Storm of the Century- **3/4
They honestly didn't need to take that long to accomplish what they did. So much of the movie could have been taken out. I didn't really become interested until the courthouse stuff, which was great. The ending was too much of a downer. This is King's problem with pretty much everything he does. Great set-up, great progression, shitty ending. I don't mind endings like this one, but it was so anti-climatic for me. If I'm going to sit down and watch a 4 hour movie, the ending better be something a lot better than that. It seems like he had a great idea and he really knew how to play up on that particular fear, but he totally didn't know how to end it in a satisfying way. Maybe it would be okay if it was an hour and a half, but come on, that's four fucking hours, Steve. Give me something I can feel good about!
Eh, I'm just pissed I spent four hours for an ending that left me hanging. It was decent stuff, even if the casting of Andre Linoge was awful. Pretty okay though, aside from a few major gripes.
