Review of The Dark Tower (2017) by Kuehnau — 14 Aug 2017
Yeah, so I don't know what the writer(s) director(s) were thinking with the Dark Tower series. Instead of just starting from the beginning like they should have, they begin the film focused mostly on Jake. More importantly, the opening sequences makes it appear as if the film (and the Dark Tower) is focused around Jake, which is absurd. While Jake was a major character, his role was never as important as Roland's.
It amazes me, really. Fans for a franchise will work hard to propell to popularity and then, hey, let's make a film about this beloved franchise and then just mess it all up. Has Hollywood learned nothing about messing with the source material?
King should be ASHAMED he allowed this sad excuse of a movie to have been released. What a waste of time, effort and money. A stain on an otherwise amazing series by Stephen King. Fans of the books WILL not like the movie. Take the money you were going to use to see this film and use it to wipe your butt next time you have a bowl movement, it's about the same thing.
