It takes you back
Once you get into this show its one of those box sets that you can watch through from start to finish in one sitting even if it keeps you up to 3.30 am on a Sunday morning. However you’ve got to be hungry because there’s a lot of farfetched stuff you’ve got to swallow to get you started. Our hero goes back to 1960 through a time porthole (Why was nobody else stumbling into this?) to head off a couple of tragedies including hanging around for three years (three years!) to try and avert JFK’s assignation. Still if you’ve previously enjoyed “Back to the future” and “Groundhog day” or you’re a regular Stephen King fan, this should easily float your boat.I’m always obsessed with detail and as a former resident of that arboreal backwater of the Central Line I was intrigued by Stephen King’s pick of “Epping” as the surname for his hero and wonder what influenced his choice. I really enjoyed seeing all the old V8 gas guzzling cars from the period the most stunning of which was a certain red and white 58 Plymouth “Christine” this time appropriately cameoing as the daily driver of librarian “Sadie’s” evil estranged husband. Apparently the “Christine” they used was an authentic survivor from the 1983 movie now worth a million dollars with the cast signatures under the boot sorry trunk lid. The DVD was received in good time although annoyingly one of the discs was flapping around loose in the case but fortunately not scratched, as case was in cellophane difficult to apportion blame to manufacturer, vendor or GPO.

another stephen king
Read the book and found that hard going. The series was a slow burner so slow in fact that I have given up watching after about the 3rd or 4th episode

Highly underrated movie adaption
One of my all time favorite series, James Franco is brilliant and I wouldnt be his biggest fan, Sarah Gadon and George McKay (you might remember him from 1917) are excellent too, great casting job. Needless to say that the book is well worth a read, however the TV series is definitely in my all-time top 3

really good adaptation from S. King's book
I had read the book and was looking forward to seeing how they would film this. This is one of my favourite S. King's booksbecause the story is very rich and the ending fantastic and very clever. The film is quite faithful to the book on the mainstory line except of course for some shortcuts and other few changes. The lead actor is really great and hisgirlfriend gorgeous. A really good book adaptation from S. King's book, which kept me late a few nights.

11.22.63 DVD
I haven't read the book so can't compare. I do like King and will give anything adapted from his novels a fair crack of the proverbial. Sadly, no matter how hard I tried I couldn't get my head around the basic premise - Save Kennedy from Oswald! - Well you can't,'cos he was assasinated!!! The final episode just left me frustrated and a bit angry (more at me perhaps, than King). What was the purpose of the stor?. So many little plot holes, I lost count. Won't fault the actors though. All good, and it moves along at a fair old pace. Interesting sounding extra. It is certainly different and as such worth a go. Just didn't work for me...

Unforgettable!
Thoroughly enjoyed watching. Follows the book by Stephen King with lots of action. Lots to think about for those of us who lived through these troubled times.

Une adaptation éblouissante
Tourné sous forme de micro série en huit épisodes de 90 m, le film ne suit pas exactement le livre, mais peu importe, le scénario est co-ecrit avec l'auteur et rend le visionnage aussi difficile à décrocher, tout comme le livre.Et c'est heureux, car le livre présente quelques lourdeurs qui rendent beaucoup de passages ennuyeux, notamment, les péripéties du protagoniste en tant que professeur du lycée ou les avatars de la vie conjugale d'Oswald. Sans parler des tournures de style propres à Stephen King, pas toujours compréhensibles par le public francophone, malgré une traduction correcte.Ces erreurs sont corrigés par le film et même sublimés par un scénario et un rythme fascinantes.Difficile à décrocher. Prévoir un WE sans sortie à la campagne ou de nuits blanches avec gueule bois au réveil.

Film mozzafiato
Una serie che aspettavo da tanto tempo! E' un bellissimo film, che sa ricreare l'atmosfera coinvolgente del romanzo superbo di King, pur dovendo per forza saltare alcune parti e cambiando leggermente alcune situazioni che un romanzo può narrare e in un film realistico sarebbero complicate. Perfetto James Franco nel ruolo del professor Epping, bravi gli attori, appassionante la storia. In Italia non so se ci sarà mai la versione tradotta, che peccato per chi non può vederlo in versione originale!
