Just came to post this, LOL.
I'm going to have to go into this reminding myself it's a retelling, and not a true book adaption. So far, I like what I see. I think Idris Elba will do justice to Roland. I'm definitely in for this.

As a fan it doesn't look good, and as a regular moviegoer it just doesn't look like my type of film.

That trailer looks terrible. Typical fantasy/action shlock and a complete butchering of the source material.

It doesn't have any scenes from the book that I recall, so for me to watch this I feel that I need to disassociate it completely from the book. That said, I'm very happy that they showcased Roland's skill for speed loading bullets.

I wasn't big on the trailer. I liked the For A Few Dollars More melody and Idris Elba, but that's about it.
McConaughey felt out of place and it just looked kind of basic. As I've said before, though, trailers can be very misleading. I might be wrong. Also, to be fair, I haven't read the book.

I love both The Shining movie and The Shining book tho. I'm hoping this will be like that. They can't give a fair book adaption in two hours. It just isn't possible.

The movie isn't a direct adaptation of the books. It is a sequel, so it should look different.

This is going to be the one good Stephen King film for this year. They've butchered IT just from the images shown. Have you seen the leaked trailer? It's highly unlikely that this movie will be much better than that one. I saw both the trailers. (Yes, the new one where the reveal Pennywise counts). And I think that they changed my intitial thoughts. They haven't really given anything away (Pennywise's look doesn't count. We saw the images) and the kids are probably going to be show stealers. As for this, it looks good as a action/fantasy film mixed in with a little bit of the Western style.

I don't imagine the movie will be any good. I'm considering avoiding it at all costs.

Looks good. I think Idris Elba is prefect to play a badass in movies

Looks like more of the same Hollywood blockbuster fodder that I've been liking less and less as time goes on. Too bad. I never got all the way through the books but I thought the first few were excellent reading.
