The Road

[Monty911]

Watched this last night and really enjoyed it although the ending was fairly dissapointing .

Anyone else watched it ?

Haven't seen it yet but I enjoyed (if that's the right word for such an unrelenting grim vision of the future) the book.

I assume the ending is the same as the book? If so, it's about all that saved the book from being a full-on turn-on-Radiohead-and-open-a-vein experience on finishing it!

I've just read the book, and I have to say I was extremely disappointed. 307 pages, and for the first 300 not a lot happens! Don't think I'll be catching the film.

I am inclined to agree; the book meanders along and I can't see an interesting film being made out of it without 'embellishment'.

I do think the book could have been shorter......

The book of Eli was much better.
