Caesar P. @RT04084040 Apr 26 I found this movie to be incredibly moving, especially the scenes where the older man reflects on his hometown. Those moments, along with the darker ones, make this film a powerful exploration of the battle between good and evil.

If you're like me and read the book yesterday, this movie really is a must-see. It's great to see faithful adaptations of King's books! If you haven't read the book, it might fall a bit flat for you - just being honest. So, go read the book cover-to-cover first, then come back here.

I find him too chatty. For the critics to call this a 'mood' piece, or whatever dirt they threw back then, they are disingenuous. The characters were flawed, innocent, crazy and somehow beautiful. This is a different kind of movie. It's not a typical trope through boy meets girl, boy has a flawed mother, there's a bully that the boy finds his strength to beat back, all tied together with Anthony Hopkins doing what he does best, playing a crazy, misunderstood, psychic, yes, psychic. Somehow, with the instincts of a moth, they all face the flames, and manage to be better or manage to die. We too, end up staring at the pain holding on to our last breath with hope. Loved this movie. See more Read all reviews
