Great movie with some flaws

Rating: 8/10 (29 June 2019)

This movie is an amazing horror movie compared to the original mini series which relied on the viewers imagination with the gore and violence, not to say that the original is bad because of that reason its just a different boat when it comes to horror its a transition from old to new. The flaws in this movie are quite obvious to most viewers and by the reviews iv seen its not hard for fans to not turn a blind eye because it doesn't follow the book. But i think this is a flaw argument and here's why, do we all remember the shining. A classic book from stephen king which was adapted by stanley kubrick to make one of the best pieces of cinema arguably ever and it was nothing like the book. The hotel didnt burn down, there was no hedge maze and not only that there was no redeemable qualities to jack in the movie, but its littered in the book. My point is sometimes media needs to be adapted into its own thing otherwise it becomes stale and you'll just realise oh iv seen this before in the book iv read so why see it again in cinema. Originality is key to success if your doing what everyone expects, it's going to disappoint plus did you really want scenes of child orgys i didnt think so. Let's talk about the CGI some of the worst CGI iv seen in a movie maybe not as bad as babadook but that was a very indie low budget movie but it also doesn't matter for that movie because its a great movie it just ruins the suspense build up and thats about it the story still goes on the story telling still works and so who cares if your suspense Boner was blown for a split second you can't just say its bad because of that one bit seriously these were the only issues i could pull up and thats why its 8/10 for me because 2 flaws with some many things going right deserves to reflect that in the rating everyone saying the movies bad because it doesn't resemble the book have no idea about cinema and never will stick to your books they're better in your eyes anyway.
