The story is based on the books, which are quite good, but it just simply doesn't deliver and what was a good plot became a poor story. Acting is pretty good, but that's the only point where I can give it credit. Casual directing style and writing was just average. Visuals pretty messy. So on short this movie is a below average movie, and does nothing special and even messed up the things they could have done a lot better to make the movie better. Simply a waste of talent of the actors.… Expand

Looking at the many negative reviews I think we can conclude this movie has nothing to do with the books and this is turning off a lot of fans from this series. However out of frustration or disappointment then giving this movie a veryLooking at the many negative reviews I think we can conclude this movie has nothing to do with the books and this is turning off a lot of fans from this series. However out of frustration or disappointment then giving this movie a very negative review does not do it justice. When you can see this movie as a stand alone and look past the books this actually is a very entertaining movie. Idris Elba does a great job as Roland and Tom Taylor is doing potentially even better in my eyes. Overall I enjoyed this movie very much.… Expand
