I saw it on YouTube, but I still left the cinema happy with the ending. The whole point the film was leading up to was the wallet scene, not Liam punching wolves.

I loved the movie it was emotionally a roller coaster by the time the credits started rolling I was crying my eyes out.. I recently experienced a loss in my life and the gray just brought all of my emotions to the surface. It really is a powerfull movie. I loved the way it ended as a battle scene would have cheapened it just a little. IMHO
 
Six billion humans destroying this entire planet, and the wolves that we just recently took off the endangered species list are the over-populated pests... :lol

Sorry for your loss, I lost a family member this year as well. I agree with you that if done wrong showing Neeson's last stand with the wolves would have cheapened the film and detracted from the overall experience, but it's the film makers job to make it work, and if they truly had no intentions of actually showing the scene then they should never have made it such a big part of the marketing campaign. I am a huge cinaphile and I can think of numerous times where this technique in ending a film worked such as with Butch Cassidy and the Sun Dance Kid or with Thelma and Louise, but IMO here it just didn't work for me. (and yes I stayed to the end credits it helped a little) Still a great film though, I would definatley watch it again. That scene in the airplane were Neeson talks down the first survivor to die was IMO one of the most realistic and powerful death scenes ever filmed.

Well they did film the fight according to the director, so it could end up as a deleted scene on the Blu-ray

yes but if they took it out of the original theatrical versions chances are it won't live up to my expectations and will likely be disappointing. I still plan on buying this film on bluray regardless, I can't justify judging the entire movie a waste just b/c I didn't like the end. It is definatley one of the best man vs. nature films and man vs. beast films I've ever seen. the only man vs. beast movie I would rank higher is Ghost and the Darkness.
 
Can i take my 10 year old girl to this? (I'm going to anyways, but i just wanted a few opinions)

She likes Wolves! :)
 
Seriously not for a 10 year old imo but of course its your shout dude
 
Well i just say this cause i have watched the Exorcist at 8 as an example and other "bad" movies at a young age. (i think i'm ok) I am not one to coddle my kid, but i don't force them into inappropriate things either.(this just doesn't seem that bad to me from the previews) I just think alvin and the chimpmunks needs a break and it's a case of............

Is there lots of profanity? (could be the deal-breaker for me)

Liam Neeson: "We're gonna shove a stick up this ____er's ass and eat him"

Just one of the few awesome one-liners. :lol

Whoa - this movie is very powerful. It's such a testosterone driven film, but still very touching. They definitely need to re-release for next year's Oscars - Neeson is truly great.

I had a little problem with the CG wolves - almost too cartoony at times, but when you can't see them they are genuinely scary. And when were wolves in films really scary recently?

Did you know that for most of the shots they had animatronic wolves, and then CGI'd more in? Pretty damn cool. Also they had some trained wolves on set as well. Probably for chase scene's etc.

That's damn good animatronics though.
