It's baffling why they even made this Dark Tower movie. It has nothing
to do with the books. The characters and plot are completely different.
That makes it pretty painful for someone who's read the series, and I'm
not sure there's anything there for someone who hasn't.
I knew The Dark Tower wasn't going to be good, but I figured I might as well see it anyway. I read all the books, but it was a while ago, so I don't remember much about them anymore. When I saw the trailer, my reaction was, "what was that, there was nothing there." Reviews said it was just painful to watch because there was so much potential, and they didn't do anything with it. I definitely agree with that.
