Customer Reviews of Stephen King's Storm of the Century

Another deliciously brilliant masterwork from one of today's topmost literary giants!!!
As somebody who considers "The Stand" to be Stephen King's best work, I must relate to you all how completely and totally captivated I was by "Storm of the Century." This was the rare mini-series event to stem from an original screenplay instead of a written novel. And, in much the same manner as "The Stand," I found "Storm" to be every bit as professional and well-crafted as any movie I've seen in a theater. Craig Baxley should be highly commended for the exceptional work he put into this production. <

>The main hook of the story centers around a picturesque town straight out of a Norman Rockwell painting, whose inhabitants soon find themselves faced with two major threats. An unprecedented snow storm has cut off the entire immediate area from the outside world. That, alone, would be considered bad enough by most common people. But that, unfortunately, is only the beginning. The real danger arrives in the form of the mysterious Andre Linoge, a sinister figure who has come to the island of Little Tall with a singular purpose. One that might ultimately spell DOOM for all the townspeople. <

>Say what you will about Stephen King's track record in film. I happen to enjoy the majority of movies adapted from his books, and this one is certainly up there with the best. The script benefits greatly from the tight pacing and high caliber writing we've come to expect from King. The characters here, in this film specifically, all shine because we are led to care about what happens to each of them. That is what I believe is Stephen King's primary gift as a writer. <

>Colm Feore, it should be mentioned, turns in a positively stunning performance as Linoge. Anybody who claims they weren't the least bit affected by his bone-chilling delivery is seriously deluding themselves. He and Tim Daly, I thought, played remarkably well off each other. Their scenes, by themselves, are empowering enough for me to strongly recommend this movie to anyone who might have missed its initial televised run. I think anyone who, in general, simply enjoys a good story will want to add this to their collection. It really is worth the purchase.

The only Stephen King movie that rivals The Stand!!
Let me start by saying I saw this the first time it air on TV and I could not stop watching. I think that Stephen Kings movies are either superb or terrible and this movie is definately superb! I think the acting is excellent (especial Tim Daly and Colm Feore), and the plot is one that will keep you guessing. All I can say is that I couldn't figure out for the life of me what Feore wanted and when I found out at the end my mouth dropped! I would have never guessed it in 1000 years! This movie is excellent and is a must for Stephen King fans even though there was no official novel preceding this movie. If you liked the Stand and the Langoliers and you don't mind watching a 5 or 6 hour movie then check this one out, I think you will find it worth your time!

Attention Katerinasmom
This is a MOVIE!!! Why should it be believeable. If you really believed that something like this happened , then you have some problems. Lets see how many tough choices your faced with every day and the outcome of every one of those situations. Anyway, I give this "MOVIE" a 5 star rating for keeping me interested in watching it when it was on T.V. as the 3 part series!! Now, I'm looking to add it to my collection.
