Stick with the books. You just can't make a good movie out of such a great series of books.

Acting was fair but the movie was really lacking. That said, how do you expect to make a 1.5 hr movie that comes any where near properly giving you the story of a 7 volume epic? I've found one consistent thing with a couple of Steven King's books that were made into movies: they should quit trying. Stick with being old fashioned: buy his books and read. If I were rating the Dark Tower series of books, this review would be 35 stars; 5 for each of the books.
