Absolute pants. Don't waste your time.

Rubbish. I've read the whole of the Dark Tower book series and tried to keep an open mind. That what took me a year to read couldn't be done justice in one film There were so many bits from all of the books slotted together that made the film disjointed. Iris Elba, as much as I like him as an actor was not the right casting for Roland, who from the books gives me the image of a young Clint Eastwood in the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. The film should have been a 'Harry Potter' type scenario and it just didn't work as a stand alone film. My husband has never read the books and as an unbiased bystander just thought the film was boring.
