When you're as prolific as King and so many of your books or stories have been filmed, there are bound to be both hits and misses. Shawshank Redemption, Misery, Stand by Me, Carrie, The Green Mile--all very well-regarded. I couldn't believe the mind-boggling stupidity of the miniseries "It", though. For me, whether a film is supposed to be good or not is more important to me than who wrote the book, who's directing, who's starring, and all that. Loads of people whose work I like have done crap projects I don't want to waste my time on. Not every film or book can be a home run.
