Firestarter Ratings & Reviews
Washington Post
Gary Arnold
Even before it begins laying waste to the reputations of cast members, "Firestarter" is promptly exposed as a derivative embarrassment of a conception.
Mania.com
Rob Vaux
Firestarter wasn't great, but everyone involved survived... as you will if you ever feel the need to give it another look.
Cinema Crazed
Felix Vasquez Jr.
While no means a masterpiece, it's a Stephen King film worthy of viewing once or twice...
FulvueDrive-in.com
Chuck O'Leary
A scene-stealing performance by a menacing George C. Scott and a terrific musical score by Tangerine Dream elevate this entertaining companion piece to 1978's The Fury.

Kevin Carr
Stephen King didn't like it, but it really ain't that bad.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The film's crucial flaw is the lack of a strong point to the story. A little girl has her dangerous power, some government agents want to examine her, others want to destroy her, and things catch on fire. That's about it.

Mary Ann Brussat
More interested in special effects than in dramatic flare.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
It's not great. It mainstreams all the novel's subversiveness, but it's watchable.
Juicy Cerebellum
Alex Sandell
Bad movie. Bad career move. Bad in all respects.

One of the better King book-to-film adaptations.
