The last Gunslinger: Roland Deschain, has been locked in an eternal battle with Walter O'Dim, also known as the Man in Black, and determined to prevent him from toppling the Dark Tower that holds the universe together. With the fate of the world at stake, good and evil will collide in the ultimate battle, as only Roland can defend the Tower from the Man in Black.
First things first - like probably most people reviewing this movie, I&#39;m somewhat of a big Stephen King and Dark Tower fan in particular. That means that I am reviewing this movie with the books and whole King multiverse in the back of my mind, but also as a movie that is supposed to be mostly just inspired by the books. <br/><br/>With that out of the way, let&#39;s state the most obvious fact - Roland is black in this movie, and he is played by none other than Idris Elba. And while almost everybody will say that he did a good job, well he did, by unfortunately, he is not *my* Roland. On the other hand, he did a good overall performance for someone who probably didn&#39;t read all the books and didn&#39;t get really into the character of Roland. I might be wrong, but I guess everyone who read the books and got into the world of King has their own notion of what Roland should be like, except for his skin and eye colour, but that is now really not that important. Matthew McConaughey did a great job, despite me not feeling that threatened and scared by his performance though I would have wanted him to be more evil and menacing, but it&#39;s a PG-13 rated movie, so that&#39;s what we got.<br/><br/>The rest of the cast is actually amazing; Jake Chambers is almost a home run, Tom Taylor was really believable as Jake, while the others were doing a decent job portraying a lot of characters that were made up just for the movie. The acting is done really well. Then there are the VFX and other SFX - they made the movie really come to life and gave it a somewhat authentic feeling, despite sometimes overdoing it, but I didn&#39;t mind too much. I was mostly glad to see TDT come to life and feel goosebumps every time someone recited a line from the book. And I&#39;ve had a lot of goosebumps throughout the movie.<br/><br/>The end note here is that this is a decent adaptation of King&#39;s The Dark Tower. Most of us expected it to be horrible and garbage, but I am positively surprised and amazed how much I really enjoy it. It is a good movie that has a somewhat rushed ending, but other than that I had a great time. If you think it is a bad adaptation, at least give it a watch and judge it as a movie that tries hard to please everyone under a PG-13 rating, and we all know Stephen King never intended this to be anything less than R rated and full of blood and viscera. But it&#39;s good. Not great, not perfect, it&#39;s a good movie and worth a watch. Even true fans can and should appreciate most parts of the movie.
I&#39;m not familiar with The Dark Tower novel series and I didn&#39;t expect much going into this movie with a few friends. To my surprise, The Dark Tower turned out being one of the best movies of the year so far.<br/><br/>It&#39;s never easy to transform one or several novels into one or several movies. Most of those films are extremely long and fans still complain that different characters or plot elements aren&#39;t included. Many of those films feel unfinished and often end on cliffhangers, implying that there will be one or several sequels. Many of those movies are only interesting for those familiar with the novels as a lot of information is omitted in the films which are hard to follow for those unfamiliar with the novels.<br/><br/>The Dark Tower avoids all those mistakes so many movies make. The movie is short and concise with a healthy length around one and a half hours. This film doesn&#39;t end on a cliffhanger and tells a coherent story from start to finish. It might be possible that there are going to be other movies involving the main characters of this film but with completely new story lines. The film was easy to understand for anyone thanks to a reduced and clear structure. Instead of including too many characters and a lot of background information, the film focuses on a pitiless villain, a lonesome gun-slinging hero and an innocent child with special capacities.<br/><br/>The movie managed to be balanced without ever being headless. It&#39;s an action movie because of the breathtaking fight scenes involving an incredibly cool Idris Elba and a cold and sinister Matthew McConaughey. It&#39;s a fantasy film because of the existence of different worlds and the possibility of travelling between them. It&#39;s a thriller because of the ruthless crimes the villain commits. It&#39;s a drama because it shows how the gunslinger struggles with his father&#39;s death and how the innocent child feels rejected by his family. It&#39;s a movie for teenagers because it&#39;s easy to identify with the sympathetic young loner but also for adults because the movie is surprisingly brutal and sinister at times.<br/><br/>Add a constant gloomy atmosphere, a fitting soundtrack, great camera work without too many shaky camera sequences, imaginative visual special effects, interesting side characters such as the teenager&#39;s suspicious stepfather or the charming and intelligent seer as well as smart references to other works of Stephen King such as It and The Shining.<br/><br/>In the end, I couldn&#39;t point out a negative element of this movie. The story itself might not be revolutionary and can basically be described as the eternal duel between good and evil but the story was written by Stephen King and not by the makers of this film. From the gripping acting over the diversified genre mixture and concise storytelling to the stunning sound and visual special effects, The Dark Tower convinces on every level. Most importantly, it&#39;s absolutely entertaining from start to finish, no matter if you&#39;re familiar with the novels or not.
Bad dialogue, lame plot, fine. The bigger issue: How could a film with Elba and McConaughey have so little swagger?
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 &quot;The Little Sisters of Eluria.&quot;
