Title: DISAPOINTING AT BEST
Review: If I had not read the book this movie would have made little or no sense at all, (not that it was very understandable even having read the book). A great book which could have been a great movie, but never achieved the promise of the cast, or story. I was really looking forward to the film being a "constant reader" as Mr. King calls us, to the conflict between good and evil, the Duddits connection (from watching the movie you have no idea of what the connection between him and the other boys/men was). The story line was choppy, trying to fill in the gaps with a few flashback scenes, you never really got the point that Mr. Gray had taken over one of the friends, (they had to have a character tell you this so you knew what was happening). The lack of detail in the second half of the movie was confusing, and the new ending was a disappointment.
Is the review positive or negative?
