I was quite enjoying this film all the way through (apart from thinking that DiCaprio was woefully miscast - he's far too good-looking and charming to play such an annoying and charisma-less character) and then came - the END. I have never in my life come across such cinematic disappointment. How the film's editor can sleep at nights I will never know. All the tension, all the tragedy, all the realism was blown away in one fell swoop and may as well not have happened. Why didn't they just screen an episode of the Brady Bunch instead of spending millions of dollars and wrecking (so I hear) an entire Pacific island? Altogether unforgivable.
