The book ends with a climax and a minor amount of resolution, enough that you're interested. The movie... well, I'm sure you're all familiar with Lord of the Rings' Battle of Helm's Deep. The GC movie ends with a battle like that, only the stop halfway through it, declare that the good guys won, and just roll the credits. It's not that it's different, it's that the film's ending just plain doesn't work. There’s a difference in how the book ends and how the movie ends.

You might already know that, but if not, that's the FYI.
