Well, I’ll start off by saying that I’m someone how actually had a good time reading the book, an act that seems to have become undefendable. As for the movie, I thought it had its moments and that overall I found myself having a pretty fun time with it. I think my main criticism is that it sorta leaves behind the heavy 80s nostalgia of the book — which is what I liked — to go all over the place. I did think it was pretty great to go heavy on The Shining though, that was pretty fun.
