The Dark Tower
I saw a single still frame long before the movie came out where Idris Elba was standing onto of a car in New York with a gun drawn all dressed up and immediately decided I wasn't going to watch it. I could already see they just wanted to make a cheap action movie and it'd be very loosely connected to the books.
I've gotten to the point in life where when I hear of a live action adaptation of something I already like, I just groan and try to ignore it. Nine times out of ten it's horrible and if it's good I'll hear about it later. If I like something and want to enjoy it, I will just to enjoy that thing. I don't need to see a business decision trying to rake in cash on name alone
I really did have my hopes up when it was supposed to be a tv adaptation with Ron Howard. Watching all of that fall apart, i still was hoping for the best. Was not prepared for what we got.
