Sucked. So Predictable. Cookie cutter chick flick.
I Like Katherine Heigl a lot, Josh Duhamel not as much, but this movie was really awful. It's one of those movies where you know exactly what's going to happen as it happens. I really don;t need to say what was bad about it, because I could just say everything. But I'll say anyway.
In a movie this bad, usually the actors chemistry saves it from being completley awful. This is not the case with this movie. Think about it like this, in some tv shows or movies, the actors look like they are having fun, and they make you think, oh it would be cool to hang out with that group of friends, or it would be fun to third wheel a date with that couple. I actually would have been happier had the two main characters never met. That bad. Im just gonna end it there.
I Loved It! So good! Best movie I've seen in theaters in WAY too long. Oh and go see it if it's still out!
Ben Affleck was so great, Jeremy Renner was even better, and really all the acting (with one exception which i'll talk about later) was great. Boston/Charlestown was shot really nicely, it could have been better but I was satisfied. The story was solid, the action was great, and I really liked the characters. Just a really good movie. It was even funny at some parts.
The only gripe I have was Blake Lively, I haven't seen her in anything else, but she was sub par in this. her acting wasn't awful, but it sort of took me out of the experience. But thats it, I really loved it.
Sorry this is so short I just have nothing to say. Go see it.
WARNING: I am the only person (I know of) that didn't like this movie.
But yeah I really didn't like it. I can totally see the appeal, it's well written, the characters are interesting, and I will give it this: It's pretty funny. But there a lot of things I didn't like about it, and in the end it just failed to entertain/intrigue me like I expected it to.
Harvard is a really cool place, and it absolutely wasn't done justice in this movie. I am aware that they weren't allowed to shoot on campus, so it was a challenge for them to capture the Harvard feel, but its such a nice campus, with so many interesting areas, I think they could've done that better. I was really looking forward to see how they shot all the campus areas, and i just didn't it. And maybe I'm only saying this because I've spent so much time on the Harvard campus, but still.
That being said, the movie really dragged on for me, I kept waiting for it to get more intense, but it never really did, the pace was the same throughout most of the movie. Basically, it is about a socially akward kid creating the biggest social interface on the planet. It's pretty amazing if you think about it, and the movie didn't really capture that amazing feel.
I do find it really cool that the two twins in the movie were played by the same actor, that's really cool to me, a feat in editing and shooting, and I absolutely give them props for that, because I had no idea. Anyway, I am really ragging on this movie, and it wasn't awful, but it absolutely didn't live up to the hype. So. Yeah. The trailer was sick, and made me really want to see it. So I saw it and didn't like it. The end.
I had high hopes for this movie, and long story short: I was let down. I love Angelina Jolie, and she did really well in this movie, but besides her there really wasn't much to it. In the first 5 minutes of the movie I correctly predicted the ending of a movie, which you should never be able to do. In my opinion.
There were too many unnecessary plot points, and not enough core story. Also the characters were barely developed, beyond their backstories. Oh and there was no closure, a lot of movies have me feeling like it hasn't really ended, this was one of them. However the action scenes were great, and sometimes thats all a movie takes to entertain.
Unfortunately I think SALT was going for more, but failed to achieve what it was going for. Heres the premise of the story: She is set up. But it gets way more complicated, which I usually love, but not here. It just wasn't pulled of well. Don't see it. Unless you are in love with Angelina (like me)
