Summary: Great Good vs. Evil Movie!
Review: While it's a long movie, This is one of the Greatest Movie of all time. Adapted from the best-selling novel by Stephen King, this story of Viral Research gone wrong and Good vs. Evil will keep you guessing who will win to the very end. The DVD features a very informative commentary by Stephen King and the Cast and Crew, Behind the Scenes Featurette on the making of The Stand and many other great features. This DVD is a very good buy.

Summary: Best Miniseries except for Shogun
Review: This DVD is OK but I'll probably end up buying another one that offers a few more extras, subtitles and is in widescreen. DVD comes on 1 disc with half the story on one side and the rest on the flip side. The story however is as good as ever. It comes as close to doing justice to the book as I think was possible for something shown on TV - a feature length movie would have fallen desperately short of giving the plot its due. I liked most of the casting choices and especially enjoyed Gary Sinese as Stu (a part he was born to play), Ray Walston as Glen (what isn't he great in) & Jamey Sheridan as Flagg (creepy & down home at the same time). There were a few draw backs - special effects (masks) for Flagg weren't even as good as the ones on Buffy every week. And Frannie's character seem to wimp out towards the end of the story. Still, this is my favorite mini-series - except for Shogun which is in a class by itself - and one of the best visualizations of any of Steven Kings stories. A lot of entertainment for a reasonable price.

Summary: Good Suspense, a travesty for an ending
Review: I must explain the 2 stars. The acting waned considerably. Yet, I focused on the good performances and interesting story aspects. The story itself is the meat of the film. There are some very ridiculous plot elements, with some interesting ideas and suspense. But, (THIS IS IMPORTANT) I must warn you the ending is so bad that I felt like the rest of the movie's story betrayed me. If the ending were better I would've given the movie 3 1/2 or maybe 4 stars. That's how bad the ending was. Some can argue that that was the ending used in the book. I don't care. If that was the ending in the book it should have never made it onto film, or the ending should've been changed.

Summary: FIRST RATE Miniseries
Review: I watched The Stand waaay, waay back when it was originally broadcast in 1994, and I was blown away. After reading the novel more than a few times, I still cannot read the book without seeing the actors faces on the characters. This is a truly unique experience - not only a really great Stephen King movie adaptation, but also arguably the best television miniseries ever made. There are aspects about the miniseries that are open for criticism. Some of the minor characters are missing, some of the gore and extreme violence from the book is missing, as well as some characters being 'toned down' (Harold Lauder IMHO most significantly) from the book. Also, you cannot condense every page from a 1150 page book into 6 hours of screen time, so there are chunks of story that are missing. However, if you are looking for a solid, entertaining, and engaging movie to 'sink your teeth into', go no further

Summary: One of the greatest movies ever!
Review: I've seen this movie for several times, and it's one of the best I've ever enjoyed. The actors, the soundtrack, everything fits together with SK's book (for a movie). BUT WHY DOES THE DVD NOT EXIST WITH RC2, SO THAT I CAN WATCH IT TOO? Great movie, really great!

Summary: The best movie !!!
Review: Stephen King is the master story teller, and this is proof. I've never watched a better movie and I don't think even King himself could beat The Stand. I've read the book, watched the movie, and plan to do it again. The circle closes.

Summary: One of the BEST adaptations out there
Review: You always lose something during the translation from Book to Film, but in this case, you lose VERY little! There were differences, and had anyone OTHER than King written the screenplay, I would have been upset. But this was his vision of the story realized, and it was very near to perfect!

Summary: A must have for all Stephen King fans
Review: In my opinion, The Stand is one of the best screen adaptations of Stephen King's work. Although the book is better (it's almost impossible to capture Stephen King's character development in a four hour movie), this movie does a decent job (with the help of an all star cast) of telling the story. The Stand DVD set has extras that add to the enjoyment of this movie.

Summary: The book that beats all
Review: I felt the book went deep into the world today, and the fears we all have. This book opened my eyes to how much I take for granted. If I could write one piece of work after my favorite aurthor, it would be Stephen King.

Summary: One of Stephens best.
Review: "The Stand" will make your skin crawl. It's a worst case scenario of what would happen if the government had a accident a one of it's bio-warfare labs. (they don't exist according to our government) The bug spreads with wildfire across the US. (most likely the world). Only a few humans in the US survive this pelage. The rest of the 5 hours is about how the good come together to "STAND" against the evil that came to clam the souls of those who survived. It is hard to sit through 6 hours of film, but if you brake it up over three days, you will enjoy it.
