In order to gain more traffic for my blog, I am moving my Facebook reviews to here. I watched Clash of the Titans, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, and Watchmen.
Clash of the Titans was a flashy spectacle. The effects were AMAZING. I mean Medusa and the Kracken were very well done, graphically. BUT, the story was lacking. I mean, they got the myths right, which is unusual, and did a GREAT job with execution, but the story was just boring. We never really see any Titans. I give CotT 5/10.
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street was freaking AMAZING all around. It was sickening. It was bloody. It was disturbing. BUT, it was Sickeningly, disturbingly, bloody AWESOME. The movie was perfectly cast, it's hard to imagine anyone other then the awesome Depp/Burton duo taking on a story of this caliber. You really feel Sweeney's pain, and his hatred and need for revenge. This movie inspired to me to want to sing. I want to learn breath control, projection, etc. so I can sing My Friends and do it justice XD. I give Sweeney Todd 11/10. Definitely in my Top 10 movies.
Watchmen was a great movie. The characters were all very developed, and well done, the plot is for smart people, the effects for everyone else. It was a beautiful movie. I enjoyed it IMMENSELY. Rorshach was a great character. You have to watch it a couple times to get it all, which is a lengthy prospect, the movie is almost 3 hours long. The only thing that lost this movie points was the borderline-PORN interlude about 2 hours in. I mean, I don't mind sex scenes in movies, they aren't my favorite parts, but they're there to show affection between characters, they sometimes NEED to be there. But, at least be tasteful about it. I give Watchmen a 9/10.
