Eh, just another pointless remake/re-adaptation, although I don't mind it since the 1984 version wasn't great either. Nothing terrible but not anything special either. Performances were bland and not even the pyrotechnics weren't all that impressive. I guess it's fine to watch for free on Peakcock Premium but even so, you're really not missing anything. **2.25/5**

**Ironically, this fire never got going—total dud.**
What? How? I didn't expect to be blown away, but I also didn't expect to be bored. I love Blumhouse flicks, and their fresh take on The Invisible Man had my expectations high for their version of Firestarter. Unfortunately, this was as straight to streaming as a movie could feel. Think Push (2009) but much more mediocre.

Add it to the “passible movies that are adaptations of Stephen King novels” pile, which is getting concerning-ly large.
Regardless, I got to see the NOPE trailer on the big screen!

**Slightly generic but heartwarming**
This is your typical superhero origin story that is about learning responsibility. Unlike most people, I actually thought this was kind of sweet and slightly different from other films in the same genre. They went for a more realistic approach by focusing on her "becoming a young woman" and showing the difficulties through a visual cue.
