![]() ![]() ![]() In order for Hollywood to get the series right, a film would have to have a longer runtime at least two hours or longer. For a movie that took over ten years to develop and make, a run time like that was a disappointment. Critics stated that the best moments of the film were when Roland and Jake were bonding (and Elba's performance as well), but because of the run time, they could not be explored more. Characters weren't as fleshed out as they could have been the plot was immensely rushed, and important themes and messages were merely glossed over in order to get the film over with. Considering the series contains eight books and over three thousand pages, having the first film be that short was a huge detriment. One of the biggest gripes shared by most (if not all) critics, and Stephen King himself, was that the run time of The Dark Tower was way too short, coming in at a measly ninety-five minutes (roughly an hour and a half).
