| Every once and awhile there is a Stephen King mini-series, on ABC.
And I always look forward to them. With classics like; It, The
Stand, and Salem's Lot, who could go wrong. Not to say that Rose Red
is a failure, more like it is flawed. Simply Put: It isn't the
greatest.
The acting is not particularly great. And the directing feels to
be that of a novice. Having not caught it when it had originally aired I
had to rent this 4 1/2 hour movie. I was expecting a lot more.
The plot is decent, but the story just goes on and on.
This is a good movie just not that good. Defiantly worth watching if
you are a die hard Stephen King fan though. |
