Title: A Real Disappointment
Product review: When it first aired as a "big event" television miniseries, it was rightly billed as King's first "novel for television." That is its only merit.The pace is slow, interspersed with brief moments of suspense. The actors, chief among them Timothy Daly and Colm Feore, do fine with their less-than-fully developed characters.The real letdown is the end "flying sequence." Such a cheesy effect for a film that was supposedly a special event.One reviewer has placed this one on the same level as the superlative King television adaptation of "The Stand." I, on the other hand, place "Storm of the Century" with "It" as being highly touted but very much a letdown.This "storm" isn't "perfect" by a long shot!
