| Cell 2016 is a Great Movie (by samnlm) |
| Very scary; all violent scenes scared the hell out of me. I liked the return of John Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson, working together since 1408: perfect chemistry. Great actors.This movie will probably make people who own smart-phones disagree with the concept of turning into a zombie. Another movie like that was another one with Samuel L. Jackson, Kingsman: The Secret Service.The end of the movie had me saying "What?" If a movie can do that with style, hell yeah I'm giving it a "10" rating. The ones who don't like this movie are probably zombies already.Sep. 2014, <more> |
| Where's Raggedy Man? (by morning-star67) |
| WOW, lucky I forget what the book was about. Or at least, I forgot parts of it. The book was good, not one of King's best. Nothing like The Stand, or Salems Lot, Etc.And the Stephen King Universe is in here, except the movie doesn't play up on it. But I guess if you don't read King, it WOULD make no sense. But yo King fans it would be nice to see more of the Universe.I liked Samuel Jackson and John Cusack in their roles. FOR THOSE THAT Don't KNOW about it, ALL SK's BOOKS TIE TOGETHER AND JOIN ANOTHER UNIVERSE, RUN BY AN ARCH ENEMY, NAMED Randall Flagg. Or other <more> |
| Loved!!! (by psusarah-21455) |
| I am not sure if this really contains a "spoiler" or not, but this is my first review I felt the need! and I didn't want to get blacklisted!! Am I the only one who really enjoyed this movie? This movie isn't given enough credit.I think the ambiguity and at times disjointed impression given off by the movie adds to the dream-like quality of what is happening. Perhaps that can give the false sense of lazy writing or acting. The ending is perfect!!!! I must add that I am a big fan of Cusak and Stephen King novels are the only books I have read in the past ten or so years. I <more> |
| If you read the book, you'll love it. (by filipsalapa) |
| This is my first review in here and I have to write something to defend this film.As a die hard Stephen King fan, and a huge fan of the original book this movie was based on I have to admit that it is a solid attempt at making this story come to life.For the most time the whole movie is well-paced and sticks quite good to the original concept of the novel. To me, that is a plus, since most of the time, Mr. King's works hadn't had the best of luck in that department. There are a few jump scares but for the most part the movie is just feeding you with the creepiness and the feel of <more> |
| Ultimately impenetrable, but high-class zombie sci-fi (by jrarichards) |
| Ever imagined what would happen if zombies of the familiar "Walking Dead" kind became as fast as those in "28 Days Later", but were also guided in their behaviour e.g. able to climb stairs and ladders , very ready to attack and kill but NOT capable of passing on their undead status to others by biting? Ever thought that that might represent a step forward in terms of zombie-dystopia plot subtlety, and at the same time be pretty darn scary? Well, here is the Tod Williams-Stephen King film "Cell" to show us - persuasively, if not quite flawessly - how the above <more> |
| a lot better than i thought (by xeroinfinity) |
| i actually thought it was really good. it wasn't really a zombie movie. unless that's what you call everyone everyday as they Trog thru life constantly connected to their phones. it is kinda slow, in parts, but they actually try and throw some real story in their and theirs some crazy action in the city and the woods.another thing is its totally plausible and could happen, no one knows what years of microwave exposure does to humans brains and biology. oh wait, they do know exactly what happens. any how, its got some low budget effects, and some nice ones on a soccer field. Its just <more> |
| A movie based on the book, rather than an accurate adaptation (by Azuria-Vita) |
| I must say I don't really understand the negative reviews. I've read and loved the book, but I was always aware that the movie was not going to be an exact copy of it. Yes, people who expected it to be will be disappointed, but don't spoil the fun for others who just want to see a good movie - because it is still a good movie in itself. Giving a movie a bad rating just because it didn't meet your personal expectations is kind of stupid. You should always try to see the movie and book separately. Some scenes, when translated to a movie screen, just don't come out the same <more> |
| Never compare book/movie !!! (by williamagon) |
| I spent almost an hour reading a lot of bad reviews about this movie and the way many people compares it with the book... Come on!!! Have you ever seen a movie that fits exactly with the book it was based on???OK, many reviewers may say that this is the worst adaptation ever, but I think differently: Due to the fact that the screenplay was co-written by Stephen King himself, and he estates that the ending of this movie was written especially because of the readers that complained about the book's ending, I guess he played a little bit with his own story, to give us, fans, some variations. <more> |
| Best horror movie in a long time (by masteroftofu) |
| I dunno what's with these hipster reviews trashing this film, but I highly disagree with every word they've said.The horror genre has been GARBAGE for a long time, with Hollywood spitting out cheesy jump scare 'blockbuster' films that are 99 times out of 100 just BAD films and sometimes completely unwatchable. Literally like 1 good horror film coming out every other year IF THAT. That's why, while watching this film, I was saying to myself 'holy crap this is actually really good for a horror film'. I dunno what these horror films these reviewers are watching are <more> |
