The Long Walk- 1/10
Without any spoiler type commentary I'll just say that the book was one of my favorites, hated the movie

The book is one of my favorites by King, and I enjoyed The Long Walk as a movie because you grew to care about those boys, every one of them, and it was a gut punch when every one of them died. That's the thing about Stephen King movies; they do tend to change a bit of the endings.
Thought that the young actors sold their job well, and I enjoyed the movie. I don't think it was an easy 10/10, but 8.5/10? Certainly.
I'll never understand why they change the characters, & the ending and the overall theme.
Alas...
Did you like the ending of the movie, The Mist, or not? Did you like that the little boy lived in Cujo?
Stephen King movies have always changed around things from the books. I thought that the theme was intact in the end; it wasn't like it was The Dark Tower movie where literally everything was changed.
Honestly thought that it was a very good movie. It wasn't perfection, but it was a very good movie.
Well.... I WAS going to read the book. You should probably edit that or put a spoiler alert thing over it before u ruin it for someone else. And yes, I realize the book was written forever ago, but some people like to read a book before seeing a new movie based on it. Based on dieters rating, I'll probably just skip both now, haha. Not sure how I never read this book actually. Thought I had covered most of King's work.

I didn't spoil the movie, but I did word it wrong. The book was literally one of the first books Stephen King posted in his pseudonym. The Long Walk was based on the Bantam Death March. I worded it wrong; I meant to say when the boys you grow to care about die, but I didn't spoil the movie, I didn't state anything about any of the plot, and I tried my best not to spoil.
