As another month flies by (seriously, we're in May tomorrow - when did that happen?) it is therefore time for Ticket Stub's April Film of the Month. I've only managed to see three films this month, so this will be a quick one.
Click on the film titles to be directed to their IMDB pages.
Here is the all important rating system:
* = Poor. Why did I even bother?!
** = OK. Could have done better.
*** = Good. Recommended though don’t feel bad you don’t get to see this one.
**** = Excellent. Not quite perfect but highly recommended.
***** = Masterpiece. You’d be a fool not to see this film.
Do you agree with my ratings? Let me know!
If you read my post on Cinema Etiquette then you'll have pretty much guessed that this film is atrocious. As soon as the film began, I knew I didn't like it. The awful captions at the beginning explaining the story of how Noah came about looked like they were made on Powerpoint. I didn't like the story at all and ended up really disliking Noah as a character. Are we meant to feel like this towards the protagonist? The special effects were very much hit and miss, but mainly miss. It looked like a computer game rather than a big budget movie. What is more, for the first time since, well ever, I nearly fell asleep in the cinema. My eyes did close for a few seconds - pure bliss - and then when opened I realised Russell Crowe hadn't drowned yet - bitter disappointment. Noah doesn't even deserve one star, but alas, I shall have to give it some rating. It's up there with some of the worst films I have ever seen.
Rating: *
I really enjoyed this film. A lot more than I was expecting. If you like The Hunger Games then you are bound to enjoy Divergent. It was thrilling, tense and thoroughly enjoyable throughout. I loved the soundtrack - which features Ellie Goulding and Woodkid's brilliant Run Boy Run. Similarities between this and The Hunger Games may be a set back but I would definitely recommend this film.
Rating: ***
I haven't seen a crappy rom com in a while, so this filled the void! There is a lot of physical humour which I'm not such a huge fan of, but a few giggles were made here and there. I did not understand Nicki Minaj's pointless cameo and, to be honest, I really don't find Cameron Diaz that funny. Nor Leslie Mann for that matter. Her character became increasingly annoying! An OK film, I guess.
Rating: **
As you can see there is a clear winner for Ticket Stub's April Film of the Month...
Divergent
