Alternative ending to 'I Am Legend'

[Madame Adequate]

That ending was ridiculous. Obviously they were trying to show that the "vampires" were capable of thinking rather than just being crazed rabid humans, but did they have to do it in such a stinky way?

Ugh. Why couldn't they have just kept the whole movie closer to the book?

Because you can just read the book if you want the story the book tells.

Wait, what? The entire point of book-to-movie adaptations is a visual representation of a preexisting story.

Really? I've never heard that before. Except from people who take offense that their fave book wasn't faithfully adapted. I have always understood it to be a reinterpretation of the story - because you cannot film a book. It just doesn't work. It can't be done. You change things, that's just how it works. That's why you don't get faithful adaptations. Because they're impossible.
