Rating:  - almost as good as the book.
This is a good adaptation of Stephen Kings book, the book was brilliant and this DVD made for enjoyaable long viewing also, it killed a lot of time, there's hours worth of viewing. They've done a good job and it compliments Kings book very well.

Rating: - Oh come on!
Firstly, as good as Stephen King is at writing, this is by no means his best novel. It's a very overdone and obvious stroyline... epic disease wiping out half the human race, civilisation must reform, good and bad people fight until (low and behold) the good people win.
Even though the novel does go into depth with some characters, the greater storyline doesn't seem to make sense. For instance, the breakout kills most of America, but the rest of the world is never mentioned? Did the ... Read More
