I read the book years ago and always meant to watch this. The book was over 1000 pages so I expected this to be quite long. Overall not a bad interpretation of the book considering it was made for TV as a mini series 25 years ago and it even has some familiar faces. I enjoyed watching this and I believe that "The Stand" has just had a reboot in 2020, so it will be interesting how the two compare.

i thought the casting was key in this adaption as i had a set view of what the charactors should be as i have previously read the book. At first i was wary of some casting choices eg larry and harold but i felt that rob lowe did a brillant job but harold was only ok as the person they picked did not fit the physical profile in the novel. on a whloe i felt the casting was very good flagg was perfect. the story is told in a compelling and dark way that gave you a link to the main charactors. the reason i only rated it at 4/5 and not 5/5 is i thought the film missed some of the darker elements of the book due to its only being rated 15's and not 18's and also the fact that some of the charactors just apeared as if form nowhere eg the judge this oviously due to time constraints as the novel is over a 1000 pages long and had to be condesensed into 6 hours. i felt even so a narative would have been helpiful to the people who had not read the book before watching the movie o introduce these new charactors. i would recomend this movie to fans of the book and anyone looking to enjoy a good story well told.Read full review
With all the coronavirus going on at the moment watching the stand will help get you in the mood for it all. Enjoy.
