Welcome to Thunderdome

About a week ago, Stephen King came out and praised it.

I had a feeling then that it was shit. Not because he doesn't know how to tell (most of) a story, but because they wheeled him out to put out a good vibe.

Every review I've seen has been harsh at best.

Sucked. I don't know what the hell they were thinking. They had 7 books to draw from, and the first book was where they should have started, and this is just a million miles away from it.

Sucked.

Finally saw it last night. I regret watching it. What a terrible movie.

Matthew McConaughy was just fucking horrendous. To be fair, so was his character. He offered zero threat, zero style, and was a mashup of terrible cliches.

I'm not The Dark Tower fan that Gordon is, but I know how he feels. This was a colossal failure at every level.

I will say seeing Abbey Lee's pretty face was the sole redeeming value the movie had. Oh, and the reloading skills.

I saw it a few months ago. Regret watching it. Was it meant to be a joke?
