Nah, pretty much everyone hated it when it first came out in theaters. The hype leading up to it was immense and the movie just didn't deliver when first seen on the big screen. Like I said, even the critics hated it.

Funny note about Kubrick and King. In the book Jack's VW Bug was red. In the movie Stanley chose yellow as just one small way to show that he wasn't going to be held captive by King's narrative.

And as for King's red bug? Remember the accident that Dick Halloran drives past?
