Elba is genuinely great as the tormented Roland, but the film does its best to suffocate him under a mountain of plot-heavy nonsense. Disappointing.

It gets where it's going fast enough, but you don't feel like you've traveled anywhere at all.

More forgettable than loathsome, the kind of movie that occasionally rubs salt in your wounds by reminding you what could have been, but mostly just dissipates from memory as it's playing.

What I came out with is a sci-fi western about good versus evil with lots of shootouts and a lot of slick CGI. In other words, I was entertained.

Feels less like a movie, and more like a mandate being executed: Adapt this popular thing!

Outside of its actors, the film is unremarkable. Action sequences seem as though they were hurried, that is, when you can actually see them - Did the lighting team blow a fuse?

The Dark Tower avoids the lowest rungs of that ladder. Taken on its terms it's hardly a disaster, delivering moments of fun on a basic level.

Neither the catastrophic disaster fanboy circles would have you believe nor particularly any good.

The film's main character is Jake, not the Gunslinger, which makes this movie feel like a forgettable twist on "The Last Action Hero."

[The Dark Tower] resembles nothing so much as a mashup of The Lord of the Rings and The Matrix reimagined for the young adult crowd.

Intermittently garrulous, yet generally somnambulant . . . It is a series of predictable moments brought to life with indifferent, even perfunctory special effects.

Inconsistent, incoherent and often cheesy.
