    The movie was too hokey. Just away to get out of the heat.

    I never read the books but will now. The movie was great and the three main characters were well cast. I have talk to friends who have read the book and it sounds like the movie deviated from the story but what's new. I recommend people see this one on the big screen.

    Too short for the story it is trying to tell. Rushed arcs, hurried development, and rapid resolutions. It should of been at least two and a half hours but they crammed it into 95 minutes. It will leave you wanting.

    Knew it couldn't capture all of the books. They did get the spirit of Jake and the gunslinger. I actually enjoyed the movie despite some bad reviews.

    Boring and slow. I actually fell asleep at one point. Very little character development and back story. I think Ron Howard fell asleep when he was directing it. Stephen King's epic story was botched here and I am very dissapointed with this result.

    Loved it! I hope to see sequels to help scratch the surface of what the books offered.
