good acting , good story , good special effects . This kid has visions of a gunslinger and violence everyone thinks he needs a psychologist and the visions are not real , his school principle recommends he goes to this treatment center , turns out they are from a different world where this dark tower exists , so the kid escapes but finds the portal to the other world . This is not like like some harry potter movie , this different world is violent filled with nasty creatures , its more like you would hope to survive . I read its based on the stepen king novel the dark tower . its a bit violent so use caution when viewing .

Other than the names of the characters and the title, nothing even begins to resemble the original story. I can't believe that Steven King allowed this movie to be made based on his monumental writing (except purely for the money). I have read the entire series of books, this movie is an insult to readers and fans of the original story! It is nothing but an effort by Hollywood to cash in on a well known writer and perhaps his greatest effort. I was disgusted the entire time that I watched it. This DVD goes into the garbage can tonight. I'm glad that I didn't pay to actually go to the theater to see it. Of all of the Steven King movies that have been messed up by Hollywood, this is the worst botch job I've seen. To all fans of the great writer, don't watch this movie - read the books!

movie is well acted by the gunslinger and the boy with psychic powers-both are great and on the side of good.the bad sorcerer is a lot too gross in his hurting and killing anyone at whim.-who doesn't please -him.ruins the movie but the redeeming factor is not good over evil-too much of a devils servant.the black actor and boy save the script. through reaching down to their souls with inborn gifts in the final battle-destroying the sorcerer. just because good won doesn't justify ugly violence-its the excuse directors use to lure the audience with dead minds.

Not a bad movie, Matthew Mc does a great job with his take on the Man in Black and Idris Alba is great as the Gunslinger. Mashes together pretty much all the books and adds its own flair, a fine urban fantasy movie.
