Seen as they’ve just added The Dark Tower on Sky Cinema, i felt the need to share this. By far one of the worst adaptations I’ve ever seen, of an absolutely epic book series. Just dire.

Stephen King let them make this?
I'll start off by saying I knew I was going to hate this film. From the moment I heard of the casting and then saw the first trailer. I get the justification for them making this film completely different (i.e. Horn of Eld - but was that even in the film?!), but for me it just doesn't work.


The book series is a fantasy masterpiece, but they appear to have made a standalone Dark Tower film pulled together with a vague mishmash of characters and ideas from the entire book series. It just doesn't work, especially not in a paltry 90 minutes. This is just far too different from the books - the characters are undeveloped, their motives are unclear. You almost have to have read the books to get an understanding of the characters as it just doesn't come across in this. Casting for me was poor too. McConaughey and Elba are fantastic actors but it doesn't show in this, they're let down by a poor script and a poor plot.

My only hope for this film is that it prompts those who haven't read the books to pick them up and realise how awesome they are.

Ingmar Bergman’s masterpiece is also the greateat film ever made. Containing elements of Dickens, Dostoevsky and magical realism this epic of childhood combines every era of Bergman’s amazing career and surpasses them all on the way.

Brilliant!
At first, I was really daunted by the magnitude of characters and storylines etc. But as the season progressed it just seemed to flow so naturally, creating an epic and enjoyable experience from beginning to end.

Great continuation of the epic saga. We become better acquainted with the Dark One's chums (the Forsaken) and the fact that they may be hidden in plain sight. Rand comes to terms with what he might be.
