YMMV / Tower (2016)

• Awesome Moments: Rita Starpattern ran into harm's way, within the line-of-sight of the shooter, and laid down next to the severely injured Claire Wilson on scorching hot pavement for an hour to keep Wilson company and conscious until other bystanders were able to carry both of them to safety. Wilson might not have survived if it weren't for Starpattern's bravery. Also counts as a Heartwarming Moment, especially since the two were complete strangers to one another back then.
• He Panned It, Now He Sucks!: San Diego Reader's Scott Marks gave Tower a 0/5 star "bomb" rating primarily because he hated the film's use of rotoscoped animation when "there seems to be no shortage of [documented] footage surrounding Whitman’s killing spree", believing that the "absurdity" of the animation Disneyfied the horror of the tragedy. His review caused the film to lose its 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes after two years. While rotoscoping is disliked by animation buffs, most would agree that the use of the technique is justified in this film because what archive footage is available for that tragic day doesn't really tell the whole story, and that director-producer Keith Maitland did realize that the University of Texas at Austin would not permit him to film any live-action reenactments on the campus. Regardless, Marks received several responses invoking this trope in the Facebook comments attached to his review. His review remains the only negative professional review registered on RT as of 2023.
