I couldn't believe it! They TOTALLY REWROTE the ending of Firestarter 1, to accommodate this piece of trash!
The movie would've been fine. I would've even settled for Skye McCole Bartusiak *shudders* as a stand-in for Drew. Not that she could've ever hoped in a million years to fill her shoes. But to bastardize the original movie that the fans have come to love, just cheapens this already shaky film.
Marguerite Moreau was a disaster as "Charlie" McGee. Her character was hollow and as plastic as a Barbie doll. Her performance was hesitant and off the mark completely. The only thing good I have to say about this "sequel" is that the effects were believable, but that doesn't begin to redeem this horrid waste of film.
So disappointing to have them rewrite the ending of 1 like that. If they hadn't done that, I might could have liked it.
It gets a sorry 0.2/10 from...
