Quotes Roland Deschain : I do not aim with my hand. Crazy credits Right at the very end of the credits, you hear the ominous whistle. User reviews Review. Top review. I've been looking forward to seeing this movie for a few years, I've read all the books including the more recent one 'The Wind Thru the Keyhole' and other books that Walter appeared in.
It's currently , and anyone who hasn't learned the 'book to movie' lesson by now needs to finally learn it so that they can also enjoy movies what they are, which is an extra bonus for a book that is well liked by a lot of people.
If the movie actually turns out good than all the better, but being more realistic about movies not having to live up to the books they're based on is best thing to do so you don't end up like the rest of these bitter people who leave the movie theater as quickly as possible just to come back home and write a 'nerd'tastic negative one starred review expressing all their deep down inner angst in the most pathetic form possible.
Luckily I beat many of them to the punch before they tore this fun and entertaining movie apart, and I did find it entertaining thanx to having zero expectations about it, go ahead and try it next time you go to a similar movie, you'll at least temporarily enjoy yourself.
Whining and complaining about trivial things isn't good for you or anyone else anyways. I thought they did a fairly good job considering all the various challenges that this potential movie presented them, and the fact that it at one point seemed like it may never even get released or get just get much further delayed didn't make the project seem as promising as it did when first hearing about it's production a few years back for the first time.
I got my expectations up very high when I first heard about it, but as time went on I would settle for just about anything decent, and 'decent' it sure was, though I'll rate the movie a 10 to make up for one or two reviews from the Negative Nancys of IMDb. I'm happy to see that Sony left this open for a sequel, It's still not a for sure thing if they'll make another, though King seems to think they will, but I'd pay a lot of money to see a movie based of the backstory from 'Wizard and Glass'.
Bottom line: Have fun, it's a fun movie whether you have read the books or not. If you haven't read the books: Read them if you're an avid reader, you won't regret it, but if you're just an average reader then the 8 books will take you far too long to get thru and you'll probably give up and have wasted a lot of time trying. One trick is just to be disciplined enough to read every single day if possible, and it doesn't even have to be much because it will add up over the course of year, and if you were to read 10 - 15 pages per day every day you'd be able to finish 'The Dark Tower' series within one year.
Quick easy formula: days per year, very roughly pages per book, so 5 pages per day will get you thru 5 books per year, and not difficult at all to make that 40 pages per day, and at the end of the year you will have read 40 BOOKS! Probably more books than you've ready in your life, just got to form the habit first and go from there, keep track with a notebook to stay disciplined if you have to. Other King suggestions: 'The Shining' Even better than the movie, and possibly underrated because of the movie's popularity, and the fact most people are too lazy to read.
Most of you will recognize of 2 or 3 of the others as those were all turned into good movies 'The Shawshank Redemption' 'Apt Pupil' and 'The Body' AKA 'Stand By Me' , and just as is usually the case are far superior to the films, and not that the films are bad at all.

Reviewer: kingfast - favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite - May 3, Subject: Anne Crawford Any film with Anne Crawford in it will get five stars from me, but this also earns them on its own merits.
A circus drama with Anne as one of the pair of acrobats. Herbert Lom plays the stranger whose psychic powers transform the circuses fortunes, but lead to disruption and animosity. Great stuff. Reviewer: Dr Feel Rotten - favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite - December 6, Subject: MUCH much better than expected I expected a snorefest here, but this one surprised me with it's great acting and nice side plots and twists even if the circus acts themselves weren't really all that impressive..
Watch this movie before you die of boredom watching old crappy cowboy movies! Reviewer: maineatticus - favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite - December 5, Subject: A must watch British movies of the s,40s and 50s are my passion so when I saw this listed I had to watch.
It was great to see so much talent packed into a great story. Anne Crawford was only 35 when she died of leukemia, but we can see in this movie the great actress she might have become. Josephine Wilson, who married Bernard Miles, is always interesting to watch. I was very pleased to see her in this as she has much more screen time than any movie I have ever seen her in.
