評分和評論

Why are films of Stephen Kings storied always brought to the big screen so badly? reduced an epic story, up there with the lord of the rings, to a childs adventure movie and a poorly constructed one at that.. Thankfully it used so little of the original story it leaves practically no spoilers for a potential remake. Avoid like the plague if you even enjoyed one of he 6 books this has condensed into 1hour 30 minutes. I have sat through some really bad films and enjoyed them for their flaws but I think the 99p i paid to rent it was still overcharging.

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.

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.
