Let me simplify this....
Stephen King - the greatest horror author
Stephen King - worst at adapting his own works to screen
The End

Meh...i enjoyed it enough
shareYes, his characters are completely believable when fleshed out in a novel but they become over the top when actors try to pull them off on screen.
shareI blame Hollywood for that. Well, actually I blame King for that. He goes for WAY too much star power in his films. You don't see a Stephen King film. You see a Kathy Bates film. Or a Matthew Maconaughey film. They overshadow the very work they are portraying.
In my opinion.
I don't think he wrote the misery or dark towers screenplay or had any part in casting those films.
shareHit the hammer on the head with that one!
