Too much of everything
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
I read Stephen King's "11/22/63" a few years ago. The miniseries is a fine adaptation, with a few minor tweaks. It's good that they adapted it as a miniseries; a single movie would've been too long. The main thing to take from it is that you can't expect to be able to change history so easily. And even if you do, you can't be certain what the result will be.While on the one hand the book and miniseries draw attention to the question of what all happened in Dallas that day, I mainly recommend it as a perceptive look at time travel, and the potential negative results thereof. Because this is a Stephen King work, there are some VERY ugly scenes, but none gratuitous. It's a real page-turner. I recommend it.
I didn't have any expectations, (high or low) when renting this from the library, but I could not believe how good it was!One of the better movies/miniseries/t.v. Shows I've seen in a while actually.It really keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time, and it's extremely memorable, and sad, but in a positive way if that makes sense.It's a reminder that you can't change the past, no matter how much you want to, and it's done so well all the way through.
UGH! In my opinion the book is worthy of a 9. I realize that screen adaptations are difficult but this series is so sappy I feel like I am going to become ill. My top 10 King stories that transitioned to the screen well are:1. The Dead Zone (the movie) 8.25* 2. The Shining 7* 3. Dolores Clayborne 8.5* 4. Misery 8.5* 5. Salem's Lot 7* 6. Carrie 8.125* 7. Christine 8* 8. The body (Stand by Me) 8.75* 9. The Shawshank redemption (minus Rita Hayworth) 9* 10. The green mile 8*
Powerful!! The attempt to go back in time, revealing a butterfly effect of hidden history is something interesting and in a way, destructive. Stephen King really captivates an audience by introducing a large range of emotion in a short story that has you on your toes from start to finish. This short series exclusively on Hulu, did a great job of casting James Franco, and in my opinion is some of seriously taken roles that I enjoyed watching twice.J.FK.'s widely theorized assassination creates a series of events that 11.22.63 represents ambitiously.If you enjoy the thought of diving into the treasures of our history, well this is the show for you.
