JUSTIN BIEBER: NEVER SAY NEVER 3D (U)
Director: Jon Chu
Verdict: I honestly only went to see this film because there was nothing else on but I really enjoyed it and I'm not embarrassed to say! The cinema did consist of only girls, who were about ten but the movie still impressed me. I had heard that the film changes your view on Bieber and I definitely believe it does. I thought the film was fun and entertaining and it highlighted that he's just an ordinary teenage boy who just got lucky. I do think guys and total livid haters of Bieber would hate the film so I think I just happened to be in a very good mood!
UNKNOWN (12A)
Director: Jaume Collet-Serra
Verdict: I had seen trailers for this film and I was not sure I wanted to see it because I thought it looked weak and predictable. Although some parts were, I thought the film had enough twists to keep me interested. I probably could have rated this film higher than I have but I really don't like Liam Neeson as an actor and I really don't think he did this film justice. I thought he was too old for the role and as usual, I did not think his American accent was up to scratch. If you are looking for a film which keeps you focused with its twists and turns then this is the film for you but you should not see it if you are looking for an original, amazingly made movie.
THE ADJUSTMENT BUREAU (12A)
Director: George Nolfi
Verdict: I was really looking forward to seeing this film because this is the film I thought I was watching last month but it turned out to be a completely different one. I like Emily Blunt as an actress and Matt Damon has been impressing me lately so I was expecting a good film. Although this it is good, it's not great! It reminded me of a lot of films, like 'Inception' and 'The Box' which is why the rating is slightly lower than I would have thought. Although I loved the idea and thought it was really clever, I found something was missing. I was really hooked throughout the film but found myself very disappointed with the ending as the whole film seemed to be building up to something, but it seemed to flop in the last minutes with a seriously cheesy ending. Overall a well made film and a great story but somehow not the whole package.
BATTLE: LOS ANGELES (12A)
Director: Jonathan Liebesman
Verdict: I was looking forward to seeing this film as I normally love 'end of the world' films, but I had heard a really bad review before I went to see it which really put me off. I do need to say the effects are really good and the storyline was OK but it was the acting that really brought the film down. The trailer was really powerful which meant most people fell for it and the cinema was really full. The acting was so exaggerated and dramatic to a laughable degree and the ending was pretty ridiculous. I have only given it three stars because the effects were really impressive.
HALL PASS (15)
Director: Bobby Farrelly, Peter Farrelly
Verdict: I was expecting this film to be pretty funny as I laughed at all the trailers, and I wasn't disappointed! Although a lot of the jokes were shown on the adverts, there were a lot more to keep the audience entertained. A lot of the funny moments were also 'look away' moments which is why they were so comical! I loved the way the film ended and I would definately recommend this film to both guys and girls if you are looking for a good laugh.
RANGO (PG)
Director: Gore Verbinski
Verdict: I wasn't really sure what to expect from this film as I had heard mixed reviews. Although I thought it was quite slow to start, it started to get a lot better. The animation was absolutely amazing and couldn't be faulted. The complete originality of this film is what makes it a four star film because it is so different from anything I have seen before, it is smart and admirable. I would have to say that this is not a kid's film because I don't think there is enough attractions to keep them entertained. I'm not saying it isn't fun because it is but I definately feel like the directors were aiming to please an adult audience, with its clever jokes and western feel.
CHALET GIRL (12A)
Director: Phil Traill
Verdict: I was really excited to see this film because I really love Ed Westwick. I had heard this film was quite lame, and they weren't wrong, but this is what I loved about it. I have a weakness when it comes to chick-flicks! I would definately say that boys would really detest this film because it is just far too cheesy for them to begin to enjoy it. Overall a typical girl's film with a slight edge to it and definately recommended.
