With more than six hours, and being written by the King, there was hope that the result would be a reasonable adaptation for "The Stand". But the cast poor and low budget, were not sufficient to give the consistency that the story needed. The result is a film only reasonable.

I saw much of it, not all, but enough to get a notion that stuck. The few Stephen King adaptations that were any good were normal length movies like Carrie and Misery that got to the essence and created a concise cinematic experience. The sprawling epic length ones (the uncut version of Salem's Lot, It, and this) don't work because they rely instead on the text. King's writing is stale and contrived and these serials just expose its weakness, and The Stand is perhaps particularly silly.

The first two episodes are great, the third shows some signs of weakness and the fourth is just bad. Quite enjoyable as a whole.

Has a ton of awesome perfomances along with one of the most chilling starts ever. The first half is mostly pure awesome, then it slowly falls apart over the remaining half.

Starts off brilliantly, only to decline and eventually fall off a cliff in the ending.

Started out absolutely great, but grew more lifeless and poorly motivated with each new installment, sputtering out with a weak ending. Still, I prefer hitting the extremes instead of just being average all the way through.

A decent stab at telling the story, but loses steam as the plot progresses. The cast do a pretty good job, but the overall product is far from stunning.

Now this is a movie that I would be pumped on a remake of. There's no reason for ths one to be 6 hours long, it could easily be cut down to 2-3. A lot of stuff could be cut out and have the movie keep the same effect. I watched this movie through the 6 hours and thought the ending was a little weak. If I wait that long I want to be blown away. M O O N, that spells mediocre movie.

Mostly due to the fact that the performances are almost uniformly amazing, the adaptation is unexpectedly good. Very strong, powerful acting from all of the leads except Ringwald, there are many parts of this miniseries that truly bring the book to life. Also helpful is the unbelievable score by Snuffy Walden.

It's a sad journey that sets out as epic postapocalyptic showdown with supernatural elements, only to end up praising the protestant God for all his sadism. It makes me shiver to think back on the time before HBO, where this kind of naive dualism set the standards.

Started off a hell of a lot better than it finished. There is some notably bad scenes/acting but can easily be forgiven. Bit of a shame considering the potential and the fact that its post apocalyptic.
