The movie...good or bad?

A movie will never be better than a book because everything that´s really important depends on your imagination.

I did appreciate it for how different it was than your typical SK movie. There wasn't much supernatural elements, only hints of it. So in that regard it was special. But still, the movie could have been a lot better. But I place that fault on the people who made the movie, not SK.

I enjoyed Cujo .I watched the movie and read the book. I looked the book the best

The movie was definitely one of the better film adaptations. Loved the book, and although the movie wasn't 100% true to the book, it's still a good flick.

j'ai prêté le livre à mon petit frère et il me l'a toujours pas rendu. Depuis j'ai lu 6 ou 7 livres, et j'attends toujours.... Je verrais bien le film après avoir lu le livre, même si il n'a pas l'air si bien que ça.

I love the film version of "Cujo". Yet, I will say that for all of you who seem to really dislike that film, I am a huge fan of its star - Miss Dee Wallace. Having said that I do feel that the movie is good. It has tension that builds as the film progresses. For example, as an audience member you see a perfectly healthy dog turn into a raging monster who turns on his own family and [along with adultery, etc.] helps to tear apart another. I think that the acting is great and I do find it to be a good film. I can, however, understand why so many of you - especially all of the great King fanatics - are not too fond of the film. I would also like to have seen what they would have done with the Frank Dodd scenario but the film is what it is. I will say that the beginning of the "Cujo" novel is just out-and-out scary. I feel that had it have been in the film it would had really added to the horror and intensity. Yet, had it been a part of the film we would probably be discussing that now because Cujo is still rabid and many feel that he was possessed by Frank Dodd and was out to kill Tad. That would have been some film. Who knows, maybe someday a more "faithful" version of the novel will be made. And yes I do hope Dee is in it! [LOL]

The book is much more better, I think
But it is usual thing in the case of SK

Ok, I just finished the book yesterday and now I want to see the movie. What are your opinions on the movie? Obviously I know it can't compare near the book in terms of detail and all sorts of stuff, but what opinions and thoughts go through your head when someone mentions this movie?

It's a good movie and stays true to the book except for one large difference toward the end! I enjoyed watching it anyway, though it's been a good few years since I last saw it.

it scared the livin daylights out of me the first time he charged the car window!

The movie ending didn't bother me at all. It is scientfically impossible for Tad to have lived in the movie, but nobody wants to see a little boy die after practically watching him suffer for an hour IMO. The movie- the latter half of it, anyway- was very intense. Loved the movie and the book.
