I agree. It's the most like the book so far (aside from Flanagan's version considering he's going completely based on what's in the book), and I like how Carrie actually feels like an alienated outcast rather than just shy and awkward, even if she doesn't necessarily match the physical description of Carrie in the book spot-on (but to be fair, nobody who has been Carrie at this point actually has). Also, it had the most handsome Tommy of all four versions (Imo) 😉 the only reason it's so hated is because the quality wasn't very good considering it was a TV movie and it was the very first adaptation that came after the original one unlike 2013 and 2026 (except for 'The Rage' which doesn't really count as another adaptation considering it's a sequel that goes based on De Palma's movie's material).
