Anyone see it yet? Didnt it come out early in other areas?
 
Fuck off hollywood, you suck at everything!
No creativity in murica anymore.
 
I saw it about two weeks ago. Not was I was expecting, other than the direct references to the Shining, it was nothing like it in tone or atmosphere. I did enjoy it, though.
 
I’m going into this blind. All I heard was that it should satisfy fans of both the Shining book and movie. Not sure how that will work. I just want a good adaptation of Dr. Sleep without all the Kubrick this and Kubrick that, but it’s unavoidable. I’ll see it on Friday.
 
Just saw it and it didn't disappoint at all. Yes, lots of Kubrick references but overall really fun movie that at 2:30 flies by. Also that Rose Hat chick is hot as fuck.
 
This was the best movie I’ve seen in a long time. I’m a fan of both the Shining and Dr. Sleep novels, and the Kubrick film, and this movie brings them all together so well. I went in without even watching a trailer but right before the movie started, there was a featurette about recreating the Overlook Hotel and I started to get worried, but everything was done so well.

I had very few issues with this movie, one of them being some bad looking cgi on a corpse’s moving mouth so the last thing I wanted to see were cgi abominations of actors from 1980. Thankfully, they used new actors instead. I know there’s going to be deep fakes of these scenes on YouTube in the future, which will be cool to see, but I’m glad there wasn’t anything like that in the actual movie. Let us see actors act without all that distraction. Speaking of distractions, Ewan McGregor talking with an American accent... I don’t know if it was because it was bad or just weird to hear, but it bothered my ears. That’s probably because I’m far more used to hearing him as Obi-wan Kenobi than anything else.

Bottom line is, if you enjoyed both novels and Kubrick’s film, you’ll love this movie. If you’re elitist about any one of the aforementioned, you probably won’t enjoy it. For me, it was everything I could’ve hoped for.

9.5/10

This review makes me happy
 
I really liked this movie, one of the best, if not the best movie I've sen this year. One of my only gripes is their replacement casting of Jack Nicholson as I felt like their recreation did not look or sound much like him, other than that though, it was awesome.
 
Very good movie, 8.5/10. Different than Kubrick The Shining in tone and atmosphere, but equally good.

Not liking something is being elitist abut it?

Strange. The book and the movie are barely the same story.
 
The movie is a big flop

Its going to lose money

Which is not surprising since it looks like complete shit
