Forced tribute, the effect is unsatisfactory

No more Samsung at most! It’s impossible to please both sides. If you want to shoot from the perspective of Stephen King’s universe, don’t copy and paste Kubrick’s Shining all the time. You have to shoot Kubrick’s Shining. Continuing, don't add so many plots that have nothing to do with the original hotel. In this way, the hodgepodge has no focus and nondescript, like a horror version of the X-Men, the villain "eats" the portrait like a drug friend gathering in a crowd, and the "laugh" fruit is outstanding. There are a lot of such powerful villains in front of them, and they are destroyed in minutes, and the growth of the protagonist is also very inexplicable, which makes it difficult for people to resonate. Then friends who go to the cinema and want to watch superhero movies because of the name Dr. Sleep will also be disappointed, because the protagonist is really fighting the five scum from beginning to end, and this nickname has basically nothing to do with the main plot. As someone who has deep feelings for The Shining, I really want to be tolerant of its so-called sequel, but I can't boast. .

    Oh my goodness, what a god-level bad movie is this, wasting my movie ticket money, wasting 2.5 hours, I really saw halfway falling asleep, the whole watching process was like on pins and needles, I really don’t understand this movie, it’s really like my library What does the Shining of God have to do with it? ? After watching, I just want to relive the classics of the original version and this movie really reminds me of how good the original version is all the time!

    It is clear that the line from the beginning is a real fight, and there is no abstract fear at all, so there is no need to compare. So what I'm looking forward to is not, and shouldn't be, The Shining 2 and getting the New Mutants/Stranger Things satisfactorily. It not only continues but also perfects the Shining world view (true knot family), and at the end, reviewing the classics is not a forced tribute, but makes good use of the elements of the hotel to complete the ending. That was Kubrick's The Shining, this was Stephen King's The Shining.
