I give this movie a 3.5/5

The movie is good, but in all honesty my favorite thing in the whole movie is the amazing painting of Roland at the beginning.  (Roland is the gunslinger from the dark tower series.  You can see the tower behind him, and there is a rose beside him.  I would pay $1,000 for that painting.  Anyway, the movie is suspenseful, the critters are done convincingly enough. The ending is truly Stephen King all the way, and I recommend watching the movie for the ending if for nothing else.  It is something you will think about for a while after you finish watching it.  There is nothing especially wrong with the movie, I think the reason I can not rate it any higher is that for me, when I read a book (or in this case a novella), and it is really good, and then they try to adapt it into a movie, it never comes out as good as it was in my mind.  But anyway, the movie is good, it is totally enjoyable, and I have to tell you that you will cheer when a certain person gets shot in the head.  Oh yes, you will cheer.

$1000 for that painting you say? Hrmph. And you couldn’t spare $400 to come see your best friend over the holiday season and $300 to get a 360 so we can pown together!

the Mist is a thinker for sure, pretty good all around, except a lot of the character conflict was really predictable…

is it me, or did those insect-like aliens have human teeth?
