The Dark Tower Film Review: Watchable but nothing really special
This is a good vs evil fantasy horror, Cert. 12a. I was drawn to this film since it was based on a Stephen King book.
The purpose of the mysterious 'Dark Tower' is to keep the Universe together. The young hero (Jake) continuously dreams and sketches The Dark Tower and dark demons, his parents are convinced he's a crack-pot and needs help. Jake finds a portal and is transported into another world – he helps the gunslinger to protect The Dark Tower and ultimately save the Universe.
The main characters are the 'Gunslinger' played by Idris Elba, the 'Man in Black' played by Matthew McConaughey, and the young hero played by Tom Taylor (the standout performance).
The film reminded me of 'Harry Potter' and 'the first Matrix'
Not a bad film but not great either, but will be another franchise.
5/10.
