The actors portrayed the characters spot on. It has nods to the book for long time fans, however it borrows elements from so many of the books that it is unclear where it can go. That said the visuals are amazing, and it was probably made to appeal to a wider audience rather than just the readers. Overall, it is an interesting fresh take on the series as a whole.

I've waited 15 years to see this series come to life, I was not disappointed. Amazing!

The movie makes me finally want to test-drive one of the “Dark Tower” novels, if only to see what King himself was able to bring to the party. Maybe that’s been his evil plan all along.

From the impure perspective of someone who hasn't read King's series, The Dark Tower isn't half-bad. Faint praise, but this movie will take all it can get.
