No, the most frustrating aspect of The Dark Tower is that it’s just… fine.
We’ll see if this strong word of mouth continues to hold up through the film’s theatrical release, but maybe, just maybe, The Dark Tower doesn’t have to be the Stephen King movie we all remember.
Therefore, it’s refreshing to hear audiences react to It as both a successful horror movie and a successful kid’s movie, because to really succeed, It needed to be both.
It’s just sorta there, a Young Adult action-fantasy film that limps through its paces before ending with a thud.
