Two Word Movie Review - The Dark Tower
Here are your two words:
"Two Stories"
No, this doesn't refer to how tall the Dark Tower is.
These two words let you know that the movie is a completely separate story from the Stephen King "Dark Tower / Gunslinger" 7-book series.
Sure, you have Roland the Gunslinger, Walter the man in black, and Jake the boy from New York. There's also one creepy-ass house.
And yeah, there's a tower.
But there's little else in the movie that you will recognize from the books.
Beyond that, it's a pretty decent action flick.
If you want an action flick, you should go. You'll like it. As a bonus, very little of the movie has "Stephen King" creepiness. It's a solid action flick.
However, if you've read the books and you want to see a totally awesome movie adaptation of the books, don't go.
You will be very disappointed.
It's a good movie, but it's not the story you might be expecting.
