    I still don't think movies can come close to the story telling power a TV series can. Take walking dead as an example. They have 16 episodes in a season. That is pretty close to 16 hours of story...

    As excited as I was about the movie initially, I now think it never could have been good even if they had tried to stay true to the books. The Lord of the Rings movies are great, held reasonably true...

    TV is the best medium for such a long and intricate story. Movies, even spanned out over multiple movies are just too short to really delve into the characters. I thought the Marvel movies were great...

    Not sure it would make a difference. The studio would have to have MASSIVE faith in the Dark Tower series to commit to the money and resources and writing that it would take to do it right. It is...

    So got around to finally watching the Dark Tower movie yesterday night. My expectations were low and have to say, they were not low enough. Terrible adaptation of the story we all love so much. They...

    I have not seen the movie yet, hoping to get out next week and check it out. My thoughts though on a story...

    I think even if they were to put them in the next movie, it will not be the same. Movies are not the best place for telling intricate stories, they are flash in the pan stories. You could never get...

    Roland is clearly the "hero" of the movie (series, we hope) - the importance of establishing his willingness to walk away and let an innocent child die in pursuit of the tower is tough to overstate...

    While the production value and acting looks good, the story looks like another cookie cutter Hollywood story. From the trailer it looks like the Tower is what keeps earth and Roland's world safe and...

    Have to say, this makes joining the community very difficult when a post takes close to or even more than a day to even get recognized and marked "not spam". I love the Dark Tower series and would...

    Or will they even bother throwing it in? Studios seem to like dumbing down stories that do not need alteration. I get needing to leave things out and fine tune a story so it works in the few hours...

    I think that is what will happen. Books transferred to movies are always dumbed down. The scope of the DT series is MASSIVE. They would need a dozen movies or more to maybe get close to doing the...
