Ridiculous! Absolutely ridiculous! (unintentional spoilers alert)
1) That most reviews of the movie were negative
2) Only a selected few cinemas in Singapore are showing this movie
3) And yet lame movies such as G Force and Where Got Ghost? are being shown by every single cinema
I know I've sinned by mutilating my sister's guinea pig while it was alive (now dead unfortunately), but for Walt Disney to produce a film about guinea pigs saving the world is way overboard. Oh come on, why guinea pigs?
Don't get me wrong. It's not like I have an extreme aversion towards guinea pigs and if they can pull off a love scene as well as Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams could, I wouldn't mind really. But the reality is plain for us to see, it's impossible.
Frankly speaking, I was a little disheartened when I read all those negative reviews about the movie. It would be a pity really, if the film does not properly capture the beauty of the novel. Having read the book roughly a month ago, I adored it and had great expectations for the live action adaptation.
It didn't disappoint. Screw those rotten reviews, though I have to agree with them that Eric Bana is naked a lot. A little too often for my liking. As a heterosexual male, seeing too much male butts (technically it's the same butt but still..) leaves me a little traumatised.
I won't exaggerate by saying that this movie is better than Titanic but it's still a pretty good tearjerker. Saw plenty of girls with red eyes exiting the cinema. Wanted to laugh at them for being such cry babies, but if I were to do that, I figured I'll have to disappear Eric Bana-style with the huge horde of offended cry babies breathing down my neck.
Which I can't. So yeah.Anyway, go watch it if you haven't, I strongly recommend it. It may be about time travel and we all know how time travel can get a little messy sometimes, but overall, the movie's still pretty easy to comprehend. But if you don't like the movie, don't look for me.
Look for althalus instead.
