Review of The Dark Tower (2017) by Nick L — 07 Aug 2017
This movie doesn't deserve the ridicule it is receiving. It's certainly not as good as the books, but it is an entertaining stand alone film, brought out by strong acting. McConaughey is at his demented best and Idris Elba is a perfect stoic hero.
The characters are underdeveloped, the plot doesn't delve into the universe like it should; but this movie isn't the complete mess everybody wants you to think it is. It has decent emotional moments and often creative action sets.
Is it a must see? No. Is it horrible? Far from it. See it for Elba and McConaughey being outstanding.
