I thought it was a pretty good movie. I can’t wait for another one to come out. I’m a huge Stephen King fan for the past 30 years. His stuff is hit and miss. This one is totally worth watching if your a fan of the series.

the plot is a bit thin elba is a the only reason I bought the movie he is a fine actor but for a gun movie not enough action for me could use a lot more action it was so fast paced it was like they were in a race to get done before the audience left the movie. I like the premise to the movie just needed more ACTION

I'm pretty disappointed in this movie. I hope that this is not the entire movie; that there will movie coming out soon. I have all of the Dark Tower books, signed and numbered. At the risk of being called a racist, although well played by the star, Roland is not black. If there are not more coming, then it leaves out that Jake dies and the addition of several other characters. Readers of Stephen king will recognize several of his characters from other of his books. That would make you what Stephen king calls a 'Constant Reader'. Of all of his books, "The Stand" is my favorite. The TV adaption of it was fair to good. He was in Dallas this year but I could not afford the tariff to meet him. My loss. He's right up there with James Mitchner in my book but an entirely different type of author.. Read full review

Surprisingly good movie. A must see movie for those days when the weather is bad outside and you’re stuck inside. Great acting by all parties. Action filled from beginning to end. If you read book series, you’ll love the movie.

It's a good movie. I am happy with it. I would NOT be happy with it if I expected it to follow the events of the books it was based upon. I am just excited to have seen these characters brought to life faithfully on the silver screen. (Despite Idris Elba not being an old WHITE dude like the source material.) That aside, Idris did a fantastic job portraying the character and his mannerisms and the general way the Gunslinger would carry himself. I reccommend seeing it for sure.

I dislike that it’s more or less a summary of the books instead of a multi film series which would’ve been great . But for what it is I enjoyed it .

Wonderful Dark Tower story addition. It’s the final journey for the Gunslinger from the books. Such a great culmination and executed excellently.
