Bad acting or directing? Maybe too small a sound stage with too much green screen? Everybody always seemed to be standing so close to each other. I dunno, it felt low-budget, and maybe even lazy because they didn't seem to be trying to being anything new to the table. Just resting on their laurels to bring in the views.
Anyway, I didn't feel the nostalgia for the first movie like I think I was supposed to, I used the fast-forward button a lot - which I never do the first time I watch a film - and I just couldn't find myself "in it" like I did in most of the others.
It's too bad, too, because I would really have liked to feel that nostalgia and I *really* wanted to suspend my disbelief.
This is a rare review from me. I'm actually sorry that I felt I needed to write it.

I suppose if you've never read the original novel the story will still be good somehow, but if you're looking to live the story you've been reading off and on since the Eighties, don't watch this. Watch the original miniseries.
The changes made with the idea of making it 'relevant' will force you out of SoD so many times it'll make you dizzy. Everywhere you turn it's a different story because it's an interpretation of the story by the Teller.
What does King say? "It's the tale, not he who tells it."? This is a different tale.
