Movie Reviews of Carrie
Movie Review: A lot better than the original
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently saw this on USA network...i liked it a lot more than i did the older one. I enjoyed how they made slight adaptations to the story so it is more modern. I had some trouble with it because it switches from interrigation to the story....and it took me a while to realize that everything with Carrie White(untill the end of the movie) was flashbacks. I have not read the book, but prehaps this would have helped me understand it better. I liked the ending of this one better than the ending to the original. I espically liked how the mother died in this one, and as i said earlier the ending, which i will not reveal because i do not want to ruin the movie. Any Way..I hope to own a copy of this version soon, since after seeing it on tv i found it to be very very good.Movie Review: Carrie (TV) - A great Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
-----The Carrie (TV) version, with Angela Bettis, has a better, and much longer, screen-play than the movie version with Sissy Spacek. The movie version, with Sissy Spacek, Piper Laurie, and John Travolta, has better acting; the first two received Oscar Nominations. I have both DVDs and watch both of them. I recommend both highly. The Carrie (TV) version has one of my favorite lines, early in the movie: "We found these in the dumpster behind what's left of the gym." Right away, you sense something very bad is going to happen <grin>. The Carrie (TV) version has a longer prom sequence, which I think is the best part of the movie, and also has good flash-backs. Get and enjoy both of them! ---JimMovie Review: One of the Best Remakes of a Clasic
Summary: 5 Stars
While I am not usually a fan of remakes of movies especially when it is a reamake of a clasic like Carrie, but this remake actually really good. While Sissy Spacek is pretty much what I think of when I think Carrie, Angela Bettis's version of Carrie almost as good as Sissy in the role of the outcast with psychic powers. One of the things that I really liked abou this moive was the fact that they had parts in this movie from the book that weren't in the original movie, like the part where Carrie as a little girl makes rocks fall from the sky and hit her house. If you are a fan of Carrie, you should at least give this movie a chance, you might actually find yourself enjoying it.Movie Review: Better than the original
Summary: 5 Stars
This remake of the 1976 classic I liked better than the original because it goes into more detail of Carrie's early years. I guess that because I read the book, this one sticks a little more closely to the book. Alot was left out of the original. This version is set in more recent years, complete with internet and Carrie reading teen magizines while locked in her "praying closet". The special effects were awesome and the ending is a complete shock. Very different. I realize there are some people who prefer the original but at least watch this one. Especially if you have read the book.Movie Review: Remember, This is an adaptation of the original novel
Summary: 5 Stars
This is in response to some of the previous reviews for this film. One should realize that this is an adaptation of Stephen King's original novel. It is not a remake of Brian de Palma's 1976 movie. If you read the novel and then compare with this telefilm you will find that it is one of the most faithful transfers from book to film. Just wanted to wake some people. Also, Angela Bettis's performance doesn't surpass Sissy Spacek's but it isn't any less in my humble opinion, kudos to her portrayal of Carrie and to the rest of the cast and crew. A truly accurate portrayal of high school life.
