    God this movie sucked. Acting was terrible, they didn't go into detail the way the book did. I was disappointed. The book is kickass, the movie sucks panda asshole.

    Watched it last night, and I was literally falling asleep. If they guys next to me weren't jumping every time the albino jumped out of the shadows I would have been snoring.

    I've decided Dennis Quaid would have been a much better choice than Tom Hanks.

    The book was much more suspenseful to me. To put it in other words, the book is 500 pgs, I hate reading more than anything, and I read the book in 2 nights. I was begging for the movie to be over. It just wasn't the same.
    This is what I'm afraid of. I just finished the book (but I love reading ). It was fantastic. I just can't see how the movie can even come close.

    And after reading through the whole thread, it's pretty obvious it didn't. I'll just go ahead and keep my fond memories of the book. Stephen King is my favorite author of all-time, and it totally kills me how they've bas ized every one of his books in film.

    If you didn't read the book, you would probably be lost. On the whole, it was a nice movie. I think the cinematography was great, but overall the story felt jumbled. It was fairly long, but I I don't feel like the story was that well developed in the movie. I had the book as my basis, so on the whole it was enjoyable.

    I do believe that the cast selections were excellent. When I was reading the book I had pictured the actors who were selected to play those roles ( I already knew Hanks would be Langdon - he's definitely the first actor who comes to mind to play that part) with the exception of Teabing ( I was thinking maybe Jeffrey Jones - principal from Ferris Bueller's Day Off). But McKellen did a great job.
