Here is My Movie Review of The Dark Tower

So basically what happened is that you have this kid named Jake Chambers. Who is having these strange visions about the  Tower being destroyed by this guy named Walter who is using a machine to generate light to destroy the Dark Tower piece by piece. Then Jake Chambers goes into a portal to another world and meets Roland Deschain. Who is the last gun swinger in this world and If you want revenge on Walter forehead father's death. It is  up to Jake Chambers and Roland Deschain to team up to take down Walter and save both of their worlds and to prevent the Dark Tower from being destroyed. That is  what the story is for this movie.

Now a lot of people say that the acting in this movie is really bad because the characters are really bland and one dimensional. But I just disagree with this statement because I don't think the acting is that bad. I think the movie that had the worst acting in 2017 is Surfs up 2 WaveMania because the acting in that movie was so bland and so boring. 

Idris Elba still does a tremendous job as the character of Roland Deschain. What makes Roland Deschain such an interesting character is that he really wants to help Jake Chambert prevent Walter from destroying the tower in order to protect both of their worlds. The bonding between him and Jake Chambert It's probably  the strongest aspect of the film. I still think this is Idris Elba's most underrated movie and his most underrated movie performance.Fun fact actors like Daniel Craig, Christian Bale, Viggo Mortensen, Javier Bardem, and Mads Mikkelsen Who are all considered to play Roland Deschain. The chemistry between him and Tom Taylor and Matthew McConaugh is still really spectacular. 

Now for this being Tom Taylor ´ s Very first film he did. I still think he does an extraordinary job as the character of Jake Chambert. What makes Jake Chambert such a remarkable character is that he desperately wants to help Roland Deschain to prevent the dark tower from being destroyed and to protect both of their worlds. Probably the darkest moment in this movie is where Jake Chambert find out that Walter killed his mother and He breaks down crying because he desperately misses his mother and you can understand why he wants revenge on Walter for killing his mother. It is probably one of the most underrated movie moments of 2017. The chemistry between him and Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey is still really terrific. 

However the absolute standout of this entire movie is Matthew McConaughey as the character of Walter. What makes Walter such an underrated and entertaining villain is that his motivation makes sense because he wants to destroy the Dark Tower so he can destroy both worlds and he almost wins  by using Jake Chambert to produce light to almost destroy the Dark Tower. Now Walter's abilities are  very similar to Kilgrave from Netflix's Jessica Jones in the sense that they could both verbally tell people what to do. Walter's death in this movie is probably one of the most underrated villain deaths of 2017. Also the voice that Matthew McConaughey puts on for Walter sounds just like how Two Face would sound great in a Batman movie directed by Matt Reeves. If Matthew McConaughey was cast in a Matt Reeves Batman movie as Two Face he would be perfect for that Batman Universe. Fun fact Matthew McConaughey actually was going to play Ego in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 but he passed on the role to star in this film. Here is another fun fact both Tom Hardy and Russell Crowe were both considered to play Walter. The chemistry between him, Idris Elba and Tom Taylor is still really incredible. The rivalry between him and Roland Deschain and  Jake Chambers is still really awesome

Now a lot of people do not like the directing by Nikolaj Arcel because they say that the directing is not really awful because the movie is a mess. However I didn't agree with that statement. I don't think the film is that hard to follow. I still think it's really easy to follow. I think of you while I see a movie with really bad directing. Go watch Batman versus Superman Dawn of Justice directed by Zack Snyder because that movie is way more hard to follow than this movie and the town was inconsistent throughout the whole movie. I think Nikolaj Arcel’s vision for the film is exactly what he wanted it to be. He wanted this movie to be as accurate to the books as possible and I think he did an outstanding job of doing that. 

So in conclusion I still do not think this is one of the worst movies of 2017 because I still think the worst movie of 2017 is Death Note 2017 because at least with this movie it was pretty accurate to the source material well Death Note was completely inaccurate to its source material. I still think it's one of the most underrated movies of 2017. I still think more people should give this movie a chance and watch it again before they call this movie garbage. I give this movie a 10/10.
