      I have not read the books this movie try to portray, but I was so disappointed about the movie as it felt like 80% was missing from it, because they wanted something else.
      But if that analogy is true, then..... No wonder this movie is horrible.

      @@paristo It's supposed to be a sequel to the series, with enough changes to make one wonder if there's more than one Roland, this one from a different layer of the DT multiverse, as the kid would be Jake 3 or 4... Supposedly the worlds "reset" when Original Roland somehow screwed up and failed his quest, so maybe this was the end of a different Roland's quest... And I'm guessing that the writers assumed that just about everyone watching the movie had read the whole series, and would get the idea that this came after, without actually thinking about the others who either didn't know this was supposed to be a sequel or hadn't read the whole DT series, and/or expected the book(s) in movie form.

      Corporations don't care about taking risk, honoring source material, and making more money in the long run. Studios would rather make quick money and profit off of existing work. Did you know they originally wanted to make LOTR one movie? The Dark Tower should have been made into a mini series.

    if you’ve read all 7 books, (SPOILER ALERT) you learn that Roland has always been the protector of the Tower, he just never remembers his past ‘lives’.

I will say, that they missed a golden opportunity to properly introduce The Man in Black as the Walking Dude though. Matthew's swagger is so right for the roll. Idris as Roland was/is a brilliant casting choice, I was curios to see if they would introduce some crippled old white lady as Detta and some young kid from Co Op city as Eddie...Just mentioning their names makes me want to read it all over again...

      I love the series and have been through it about 3 times. I totally get why a lot of people think the same you do. With that being said, this movie is ok for a popcorn movie, but man it doesn't come close to capturing the series at all. Despite the complaints about King's endings on a lot of things the man can world build. There is a lot of rich lore and material where even though it SHOULD be a long movie series, they would have done it more justice making it a trilogy and not omitting so many things trying to compress everything into one movie.

    • @RoseCatMariner
      @RoseCatMariner 2 роки тому +15

      @@markliddell8944 You’re absolutely on point, and I couldn’t agree with you more. IMO, I think the best way that they could have adapted King’s Dark Tower opus to the screen would have been to begin with Roland’s past as narrated through Wizard and Glass, since there’s so much lore bound within Gunslinger that unfamiliar audiences would be lost from the start. W&G would be perfect for a standalone film, and give the producers an idea as to whether additional projects could do well going forward. I don’t think the actual events that elapsed throughout Dark Tower (directly to the ka-tet, as it were) have a wealth of potential for a television series, rather than cinematically.
      On an unrelated note, it’s incredibly refreshing to reference “ka-tet” in a UA-cam comment while knowing that there are still plenty of people out there who appreciate what it means.

      Physics.
      If you want to survive from something hitting hard, you need to slow down as much as possible the time it takes to stop.
      This is example what airbags does in cars, they slow down the energy transfer from moving human body to stationary car.
      The kinetic energy that human body has as a mass, is way greater than the bus glass windshield and it holding support beams. So human body goes through, and windshield in exchange slow down the impact.
      Of course human body bones would go likely pieces, but you would have change of survive.
      This has happened in reality too.
      Couple times a human has fallen from airliner incident, without parachute. IIRC one was from 10 km altitude when stuart lost conscious and drop on pine trees, that branches slowed down the impact on ground.
      The other was soldier that fell about 7 km and hit the hill snow slope that slowed down the impact.
      The women IIRC wanted to get back to work, but airline declined because she was famous and her political views as activist were unacceptable for the airline.
      This is as well in case with the bullets impacting the human body. A bullet that fly through is not as effective as one that stops inside the body. Because the energy is the factor that matters, and bullet that fly through has more energy left in it, than bullet that stops as energy it has, is been released to the body.
      This is as well why getting hit when wearing bullet proof vest is not causing any impact that would throw person around, as the vest slows down the bullet slowly, and it is transferred to way that spread energy to larger area.
      But this is still vests that has something hard, instead just couple layers of fabric that is loose, and can be penetrated in body.

      I have thought of this question many times and ironically it was only seeing someone else ask it that caused my brain to tell me the only reasonable and if I am being honest obvious answer.
      The sorcerer demonstrates the ability to manipulate the motion of objects and is observed catching multiple bullets rapidly, he then returns the bullets at nearly the speed they would be fired from a gun.
      The logical conclusion is that the sorcerer slows down the bullets in order to catch them.
      The first bullet which was fired directly at him was slowing down in order to be caught when the second bullet was fired and ricocheted at nearly full speed in order to strike the first bullet and redirect it to hit him in the chest with a portion of the second bullet's momentum to give it back some of the penetrating power it lost from being slowed down.
      This also explains why the first bullet having struck him in the heart was not a lethal wound but merely caused enough pain to prevent him focusing his powers on the following bullets.
      So in summation part of the slow motion was an actual effect caused by the sorcerer which gave him time to take a second shot while the first was still in the air.

    It sucks but I think this was the best film we could have gotten - this is the kind of movie you make when you're 100% sure you won't get a second or third outing. If they had done it like Dune and confirmed a trilogy, then perhaps we could have gotten something closer to King's vision. Hell, even the books started to meander a bit towards books VI and VII, now that I think about it.

      The movie basically has nothing to do with the books. It's very long and sometimes hard to follow but many consider it King's magnum opus. I'm not among them but it is still excellent.
      One thing you add is that there are many references to kings previous famous books, but you can enjoy it without knowing.

    • @BigMac8000
      @BigMac8000 Рік тому

      The books are way better. This movie is a strange sort of exhibition of what could be in another world, but it fits nicely in a side-universe style canon.
      Watch out for the first book, it's pretty wild but by the end most people fall off because it's wild, abstract and meandering - the 2nd book opens and it immediately snaps to being more grounded in a good way, and you appreciate what the first book really was more in hindsight. I read the first book then waited 10 years to start the 2nd, after reading the 2nd I read the whole series.
      But they're awe inspiring. If I'd never read the books this movie would've been "ok" but it's a letdown only because of what the source material is and how they sort of teased that in the trailers - they didn't "get it" likely until the end of the film, when they realized that rapid spill load earlier in the film was the most Roland thing in the entire film. They went too over the top without earning it. By the time you see characters wielding guns in the books, you know not only what they can do - but what forces steady their hand, and why... and it adds a lot more.
      Good luck with the books, they're a great read.

    To everybody saying this is unfaithful, this movie is NOT meant to be an adaptation of the books, it is supposed to be a sequel to them that takes place after Roland had already been to the tower and got transported back to the Mohaine Desert with the Horn of Eld. Granted, it is not a very well thought out sequel but that is why there is no Eddie, Susannah, and things are otherwise pretty different because the premise of the movie is that Roland is making different choices this time around.

      @mikeretzlaff8846 Рік тому +2

      This movie is supposed to take place sometime after the last book, after the worlds "reset" due to Roland somehow once again screwing up in his quest. Supposedly part of the series continuity, while having enough changes to leave you wondering if the worlds' reboot changes the questor; as Clint Eastwood was the inspiration for Roland, and him being white was a major plot point in a couple of the books and in his relations with Susannaha/Detta, casting Idris Elba meant having to either set it after the books or as an "alternate timeline" version. It's stated that Jake has died more than once, implying that there's more than one world/timeline where the inhabitants are involved, in addition to the author confirming that other books he's written are part of the larger Dark Tower continuity, so there being more than one Roland is a possibility as well, maybe Elba-Roland is from a world closer to the core of the multiverse "onion"...
