Being a tower junkie for over a decade, I honestly don't have much expectation on this movie adaption. Much of The Dark Tower series' charm comes from Stephen King's narration, which doesn't easily convert into the visual language of movies. Since the bar was set extremely low, I thought there's no way I could be disappointed in the cinema.<br/><br/>But dude, this Nikolaj Arcel guy has one heck of a way to prove me wrong.<br/><br/>Judging by what's revealed in trailers, I thought this one should cover The Gungslinger and *part of* Drawing of the Three, starting a whole franchise, with more installments to follow. But no. The director took pieces from all seven Tower books, glued them onto a self-made storyline (a lame one), and called it a day. Yes, you're reading it right. This is the whole thing, the entire package. What kind of idiotic mind ever thinks of packing SEVEN novels into ONE SINGLE movie?<br/><br/>Within 1.5 hours you will see Roland Deschain fighting the army of the Man in Black (vol IV), having his ass handed to him, embarking on a chase (vol I), picking up Jake Chambers from New York (vol I & II), although the Jake in this movie is really Jake Chambers and Patrick Danville rolled into one (vol VII). They fooled around in Mid-world for a bit, then discovered Algul Siento (vol VI), where the Man in Black's force are hording up breakers to destroy the Dark Tower. In order the thwart the evil operation, they went to this village that looks suspiciously like Calla Bryan Sturgis (vol V), activated a portal to Keystone Earth, trying to infiltrate en route the can-toi headquarter, a restaurant called Dixie Pig (vol VII). Then there comes a ton of pew pew pew and bang bang bang. All baddies died, including the Man in Black (vol WTF). They destroyed the tower-breaking machine, and lived happily ever after (vol WTF). End of story.<br/><br/>No Oy. No Eddie Dean. No Susannah Holmes. Even the Crimson King is axed, while references to him can be seen everywhere in the movie. This version of Roland didn't even attempt to enter the Tower.<br/><br/>I've thought hard, for nice things to say about this movie, and came up with only the following: 1. All sorts of creative reloading techniques.<br/><br/>2. Walter O'Dim is super duper kickass cool in the movie adaption, way cooler than in the original novels. Matthew McConaughey did portray the "Walking Dude" true to his name, always on the move, casually passing through lives and worlds, leaving havoc in his wake.<br/><br/>Otherwise… it's a dozen bucks wasted. Should have donated it to the charity.<br/><br/>BTW, IMDb should change its rating mechanism a bit, allowing us to give a 0 rate.<br/><br/>Oh, there's one nice touch at the very beginning of the movie. Among the names and logos of producers and investors, there's a screen featuring "Tet Corporation", accompanied by a turtle and a rose, kindling false hope in me.
Casting two of the heavy weights of acting like McConaughey and Elba for this movie made me really curiousto how it would turn out but the reviews and rating really scared me off. <br/><br/>This like many other movies shows a huge disconnect between fans and critics. The movie might not be perfect but is a solid offering and much better than some of the super hero and Star Wars movies being made today. Both lead actors deliver towering performances (pun intended) and Tom Taylor is aptly cast for this role. Many fans of the books were disappointed but if you haven't read the books this movie is well worth your time. The action is really well done and the story is coherent with good dialogue and not overly long scenes or lengthy plot points to follow. <br/><br/>I would encourage any fan of McConaughey or Elba to go for this movieyou won't be disappointed.
King’s Dark Tower universe is rich with cultural reference points and is always totally unpredictable, but in cutting it down to consolidate its highlights, The Dark Tower can’t even shoot the most necessary bullets straight.
The Dark Tower is based on the seven novels that collectively make up the The Dark Tower series, written by Stephen King. The first is called The Gunslinger, followed by The Drawing of the Three, The Waste Lands, Wizard and Glass, Wolves of the Calla, Song of Susannah, and The Dark Tower. Stephen King recently announced an eighth book, The Wind in the Keyhole, to be set between Wizard and Glass and Wolves of the Calla. There is also a short story involving Roland entitled "The Little Sisters of Eluria."
