Movie Reviews of Carrie
Movie Review: Different ending is why I like the new version better
Summary: 4 Stars
Despite the 1976 film being more skillfully directed by Brian DePalma, and despite its star-making performance by Sissy Spacek, its over-the-top hellfire and damnation ending completely lost me. It seemed to validate the mother's religious fanaticism, and I do not believe it was what Carrie, as a character, deserved. The 2002 remake reinforces my view on this, since it shows more clearly than did the 1976 film that Carrie's rage-driven power, when it reaches its full-blown form, is involuntary. One can argue that leaving the remake open-ended for a planned TV series, which never got off the ground, was a mistake that leaves it unsatisfying, but I still prefer this more humane take on the story to the religious cheap shots in the original.Movie Review: Like reading the book.....
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie followed the book much better then the original 1976"Carrie" (which scared the dickens out of me with the hand coming out of the grave BUT I was 11 yrs old at the time) I Liked Sissy BUT.... the actress is far better, I feel in this one She acted out as a teenager would on her shoes (and pig's blood covered dress) from being pushed to far by cruel class mates ( I felt sorry for her) this Is a must film BUT you should read the book first, then watch Carrie "1976", And then watch this one..... Strange BUT....this girl seemed more related to the girl(Rachel) Carrie's sister In "Carrie 2 The Rage"Movie Review: Not a remake
Summary: 4 Stars
The original Carrie was very loosely based on the Stephen King novel, while this TV version was dead on (exc. for the ending). If it is not compared to the orginal--which is absolutely a classic--it is an excellent, well done movie. I especially like the fact that is was more based on the Carrie character and her plight as opposed to "just" being a horror movie.
Almost like the re-make of "The Shining" with Rebecca DeMornay. No, there is nothing like Jack Nicholson's character and his "here's Johnny!"...but, definitely more resembling the events as portrayed in the book.
Movie Review: A fine job
Summary: 4 Stars
Though the original film version of this story is a legitimate classic, this TV movie remake is a worthwhile interpretation of Stephen King's novel. Many people have cited the ending of this version as a weakness, and I'd have to say I agree. Still, Angela Bettis was brilliant, the prom scene was energetic and emotional, and the film had momentum, style, and elegance. Easy to dismiss but not so easy to appreciate, this remake does justice to King's novel, and is worth your time. Take another look.Movie Review: Angela Bettis is fantastic!!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
No matter what anyone thinks of this Carrie remake, Angela Bettis does a fantastic job! Believe it or not, although the film was a modernized Carrie, it is still much closer too the book as opposed to the classic by Brian DePalma. Now don't get me wrong,the classic was outstanding, but at times it did stray away from book. One thing that I don't understand though, is that in both films, Carrie is thin. Carrie's original character was dumpy and overweight.
