The 2 stars are given for the last 20 minutes of the film. I was really looking forward to seeing this film, having read the series from Stephen King. Although the characters were played well, the film put me to sleep in the first hour. The interaction with the two gunslingers in the last 20 minutes redeemed the movie for a bit...sure wish it were better.

Ya waiting two hours for that was definitely not worth it

I am a big fan of the books and so I was extremely excited to see this film. Unfortunately it was kind of a let down. The performances were amazing, but the story fell flat. I think it needed to be at least 30 minutes longer. Roland and Jake's relationship wasn't given enough time to develop; we didn't get to see how they became so close. The technology was confusing. Who were the furry things in people suits? Why was Walter trying to destroy the tower? What was the thing they strapped the kids

The little action there was, is few & far apart, story was bland & all over the place.
