Review of The Dark Tower (2017) by Commonsense — 10 Aug 2017

Too many seriously negative reviews. Let me try to explain, I've read all the books, all 8. This movie is in no way even an adaptation of those books. It is pure Hollywood and is why so many loyal King readers feel their years of waiting for the perfect Dark Tower movie have been cheated and crushed.

Especially with the success of Harry Potter and Game of Thrones from book to screen. That being said, this movie is not poorly done. For the budget, they do a great job at bringing a wealth of action and scenery as well as a cast that does a very good job at selling what they've been given.

I went with 2 people who have never read the books and both said they enjoyed the film and were now intrigued in the books especially if it is better than what they just watched, which they most certainly are.

If you have never read the books, give it a try and don't bother with the negative reviews from fanboys. If you have read the books, understand the perfect Dark Tower movie may never get made and thats OK.

Even an average one can bring even more into our universe and have people reading such a fascinating story, which in turn may let to more creative minds than these to develop an even better version.
