I feel that the remake missed out on an opportunity with the ending.  


While I thought the car frozen in the air was cool, they could have done a lot more with the budget they had.

Eh...
Totally missable.

King stories rarely do much for me, first or second rehash.

I've always said that Stephen KIng novels don't translate to film nearly as well as you'd think.  Probably because they're so rich in detail and character and it's tough to transfer to the screen.

I have only read one King book, but once I read through some detailed synopsis of some of his book. I noticed that a lot of things get changed in the movies, endings, characters get dropped and so on.

The third time around isn't the charm (Carrie was remade once already as a 2002 TV-film) -- while I gave this one a chance, to me, Carrie doesn't hold as much power as she used to. We have had many films with characters with telekinetic power. It still has its moments. I agree with some comments here in that there wasn't enough done with the film, considering King's last chapter of his book. (an anti bullying message)...so yes the 2013 had nothing new to say or do.

I didn't think the film was terrible. But it did miss the boat by a country mile. If you are going to make a film version for today's audiences, then do it. Don't cop out.
