Ay not be the best Stephen King adaptation, but it's a worthwhile summer blockbuster with a sci-fi twist and an eye for world-building.

The bare bones of the narrative are in place but the lack of exploration into them is where the film falls down. Read more

There are moments, rare but present, that hint at the weirdness and emotional weight the film could have carried.

I don’t think it’s a terrible movie, but it’s also not a perfect one. It’s an average one, which is disappointing...

They do an incredible job of covering the cracks enough to make me not to want to hate it.

Too bland and uninvolving to be truly terrible, The Dark Tower rewards neither die-hard fans nor casual viewers.

An under-explored and oversold snoozefest with a paint-by-numbers screenplay...

Isn’t a very good movie, but at least when the film is teasing at something bigger, you know that it’s out there.

Despite some innovative and intriguing action set pieces, The Dark Tower is, for the most part, unwatchable. Read more

Nikolaj Arcel manages to take this Cliff’s Notes version of King’s prose and still produce something bloated and slow. Read more

An underwhelming and unremarkable action film that has the suggestion of potential beneath the surface but never bothers to explore it. Read more

Weet ondanks de twee sterke hoofdrolspelers nergens iets van een episch gevecht tussen goed en kwaad over te brengen. Read more

Het is spectaculair en verbluffende special effects eisen de positieve aandacht op.

De film is dusdanig gekortwiekt dat er een vreemde disbalans ontstaat: er is voldoende plot maar te weinig verhaal. Read more
