      Gunslinger, please hit me on the forehead.

      ■22:30~00:00, I finished watching "The Dark Tower" (US/2017) starring Oscar-winning actor Matthew McConaughey and black actor Idris Elba. Childish Imagination" is even worse. Columbia Pictures and Nicolai Arce easily destroyed Stephen King's best-selling novel in less than 90 minutes. disaster. I admit that I haven’t read the original book, nor have I had the privilege to appreciate the grand worldview in the legend of the “Tower of Desire”, but if the movie presents the essence of Stephen...

      New York Xiaobai's Road to Godhood

      Haven't read Stephen King's original book, but that doesn't stop watching the movie.

      From a pure viewing point of view, this is a pretty good movie to watch.

      First, it's smooth.

      The previous story background setting, character relationship explanation, and a few scenes complete the structure of the entire story.

      Every subsequent scene is very compact, and does not procrastinate too much in the inner activities of the characters, the details of special effects, or the...

      Competing with Harry Potter? Stephen King's eponymous sci-fi film "The Dark Tower" hits the streets

      Know the movie better understand you

      It is said that mainland film and television like to spoil big IPs, so is there any foreign countries that do not spoil it?

      have! And it's utterly ruined. That is - "Dark Tower".

      The "Dark Tower" released in August this year suffered a collapse in word-of-mouth. The film with a budget of $60 million received only $110 million at the global box office, which can be described as a complete hit.

      This movie should be called "Gun God"!

      Such a good-looking film has only been seen now. The script is simple and innovative, and the emotional line is thick enough. It is rare to see such a thick but unpretentious magical film. Love Idris Elba so much, he has loyalty and courage wherever he is. Of course, Matthew McConaughey is also impeccable, with slow motion in his eyes. The role of the little boy is also quite convincing. Sure enough, only Ron Howard can hold the life of Stephen Hawking's original book!

      BTW, Idris...

      If you watch this movie apart from Lao Jin's novel, it is quite qualified for pure entertainment appreciation. At least the story is told clearly. Although it is straightforward and lacks explosive points, it is not like some Lao Jin movies. Therefore, the role of Matthew McConaughey is still convincing. Some details after the Gunslinger arrives on Earth are slightly interesting, and the special effects are relatively shabby. The comprehensive 3 stars can be used to pass the...

    Evaluation action

    The film has made a lot of simplification of the story and characters, and there is no strong original feeling in the film. The original film’s unique worldview and settings, and the film’s presentation is relatively simple and rude, which makes the film lose its individuality among many fantasy films. (Sina Entertainment Review)
    The film reduced the original narrative cycle of the novel to 95 minutes, only a simple reorganization and...
