This was a surprisingly good hop. Had certain expectations set in my mind and where one movie well exceeded them, the other hit them right on.
HUGO - Nothing at all what I expected, I can confidently say that this movie was amazing. On all levels. Sound design, acting, story, and an overall beautiful and poignant piece of work. It takes a little long to really hit its stride, but once it does, oh man. I don't want to say too much, as I feel that watching without preconceptions is that best way to absorb this film, but I will say one thing - don't let the fact that this film is portrayed as a children's movie fool you...
THE IMMORTALS - I expected nothing from this film, other than an incredibly ripped and gorgeous Henry Cavill, and that is exactly what I got. Plot? Not important. Continuity? Pay no mind. Just sit back and let the dirty sweaty abs distract you from thinking about the discord that is this film. The only reason to watch this film is for the eye candy, and if you keep that in mind you will be quite satisfied with your viewing.
I cannot imagine life without movies, but am in no way what one might typically think of as a film student. I admit to watching and often enjoying foreign films, but to be perfectly frank I love nothing more than your down n’ dirty cheesy Hollywood action flick. Generally I watch all sorts of films so have a recommendation for almost anyone; except horror (no point with my eyes shut) or anything depressingly sad (film is for fun, not tears). This is raw “real me to real you” film feedback.
