United States | Boston Globe | "This hollow, stuffed effort is like a mediocre 'Twilight Zone' sadistically stretched out with four two-hour episodes over five grueling days." | NEG |
United States | Baltimore Sun | "An impressive piece of work. It has a convincing, realistic look, relentless pacing, strong performances and a sense of grandeur as well as humor and irony." | POS |
United States | Los Angeles Times | "Be prepared not to be scared, though. Or even to be stimulated. The Stand is for viewers with time on their hands. Lots of it. And for viewers with patience. Lots of it" | NEG |
United States | USA Today | "A garish pop-culture potpourri of mystical-religious hokum and grisly kitsch. You'll love it or hate it." | NEU |
United States | Variety | "While it's no 'V,' it's not bad; the mini probably would have played better at six hours, but should sustain the interest of King fans, who number in the millions, and may pick up some non-King followers." | POS |
