There is nothing hip about Jake.

The books have a ton of flaws but suggesting people just read the Wikipedia page instead is insanely dumb.

Well, this was a surprisingly kid friendly movie (there's violence and killing but less severe than a Harry Potter movie) that felt exactly like a bad Star Trek TNG episode.

readingatwork posted:So no Tull/Alice then? That's too bad because Randal's trap was awesome and would have translated really well to film in the right hands. Yeah there's nothing like that stuff here. It's a very, very sanitized movie.

I laughed when Roland teaches Jake how to use guns and then takes the gun back and never lets him use it in battle. I still can't get over The Man in Black holding a hockey puck to Jake's head to read his midichlorian levels to see that he's the Chosen One.

Darko posted:The funniest thing about this cycle of Roland is that he's obsessed with Walter instead of the Tower which apparently made him into a giant creampuff as opposed to anything resembling the first two books. It took a pep talk from a sad teenager to get Roland to even begin to care about the Tower, but hey, we get to focus the camera on a Pennywise sign for ten seconds for no reason.

Deadulus posted:Wait. So if this had been successful then the next movies would not have Flagg in them? There's enough nonsense magic in this movie that they could do whatever they wanted, but yeah, it ends cleanly with the bad guys defeated and the world saved. The movie's super sanitized violence is still the weirdest thing to me. Man in Black commands some people to kill each other and we get to hear some light furniture clattering in the background. Don't see a single punch thrown, don't see any aftermath, no one ultimately cares. Scenes like this completely neuter him as a threat.

Instead we get Roland and Walter taking turns shooting at each other in an empty, nondescript warehouse hallway.

McConnaughey has some nice campy moments but not enough of them. Most of the movie is just exposition.
