1.0 out of 5 stars A lot of build up and then it just ends. Jan 6 2004

'The Golden Years' has a lot of build up and then it just kind of ends. I felt like I was cheated out of four hours of my life. What a disappointment.

4.0 out of 5 stars Would have Been Five Stars, But..... Jan 7 2003
By A Customer
Format:DVD
This movie was one fun ride. It was so very well done. The acting was so unique, the old man (getting younger) and his wife (who was also in Misery) were so perfect they could never have been better. The Terry chick was so cool, the way she'd pull her gun out to get what she wanted. The general, and the Andrews guy were both great characters, and all the supporting people were fantastic!

So, you may ask, why not five stars? Why have I lowered it from great to really good? Well, the ending. Everyone who's seen the movie remembers the ending. It's horrible! I've read about how different this is on TV, and the ending on the video and DVD is horribly quick and hazy, so very unsatisfactory that people may develop a knee-jerk reaction and go bash this movie. Don't. Aside from the horrid (and I mean HORRID) ending, the movie is a five star expierience. I was riveted in my seat, unable to leave my television set, it was that good!

I got this for Christmas in a Stephen King 5 Pack Collection (The Golden Years, Thinner, The langoliers, The Stand, Cujo), and loved it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too choppy from the middle to the end Oct 1 2002
By David Quiles
Format:DVD
I saw the most of the original series when it came out years back but grew bored. When I was the DVD, I decide to buy it and see how it ended.

The first two hours on this DVD is great. I think it was the two-hour premiere. However, it goes downhill in the next two hours. Things were taken out that made the plot confusing and even worse some thing were left in that did not make the story flow. The last two hours are disjointed and for some reason goes away from the Protagonist. We don't see him.

The ending had to be re-done because the original ending was a cliffhanger for the following season. The ending totally reeks. It is really, really bad. You sit on your sofa for 4 hours and then it ends the way it did was he most disappointing of all.

Buy the Storm of the Century instead. That was four hours of chills.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of King's overlooked better works
Okay, it needed an editor to get a hold of this, but it is King and they don't edit his books near enough, so a tale where he had a hand in production, even directed part of it,... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Not golden but not tin either
While this mini-series was not the finest work ever done by Stephen King, it is worth watching. The series also suffers by a change in writers for the finale. Read more

Well, King has strayed from his usual horror story genre to produce a little bit of TV mini-series heaven. Read more
