COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Not worth watching submitted by ferielp on August 17, 2018, 12:59pm Haven't read the book, but the movie was unexciting and the lore of the universe they were trying to develop felt childish and not fully fleshed out.

Pass on this one submitted by valjean on August 24, 2018, 10:21pm This movie just picked at a couple concepts and characters from the book series, and slapped them onto a generic action flick aimed at teens. It plays it very safe, with big stars, big special effects, generic standard story and a 'relatable' main character. Ultimately, it's watchable, but nothing special, with nothing substantially to do with Stephen King's books.

Horrible submitted by meganta on December 17, 2018, 11:41pm Seriously bad, cringe worthy. It's cheesy and predictable and the acting and story is done badly. Apparently the movie is nothing like the book. Save your time because it's really, honestly not worth it.
