(35,175 posts)52. I loved the movie.
The kid actors were great. Maybe it was because I loved the book so much but...there are really no or few Dark Tower mentions in the movie. More in the book. Speaking of Dark Tower, that movie was the biggest disappointment to me ever. LOVED the books so much (diddy chuck daddy chuck diddy chuck or what ever the lobstrosities were saying) but that movie was a huge disappointment. So was the new The Stand imo. I made it through 3 and saw it was headed in a different direction as so many do. I know King had a hand in it but I loved the old one and can get it on YouTube so.....no reason to watch more.
I hope you find it, it really was a good one.
