Title: Another Butchering of a Stephen King novel
Review: I was thoroughly disappointed with this movie, as I usually am with those adapted from Stephen King novels. I read the book first (big mistake if you want to enjoy the movie), and found myself utterly let down by the re-writing of the story. I was really hoping to see the plot on the big screen, and instead I saw someone else's misguided attempt to play down the intensity of a profound topic: war. This movie should never have been made if the writers/directors did not intend to stick with Stephen King's exact writings, with exceptions made for time constraints. Frankly, they didn't even scratch the surface, and the changes they made were appalling.
