Stephen King let them make this?
I'll start off by saying I knew I was going to hate this film. From the moment I heard of the casting and then saw the first trailer. I get the justification for them making this film completely different (i.e. Horn of Eld - but was that even in the film?!), but for me it just doesn't work.
The book series is a fantasy masterpiece, but they appear to have made a standalone Dark Tower film pulled together with a vague mishmash of characters and ideas from the entire book series. It just doesn't work, especially not in a paltry 90 minutes. This is just far too different from the books - the characters are undeveloped, their motives are unclear. You almost have to have read the books to get an understanding of the characters as it just doesn't come across in this. Casting for me was poor too. McConaughey and Elba are fantastic actors but it doesn't show in this, they're let down by a poor script and a poor plot.
My only hope for this film is that it prompts those who haven't read the books to pick them up and realise how awesome they are.

Interesting story. The characters and plot kept me going. Some of the writing was long writing and found myself confused at times but overall very interesting and can't wait to read the rest of the series.

Honestly, this was a lot better than I expected. It was gruesome and, though part of the paranormal romance genre, quite intelligent and unpredictable. Thoroughly enjoyed it and looking forward to the next in the series.

This was easily my least favorite of the series. I loved the story line but I just felt that compared to the other two the whole thing was kind of meh. Overall it was just okay
