What an awesome story by Stephen King. The plot, characters, and awesome acting make this a keeper for all time. It is defenitely one to rewatch over and over. Must see even to just see all the great actors that just began their careers in this movie. The story line is interesting and entertaining even if you never read the book you will enjoy this.
shot on 16mm film so looks more like a news report. Pro is they followed the book as close as they could. Con over 255 speaking roles so people come and go which leaves you wondering what they contributed to the movie.
Stephen King at his best. A great classic horror. Believable characters and by today's standards not too gory. Had it in VHS and upgraded to a DVD..
A classic good versus evil story.
The book was great the series even better.
This is a movie I pull out once a year and watch
all over again.
Another series worth buying is Stephen King's It.
The old version.
(soon to be a new motion picture summer of 2017).
Stephen King, at his best this is S.K version of the end of the world with only a few left to start over. A man made fast acting virus is released. The people left had to completely start from scratch they had to go back to old w aways to survive. The book was awesome and the movie and actors were great! The Stand great intertainment!!!!
King’s book made a great mini-series with Gary Sinese Rob Lowe Molly Ringwald and Ruby Dee A great tale of good vs evil pitting the survivors of a major pandemic against each other. A unique peek at what the end of the world might look like. Great King entertainment!
I love most of the movie adaptations of Stephen Kings books, including this one.
I have bought the dvds of most of them since I’m afraid that the ones I’ve paid for on Amazon Prime might not be there forever. Now I just hope my DVD players hold up.
I like the cast in The Stand, and it stuck to the story pretty well considering my paperback copy has 1135 pages. I love movies and I’m just not overly critical like many folks.
Wonderful story by Stephen King. The plot, characters, and awesome acting lineup portraying them, all work together to make this a great dvd to anyone whether theyve read the book or not. It is a long movie, around 6hrs but divided up in miniseries parts.
this movie is the most true to the book movie I have ever seen. after having read the book I was astounded to see that the actors that Stephen King picked to play the characters looked amazingly like the ones that I had pictured in my head. That never happens. watching The movie is like reading the book, no disappointment here... and of course the story line is amazing,,I only wonder ... is this just sci fi or visionary sci fi?
