A good adaptation
Whilst this isn’t one of the best Stephen King adaptations, it’s a lot better than expected.

This stays very true to the original book. It’s been a while since I’ve read the book, but there was nothing in this that stood out as being different, which is always good news. This is a typical late 80s film, with some very weak performances and feels very much like a made for TV movie. That said, a lot of the physical effects and make up were very impressively done and the film is a lot bloodier than i ever would’ve expected. There are also some very bad special effects, but fortunately these are few and far between. Watching this has made me intrigued to see how the new adaptation turns out - if they manage to stay faithfully to the story but with a 21st century update on the effects, it should really be one to watch.

This is Sparta
300- is a excellent film. Zack Snyder did a excellent job with this film. This was his 2nd film he did and it really put him on the map, cause after this he did "Watchman" and "Man of Steel". His remake of "Dawn of the Dead" was excellent. 300 has excellent visuals, gory, vengeances and epicnest. Gerald Bulter does a excellent job in this.

The plot: In 480 B.C. a state of war exists between Persia, led by King Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro), and Greece. At the Battle of Thermopylae, Leonidas (Gerard Butler), king of the Greek city state of Sparta, leads his badly outnumbered warriors against the massive Persian army. Though certain death awaits the Spartans, their sacrifice inspires all of Greece to unite against their common enemy.

The film is a shot-for-shot adaptation of the comic book, similar to the film adaptation of Sin City.

Its a excellent movie and a must see.

A fine adaptation of whats considered a not-so-great story. Yes it's simplistic and pretty straightforward adventure tale. Yes, it follows very closely to the televised story with only a few minor deviations. Neither of which change the fact that it is immensely enjoyable to read, and as always with novelizations of lost or incomplete stories, it paints a great picture of something we may never get to see in the flesh...

Brilliant
This is one of my all time favourite films, which is also based on a story by my favourite author. Frank Darabont does a great job directing such a fantastic cast, and the story itself is so interesting albeit a little sad towards the end. Character development is one of Stephen King's strengths, and it really shows in this adaptation. This is one of those films that never gets old.

Didn't hold my attention
I was really liking forward to this new adaptation of a classic story. Unfortunately it just wasn't very good. The beginning was interesting, but it didn't hold my attention for long. I think the main problem with this movie is that it lacked any form of character development. The action was great, but a movie needs more than that. Despite my high hopes the Disney version is still my favorite.

A good adaptation of a novel written before A Quiet Place
I enjoyed this film very much. Sandy is likeable as always and the scares are there. Most people will make the comparison to A Quiet Place and they wouldn't be wrong. Its tense, cerebral and upsetting. It also feels like The Happening but its much better. If you enjoyed any part of those films I bet you'd enjoy this one as well.
