My only "dislike" is that religious fanatics can be difficult & irritating to watch on screen. As much as I enjoyed The Mist, I always dread the old woman & her preaching.
Bible bashing or Bible thumping? (It's been at least a decade since I've seen the original Carrie)

It's become a too-often-repeated cliche in Stephen King's work, the evil bible thumper and/or person of God. It's spread to the rest of pop culture, too.
I've always found the story of Carrie depressing. Chronicle, from earlier this year, that was like Carrie with young men instead. But there was exhilaration and fun before the tragedy started, showing how power can corrupt.
I don't see any new powers [having watched trailer 1]
She's got telekinesis, which she had in the original, and also the pyro power.
She's throwing her mom around the house, and then putting her in "Carrie's Closet" but I don't remember if she actually goes as far as killing her.
@steve_rules_2 = the period scene is definitely in there [the populars are taking pictures of her, and she's on the floor with a towel covering her - and then her mom starts talking about the curse of Eve, and that she needs to go to her closet and pray for forgiveness.
This might actually be kind of good.

Yeah I noticed that bit, it was one of the main points of the story so it's not surprising that it's still in there
Hey no poking fun at sissy spaceks getting her period showing her brestesses...i remember thinking god those girls are bitches, and when she started killing them i secretly enjoyed it. The girl from kickass is the bomb dot com, i cant wait to see her all shy and shit! This story needs to be told again and again, it probably will give some idiot that he might have super powers.
