lol, this shouldnt be a spoiler
Just got back from seeing it.
Well, it wasnt bad, but not great either. just a stephen king movie.
its not scary as the previews make it out to be.
probably more "political" than a horror movie with the whole religious/military tone
nice little "I didnt expect that" ending
paid 9 bucks to see it, and didnt mind watching it, but i wouldnt care to see it again for any price. JMO...
Wow, they actually made a film of The Mist??
Many fans, including myself, consider The Mist to be Kings best short story. Wouldn't mind seeing the film to see if it matches up.
In which way, pro or anti religious/military?Quote:

You'll have to see this one on the big screen to best enjoy the creatures and come on XLX, you have to admit they were outstanding?
Maybe it's the screenwriter in me (working on one, w/one shelved), but I did see the ending coming. This won't spoil anything but "Never giving up" is a classic Hollywood theme.
ill check it out this friday
im still on the fence whether i want to see it or not
well, i do think it was well written.Quote:

Most of Kings stories have quite a heavy religious theme to them, noticeable ones being Salems Lot, Desperation and The Stand. I've noticed that it's usually about Faith over-coming evil. While King himself is not religous, he does believe in God.
I thought the movie was okay, especially for a game to film adaptation. And I thought Timothy Olyphant did a good job portraying the very disturbed character, he's a good actor. As for the stunts, well Bond set the precedent for not being big and strong, then Jason Bourne preserved it well, so there's really no bar now. You simply don't need an Arnold, Sly, or even a Jean Claude or Vin Diesel anymore. Heck even Ice Cube played the latest XXX.Quote:
