Only a thrilling throwback synth score from John Carpenter keeps this inferior, modernised take on Firestarter off the lower end of a list of Stephen King adaptations. May 15, 2022 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

The easiest way to sum up the real meaning of Firestarter and its ending might be "With great power comes great responsibility." Firestarter is about a kid with X-Men level, terrifying powers, but it's also about being a parent and trying to raise a kid right in a scary world.

The film was panned by critics, with many deeming it to be inferior to the original 1984 film, and grossed $15 million worldwide against a $12 million budget. Armstrong was nominated for the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Actress, but it was rescinded due to controversy over her young age.

One of the newest contenders is Peacock, a free-to-use app that features both original and archived content from NBC. If you own an Amazon Fire TV or an Amazon Firestick, you can download Peacock and start watching in just a few minutes.

What can I watch on Peacock? New movies straight from theaters - plus hundreds of movies from major Hollywood studios such as Universal, DreamWorks Animation, and Focus Features. Thousands of hours of hit TV shows, including highly anticipated Peacock Originals and current hits from NBC & Bravo.

Critic consensus suggests Firestarter is dull, uninspiring and is severely lacking in the thrills department. Ultimately, the remake didn't do anything better than the first film did, and that may have played a role in its lackluster box office reception.

What is Peacock? Peacock is a streaming service created by NBCUniversal with two subscription plans: Premium (with ads) and Premium Plus (ad-free). The platform offers a collection of shows, movies, and original series, along with live sports and news.

The Peacock TV service boasts tons of original content, NBC favorites like 30 Rock, The Office, and Saturday Night Live, plus originals like Poker Face and The Traitors and hundreds of movies including 2023 Oscar nominee Tár.

What's a Firestarter? Simply put, Firestarters create things, disrupt things, and/or start things. They're the people who change the world and industries, start movements and businesses, and innovate when others are content.

The salamander-turned-dragon (but not actually a dragon but sometimes a dragon) Charmander is the forefather of the Fire-type starters. Its final evolution of Charizard is one of the most popular and most recognizable Pokemon because everybody loves a fire-breathing dragon.

Critic Reviews for Firestarter May 27, 2022 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review… The effects are dodgy and unconvincing. The emotional investment is nil.
