The Dark Tower isn't the mess that everybody is saying that it is. With its dark storyline that doesn’t hold back to spare the audience’s emotions and great special effects, this is just one of those supernatural thrillers that you can sit back and enjoy.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 10, 2025

The Dark Tower becomes the antonyms of all of the other terms: short, rote, vague, lethargic, and limited.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 7, 2024

Elba is good with what little he’s given, and you could say he is a reminder of the potential this film had.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 20, 2022

It seems as though the filmmakers shy away from everything that made King's series distinct, memorable, and weird.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 22, 2022

There's nothing horrendous or offensively bad about the movie, but it's just too preoccupied with racing towards the finish line to stick with you in a meaningful way.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 29, 2021

This condensation of eight Stephen King books may not be quite as vexing as attempting to place all of Shakespeare's texts onto a single Post-it note, but it nevertheless ranks as an exercise in futility.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 10, 2021

A terrible adaptation of Stephen King books.

| Original Score: 1/5 | May 4, 2021

The Dark Tower fails majorly to take its science-fiction source to epic levels, but still manages to mildly entertain.

| Jan 2, 2021

Barrages of strangeness (such as a wood monster or the spontaneous ability to slow down time) are so poorly defined that they lack all significance to the heroes.

| Original Score: 2/10 | Dec 5, 2020

Ninety-five minutes is very short for something that needs to tell such an epic tale...It's like someone made a CliffsNotes version of the screenplay, then someone else came along and said, "This is too wordy," and made a CliffsNotes of the CliffsNotes.

Stephen King fans, prepare to be disappointed. [Full review in Spanish]

| Jul 3, 2020

The most interesting core elements of the novel have been stripped away, leaving a generic husk of a story structure that will leave those unfamiliar with the books confused and/or bored, with hardcore fans settling in on the homicidal side of enraged.

| May 12, 2020

This is both a bold, enjoyable swing, and a commercial miss.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Apr 23, 2020

Danish filmmaker Nikolaj Arcel (A Royal Affair) directed, and I'm not sure why.

| Mar 26, 2020

Most of what made the novels so flavorful is sucked from the proceedings resulting in a product that commits the biggest sin a film can commit: blandness.

| Mar 25, 2020

If you have a rickety foundation and you build atop it, your structure will collapse. In a movie, the script is your foundation and the script for The Dark Tower is rickety as hell.

The Dark Tower's seven volumes sound like the perfect fodder for a long-running prestige 온라인카지노추천 series. Instead, we get this chop job.

| Jan 16, 2020

The Dark Tower was interesting, but as I said, so much of the story was left out that in the end it was a disappointing film.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 5, 2019

Can't say that I hate this movie as much as some do. It has its flaws, but its strengths carry it through.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Oct 10, 2019

Although not the misfire it could have been, Arcel's treatment of The Dark Tower is perhaps more sacrilegious than an utterly tone-deaf train wreck because, to be blunt, it's boring.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 10, 2019
