| Fallen: One of the best movie endings ever, and not just because of a "whew, I'm glad that movie finally ended" feeling.

| Hmmmm...i really liked the movie, especially the sequences, in which an unseen demon runs after his victim just by using passengers tagging each other. But the ending was quite predictable and typical. I found this very lame. If they didn't want the demon to die they could have done something else than just reprising nearly 50% of all twilight zone endings... Oh, and get "Brotherhood of Wolves" and "Vidocq". I guess you will like them. Cheers, Jens |

| I quite enjoyed the ending myself, and didn't find it all that predictable. But then I seem to be a film maker's dream in that I'm happy to believe anything the film tells me while it's playing. I don't think I've ever found any film ending predictable. Still, a demonically posixed (sp?) cat and the Stones 'Sympathy for the Devil'. That's the sort of movie ending that eats your liver because you realise you can never do better without breaking the kitten labour laws or becoming a Hollywood director of some kind. |

| Oh well, won't be needing to see that movie now, seeing as I know the ending. |

| Jens hardly gave away the ending. The demon ends his opening monologue by saying 'Let me tell you about the time I almost died', so it's not really surprizing when the demon (Azazel if I remember correctly) survives. |

| Kind of reminds me of the Police Squad episode titled 'The Butler Did It'. |

| Heh, *now* the ending is given away, though - the opening monologue doesn't appear to be the demon, unless you've seen to the end. How very ruinous. RavenBlog spoilers 2002. |

| Hehehe...all spoiled! All spoiled! Naah, you should see the movie nevertheless, it is really great even if you know how it ends (what is, as mentioned above, no real surprise). Of course, it is well done, with the fitting stones song, which as well is used in movies very often for "introducing" the devil. But then, who couldn't resist to use it? |
