.TheWolfman says the new adaptation of StephenKing's Firestarter is an 'engaging tale with empathetic performances' yet there's still 'much to be desired.' Full review here:
✖ Virtually ever since Stephen King started publishing stories, his works have inspired filmmakers to bring those stories to life. His career has lasted so long that projects that have already been adapted are being revisited, the latest example of which is Firestarter from director Keith Thomas and writer Scott Teems.
While King has delivered audiences hundreds of different stories, they typically only earn a live-action adaptation one time and one time only, with multiple adaptations of the same story only happening in select circumstances.
Outside of this narrative shift, there's not much here that hasn't been offered to audiences before. In the late '70s and early '80s, films like The Fury, Scanners, and King's own Carrie were just a sampling of stories focusing on characters with supernatural and telekinetic abilities, while the recent series Stranger Things also mines that storytelling vein with Millie Bobby Brown's Eleven.
