I read the whole series in succession a few months ago, but i'm finding it hard to muster up much excitement for the film. I'm normally fine powering through a long series, but TDK left me exhausted. I'll probably watch it at some point though, if only because it's technically a sequel to the books and i'm sure i'll eventually be interested in seeing how they approached that. 

You need super sized quotations marks and italicized words to your Spoiler Comment. This is in no way a Sequel, despite what the director claims.

I felt like "technically" was sufficient. My understanding was that the film follows on from where the last book ends, with the time loop reset but with a new variable (Roland having the Horn of Eld in his possession). That's what it seemed like Stephen King was implying anyway when he tweeted a picture of the horn with "Last Time Round" on-top. Has something been said since then to negate all that? I've not kept up to date since then sorry.
