Let's go to the point. Beware of enthusiastic reviews (10 stars?). They are either from people who want to overturn the general bad reviews or from teen dudes whose flagship for excellence would always be the dumb I Am Legend and not the original The Last Man on Earth or the following Omega Man (do not believe me, just watch them all and then make an educated comparison). On the other hand it is not correct to rate this movie with one star. It's just a mediocre product. When judging The Dark Tower, there are only two possibilities. If you have read the books, then the best choice is to stay far away from the Theatre; unlike the massive Peter Jacksons work on Tolkien world, this movie is totally missing the epic spread all over the 8 Kings books. If you are totally naive of the story, then it will looks like a flat and self conclusive, something between a teen vampire book and a TV movie. Idris Elba and Matthew Mc Conaughey: good actors but the latter wins the game by providing a portrait of pure evilness. Elba is flat all over the movie. Guess, that we would have had a much different product if Abrams' proposal of a trilogy intermixed with a TV series to fill in all the holes between one film and the other. By the way, I am tired of Hollywood ambition to brainwash the audience by inventing good colored character where there is none
