Watch The Dark Tower For Free

Touches You

Thanks for the memories!

Memorable, crazy movie

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

I knew going in that the story did not follow the books, but I hoped that it would at least try. Geez this was a huge departure from the novels. Entertaining movie though

I have put off watching this film for a while, as I was a big fan of the books. After viewing it recently all I can say is I wish I continued putting off watching this movie. In short......Why oh why did you even bother? What surprises me is how did Stephen King allowed this film to be released? You can't shove an epic, 8 book story, into 95 mins of film. Then, when you do, you take the abhorrent advantage of artistic licence by producing a film which, at best, is loosely based on the books, and when I say loosely I mean pants with no belt hanging around your shins loosley. If you haven't read the story then it maybe worth an hour and a half of your time as time filler before going to bed.

Okay, I admit: I am ready to watch any movie featuring Idris Elba. Unfortunately, he does not have the refined powers of discrimination exhibited by the likes of Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio. Basically, our favorite binge tv star (The Wire) will accept any and every script. So watch this nonsense, if you must, but I cannot recommend it except, of course, for the glimpses of Idris.

Granted, I have not read the books from Stephen King, but I am familiar with them as I used to work in a bookstore. I was looking forward to watching the adaptation of the novels here, and was expecting quite the unique experience."The Dark Tower" had a good story, albeit somewhat shallow in comparison to what I have heard about the novels from friends who read them.They had a good cast, whom did indeed put on great acting performances in bringing out their characters on the screen.One of the major things that kept "The Dark Tower" afloat for me was some really nice CGI and special effects throughout the entire movie.Wonderful connection to "IT" (Pennywise) and good tie-in with The Shine ability from "The Shining", if you are familiar with those from other works of Stephen King.All in all, then "The Dark Tower" was a tad above mediocre end result that could have been so much more. It just felt shallow and superficial, and it was definitely like they were in a rush to get through it. Which was a real shame, because it was painstakingly obvious throughout the entire movie, and it definitely served as an anchor holding it back.
