In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

How the heck can Hollywood take a great series of books and take the first book and make it into a 1 hour and 35 minute movie. Even Stephen King said the movie should have been a HBO mini series not a short movie that made no sense. Unless you read the books which I have the characters made no sense. You can't expect these actors to try and help you through a movie. The script was bad the movie had a direction before the movie started. Get to the end as fast as we can.

Good acting and an interesting premise that flows well and doesn't really spoonfeed. It's not deep and you can kinda see where it's going, but it gets there nicely.It could use a few more scenes, though, to explain the world a little (like, what's the bad guy's deal?) and some more gunslinger in New York moments. But overall, good movie. Pity it bombed.

Movie was great, the critics and a bunch of users here are spergs that read the book before and probably anticipated more.

I went in with low expectations was pleasantly suprised. If you like fantasy, wild west and sci fi you will enjoy it. It's easy to get hate on an adaptation from such huge source material. It's good action and tense moments. Edris does the strong and silent type gun slinger well. Although it's a part clearly written for a young Clint Eastwood. Mcconaughey is lacking for me. With some of his choreography camp for a character as darkly epic as 'The Man in Black'. It was good enough to make me get the audio books.
