Never read Minority Report's source material. How did the ending stray (though from what I know about the author, I'd guess it was pretty bleak in the book). I see your point in some cases. "A.I." was damn near brilliant until that god awful ending. And I loved "War of the Worlds" in so many ways--the alien walkers were terrifying, emitting a sound almost as scary as the Shadows on B5. But they ruined the movie for me by insisting on including kids, which destroyed the whole thing.
-------------- Original message -------------- From: Daryle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Same thing with everything Spielberg touches post Close Encounters -- the ending. Nothing is as bad an ending as "A.I.", to be sure, but Minority Report could have stayed a little truer to the book for me.
