. That's why they're so guarded.
Nope. The first one was a Pocahontas ripoff. This one is more like... The Patriot or some other movie where the hero tries to be peaceful but ends up leading a war effort.
Agreed. The surprise factor was right up there with The Matrix for me. (Don't read that wrong please- this movie is not on par with The Matrix in my opinion, they just both supremely surprised me.)
I went with a work group for free, which was the only reason I attended. It was late after a long day, and I didn't really enjoy the first hour and even started to fall asleep. But after it turned into Water Mode, I was hooked. Very well executed. I liked it far better than the first Avatar.
I was getting werewolf signs early on. Shot of the full moon, murders without eating the bodies, and a wolf that didn't die from a regular bullet. And finally, a skinned body that didn't die.
By the end I still wasn't sure - it seemed the killer was leaving bodies out similar to the yuppies leaving out trash for the bears, thus giving an alpha wolf a taste for human flesh.
The father knew he would be faced with moving to the city if he didn't get rid of the threat - whatever that threat really was. This movie broke almost all of the rules by letting the dog die, silently letting the father die, and likely the daughter die. While I like easy enjoyment of cookie cutter Marvel films, I also like to be surprised.
I was hoping for some kind of twist where the wolf was protecting them from the killer. I'd like to hear the director's vision - I'm thinking we missed some of their points, and it wasn't our fault. They could have done a much better job putting this together. But I still enjoyed it largely.
