THERE HAS BEEN HIGH PRAISE FOR STEPHEN KING’S ‘UNDER THE DOME’
But I don’t know if I’m ready to give it the same praise that the ‘experts’ who get paid to write things gave it..It felt rushed, it felt choppy, and it felt sloppy.
I know it’s a Stephen King made for TV adaption of a book, so the standard is low, but the acting was much less on par when compared to past television events.. So much so that a friend of mine messages me during the show and said he felt like it was the 1990s again. And that’s true.. there seemed to be a bad Dawson’s Creek feel to the supposed sex scene and eventual relationship gone wrong scenes..
I will admit, I only read about 60% of UNDER THE DOME. I never finished the book because, truly, I got downright bored and confused by the whole event. I knew a dome came down over a town.. and lots of people began to essentially do the worst possible things to each other that they could. I suppose we will begin seeing that in true form over the next twelve weeks of UNDER THE DOME made for TV..
Night one wasn’t what I expected. Surely I knew it would not be true to the book–and this movie is so far not–but I was expecting some more production value.The most creative scene was probably a cow being shopped in half.. Let’s home the story line over the next few weeks makes up for a less than spectacular television series..
