Enjoyable popcorn movie, great performances, my biggest issue with it is the lack of character development for both Zac Efron character the Charlie & the "Villain" hunting them. It at times felt it was just trying to lead to the next fire scene. One issue I think people have is this Firestarter is not really a horror movie but more of a scifi-super hero type esque movie. There was alot of creative freedom one could've had and made a better movie.
I enjoyed it but the ending leaves you a little unsatisfied almost cliffhanger but not exactly. While I haven't seen the original I'm reviewing this film as a stand alone and taking at face value. Fans of the original may have stronger opinions.
