That is the problem with comparing books to movies. You cannot fit all of that expected detail into a 2:15 movie. IT is a damn huge book too.
This is why full blown TV shows are far superior to movies when it comes to detail. Think of Breaking Bad being forced into 2 hours. Yikes!
I'm so glad they remade this film... but think of how awesome it could have been as a Netflix series (Stranger Things)
