However it's not the worst Stephen King adaptation by a long shot and I did enjoy it the last time I saw it, just not as much as I thought I would. |
I'd say it's now my favourite Stephen King movie, just pipping The Shining.
I can't say how well it adapts the source as I've never been able to face the slab of paper the size of a smart car that is the novel. Personally I think the adult sections work rather well though it's the childhood stuff that makes it.
