In my opinion the 1994 version was better. The actor that played Randall Flagg was terrible & James Marsden did not embody Stu. I thought Greg Kinnear was pretty good as Glen, Whoopi Goldberg, Jovan Adepo, Henry Zaga and Irene Bedard embodied their characters. Randall Flagg's side of characters had no depth. It's rare that a movie can compare to the book and this miniseries was no exception.
