TNT RoughCut - Christopher Brandon
So moving, so memorable, so magically produced, it's going to delight millions of movie fans and sweep the Oscars.

Film.com - Sean Means
Darabont follows King's book fairly closely, allowing the audience to steep itself in the setting and characters slowly, like reading a good novel.
75
Boston Globe - Jay Carr
There's almost too much there, but the three-hour-plus film permits the kind of detailing that not only brings the storytelling to life, but sometimes persuades us we're breathing to its rhythms.
75
Portland Oregonian - Shawn Levy
An often pedestrian film, one that never inflates to the epic grandeur to which it aspires or transfers its own emotional trajectory off the screen and into the viewer.

Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum
Excessive, but I, like Mr. Jingles, can't resist the Christmas-season cheese.
