"Dark Tower" was a novel recommended by her former female ticket, and she suggested that I don't read it, because the original is very long, boring, and obscure. But like "Dragon Spear Chronicles", I think that if I watched it, the two of them could have more topics together, so I still read the two novels, and then there was no discussion about them. The common hobby of the battle plan failed. After all, I really don’t know what "Dark Tower" is talking about.
After so long, even the plot of the original book has been forgotten, and "Dragon Spear Chronicles" was blacklisted because of the breakup, because the heroine’s personality is basically the same as hers, but "The Dark Tower" did not. So disgusted, I sent her a link to the trailer after seeing the news about the film, but she did not return me as expected.
I have watched so many movies. Long ago, I concluded a rule, that is, "When a commercial film is not small in investment but only lasts about 90 minutes, it is basically a bad film." I posted this conclusion in the movie. The group has also been sprayed. No matter what people think, movies like Die Hard 5 make this conclusion even stronger. And even if the cool reloading scene in the trailer of "Dark Tower" is unforgettable, it still has the ability to join the protagonist. The 90-minute mark in the film introduction reveals the meaning of not expecting this movie, to it When it was officially released, the box office and word of mouth were also speculated on the street.
It is very difficult to make an obscure original work into a commercial film acceptable to the public, but it is really the first time I see the twists and turns and complicated plots into a straight line... it simply becomes a bad guy and wants to destroy the world. , The protagonist goes to defeat the bad guys and save the world's traditional drama, so he also adapts a woolen thread. Isn't it a template from the previous type of commercial film? Of course, it also "inherited" the "feature" of the original book that I don't know what it was talking about, that is, the super-long "famous quote" that was said three times inexplicably. It’s still 90 minutes long, and I don’t know where the courage came from. The whole movie was rushed. I just introduced a place and hurried to the next one. It’s like "Everyone, hurry up and finish shooting, and I’ll get lunch later. Yes, there are chicken legs in the lunch box today, so I have to run for it at the right time." I don’t even care about the fierce shooting scene like bullets flying horizontally. After putting a few poses, the enemies fell one after another.
Of course, the movie is not useless. For example, the duel between Gunman and the Man in Black is very exciting. Yes, it is the part of the bullet change in the air in the trailer. You can download the entire movie, cut this part and collect it, and then the rest is fine. threw
Overall rating: 3.0/5.0 (In addition to the hurried plot, many actors' performances also make people play)
Entertainment Index: 3.7/5.0 (Although the quality is poor, the victory is fast enough, so it is not boring to watch, let alone a wonderful ending battle)
Box office performance: Investment of 66 million yuan, not the first-line film specifications, but also a lot, fewer stars, do a scene CG, anyway, it does not need too many special effects, but in the end I still don’t know where the director or the investor has drawn Genjin, unexpectedly shortened the duration to 95 minutes, sacrificed quality and used multiple games to make money, then look at the box office. In the first week of North America, it decisively rushed to the street, only 19.15 million, even if it was put down the line, only 50.7 million in the box office, excluding the theater share can not reach the cost line, the overseas box office is a bit higher than the North American box office, the global box office is 1 $13.23 million, properly lost money, wasted good actors
Drinking iced Coke for the first time is a very enjoyable experience. Even a serious gunman still wants a bottle after drinking it. One of the few memorable sections in the book is drinking Coke.
Yes, yes, some people may say why "The Great Gatsby" does not reflect the original core of the book and can give high scores, and "The Dark Tower" is so different from the original, why is it given a low score. Obviously this is because even if you don't watch it The original movie is also very perfunctory...not to mention I forgot what the original looks like...
