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 King’s novels, then I really don’t think there is any reason or interest Then go back and touch this sci-fi masterpiece that countless people worship. Empty, mediocre, false, and absurd, filling every corner of the film, obviously insincere and countless omissions and omissions, it is so stupid that it wastes a lot of film investment. A vision of Jack Chambers' rough-and-tumbled so-called hell coming, letting Walter the man in black in his dreams lack evil reasons and Roland, the gunslinger who has no heroic sense but just revenge, play at will, except for "choose one" "The world of beautiful faces is in your hands." The fake-skin prophecy, the movie is really poor without even a little nutrition and ambition. Even the one-minute gunfight scene when the slightly good-looking gunslinger Roland finally killed the enemy was fleeting and immediately turned into a "revolver use demonstration tutorial", and he couldn't complain about the film critics and die-hard fans of the novel after the film was released in North America. The continuous scolding of motherfuckers is not because of the high expectations of the audience in advance, but the wanton destruction of a complete and complicated science fiction novel is simply a doomed mistake when planning the remake, which is simply worse than dog blood. The "Assassin's Creed" is even more perfunctory "The Death of the Tower", it is estimated that even Stephen King himself is almost regretting it after reading it? 【Score: 3 points/10 points】
