Not Impressed

Rating: 4/10 (3 October 2007)

I'd like to preface this by saying that I've never read the novel and I know that sometimes that can make a difference in your opinion of the movie.
(spoilers)
HOWEVER... I thought this movie was in the bad to awful range. There were no shocking moments (no "shocking" moments that weren't pathetically predictable, that is). I got the idea that electronics don't work in 1408 but, like another commenter mentioned, he is able to use wireless internet. but, don't worry, the internet goes down/gets too shaky/something to make communication complicated (i saw it in theaters awhile ago), which makes the fact that he was able to use it to begin with COMPLETELY realistic. The ending was an average one which was not effective in its attempt to pull up the rest of the below average storyline. The only light at the end of the tunnel for this movie was Samuel L Jackson, who I love, and who did a very good, very creepy job. But, even so, I would definitely not recommend this movie.
