Movie Review by B Movie Ben
March 17th, 2007

A great book done an injustice

I am not a Stephen King fan. Works of his that I have read over the years can easily be counted on one hand. It just so happens that this is one of those and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was anxiously awaiting the movie, especially as i felt that Anthony Hopkins would be great for the role.

I was mistaken. The book became a disaster as a screenplay, Hopkins came off as a creepy pedophile, and a wonderful story of growing up amid strange circumstances became a movie not worth watching. I just wish they had done a better job. Even the score sucked! I have never been so disappointed in a long-awaited movie.

I'm a huge King fan. And this movie was a complete snoozefest for me.
