All in all, pretty good.
I was debating watching this new mini, but I'm glad I did. I like the book, with some reservations. I hate the way Stephen King kills off small children. That just doesn't set well with me. Having said that, it is still a good story and is well written. The t.v. adaptation was very true to the book and I thought well put together. Mr. King is certainly improving his screen play writing abilities. The dialog flowed well and was easy to follow, as opposed to "The Stand" (which I dearly love despite its many flaws) where sometimes the dialog left you wondering if the characters were even in the same scene.I found the scenes with the spiders and snakes to be especially scary and well done. I thought the acting was good and Ron Perlman's performance was excellent. As usual, there was enough humor at the right times to break the tension where needed. Overall, a good result.
score 7/10
