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.

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.
