After the disappointment of The Dark Tower, we finally have a screen adaptation that does a Stephen King novel justice. IT is one of his best works, and is a novel that I am eager to read again after seeing the movie. The film was excellent, and while not perfect, I felt it did a wonderful job in capturing the tone of the novel. Some of the weirder aspects of the book were missing from the film, but that is understandable in maintaining coherency for audience's new to the story. The director managed to cram as much of the novel's content in as possible, while adding flourishes of his own. I didn't find the film scary, but it was disturbing in its use of imagery and nightmarish illusions. The kids were brilliant, and nailed the characters. Its a pity they will be absent in the sequel (I assume), so I hope their adult counterparts do an equally fine job in bringing The Losers to life.

As I said, the film isn't perfect, but it deserves a 9 for bringing to life one of my favourite books in such a brilliant way.

'Your hair is winter fire January embers, my heart burns there too.' With you till the end Losers, looking forward to seeing you again.
