As a very long time reader of the Dark Tower series, I was super excited to see what they would do with it. I couldn't watch more than 5 minutes before I had to shut it off, it was just so fucking BAD.

That was probably a good idea. I made it about 30 minutes in. The movie kept moving further and further away from the books. And it was in the weirdest ways. I'm not sure what all it showed in the first 5 minutes, but Randal suddenly has a group of people to help him, and they're using sifi technology with computers to open portals instead of the doors. I get things will always change from book to movie. I go in expecting it. And usually it's not a huge deal. But I just don't get the decisions they decided to make.
