Review of The Dark Tower (2017) by Jsum702 — 05 Aug 2017
The Dark Tower series is my favorite. I've been really nervous about this movie for a long time. My hopes were dashed when the first reviews started pouring in. I knew it was a failure, but I read the positive reviews and decided I still wanted to give the makers my money.
I must say I was pleasantly surprised. I knew this movie would never live up to the books, but the movie actually incorporates more of the material then I would've though possible for a 95 minute movie.
The story was good, not perfect, but good considering how much material they had to condense to make one movie explain what is going on. The story was a different perspective on the material that and works well as an introduction to The Dark Tower universe.
I thought Mcconaughey was effective as the man in black, I still have reservations about Elba playing Roland, but it wasn't bad. All together the movie didn't let me down, and re-enforced the idea that I want to see more of this universe on the screen.
Whether it be TV or the movie screen, they'd get my money again.
