Review of The Dark Tower (2017) by Quiet_Spark — 04 Jan 2018

While i'm not a fan of the book series I have read the first two and this movie goes out of its way to change everything into something that will have mass appeal rather than a niche movie for fans. It was incredibly miscast, the prime culprits being the Gunslinger and the man in black, the plot was generalized and changed so much from the book nothing made sense at all and it spent way too much time on earth when the book mostly takes place in midworld.

This movie was an attempt to cash in on a successful franchise while generalizing the plot to maximize profit from mass appeal.
