I actually enjoyed the movie a lot and I'm really surprised that it has such a low rating. Its got action, adventure, feel good/bonding moments between the boy and the gunslinger, a really good plot and a really satisfying ending. I think it has the right balance of them all. There isn't too much negativity or lows in the movie...just the right amount to keep the plot going and I really enjoyed how the boy uses his powers to do what he has to and how he and the gunslinger coordinate so very well. Its a family movie that I'm sure everyone can enjoy. I think it's got a low rating because it's probably not as good as the books. I haven't read the books so I can't comment there. But as a movie in itself I think it was great.
