Bewertungen und Rezensionen

Having enjoyed the books I was looking forward to see how they had managed to move such a leviathan of a story onto the big screen. Unfortunately they failed, by watering down and disassembling a complex story into a child friendly fairy tale they have managed to create a film which bares no resemblance to the source material.

I really liked. Never heard of this movie until I saw it on play movies. watched the trailer and thought it looked like a nice movie to watch. Its the kind of story I really like. They didn't build up characters that were later killed which I like. The story of the boy wasn't shown much in the trailer so that was a nice surprise. And I would love a possible sequel where the boy is grown up and over powered. That would be nice. So far only Japanese and Chinese light novels have capitalized on this very popular genre.

For everyone who is saying they don't understand the harsh comments. You clearly haven't read the books. 7 amazing books condensed into 90 minutes with so many characters missing. A dire misrepresentation of the best Stephen king story ever. The film should never have been made.
