Ralph is unimpressed because he lost his chance to signal a boat. While the hunters were hunting the pig, Ralph saw a ship on the horizon, but the twins and jack, all responsible for watching the fire, were hunting and no one was on the mountain to keep the fire going.

How can the ending can be changed in the movie versions of Lord of the Flies?

There are many possible ending which could have been used in either of the movie versions to change them from the endings which were actually used (essentialy the same ending as the novel). For example Jack and his hunters could have killed Ralph. Alternatively Ralph could have killed Jack and then the hunters could either have adopted Ralph as their rightful leader or killed him in revenge. The entire island could have burned and killed all, or some, of the boys.
