Finnis: Review of the Stand part 2


Here is a review by David Finniss of The Stand, part 2 at examiner.com. Finniss does a nice job overviewing this, and he has a good grasp on the novel.
.
A few favorite quotes:
  • I love the look on NIck's face when Tom first uses the "M-O-O-N" thing.
  • special credit goes to Bill Fagerbakke, his performance of Tom Cullen was dead on perfect. People praise Sinise for his portrayal of Stu Redman, rightfully so, but Fagerbakke just steals it.
  • It's odd; on previous viewings, I always thought the middle two parts lagged compared to the first and fourth parts. Upon watching it now, I found this part quite superior to part 1. The characters get a lot more depth, and some of the more memorable characters show up and get a chance to shine. There were quite a few creepy scenes, but a few that had more of a humorous slant to them as well.
Finniss offers one "nit-pic" which I'll leave for you to go check out.
Interesting; for all his priase, examiner.com gives this 3 out of 5 stars.
