Rating:  - Classic
This movie is a classic! A hit at the theaters and a classic today!
Rating: - Its not your mothers car...
Great movie (get the DVD), VHS is dead...
Christine is in a class all by herself, jealous of anyone who gets too threatening or "close" to her new found owner Arnie. She will go to
any extend to get rid of them.
This strays pretty far from the novel (as all King to Movies do), but
still an interesting movie, and a must for all who are into the "Possessed Car" movies (maximum overdrive, Herbie the love bug, The Car, etc).
Rating:  - John Carpenters first dud...
The reason I love John Carpenter is his movies are entertaining. They may be scary, creepy, atmospheric, funny, whatever but generally entertaining.
Today I just finished watching Christine for the second time and for the first time in many many years. Boring. Not scary, not creepy, not atmospheric, not funny. Not anything but boring. Boring.
I suppose if I believed in supernatural cars this might do something for me. But I don't and it doesn't. In my opinion if one goes through the Carpenter canon in chronological order this would be his first dud. Even the usual great Carpenter music that accompanied so many of his movies back then is missing. He relies on commercial hits of the past.
A dud. Did I mention the acting is horrid? The acting is horrid. Unless you are a completist or it does not take much to entertain you, I would say avoid this dud. Disappointing to say the least.
Rating:  - Nothing New
Usually when there is a special edition they add the parts that were edited.I saw nothing new in this version even on dvd.That doesn't take away the fact that's it is one of the best movies he did.
Rating: - Christine
great SK flick; stayed with his theme of the book all the way through. Let alone, Carpenter's songs & timing were perfect. Acting was ok; some characters were better than others in other words.
