Movie Reviews of Stephen King's Desperation
Movie Review: Stephen King's Desperation (2006)-Very weak screen adaptation.
Summary: 2 Stars
Stephen King's Desperation (2006) was a poor two star film adaptation. I was only able to enjoy the first twenty minutes or so of Ron Perlman's work playing a Desperation road cop and then the movie turned to complete ka ka. This film was supposedly a mini "Stand", but I didn't see any comparison. It appeared to be a flimsy excuse for showing some very warped screen images that will stay in memory and make the audience never trust a police officer again! The on location scenery was very nice and was scoped out by King himself.Movie Review: Amazon refuses a zero star review...
Summary: 1 Stars
Simple. This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. This isn't to say that there isn't some good acting in it (there is a little). However, the script is awful, the production is jumbled, and the storyline is inane. If you have two hours (and a few bucks) to waste, help yourself.
It's interesting to note that I've heard of people laughing through horror movies before, but had never done so myself before now.
I haven't read the book, but being a long time King fan, I imagine the book is good -- but the movie is the pits.
Movie Review: Desperate
Summary: 1 Stars
This is a bad movie, and no where near the book, since it leaves out the majority of what the book was based on, the characters and their stories. Also, alot is abridged overall, which leaves it feeling to rushed and tenuous throughout. It is like a long Twilight Zone episode more than a big movie or film. One thing for those who are not religious, you may be turned off by the constant "God" theme that runs throughout the film. Even for religious people, you may find it annoying - it feels to preachy to me. TOTALY SUCKED!!!!!!Movie Review: We should know by know KING stories don't translate to screen
Summary: 1 Stars
We (my wife and I) have finally learned out lesson after all this Stephen King is a legendary horror writer, but virtually every attempt to bring one of his stories to the screen fails miserably.
This is another example.
Avoid at all costs...... boring, silly and BAD !
Movie Review: hack garris trashes another $tephen king book.
Summary: 1 Stars
Everybody's over-acting here. This is more of a horror spoof, than a horror movie.
Bad acting, worse dialog and terrible directing. What else would garris deliver?
