Was not sure how i felt about a sequel to all these other sequels being done at the moment ruining our pop culture with second rate continuation. But this director must have loved the original film like i this is a labor of love.I also think Stanley Kubrick would agree with me too. I am aware Stephen king hated the first film.i hope he found it in his heart to enjoy what was done here. "Ewan Mcgregor perfect as always. I very rarely put a review i felt the need film was fantastic,The best film i have seen in a long time,also feel the need to go back to cinema. because waiting for DVD seems to long await.
