 That's not them fishy about it man. It's good Hey guys, I know the series ended a little while ago, but I just watched it literally in two days I'm gonna talk to you about 11 22 63 now. I like certain Stephen King films I like a lot of the films of his that aren't horror films like Green Mile Shawshank Redemption But I do like other ones. I like the mist. I love the mist It was depressing horror films. I've ever seen it's great As for his mini series, I've never really watched them in full except for the stand Which was done in the 90s and then the storm of the century the storm of the century. I loved I thought that was great the stand And so then to see some another series from what I've just seen about other stuff especially nostalgia critic Kings TV series aren't really that great sometimes so When they were said that they were gonna do a TV series about his novel about a guy going back in time to try and save JFK I was interested and it was even more interested when it was James Franco who was attached to the project So how does it hold up? Well, I actually do very much enjoy it. I thought it was really cool I like the pacing admittedly you might find the pacing to be a little bit slow Especially that first episode, but you have to understand they also are trying to fill in a lot and a lot of information There's a lot that happens in this book and admittedly a lot of the stuff doesn't get passed on now I don't know I didn't read the book myself But my friend Sean who has read the book and then watched the series before he told me basically everything that happened in the Book and so I had this reference so we should say aside from some pretty made a few major bits not like essential but Bake in the book, but not essentially the story this the film the series does the job However, there are some issues here and there, but I'll get to that later The whole point of James Franco going back in time and being able to save JFK is very interesting because that is his Purpose that's why he's going back in time to do But what we see is a guy who actually has found a true life like found the life that he wanted in a different time And that's something that I really enjoy was seeing this guy who didn't belong in his time Finding a life in this time back 60 year for 50 years ago So to see him interact with these people have Relationships become friends with people and deal with conflicts of others That was great and then when he meets this girl cut say and she's great And that's another thing too is aside from maybe one person in this film Everyone in this film was great in terms of acting I thought that the cast was very well done Admittedly there is like a few characters that are stereotypes for Stephen King especially Sadie's ex-husband who's a crazy Psychopath, but that's usually that usually happens in these films and with King's work. However from the sides from him Everything works out great until the last episode now the whole point of him going back in time There's been this Fourth that's been working against him and that is time itself time is working against him to stop him from doing this Anytime he starts to meddle with things He doesn't it works it almost doesn't work for him If not time will try to stop him from doing it They will things will change from what he knows or that's in from the future So as he gets he knows this he's been living in the past for three years And he knows that anytime he tries to interfere with anything to do with JFK The time works against him. So he always tries to do different things. He always will he'll stay aside He won't interfere. He'll just observe however in the last moment He gets to where JFK is going to get shot and he instead of parking maybe down the road or a little Maybe a few blocks away. He parks fucking miles away From where the shooting is gonna happen and then he's like, oh wait The car won't start or wait. I've got all these issues like what what the fuck dude his character admittedly That's probably one of the biggest issues with this series is James Franco's character as nice as he is sometimes He's really fucking dumb Really stupid. There's a lot of moments that he Why is he doing this? Why is he letting this continue? Why did he not think of that? I? Don't enjoy that However, the thing that I didn't like even more was the McGuffin ending now for some of you I understand the moral obligation of the story I remember I understand the kind of the moral lesson and I like how it ends for the character, but in a way But I don't like it at the same time because it feels that almost nothing is mitigated that his consequences He doesn't get consequences for what he does and I thought that was very I don't know I think that was a bit underwhelming. I was it was too happy. I guess that maybe that's my biggest complaint about this series Is the ending is too happy? So but that's a common thing with most of these especially with King novels you you'll either be really satisfied with the ending or you're gonna be pissed and I'm kind of on the ladder, but I did like the whole project I like the entire thing leading up to it immediately. I thought the ending was a bit. Yeah, but I still enjoyed this series So in the end, I'm going to give 11 22 63 a Five out of seven. I enjoyed it. I think you guys should watch it. It's a great period piece It's very well done about the 60s everything in that is show is impeccably well done Sure, some of it's not Perfect. There are some parts are gonna be like that's really stupid But you will enjoy it as for the ending That's a toss up. Anyways guys. I hope you enjoyed this review. I'll see you guys next time
