If you are not a Stephen King "Constant Reader", you may like this movie. If you are, then be prepared to see something where Sai King has forgotten the face of his father (and so did Ron Howard in producing this mess.)
The casting was decent. Some of the visuals were good, but the script... oh my gosh... terrible. I know this is an adaptation, and I was hoping for something as good as Shawshank and Green Mile... but I was sorely disappointed. There was homage to many of Kings other books, which was good, but maybe they could have spent more time expanding this movie?
Looks like there will be sequels, but not sure if I will go see them.
I'm going to go read the books again. For the 19th time. Erase the memory of this movie from my mind.
