"Stephen King's The Shining"...Surprisingly a GOOD movie.

<< < (2/2)

BJV:
I watched this movie for the first time just this week, it's amazing especially the way it was shot, the opening scene with the views of the mountains, the scene at the end with the snow and the maze, there's too much to mention.  8)

I wouldnt say I was surprised it was any good tho all the ratings of it are good everywhere  ???

Well, watching the movie with the thought that no one can outdo Jack Nicholson, Shelly Duvall, or Danny Lloyd in mind really made me believe that the actors would try their hardest to impersonate the actors in Kubrick's version, only to come up extremely short. Surprisingly, they held their own, and did a good job projecting King's story onto the screen how he wanted it...

Trauma-san:
Stephen King's the greatest writer alive today, of course his version of the  Shining would be good.  I loved his "Rose Red" miniseries too.  I've read 75% of King's books, he's great.

Well, it wasn't a sure thing...A lot of his good books have been made into shitty movies. Some he even had involvement in...He's just much better at writing than he is at producing movies.
