Yes the end was.. not dissapointing but could have been better. I expected a better human connection between Miranda and Andy, but since Miranda was a "devil", and now that I know the character in the original book is more bad and "unhuman" than in the movie, then I understand that end.

And if the character had been anywhere near as bad in the book - there's no way in HELL that ending ever would have happened.

I hated the end and thought it was completely out of character for Miranda. Overall thougH I was disapointed with the whole movie because I had JUST read the book.

The book title is appropriate (the Devil) the movie - not so much, she was far from "devil".

Interesting..
I have not read the book, so I had no idea. But the end did make sense to me cause, sometimes people label their boss as a devil or ogre. But when you finally know the person, he/she is a human being like us.

So I expected more of that at the end, and there was no enough in my opinion. That's what actually was a bit dissapointing to me.

But to those who read the book, I see it was completely the opposite.

In the book you see NO humanity in Miranda at all. that movie scene with her upset over her divorce? NEVER would happen in the book - the character in the book was truly the devil - just awful...so I was expecting more of that from the film.

I don't think the film was bad...it just wasn't what I was expecting.
