Have you watched it? Does it look rushed or missing a lot? I read the first book and while the concept is very interesting I didn't have enough motivation to read more. Maybe sometimes I will try audiobooks versions.
Anyways, I think they couldn't portray enough of the atmosphere of the first book into the movie without messing something up. It simply reality that happens to even the best of directors and screenwriters.

I watched it recently. I thought it was awesome.

I watched it once in the morning at my hotel, thought about it all day at work, then re watched it that night.

To note, the Dark Tower series are my favorites. I loved the books, and re read them in 2010 during a time of great emotional pain. Back to back, one after the other, for 2 months. Roland's story kept me motivated.

I tried watching The Dark Tower tonight. I made it 20 minutes in and had to stop it. Just too cheesy. Loved most of the other King novels/movies but that one as just bad IMO.

A film version of "Doctor Sleep," sequel to "The Shining," is in the works.

I heard about that. I read the original version of "The Shining" a while back and always wanted to read Doctor Sleep.

Wish they would reboot Dark Tower like spiderman. Someone is bound to get it right.
