This post is continuation of my post on review of movies I watched this summer. If you have not read my previous post, you can find it in this link. I had mentioned that I would watch following movies:
Twilight – if you are die hard Twilight fan, then this is a MUST watch ( now I dnt even have to say that). I thot this movie was pretty good summary of the book… when i say summary, i need to stress that again .. The book was one of the longest/biggest of the series and when they made it into a movie, they kinda jus showed you a glance of each chapter of the book..Still I think you could watch it once! On a positive note, Jacob was HOT… with all his six pack and stuff ! On a negative (for me personally), I felt that the fight scene in the end which is so described in detail in the book could have been longer in the movie. I was somehow looking forward to it. (***1/2)
The Last Airbender – Went for this movie without much expectations and thus was not really disappointed like many others …the movie was aesthetically well taken and I liked .. may b coz I had not watched the cartoon before (Heard it is much much better). I would not mind watching the sequels but it is not one those movies which is going to be my top fav list. Caution: if u loved the cartoon series, u wud hate the movie .. so dnt bother. (**1/2)
Despicable Me – Went for this movie as it was an animation … Knew it would be cute from its trailer .. Didnt expect it to super cute and fun. Definitely a good watch and fun entertainer .. One of the good releases of this summer (****)
Inception – DEFINITELY a must watch … by the time i wrote this post or u read this post, u wud have def watched it, not jus once, may b even twice… If you havn’t yet tho, then do it ASAP! brilliant storyline with direction and screenplay worth mentioning. Caprio did a good job too … It was like living within dream ! Enuf said already (*****)
Eat Pray Love – You must of read or heard about the bestseller book of the same name .. I have not read the book yet but I am thinking it is a pretty good adaption of the book… .I think the movie is a pretty decent one, at times boring or too long. Loved the way they showed Italy (esp the food) or depicted Bali with its scenic beauty – Wanted to go to eat in Italy and have a vacation in Bali right away … The only thing I didnt love about the movie the way they showed India… I think there was much more potential to truly represent India but then again I am biased coz I know about India much more than I know about Italy or Bali. Julia Roberts rocks … So if u r a big fan of her work, then definitely go watch this movie. If you prefer books to movie, I would probably suggest reading it. (***)
Yet to watch Predators, Knight and Day, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice & Salt. Blame it on my thesis! Will definitely watch at least a couple of the above if not all.
So until then, enjoy the rest of ur Summer :)
