Review of The Dark Tower (2017) by Brandon G — 17 Aug 2017
"...The compelling aspects of the story seem to be undercut by Taylor and the story's tendency to service his character above all others. The interesting ideas woven into the film, particularly the history between Elba's Roland and Mcconaughey's Walter, are rich with pathos.
However, that isn't the movie Nikolaj Arcel wanted to make. Instead we are left with a check list of Stephen King tropes and references in a movie that is serviceable, and therein lies the problem: nothing in this movie is especially, "Stand out.
".
