Reaction: The numbers for each Dark Tower film continue to drop with each entry, but the numbers are still quite good. Thankfully the box office figures started out pretty high for the franchise, so they still have a ways to drop before the studio gets into panic mode.
"In the latest adaptation of Stephen King's DARK TOWER series, the excitement and intrigue seem to have diminished compared to previous installments. The cast, despite their talent, fails to undergo significant character development, leaving the stakes of the movie lacking in depth. The storyline feels lacking, leaving me questioning the direction of the series rather than engrossed in the film itself." - Victor Dreamer, Milwaukee Journal
"The declining quality of stories in The Dark Tower series looks to prove the theory that Stephen King's book series is not one that can truly work as a film series. After the first couple of films set up the heroes, things have slid into a bland and episodic rhythm." - Clark Haverford, Nerdist
"While this fourth film is missing some of the more fantastical characters/creatures and elements that stood out in the first few entries, the characters are still there. I would argue that this film gives Roland a bit more to do than the last couple of films. The filmmakers made a smart choice to place the content of the story with the main characters we've been introduced to so far rather than following the flashback format of the novel. The series has struggled to maintain its momentum and taking the story away from the ka-tet could have killed it completely." - Joel Sapperstein, Las Vegas Review-Journal
Rated R for violence, language and sexual content
