Very Very Disappointing

Rating: 6/10 (16 March 2020)

So 6/10 is not a bad grade and it is practically means " above average/fine but not necessarily good, I would not watch it again" to me. I kind of broke the rules in this once because I watched it twice. First one is getting disappointed after watching a cult classic horror movie then just thinking it was ok and second time trying to like this movie. What made me not love this movie? I tried to love it and it has all these all time iconic moments in movie history. But if they weren't "iconic" I would just forget about these scenes. Did the memes and parodies make this scenes "iconic"? Is that it? Is this movie just he origin of the memes and parodies like "Bee Movie", "Star Wars 3" or "Shrek? No no no let me change the question. Is it just a nothingness, only memes movie like "Bee Movie"? No, I do not think so it is of course not THAT bad. Is it a full meme but still a cult classic movie like "Star Wars 3" and "Shrek"? Sadly, I don't think this is it either, i think THE SHINING is not that good at all and I'm going to talk about (or write I don't know) why I think The Shining is just OK.
So let us start with...Acting. Sorry I hear a lot of praise about this part but really??? I think this one of Jack Nicholson's worsts, pretty bad for the kid actor and Shelly Duvall DESERVED THAT NOMINATION FOR A RAZZIE! I mean I know she went mentally ill because of this movie or something like that and it is actually sad but she was actually sadly really really BAD in this movie. I also heard in the books she was an independent and a strong woman but here she is just a cry baby and nothing even close to a likeable character. Sadly I did not read the book but I guess I have to agree with Stephen King more than I agree with the fans of this movie.
NOTE: I do not hate this movie I just realized I sound like I hate the movie NO I do not hate this movie.
Cinematography and Directing: Soooo....this got a Razzie Nomination too for direction and it honestly doesn't deserve it. I guess the direction ain't bad but ain't that good either BUT this movies cinematography is so damn good. First shot of the movie is so damn good or the "HERE'S JOHNNY' scene honestly this is easily the best part if this movie.
So this is not that important but i really hate this movie's makeup too. I do not want to go into it that much because it would be spoilers and Idon't wanna go into spoilers sooo......nah I am just going to talk about it. Frozen Jack looks like absolute crap so does the bloody waiter dude. I know it is a 1980 movie but I do not see that as a excuse at all.
So this is also really not faithful to the book sometimes as I heard like In the books Jack Torrance is a loving father turning into a psycho killer and in the movie apparently abusing and hating father turning into a psycho killer. Hmmmm.....Yeah I am not a big fan of this movie's story.

So yeah that is abou... I forgot about the soundtrack! Well the last music is pretty good as people say so yeah The Shining is an OK movie. (6/10)
