Going into this movie, I was obviously skeptical. My daughter has been a fan of Justin Beiber since Youtube. I kid you not, she watched ALL his youtube videos and made me watch them. Being of an older, wiser breed, I knew that he was what the kiddies wanted. But I wanted none of that.
The movie started out as most would expect. "Hey, I'm Justin Beiber and this is my rise to fame." The movie takes us through about a half hour romp of his exploits, talents, and his deeds, be they good or bad.
After that though, things get interesting. The first thing that caught me off guard was the time traveling. That part when they had to hid from the Utahraptor while they were still at a concert was freaking nail-biting suspenseful. I didn't know how they were going to make it out of there alive, but they did.
Even more awesome was when they had to fly to the Death Star. Unfortunately, they had to kill off THE BEST character in the movie: Dr. Dre. At least he went down like a true hero. Unlike Porkins. Freaking Porkins. Who names their kid Porkins? I don't want to give away too much after the Death Star scene. I was pretty high on the movie after that adrenaline surge, so I don't remember too much of it. I do remember my daughter weeping and saying this movie wasn't anything like Lord of the Biebs: Fellowship of the Baby, Baby, Baby. I haven't read the book, so I can't comment on the similarities or differences.
Overall, I'd give the movie about an 8/10. It's definitely worth the watch, especially for the sound system.
