Boring and predictable

Rating: 3/10 (20 December 1999)

I was really amazed at all the positive feedback about this movie, since I walked out of it thoroughly unsatisfied. Most of the way through the movie I was listening to someone behind me snoring, and I was sympathetic. Like most Stephen King books this movie is WAY longer than it should have been. It was also corny in an unjustified manner. Though the idea behind it was interesting, the script was boring, predictable, and felt it had to explain every little thing, and right every wrong. I was happy when the movie was finally over. The acting was decent, nothing incredible, and I thought most the characters were too generic and uninteresting. I really can't see much that that there is to like about this movie.
