Ok, no tragedy. How about "disappointment" that a century of a more expressive way of story telling with moving pictures, and later audio plus moving pictures, is something to be settled for "as far as movies go". The art form never really did tell a better story and has regressed from what was attempted decades ago.
Words on paper always could tell a better story, and movable type still beats motion pictures that way, but fewer each generation can be bothered to read. Around here two healthy paragraphs call for "cliffs". Suggesting reading the book is a sure way to get any comment about a movie ignored. This celebration of reading laziness has progressed to the point that even mentioning the book is a foul somehow, and promoting the original story - without even suggesting looking at the book, is book snobbery.
I appreciate you pointing out how little expectation one should have for a movie. Saddens me most of the viewing public agrees with you.
Cliffs. J/K.
After the first half of the movie, it IMO turned into some kind of botched attempt at making a better zombie movie than Resident Evil, except, Alice dies. I thought the ending SUCKED, they set up him being a legend HORRIBLY; he should have died fighting them off, not running at the sucked with a 'nade in his hand, something he could have accomplished and LIVED. Should have had more closure at the end too. The whole Shelby GT commercial scene, while cool, should've been cut in half and had at least that much added to the very end of the movie.
