The Long Walk 2025

This was the most uncomfortable walk out the cinema ever. I had to stop to tie my shoelaces and everyone looked back at me terrified.  Honestly a decent movie. Entertaining the whole way through even though I have a lot of issues with it. Maybe I’m wrong but I refuse to believe it’s possible to sleep that long while continuing to walk. That’s not a thing.  The film had an interesting message about living moment to moment and the importance of friendships, even if they are temporary. Also watching the characters slowly all accept they were gonna die was quite fascinating. Also there were some pretty cool, brutal death scenes.  Cool concept that they actually made work. Pretty funny how half the films coming out at the moment are all based a Stephen King short stories. We were in the cinema the other day and had 3 trailers back to back that were all based on Stephen King's writing. After having recently started reading some of his work, this felt very Steven king.  The ending was fucking awful. Genuinely one of the dumbest endings I’ve ever seen. Completely ruined the movie for me and raised so many problems. Ruined the coolest character and everything they had gone through all in one moment. It was the most obvious ending that you would hope they would be smart enough not to do. The way he continued walking in the end as well felt so corny.  The film had a really nice message up until the point I just don’t understand why they ended it like that. He could have spent the money and hired an assassin or something and then made a real change. And even the soldiers giving him his wish at the end was so stupid and didn’t make sense. They made so many promises to the other characters that he can’t go through with now too.  Sorry I’m rambling a bit but that ending was maybe the most annoyed I’ve ever been by an ending of a film.  The characters were well written though and had good chemistry, especially the main two, that it made me not hate the movie in the end. 7.0/10
