More Critic Reviews for The Stand Miniseries All Critics (23) | Top Critics (9) | Fresh (18) | Rotten (5) The special effects' team took too seriously the "hand of God" conquering evil. Oct 16, 2018 | Full Review… Ann Tatko-Peterson San Jose Mercury News Top Critic It's cheesy, most of the effects looked bad even when it first aired, and it has the same third act problems that plague the book. And I sort of don't care. Oct 16, 2018 | Full Review… Evan Saathoff Birth.Movies.Death. The video effects haven't held up, but you can still enjoy it for the eerie tone - and for the knockout cast. Oct 16, 2018 | Full Review… Norman Wilner NOW Toronto The miniseries - anchored firmly in the black-vest-and-jeans '90s in many, many ways - is a time capsule of suburban fears and idiotic stereotyping... Yet, somehow, The Stand still offers a lot to love. Oct 16, 2018 | Full Review… Scott Beggs Slashfilm Entertaining. But is it worth eight hours of your attention? Oct 16, 2018 | Rating: B | Full Review… David Hiltbrand People Magazine The team behind it still get a lot of points for trying, and assembling a humongous cast that included Gary Sinise, Molly Ringwald, Jamey Sheridan and Ruby Dee. Oct 16, 2018 | Full Review… Staff Rolling Stone Top Critic This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but with a lot of bad acting. Oh, and plenty of bad writing, too. Oct 16, 2018 | Full Review… Tom Shales Washington Post Top Critic The mini-series features such class acts as Gary Sinise, Rob Lowe and Molly Ringwald. However, the acting is also awesomely bad. Oct 16, 2018 | Full Review… Wyndham Wyeth Paste Magazine Muddled, certainly, but Stephen King's 'The Stand is clever enough to keep you wondering what could possibly happen next. Oct 16, 2018 | Full Review… John J. O'Connor New York Times Top Critic Not particularly scary but pretty damn efficient. Oct 16, 2018 | Full Review… Elisabeth Vincentelli New York Post Top Critic View All Critic Reviews (23) Audience Reviews for The Stand: Miniseries ½ Stephen King's epic apocalyptic thriller The Stand is brought to television as a four part miniseries. When a plague wipes out 99% of the population a series of survivors receive mysterious dreams calling them to Boulder, Colorado, to begin anew, but a rival community rises up in Las Vegas led by the demonic Randall Flagg. Featuring Gary Sinise, Laura San Giacomo, Rob Lowe, Molly Ringwald, Shawnee Smith, Matt Frewer, and Ed Harris, the cast is quite impressive. Yet the performances aren't very good, and neither are the production values. The storytelling's also rather weak, failing to capture the dyer tone of this apocalyptic tale. The Stand clearly has an ambitious vision, but it's unable to deliver on it.
