Review of The Dark Tower (2017) by Jaime L — 12 Aug 2017
The Dark Tower certainly looks good. It is well acted by Idris Elba, Matthew McConaughey and the boy playing Jake Chambers. The problem of course is that in its wisdom Sony decided to basically cram too much storyline into one 90 minute movie while at the same time adding in and changing things as well. Its a shame, this could have been a great series, the first book of Stephen King's Dark Tower series could have been adapted no problem for a 90min flick without the nonsense that the writers did here.
Still even though the film is not a good adaptation from the books, as a film it is mildly entertaining so I can't trash it completely. I never have to see it again but at least it wasn't a disaster of a movie like other King films turn out to be.
