Review of The Dark Tower (2017) by Coregamer1408 — 07 Oct 2018

I know this IP has previous history, but all I really know is this movie adaptation. The story is centered around a young boy and the movie is rated 12, but it is kind of dark, slow and drab for a kids movie. So I have got to ask who is this movie for? Not one for the kids and not adult enough for the adults. This is universe/reality doesn't seem that well constructed if the mind of a child can bring it all crashing down. Says so in the open credits so no real spoiler, but what a silly premise to build a movie around hey? I get the Gunsmith mythos as it based of an older well known old as time legend due to some bad guys exposition. So that gives the movie a helpful sense of being grounded in the familiar and not feeling totally lost in this universe to what they hell is going on.

This is a odd one to rate it wasn't truly bad in any sense, but somehow it feels watered down due to the 12 rating.
