Movie Reviews of Stephen King's Desperation
Movie Review: I liked it.... until I saw the end.
Summary: 3 Stars
When I saw this was coming on tv I got very excited. I set it to tape and the next night I was sitting there all happy watching it. The tape stoped and started rewinding. I was like nooooo!!!! Then I saw it was coming out and I was waiting very much so for it. Well when I found out I only missed like 14 minutes of it I felt stupid for paying 5 dollars to rent it. What bothered me even more though was the ending. I will not tell you how it ends because other people may really like it and I may if I give it another chance. But it ends so fast. Nothing is really explained. There is so much going on the entire time I kept saying "man I can't wait until the ending to find out everything." Well it just ended. One cool thing happened but not enough to convince me (or what I'm pretty sure a lot of people) to buy it. I say rent anything before you buy it anyway unless your sure you will like it. However odds are 50/50.Movie Review: Liked the book better

I am an avid Steven King fan. I usually read the books then watch the movies just to see if I get the same feeling from the them and usually I don't but that is to be expected. I can't say I'm disappointed in the movie because I wasn't. The book was pretty hard to live up to on screen. It pretty much was translated into a saturday evening Sci-Fi Channel movie (no offense to Sci-Fi Channel lovers) I really did think that Ron Pearlman was a good cast for the cop. He was who I had in mind when I read the book. All in all it was ok. Glad I bought it, but not surprised I didn't know it it existed. lolMovie Review: Good enough

It's SK and it's Desperation, that's for sure. You can recognize the book (with some good details in the beggining and some bad details in the theatre, etc.), and I love these actors so it's a pretty good deal for me, but you don't have the sensations/feelings you have with the book (it's a movie, what do you expect?), and there are some problems with the story also so if you don't like pretty much SK, this may not be a film for you.Movie Review: Campy, goofy and entertaining
Summary: 3 Stars
Sick humor that is typical of Steven King runs throughout. Tom Skerrit is great. This is not a scary movie, more of a campy, goofy joke of a horror- but it's supposed to be. It is very good if you've read the book and it's very true to the book. Couldn't watch it more than once and still be captivated though. Not a very great movie but entertaining for the first time.Movie Review: Aztec devil, Chinese, dogs, a mine, and a possessed Ron Perlman...for your viewing pleasure
Summary: 3 Stars
Great group of actors...who each gets enough time/lines to create a character. First act great, involving, with beautiful desert scenery. Second act slows down a bit. Ending weak and unsatisfying. I enjoyed this film for what it was.
