Every criticism King leveled at the film was valid. The book was better than the movie in some ways - specifically, character development

That's a fundamentally wrong reading of the film. At its core it's about the lasting & persistent trauma of abuse.

I've a deep core belief, the writer of source material's opinion has no bearing on quality of the film. The film lives or dies on its own.

It's odd that there have been some truly awful Stephen King movie adaptations but the one King really hates is Kubrick's The Shining
-
To be fair, The Shining (book) is a masterpiece and Kubrick changed or ignored virtually every important element and theme from it.

sure - Jack Torrance is a stand-in for King himself, and the movie displaces his narrative arc completely, makes him crazy from the get-go
-
but of course Kubrick didn't care much about individuals, since they were vessels for his themes and dolls for his staging....
