Colin should have died.

Plain and simple. I get that it sounds harsh but it would've been much more poetic if Colin actually died at the end, leaving Lord Craven alone with Mary as his only family and with Mary sadly clinging to Dicken. Sad I know. But just better. Go watch The Mighty.

That's just plain sick. Colin didn't die in the original book, nor does he die in other film versions. The whole point was that the Garden healed him

What you said makes no sense at all.

If Colin died, it'd defeat the whole point of the movie.

What cmulwee001 said makes sense to me. I totally disagree with drummer0913.

You must be a lot of fun at parties.
