When I first saw the trailer I expected it to be one of those single character movies, so I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't like that at all. I found the storyline interesting and well played out, I also liked that there was a small backstory to Jessie's childhood.
Admittedly, until it was mentioned in the end credits I had no idea it was based on a Stephen King book. This really shocked me as i would have never guessed. It's still a good movie though and now going to have to find and read the book.

I thought Margot Robbie did a lovely job as Sharon Tate, and the scene where she was watching her own movie was kind of adorable. although she barely spoke and I wish she had more input in the movie.
When the Manson family members got wrecked I laughed so hard. The part with the flamethrower was masterful, absolutely hilarious. Even though the screaming was so over-acted, it just made the scene so much more Tarantino and funny. Also, the dog survived so that's a win in my book.
I felt like a few scenes dragged a bit and a few didn't add anything to the movie.

Spielberg does an excellent job of hiding the pulpy horror-story origins of the tale, swathing it in plausible small-town Americana, low-key humour and excellent characterisation; John Williams' score is, needless to say, essential to the enterprise. The battle to the death in the second half is superbly constructed, paced and executed. Superb entertainment; I am happy to report that over forty years on, Jaws remains entirely capable of making cinema audiences squirm and scream.
