Predicting The Rotten Tomatoes Scores For 2017's Biggest Remaining Movies

18. The Dark Tower (47%)

Predicted Critical Consensus: "Despite the impressive efforts of a game cast, The Dark Tower is yet another middling Stephen King adaptation, if not without its entertaining moments."

Expect mixed reviews for an adaptation that's firmly left fans of the source material on the fence, as it takes a loose approach to bringing King's legendary series to the big screen.

There's no doubt going to be praise for Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey here, and the action looks fun, but critics will likely prove split on its narrative above all else.

Some will dismiss it as a generic fantasy actioner, while others will praise it as an entertaining diversion from the glut of summer superhero movies.
