I know this movie is going to more then likely be terrible but damnit if I haven't been waiting for this to be made. I'll be there opening night, it just sucks because I'll probably never get a live adaptation of Wizards and glass which is one of my all time favorite books.

Three days before its release and there still an embargo, not good

I doubt this will bomb on OW. There seems to be interest in it. It has 30k votes on Rotten Tomatoes.

 

Yes but the movie was announced so long ago that a lot of that is carryover.  It hasn't grown much over the past month which indicates buzz is rather muted.

I feel your pain. What a damn shame.

Sony's gotta another critical hit on their hands.

[DAJK]

Everyone wants to bash Sony's critical misses, but let's just remember a few weeks ago they gave us one of the coolest, most fun, thrilling, fucking awesome films of the year!

I give Edgar Wright all the credit. Same with Marvel and Homecoming.

I honestly think people are doing it because it's easy to kick someone when they're down. Especially with TDT following so soon after The Emoji Movie. As a King fan I'm remaining cautiously optimistic but so far it's not looking good.

The Dark Tower is completely fucked this weekend.

[XO21]

While the two men deny this and insist their joint contribution was limited to giving the director notes, one insider said that Rothman spent hours in the editing bay offering his input.

Yikes.  Tom Rothman strikes again.

The RT score for this movie is more anticipated than the movie. I can’t wait.
