The Dark Tower series was one of my top favorite book series, if not #1 (The Amber Chronicles being the contender). I have waited forever for a screen adaptation to be made and was so excited to see it.

And so let down.

Did the dude who made the film even read the books? Rhetorical question of course. If he did, he completely ignored them.

My real question in cases like this is, why make a movie from a book if you feel the story needs so much tweaking that you end up with only the name in common?

People go to see screen adapations of their favorite books because they loved the story, NOT to see some empty head's "vision" of how he pictures it.

If you want that, make up your own story, don't ruin a story written by a master.
