Queen Bitch From Hell
Well, anyone that tried taking this on knew it would be a monumental endeavor and it would be hard to impossible to encompass all of what seems to be a never ending intricate obsession of Steven King.Read alot of his books and found out from a King junkie friend that all of his books have a tie into his landscape world thriller. I have to admit, I have done the DT short stories and made it through the first official book but have had a time getting through the rest. I feel like regardless of how much he gives up it is still just touching the surface. Both with the book series and the movie was reminiscent of the BeadGame by Hermann Hesse for me. Difficult and realizing I was missing alot of what the author is trying to convey. For non King DT fans this movie was a wash for DT fans & fans of King it was hard. McConaughey does a great devil villain and looks to have had some work done on his face. The gunslinger is good but the characters aren't really meshed out or the action nothing has been real satisfying a few movies after the last one I enjoyed [Hitman] I would recommend any King fan to watch it and expect to be disappointed and anyone else if you have some time on your hand and can easily stream it. Actors were good but feel this tale is Kings hell, never quite getting across what he wants but leaves you willing to try more with him. They should have attempted to line up closer to the books and told his back tale. Since it was already a given that they would only be able to fit so much in this and from now on will maybe be a set of tv series and movies [or that was what they were talking about before this came out] Maybe fleshed out the man in black and the gunslinger and his early tales and would have had enough plot and material to reach to the kid maybe in the middle and then go on some more tales rather that wrap up with throwing too much together.
