Liliannar (58 KP) rated Stephen King's It in TV
May 22, 2018 (Updated May 25, 2018)
Decent adaptation
This movie followed the book as well as can be expected considering it was a "made for TV" min-series comprised of two separate parts. Characters were explored as much as possible in the time frame given but the world isn't nearly as well developed as it is in the book. Like any amazing book brought to film many vital pieces get left behind, but the heart of the story is still captured.

The first book seems a little disjointed. I'm sure there's a lot from the TV series that wasn't put in, so it may have made more sense if it had. The story, itself, is fine, but not outstanding, by any means. I think the book had the potential to be better.

Just forced and cringy.
I remember thinking this would be hilarious by the trailers before it came on TV but fairly sure they put all the best bits in the trailor which kills a series. Tried dipping in here and there in the other seasons but nah, not for me.

Took awhile to complete....
Another great Stephen King classic that I've finally read. I expected more Randall Flagg and more dark side than small town politics, but loved the ending of the novel Vs the old TV mini series... it's an old novel but I still wont spoil it... lol

David McK (3562 KP) rated The Last Kingdom - Season 5 in TV

Based on a 13-run series of novels by UK author Bernard Cornwell (now living in America), The Last Kingdom - both books and series - is set in and around the time of Alfred the Great and his descendants, and follows the exploits of Saxon born but Danish raised Uhtred of Bebbanburg.
Each series of the TV show adopted roughly 2 of the novels so - if memory serves - that means that this series covers the events of 'Warriors of the Storm' and 'War of the Wolf'.
For some reason, however - and unlike the earlier Sharpe series (also based on novels by Cornwell) I struggled to get into this one, taking roughly a year and a bit to watch a 10 episode series.
I'm not sure why, but it just didn't help with me.
Mores the pity.
