   JA>    
   JA> I knew almost nothing of this production going in (I avoid spoilers on   
   JA> things I care about) so I was shocked at the end when it said Chapter 1.   
   JA>    
   JA> It was a pleasant shock, but still there. I know 2 hours into the movie   
   JA> I was wondering, "when are they going to show the adults?" :-)   
      
   The thing I notice with some of King's work is that sometimes the stories   
   easily split off into so many sub-stories or elaborate character    
   backgrounds and when those stories get adapted into movies, a lot of that gets   
   lost. Mostly either time constraints or budget reasons.   
      
   I knew with a running time of 2 and a half hours that there was NO way the new   
   It movie was going to cover everything in that thousand-page novel.
