  • Book was better

  • What the hell they completely butchered the ending they should have stuck to the book

  • i absolutely love this movie, but the book is just so much better!!! especially the ending. i really like wargrave's godfather-like pose in that big chair with the cat. or like the mafia or something, which fits. i also find it freakin hilarious watching how lombard runs at the very end. :p. as usual, the book is absolutely better!!!!!!

  • OMG this is my favorite move. We were watching it in our class. ANd we all went ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh when the ending came. All the girls smiled and said "They look so good together."

  • Van dine's rule 3. "There must be no love interest. The business in hand is to bring a criminal to the bar of justice, not to bring a lovelorn couple to the hymeneal altar."

    what a pointless ending,u.n.owen would't have shown himself they destroyed his character

  • @abs1234321 Of course, but the ending fine for the movie because of who the killer is. If any other was the killer, then it would have ended the right way.

  • Ehh I sort of like this ending. Lombard blore and vera were my favs in the book. Glad to see that at least two of them made it but I like the book 10 times better

  • In the book, the Judge kills Armstrong by pushing him off the cliff. Lombard and Miss Claythorne find him in the rocks when the tide goes out. In the Doc and Judge meet on the beach. How did the Judge kill Armstrong. Could've poisoned his boos, but you see the Judge take a drink after Armstrong is already dead.

  • I actually liked this ending....Lombard and Vera were my favorites in the book and I was happy to see them outsmart Wargrave, and, wel.....LIVE! 

  • Damn... I didn`t see that ending coming!

  • The ending is good but I think Vera should have hanged herself, it would have made more sense

    I liked the ending of the book!

  • this was nothing like the book everone had died

  • Even though it was awful I believe Vera should've hanged herself.

  • That's not right...

  • Narracott never hangs himself smart.

  • This was wonderful Lombard/Davis/Charles fell in love with Vera and at the end crazy old boat river came i would have made a boat and take the puss with me

  • c'mon.... this is nothing more than a parody of the book then......-__-

  • Look at the end, there were 3 people dead, Wargrave kills himself, then theres 2. Narracott comes then theres 3 again, then vera and lombard leave which means 1 is alive, Narracott. Then Narracott hangs himslef and then there were none..

  • didn't vera hang herself in the book

  • Jajajajajajaja the ending was funny. Happy ending! Now thats what im talking about!

  • 2 little indian boys were supposed to die

    they didnt follow follow the book so the poem is a lie

  • I think that was a good ending. I liked Lombard, so I was glad to see that he lived in the movie.

  • shit ending everyone should die just like in the book

  • @falconsfan109 this was agatha christies alternate ending she used it when she changed the story into a play

  • @TheThebocaj Precisely.  She seemed to feel that the grim ending of the book wouldn't work well as a play, or be popular, so she came up with this one.

  • O.o WHAT?! THAT'S A STUPID ENDING!

  • shit movie !!!):

  • good book shit film

  • I Guess If All Turned Alive And Fred Narracott (Boat Man) (Exept The Judge) The Movie Wood've Been Better Lol

  • Oh My God The Ending Is So Cute Not Like The Story She Murdered Philip In The Story And Then Hanged Herself And Then There Were None I Guess Its And Then There Were Two

  • I <3 this book (well, movie), so confusing!

  • Agatha's novel and her play have different endings, something she did on purpose. Light-hearted fun is what the film is, nothing more. I do agree with others, the book's ending was the best. Real blood and gore in the novel.

    Lombard survived because she didn't really shot him. It was a ploy to trick the real murderer. Not so difficult to figure out.

  • a mi me gusto el final

  • XD he got ditched

  • No, I LOVE this film! The ending is different and maybe not that brilliant but still a very very enjoyable film!

  • How did Lombard get up again?

    The ending is quite strange, the book is much better!

  • wtf!!!!! the ending is gay........ how did ''Lombard'' survive????? and it doesn't go with the riddle/??

  • i like the movie ending better then the book

  • that was the dumest movie in the entire friggin' world

  • WOW movie is deffinetly alot worse than the book. the book ending is so much better

  • WOW lol book is deffinetly better!

  • man the video keeps freezing. stupid flash. I want HTML5 on firefox now!

  • 3investegators... Very good point, never really thought of that too much

  • wow, what the fuck is that? a fucking naive comedy for puberties?

    watch the russian Govorukhin's movie.

  • "And Then There Were None" is now true to life, since sadly all the actors from this movie are gone.

  • the first theatre play written by agatha christie ended just the same.

  • if i were a movie writer id remake this movie but keep evry thing in the book i wudnt change a thing cuz i mean both movie and book r gud but i think tht it shud stick to its roots

  • @plurpleplinky why would Pyscho require a color-xerox remake to begin with? It is perfect.

  • They had to change the ending because the book was so popular that no one would have been surprised - thus they added the twist and pleased the romantics in the audience at the same time:) This is by far the best version of the book. I do like the 1965 version too.

  • my god this ending is HORRIBLE! I wish there was a stage version with the novel's ending! Why did Agatha Christie sell out!?

  • man, the 50's sucked.

  • the movie is a bunch a bullshit the book is much better

  • .....And so the Russian film version remains the best!

  • BLOODY STUPID!

    The book is 110% better! I ask people to read the book rather than to watch this crap and waste time!

  • And then there were....two. /: wtf

  • The book ending was different.

  • @iri1206 what was the book ending ?

  • the book's ending is so much better

  • Yeah, tell me about it. A modern version with serious actors... that scene could be done so well... send chills up my spine!

    Oh, and although I understand the need for a happy ending, this is one story that HAS to end with everybody dead.

  • Tru Dat

  • Great book and movie

  • That is soooo screwed up veara hangs heself because she thought thats what Hego wanted and he was crazy !!!!

  • wtf

  • Lombard and Claythornes trust got fucked up in the book thanks to Suckdicks Wargrave.

  • the ending is so different.

    and why dont they even bother that 8 people just died? They seem too happy in the end, simply going home after having a holiday. Unnormal i guess. :-)

    I prefer the book version... its more scary. :-)

  • I like the ending of the book better,

    it's probably the only book I read that didn't have a happy ending and I liked that.

    They kinda ruined it for me :(

  • every evil villian has a cat

  • I liked the movie very much ,But having to find the numbers that follow was a lot to deal with.

    all in all thank you!.i enjoyed it!

  • The movie's ending was(in my opinion) SO MUCH BETTER than the book's ending because it had a happy ending.Don't you agree?

  • and Lombard/Vera=LOVE!!!! HAHA they tottaly had something going there. I noticed in the book.

  • @Dandelyon98 No, the fact it had a darker ending is what I liked about the ending in the book.

  • I just happened to pick this book up when I was in 7th grade. And i'm glad I did.

  • Comment removed

  • It's nice that Lombard and Vera escaped.

  • Doesnt Vera love Hugo?! They totally messed up the book but I liked it. I guess stupid HOLLYWOOD wanted a happy ending. For the most part its good.

  • Actually, it was actually Agatha Cristie herself who chose to have this alternative ending. Although I agree, they should have kept the books ending, it is false that the ending changing was Hollywood's idea.

    I believe from reading the comments, she rewrote the play's ending, as well.

  • @wolfeyesmariah Indeed. From what I understand, Cristie herself changed the ending for the movie and play version. It's still annoying though. I don't usually mind happy endings, but the book's ending was far more clever and chilling.

  • @wolfeyesmariah I think AC thought the book's ending (where the exposition is in the epilogue) won't work in a play. I really hate this ending, even though it was AC's idea.

  • @AStoryOfMyLife Yes, it was Agatha Christie who changed the ending because the 'darker' ending wouldn't have worked as well as a stage play. (although I agree it's a far better ending when it's in print). She did the same with 'Death on the Nile'. She re-wrote that for the stage without Poirot in it!

  • @AStoryOfMyLife atleast the killer wasnt changed unlike the game...although miss brent wouldve made a good killer too :)

  • the ending was pretty up setting but in a way it was pretty good. the books ending is a lot better i love how he decideds to think fast and go for his gun and bam hes done for oh well it was alright good movie!

  • This ending is stupid.

    They would still both be arrested for the murders, the fact that they can alibi each other wouldn't really stand up in court.

    Rule of thumb - The book is always better than the film !

  • @AnElephantsChild I hear that

  • @AnElephantsChild i disagree, In my opinion, although it is mean, it seems to me that they would leave Fred Narcott on the island, which is why they told him to "go get everyone" while they ran. this would make it seem like Fred Narcott was the murderer

  • @AnElephantsChild But what proof is there that them two killed anyone? Isn't it a bit weird that although they had a gun no one was shot to death and what reason would they have to set up the noose?

  • it was a sweet ending but not true to the book at all. the ending was the twist which was the best part of the whole movie! i dont think they shouldve messed with the ending but whatever...hollywood

  • GRRR !!! Horrible ending. The real one is SOO much better, It just makes me SO angry that they have the nerve to ruin a classic. If I become a director someday, I'll make And Then There Were None, I'd just follow the book, and it'd be 10 times better than THIS!!!

  • Ha little kitty cat :)

  • WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT­TT!!!! OMG!!!!! Like its cool that they stayed together is AWSOME but but!! it doesnt make it interesting!!! The book is like way better than this!! Omg and I saw the whole thing!! >:( waste of time!!!!

  • Yeah I KNOW! They ruined the whole point!! I mean, sure I would have liked a little romantic interested between Phillip and Vera, but...she loved Hugo...this ending makes no sense.

  • trust me iam super pissed @ the ending

  • The book is so much better compared to this crap.

  • OH MY GOD THAT ENDING SUCKED !!!!!!!1

  • I really like how Lombard is so protective of Vera. I like the ending how they bot survive and are together!!!! Although, is it just me, because I picture Lombard to be more handsome, like "Rhett Butler" from gone with the wind!!!!! (And Vera kinda looks like scarlet)

  • Really? I acually liked this ending alot! I liked the other ending too, but this ending I just like better.......probably bcuz ima girl......chick flick ending.......LOL

  • Sooooo Hollywood!Agatha wrote the ending much better!

  • BOOOOOO! The ending of the book was classic, this was pathetic. The Vera in the book was the most villanous of them all, killing a child so she could marry a rich man. I guess Hollywood has been ruining great books long before I was born.

  • damn i dnt usually read books but when i read this in my english 12 class, i was shocked!!!that book had a badass ending!!!

  • Yo! Whas up? The ending is waaaay wrong! She was supposed to have hanged herself and wargrave was supposed to have shot himself in the head for real after he made sure that she was dead! THIS ISN'T RIGHT!!!!!!!!!

  • @Kurama90210 but like wargrave said before he died, once the people find out about those nine dead people, they're obviously going to suspect vera for murders of the people so she is going to be hanged, but not the island but after her death sentence

  • Whhaaaaaaaaat.! Thuh Book Was Waay Better.

  • Wargrave was way more twisted in the book. Saying he grew up, simply wanting to commit a murder. But I loved the ending of this video :)

  • Well.. I can say I did NOT foresee that!

  • The novel was adapted as a play and this is the "play ending". This is a more commercially "attractive" ending. But I agree as a purist they should have ended it with all 10 dying.

  • I wish they would remake this movie again.

  • Yes, they should. Today's technology - this movie can be CLASSIC... again.

  • i just love it when Vera Claythorne screams. Ahhh, so funny^^

  • aw what a romantic happy ending!! FUCK It

  • wait wait what?!?!?! there all supposed to die !!!!!!!!! thats wat it said in the book (man people need to read more -.-)

  • LMAO

    stupidest ending ever!!!

  • i totally agree

  • What the hell, this is a terrible ending.

    They're all supposed to die, EVERY DAMN ONE!

  • i know. i read the book and everyone dies.

  • i read the book in french and the end is totally diferent omg!!!

  • aww... I enjoyed the ending.

    XD Reading the book I always felt there was something going on between Vera and Lombard-- I was hoping he'd replace Hugo for her-- and in the movie, he's so protective of her. It's kind of cute, and the hug was too XD

  • my school did the play to this book and i saw on saturday,it was so good but it was a little different but it was still very good.

  • She killed a boy, he killed many people, fuck it, we need mother fucking HAPPY END THE MOVIE IS BULLSHIT

  • I wish every book based movie, would be exactly like the book. word for word.

  • Queer ending. O_o

  • there is something wrong the judge should kill the girl and all of them die nicluding the judge the neding is wrong and its not acroding to the song its acording to how of each of the criminals mureded hell be killed

  • The girl hung herself, the judge soot himself, and the murders acording to the song, read the book

  • This ending wasnt so bad, it was pretty clever I thought

  • this end is soo stupid!!!

    the book is soo much better

  • i had to read this book again for the 3rd time since im in high school now and I swear the book is way better. But in the movie if I was vera i would go on a fucking rampage with the gun and kill lombard and kill everyone else and when the damn cops come ill have all of the bodies burned and put away and say that they all took a raft back to devon because they couldn't wait but i was too scared. Then when they notice the 9 other people are missing I would vanish to Italy and live secretly.

  • It was all done far too tongue in cheek! Also what was the point of Lombard saying that there were NO footprints around the body, when later we see that the Judge had been standing there!

  • The footprints were vanished because of the tide, obviously.

  • man i hate vera

  • ?????

  • This is stupid. The book is a godzillion times better.

  • why does he say 'never should trust a woman' at the end?

  • when he says 'shoot me' and she says 'it won't hit you', why is it that the bullet wont hit him??

  • its so that the killer (who is watching them from the window), thinks that she shot him, so then the killer thinks that its only him and her left on the island.

  • She is reassuring him that she won't kill him...He said he would fall to pretend he was dead.

  • I thought the same thing but upon watching the clip a third time.....Remember when they both said to each other just prior to the shooting......''I trust you and you trust me''...........Movie Dialogue in those days moved at a fast clip.....so the audience is following at a faster cadence and assumption

  • robin williams lookalike much?

  • I preffered the book ending much better... This was a little boring (no offense) They should have followed the books storyline, it was far more interesting!

  • what that she hang her self out of her guilt and then someone finds the judges note?

  • yeah.. except nobody found the judges note in the book =) I just liked that ending better I guess because the book was spookie and the movie kind of ruins that climax! This movie could have been renamed as "And then there were two" cos Vera Claythorn and Phillip Lombard both live...

  • hey wait up. in the book no one finds the note? how does the reader know about the kiler then? yeah and i agree, climax totally ruined. but dont tell me u wernt shitting urself at the end hoping it would end happy!!!

  • lol yeah I kinda knew what was gonna happen when I read the book because a friend had read it before me...

    In the book it only shows you the letter justice wargrave wrote and that he had thrown it out to sea but it never says that anyone had found it... An unsolved mystery lol =D I did enjoy the book though despite the fact I was creeped out by it...=)

  • i thought vera wood hang herself like in the book

  • im the peom at the end it says one little nigger boy, left all anlone, he went tio hand himself then there were none! so who was the killer at the end?

  • I think she says the whole '1 little indian boy left all alone, he went and got married and then there were none' because in the original poem it says: One little Injun livin' all alone, He got married and then there were none

  • lol now i see why everyone likes books more then the movies. i jus finished readon the book n thought id skim the movie clips on here. that book was epic as hell. i was listenin to the theme song for Saw while readin it xP i always thought it was strange that the judge kept playin the part as the leader of the group..well any ways i gotta finish up a packet on this book for tomorrow. good book!

  • lol nice ending.. I remember Vera said from the book "One little Soldier boy Left all alone, He got married and then there were none" lol ^^ nice ending, but poor Sailor... though I like the Manuscript where Wargrave confessed his plan...

  • wasint a happy ending! now that poor sailor will be judged as the killer!! Jeeez! Looked like a very friendly guy

  • What was with the cat?

  • i was dying at the end of the movie LMAO

  • when vera said that someone was still alive I was like omg theres only 30 seconds left! ha ha i knew they would end up together :)

  • the ending is very happy here, but in the book, its the opposite!!!! LOL very clever

  • honestly, this was more like the video game than the book....after reading the book i played the PC version and the names of the characters and the ending were somewhat the same...

    but this movie wasn't that shocking...because most movies based off books don't follow the book exactly anyways lol

  • Vera didnt hang herself here???

  • ahhh, I dont like this ending

    I prefer the original one of the book, just because the mystery remained mystery and mister owens wasn't revealed

  • I am a little disapointed. I remember that when I was rreding the book, I was so tensed during the ending, but this was way diffrent. But at least it was a good alternate ending :)

  • the ending was funny

  • re: LordZeratul86 - as multiple people have said, the altered ending was written by Agatha Christie when she adapted it as a play. If this is an insult to the author then Christie insulted herself.

  • If this ending were to happen in the book, I would have approved, only because I thought Vera and Lombard shared a connection and thought it was a pity they both died, one of them being shot by the other.

    However, this ending is cheesy in movie form, but oh well. Imagine how awesome a 2010 version of this movie would be!

  • Fantastic Film! Like the Book!

    Also if the end of the book is better than this end.

    But this end is also great, beause it's happy.

    How nice couple Lombard and Vera <3

  • the ending to the book was sooooo much better than this ending.

  • this is sooo great!!!!

  • This is a dramatization of the consummate Agatha Christie book, the benchmark for the whodunit. Each of the characters is nicely portrayed by accomplished actors. The pacing, the subdued dialogue, all make this film work, . I relish this author and the movies and movie portrayals of her books.

  • Wow that was not a good ending.

  • is a very charming movie,thought in fact,deceptive respect the novel

  • what a bad ending and a horrible screenplay...

    the NOVEL was the best I have ever read. Poetic justice was so well written in Dame Agatha Christie's book while the film and the video game it all ruined the concept of the book.

    Shame on it.

    That film is an insult to the author with a sick hollywood ending.

  • Just FYI Agatha Christie herself wrote a play version of "Ten Little Indians", with this ending to it. If you read "The mousetrap and other plays" it's in there. Although the movie still doesn't cover everything, and makes some changes the basics are still there. However, I hate that they changed the ending to be more comedic.

  • Vera does really kill Lombard and hang herself.

  • OMG THE BOOK WAS SOOOO MUCH BETTER geez the movie just ruins it

  • the book is better....

  • Wow the ending was totally different!! Thr book was much better!

  • okay, im sorry, i absolutely HATED the movie. the book gave me chills and i was afraid to read it at times, but the movie didn't scare me at all. and i agree, i really wanna see a movie that follows the book.

  • guys really the Russian - Soviet version is the best. It's grave it's perfect acting and it's totally to the book the neding and the charcaters just how they should be!

    "Desyat negrityat " is the best. just watch it f you want the real thing!

  • I have only read the play, and I thought the movie wasn't as good. It was too vauge on some details, plus the judge wasn't shot by Lombard. Also, what was the point of having a different man other than Lombard be there? It added nothing to the story really. But kudos to whoever put this up, I liked it nonetheless

  • The trouble with most of these movies is that all the endings are the same as this one. We need a good one to end like the book.

  • ooh... better ending than the book. I like it when more than just the villian does the scheming. smart lombard. I couldn't believe the book. vera shooting him and then killing herself... maybe women were portrayed as easily frazzled and stupid back then, but not so much now. the book's ending would be disappointing in a remake nowadays.

  • the ending sucked. doesn't vera hang herself at the end of the book when shes all alone?

  • Yes but for the play Agatha Christie wrote a completely different ending which they chose for the movie.

  • i finished the book about five days ago, and when i got to this part i pictured vera to be on the last threads of her sanity. i really would like to see a modern remake of this novel.

  • oh wow, that ending was cold. Poor guy.

    but I figured out who "U.N. Owen" was about half way through the movie. I wasn't toally positive, but I was pretty sure.

    I really enjoyed this movie! I'm glad I watched it! The Wii game for it is really really lame though. So don't even bother playing that game

  • what made you believe it was the judge. just curious.
