She kept getting punked by the little girl as if she were nothing yet we are supposed to believe she is this incredibly powerful being that the lead characters are afraid of. She doesn't really show much power or even poses a credible threat. Disappointing.
shareThey all three seemed to have a random grab bag of powers that popped up whenever the story needed the tide to go this way or that.
I loved King's early novels, but all his later ones just seem like rambling inconsistent 'made-up-on-the-fly' nonsense to me. From IT onwards.
Sure but the little kid was way overpowered. Rose the Hat should have been presented as being more powerful and an actual obstacle.
shareAgreed. Just watched it and this was really taking me out of it for the finale.
Couldn't understand the requirement to drive up to the Overlook in order to give them some sort of advantage when they'd already shown the kid bossing her. Weird.
There just wasn't any real conflict between Rose and Abra. Abra keeps kicking her ass at every turn. The repetition became rather dull after awhile. We're never really fearful for Abra because she is more or less invincible, and she knows it too so she never expresses much fear and comes off a bit cocky.
shareYes, that was definitely a major issue.
In a way it was much like Disney's Star Wars in microcosm - They had the girl defeat the big, scary villain in the first film and then there was no where to go. It became "Oooh, I wonder if she will beat him... again!".
Same here. It would have been better if they had established a third "force wielder" character, who had to sacrificed themselves, just so Danny and Abra could barely escape with their lives in the middle act.
At least that would have set up some logical requirement to return to the Overlook in order to give them the chance that Danny seemed to think (for no apparent reason given what we actually did see) they needed.
I honestly loved her & thought she was pretty awesome. She was a pretty good antagonist imo. Until that final confrontation. That shit was anticlimactic af.
shareBut her rack was not.

Those deserve a good daily sucking indeed.
shareShe was sexy AF in this movie.
shareYeah, for beings who are centuries old, they did pretty shabby. The girl just had too much plot armor and it made the movie worse than it could be
shareThe whole point was that as powerful as she was, Abra was far more so.
shareShe wasn't weak, the kid was too strong, which made Danny telling the kid to run at the end a bizarre choice.
shareYeah, I'm pretty sure that scene didn't have an analog in the book. That was just kind of his attempt to adapt the book's ending while continuing narrative from the prequel film, while also making a thematic nod to the prequel book's original ending.
His death honestly is one of the most frustrating decisions in this movie for me.
I liked the movie a lot. But the kid was too strong and the finale was a little puzzling given her being too strong.
shareRebecca Ferguson carried this film. She was brilliant! Anytime she was on screen it was gold.
I do agree that she should have been a bit stronger though, Abra got the better of her too easily.
Not to mention she's soooo incredibly alluring and hot in her role.
