The Dark Tower Reviews

“well, looks like I got myself a stalker.”
still love this movie 🤗

Matthew and Idris being in a movie like this feels so random idk. I know this is based on a book series but i wish they would’ve explain the lore a bit more and the scope of what Jake could do with his powers. Overall i enjoyed this movie, it met my expectations 👍🏽

Gotta watch the movie after reading these books.

I would watch a 12 part docuseries to uncover hoe they managed to balls this up with Edris Elba attached.

The casting was great up until Matthew and Idris, they both made it feel even more generic than it already is. The story was far from generic, and very unexpecting, I liked it up until Idris and Mattew got involved. Cool as the visuals and sound design got, the story went into silly mode and got boringly expecting. Partially blame the pacing, as it felt like a new story with every page turn, but overall the design got repetitive so did the world-building. Stephen King, I know but compared to 'IT' this looks like cardboard. Also, what on planet tower is the script? It gets so painful at times.

veldig purr. fantasi då

i cant believe a movie with idris elba and mcconaughey didn’t impress me

enjoyed the action, good casting

I do not aim with my hand; he who aims with his hand has forgotten the face of his father.I do not shoot with my hand; he who shoots with his hand has forgotten the face of his father.I do not kill with my gun; he who kills with his gun has forgotten the face of his father.

The Dark Tower simultaneously manages to feel too long and also not remotely long enough.

The 90 minutes DRAGS, yet it all feels like such a rush to do everything it wants to do, and in doing so, doing none of it well. I haven’t read the Stephen King books, but I’m sure there’s a lot of lore to this world that simply isn’t explored, or at least not explored very well. Looking at all more broadly, there are very few good adaptations of King novels anyway, so none of this should be surprising.

Despite what the top billing may have you believe, Tom Taylor is the star here. I’ve been a big fan of him since watching BBC’s Doctor Foster when I was much younger, he’s great and unfortunately hasn’t ever taken off in a big way - although he does appear in House of the Dragon more recently. Idris Elba’s charm and charisma is lost here, a tremendous waste of aura. Matthew McConaughey sure seems to be having fun though!

It’s a shame as this is was a blockbuster attempt that LOOKS like a movie. Visual effects are strong, lighting, colour - it all looks great, it’s a shame the core fundamentals let it all go to waste.

عادي .

It was decent

It was pretty good.

Brilliant, I was really drawn in. The set design was also great, well thought out.

I didn’t know what to expect going in, I didn’t even read the description. Surprised this was Stephen King bc it’s definitely heavy on the “Syfy” side. It was entertaining, no complaints.

3/10

je pense que j’aurais préféré une série mais c’était quand même bien

Couldn’t even finish

7/10 decent
