Wow I mean just wow with this one. They pretty much bastardized the source material. I was really looking forward to this too. They only got a few things right. Roland was definitely still very fast,mccoughnahey (or however you spell his name) was fine as the man in black and that was it honestly. Everything else was really nothing like the book. Idris would have made a good Roland if he was actually like Roland,but he didn't feel like Roland at all and he really took me out of the movie because it was hard to believe it was Roland. It just felt like he was playing himself. I don't remember the book being a sci fi. There was a lot of tech in this movie and it kinda bothered me because I thought everything was magic in the books. It was not very western like which really bothered me as well. Also this was not Roland's movie which infuriated me sooo much. This was Jake's movie. Roland is really nothing more than a supporting character which makes no sense since he's the main character in the books.
This was literally Priest all over again. Both shat on the source material,but at least with this one they actually tried to stay true. Wait wasn't Sony also the one who released Priest? Ohhh that explains soooo much now.
This movie would have been good on it's own,but as a Dark Tower movie it's not a good adaption. It doesen't even work as a sequel like they said. There is literally nothing continuing from the books. It's just a bad take on the books. It's still a fun movie,but don't go into it thinking it's a Dark Tower movie. C.

It's disappointing to hear it get ravaged like this. When it was first announced I was hoping for a cool new Spaghetti Western (as the books kind of were).
From what I hear, it wasn't a western much at all.

They spent so long trying to make it, and now it seems they shouldn't have bothered.

Also I kept thinking throughout the movie. Roland could have used more oomph. Remember when Idris voiced Shere Khan in the Jungle book remake? He put so much into that role and I feel like he should have done that here.
