I really wanted to see this film as it was highly anticipated. What I loved aswell the fil was made in 2012,year of Great Britain,Olympics,and now James Bond! The cast of the film was brilliant Dame Judy Dench,and Daniel Craig- fantastic British actors. What I loved about the film was the action packed, exciting, edge of your seat, easy to follow storyline. The music fits this film so well as having an amazing singer like Adele to sing the title song. The only DOWNFALL (see what I did there?) to this film was the ending was slightly predictable as I kind of knew what was going to happen in the end half way through. But other than that it was amazing ,the music created the atmosphere throughout the entire film. Also there was abit of humour during the film mainly because James Bond's been around for 50 years. So there was a little humour ,and references from the old films.
I would recommend this film for any Bond fan or over the age of 12 as it does have a few violent scenes,but Bond films are like that. Also anyone who wants to go to the cinema to have a good time really.
Thankyou for reading this review ,hope to post more in the future! Zara :)
Jason Segel (How I met your mother) and Emily Blunt (knocked up) star in this realistic rom-com. Most rom-coms I know usually end up not having that much comedy and usual romance. Segel, a chef bursting in the burst of his career, proposes to his girlfriend after a year but their marriage is postponed due to different reasons, including moving from NYC to a frosty Michigan, for his lovers carerr. Both start to doubt their lives and if their marriage will happen. But with classical wedding jokes and moments and a nice romantic ending it is a good film, if you want to watch a rom- com. Now on DVD. 7 / 10
It’s not often that a film begins with a troubled adolescent being
tempted into the night by a 6 foot tall bunny rabbit who announces that
the end is nigh, while a jet engine appears out of nowhere and falls
directly on to his room. But these are the circumstances in which the
titular character of Richard Kelly’s twisted masterpiece Donnie Darko is
introduced to us. It doesn’t get any more normal from here on in,
and it soon becomes clear that all in not right in Donnie’s (Jake
Gylanhaal) world. The sinister self-help guru Jim Cunningham (Patrick
Swayze) appears on the scene, a mysterious book called The Philosophy of
Time Travel seems to mirror Donnie’s experience of the world and the
afore mentioned bunny rabbit encourages him to perform unspeakable acts.
Who is Frank? I must admit it takes
a while to understand the whole of the film, but this means that you
pick up on different ideas with each viewing. Kelly’s movie works on so
many levels, on the one hand it’s the tale of the repressive forces
operating in a typical American high school (a teacher is sacked for
teaching the “pornographic” novel); but
alternatively it’s the coming of age story of a troubled teen who
struggles with mental illness and rejoices at a blossoming first
romance; on a deeper level still it poses existential questions about
whether our lives are pre-determined.
It’s not genre-bending, it completely does away with the whole concept
of genres and goes for something much more idiosyncratic.
The acting is terrific (Gylanhaal steals the show), the
music coupled with the emotional intensity of many scenes will
undoubtedly move even the most heartless viewer, and Kelly’s directing
brings a dream-like quality to proceedings.
Very good, but don't be suprised if you get confused as I did 7 / 10
