They did what Hollywood does best. Blow stuff up Bryce Send a noteboard - 19/09/2009 10:08:41 AM
Brandon Sanderson had something to say about this on one of the Writing Excuses podcasts. Can't remember which one, so I'll just link to the site in general.

Hollywood gets scared when things get too internal, and the audience really has to think about what's going on, what everything really means. So, they cop out and blow stuff up. It's just sad, really.
Formerly Dark Prophecy, now I'm just me.
