True King fans should avoid this crap at all costs

Rating: 8/10 (26 April 2008)

**Possible spoilers contained here** I have been a member of IMDb for years and have never taken the time to comment. I have also been a Stephen King fan for almost 30 years.
There is no amount of money in the world that you could PAY ME to watch this movie again.
95% of the movie was fantastic. I felt a sense of victory that this short story had been so faithfully, wonderfully adapted to the big screen. (I felt the same way about "Stand By Me", "Shawshank Redemption" and "The Green Mile".) Then- I was totally disgusted and furious with the gratuitous crap that was masquerading as an ending. I kept telling myself that there was no way the original ending would be just completely TRASHED in favor of this garbage. He is not going to do it, he is not going to do it... And then...
WHAT A HUGE PIECE OF GARBAGE.
I feel cheated and angry and horrified. This is the straw that breaks the camel's back for me. I can't say it as eloquently as I might like, because I am still reeling from this nightmare- but the ending was totally unnecessary, gratuitous, cheap thrills, junior high *sheet*. I would love to personally throttle Frank Darabont.
