So this time folks I am reviewing a movie I saw in theaters that was made based on a book by the extra terrestrial, Pittacus Lore.
The previews were as follows:
Red Riding Hood (Wanna see)
Cowboys & Aliens (Wanna see)
X-men First Class (Wanna see)
Real Steel (Hell no)
Battle L.A. (Wanna see)
Thor (Wanna see)
So the book... AMAZING. 6/5. Made me laugh, made me cry. Made me feel joy, and made me feel fear.
A great work. Although it's written in first person perspective, PRESENT TENSE. I know, weird, right? But it is by an other worlder.
SO the movie... AMAZING as well. 4.9/5. I can't give it a 5 in all good will because of a certain scene that made me cry in book that I barely cared about in the movie. Other than that it stuck pretty close to the story of the actual novel.
The first twenty minutes I was... having a difficult time being fair. I had to shut off the part of my brain that had read the book and force myself not to judge it on that. The book is ALMOST always better, save, Scott Pilrgrim vs. the World. Haha.
But I'm telling you, for a teen fiction, pg-13 movie about good and bad ETs, leaving mankind stuck in the middle, it was pretty DAMN good.
I wanted the perspective of someone who had never read the book, and that was my girlfriend. She loved it.
I was worried she would be bored, but she wasn't. I heard some people in the theater complaining but they were annoying assholes that were talking through the whole movie to begin with.
There were 9. The Mogdorian's caught Number One in Malaysia, Number Two in England, Number Three in Kenya... John Smith, of Paradise, Ohio is Number Four. He knows that he is next.
Ah a great book, a great movie, and I can not wait for the second book, The Power of Six (August 23, 2011).
Movie over Harry Potter, and Twilight, a new series is in the house to rock the world.
This series is a warning from a Lorien elder to prevent the end of our world like the end of his.
Let the fight begin.
