Movie Reviews of Stephen King's Desperation
Movie Review: Desperation Review
Summary: 5 Stars
I read the book first and was a little disappointed to see they'd left so much that was on the pages out of the movie, but it was still a good horror flick in the King line up. Since I collect both his books and movies, this one certainly won't be left out. When characters crossing the desert find themselves face to face with a crazed cop, there's no hope of escape...or is there? The plot thickens as they discover it's not just a matter of an officer gone mad, but dealings with ancient supernatural spirits/Gods. A young boy may be their only salvation, if they choose to trust his visions.
I would've liked to have seen a slightly longer movie with more of the book, and especially a vital character that was left out, added in. However, I don't believe King movie fans will be disappointed.

Movie Review: What People Don't Know About 'Desperation'!
Summary: 5 Stars
The problem with the reviews on this book were most people didn't read the book that went with it. This wasn't one Novel, it was only a half novel. 'The Regulators' was the other half of this novel. King did something he had never done before, he wrote 1 book and seperated out the two different places they were happening. These two books are happening at the same time in two different places and they are tied together!!!! Almost every review I saw had no idea of the two books. They wrote a review on a single book and left it at that. Welcome to something that wasn't reused! I'm waiting for 'The Regulators' to come to TV so there is the set!
Movie Review: Very well done
Summary: 5 Stars
Sorry, I didn't read the book so I am not going compare how it matched the book and how it didn't. I am going to accept the story for what it is and how it was presented. I do like Stephen King movies and I liked this one very much. I thought that the story was very twisted in the way Stephan King writes and it came across in the movie very well. The acting was very good and very believable as well. I would actually say that this story was one of his better ones. I do recommend this movie to all Stephan King movie fans. It will scare the pants off of ya.Movie Review: Stephen King is awesome! Tak a Lak
Summary: 5 Stars
I read the book before I Purchased the Movie, which is always better, but the movie folows the book very closely from beginning to end. 2 people driving in a desert stopped by a demented cop, who plants drugs on them.They are taken to a jailhouse where others that were abducted are kept, and the story builds from there. Don't want to give away to much, but if you are an avid Stephen king fan, you will not be disapointed.Movie Review: Another Stephen King Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this movie, mostly because it's a Stephen King book to movie. However, it's not one of the best adaptations I've seen. The actors were awesome, quite the lineup, but the story could have had more. More scare, like the book. I'm sure the budget wasn't great but with a little more, they could have had a GREAT classic, instead of an "that's okay".
