The Florida Project (2017)
Not sure how to rate this
Found this movie because it was one of the highest rated movies by the IMDB audience this year, and after watching the trailer, I wanted to watch it right away. As you watch, you'll think "this is brilliant, immersive, and why didn't someone do this before?". Granted, you needed the right script, setting, casting, and director....and The Florida Project delivers on all accounts. This is not a movie for kids, more a movie that makes adults feel like a kid again. SPOILER ALERT! In short, this movie is well worth viewing. All 147 minutes of it. But stop there. For some reason, the director decided to sabatoge the entire experience with some weird ass music montage for the last minute and a half, leaving the viewer wondering WTF just happened, and without closure. Way to ruin, what was an otherwise great movie.
Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014)
Another example of a director taking liberties with and destroying a perfectly good story
I gave this movie a rating of 2, only to say that it wasn't as bad as Noah or The Hobbit.
Where to begin? Poor writing and dialogue. Having modern dialogue in an ancient setting just makes each scene laughable. Poor cast selection. Never bought in to any of the actors as the characters they were portraying. John Turturro as Seti and Christian Bale as Moses, really?
How do you make a movie about God, faith, and miracles, and try to downplay all the exciting elements just because of their biblical nature? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of making the film at all?
I found myself bored with this movie, nearly turning it off, and maybe I should have, considering there was no real, satisfying climax or conclusion.
