Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Too much of everything

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Let me just start by saying, you have to have some interest in the medical field to be able to enjoy this mini-series. I loved it personally. The setting actually felt as though it was a genuine hospital, and the scripts weren't rushed or bored through. It took its time, and gave a sense of being "real life."This is a show about a dead little girl who is caught between the afterlife and the living. She is accompanied by Anubis, the Egyptian guardian of death's gate. Here, she tries to use a completely and utterly damaged patient; at first paralyzed due to being struck by a van, to communicate with those of the living. She also requests the assistance of a psychic woman, who can get readings from the dead. At the same time the supernatural little girl is trying to acquire the people and doctors, there's actual medical situations happening. King does a great job merging the two worlds together without the story becoming "ridiculous." The actors really made me think they were trained medical professionals. The cast did an excellent job with making everything connect with the viewer. It may seem slow to some, but there's more than one story to be told in just a single story. That's a brain teaser for the reader, but it's the best way I can describe it. Without knowing where all the characters come from, it wouldn't make any sense when they come together towards the end. King always does a great job at this as he always does. It portrays more than one character's point of view to the situation. Anybody who likes the supernatural, and medical, will absolutely enjoy this mini series. I would recommend this mini series to every one. Which is why I rated Kingdom Hospital a 9/10.

Although very weird and grotesque, the original Lars Von Trier's "Riget" is much better than this "americanized" version. The characters, the plot, the hospital itself... everything is lost in this remake. An I tell you, "Riget" can get really, really spooky. Also, some of the characters' evilness is completely lost in this remake.Sometimes it seems like producers treat the US audience as if they wouldn't understand or enjoy the weirdness of some Europe's film work, and I'm remembering The Office, another TV show originally broad-casted in the UK's BBC: the original series is far more fun, much more real and politically incorrect... Go for the original, it is a masterpiece.

Stephen King's version of the Danish Miniseries "The Kingdom", about a hospital filled with oddballs and ghosts, manages to render what had been a funny, thoughtful, and eerie story into a boring piece of dog poop. Skip it and make the effort to find the original by Lars von Trier, you'll be glad you did.In his other works, King is good at occasionally creating scary moments, some even filled with prolonged dread; yet what makes his novels readable and other television projects such as "Rose Red" watchable when wading through the banal characters, plot points and scenes, is here lacking, which is strange. It may be explained by his inability to create the subtle forms of eeriness on display in his source material, which used quiet and stillness, not as the preface to a suddenly scream, but a soft murmur. King doesn't have the patience, and instead fills up the spooky quiet with incessant yammering.Gone as well are the often comic and/or obsessive, yet believably human characters which were the backbone of the original series by Lars Von Trier. King instead treats us to boring clichés reminiscent of one dimensional characters from his other works.The charmingly arrogant, scheming and blustering doctor Stig Helmer, one of the original series' many treasures, is robbed of his intelligence and turned into Dr. Stegman, a craven moron whose own arrogance, bluster and scheming ways would have seemed too broad on M.A.S.H. King can't stand to create mere A-holes, they must be inhumanly evil and stupid. Yosemite Sam was more nuanced and received less cloyingly saccharine comeuppance from his adversaries, although Yosemite's comeuppance was distinguished by being funny: no such luck with Stegman, and the Kingdom Hospital is plagued by King's inability to write intentionally funny lines. (Unfortunately the hilariously awful similes which turn up in his prose works have not appeared to have made it into his scripts, but there are laughs to be found here in the dialogue.) We are also treated to elements familiar to readers of King: tedious interior monologues; annoying singing by various characters; inhuman, snarling bad guys; a wise-cracking, delightlessly sassy god-character (here, a giant anteater); and writing which leaves nothing to be spelled out by the audience. This last quality is perhaps the most annoying of King's as writer, his inability to allow for ambiguities, to let something remain less than obvious.

This fantastic mini-series had me hooked right form the very first episode for so many reasons, the story for one thing. wanting more after each episode. I am so glad i rented out both volumes at once on D.V.D. so I wouldn't have been left hanging for the next episode.I LOVE this show, it has sadness, serenity, horror, twists & turns, and even a little bit of dark humour which is sure to be put a different perspective on things.You will love "Kingdom Hospital" from beginning to end. You would surely be a fool to not watch this, it's a real treasure, television at it's best, kudos to the cast and crew for their outright extraordinary work on this piece, and again, without spoiling anything or giving anything away, the ending is sure to have you guessing, but in a good way, because no matter what those criticisers say, they will not hurt my respect and love of Stephen King's: "Kingdom Hospital". It is a great show with great acting, great music, and a great storyline, one for the ages. For a mini-series, this is utterly perfect, and is even better than a lot of feature films out there.WATCH KINGDOM HOSPITAL ! ! ! 9/10Adios ! Y'all
