Wow! This film is awesome!
The actors are all great.
The storyline is engaging and powerful.
The pacing is perfect and relentless.
The bad guys are well and truly and wholly bad - but not in a shallow or trite manner.
The good guys are troubled, wounded, but determined, resourceful and, ultimately, good guys.
This is excellent entertainment and well worth the price of admission.
Idris Elba brought the Gunslinger character to an outstanding realization on screen.
Matthew McConaughey portrays the Man In Black with such a smooth and consummately evil manner that he really brings home just how powerful and utterly evil he is - but without devolving into caricature or stereotype.
Tom Taylor's portrayal of Jake Chambers, the young boy from our world who has visions of the Dark Tower, was absolutely pivotal in making this film work. And he was marvelous. He was the perfectly played character that was neither too strong nor hapless nor a "Mary Sue" in which everything was perfect. Any one of which could've ruined the portrayal and thus the film. He thus carried an enormous weight on his portrayal and did an excellent job of it.
The film is dark and dangerous and thus well conveys how desperate the times are that the characters find themselves in.
Thus it was a great bit of entertainment to take in and a very well crafted tale.
Go see it now!
