Unlike many, many, many of you out there that completely HATED this movie, I on the other hand was appeased. Right now, I know you all (that have seen the movie) probably think I'm nuts, but before you judge me, read my review and explanations. For those who have not yet seen the movie and plan on it: DO NOT READ THIS! Now, I think a huge reason why I didn't find this movie so horrible is because I went in with hugely low expectations based on the trailer, so the few funny and likable parts of the film to me were a huge success. But yes, I do agree with many of those out there, it's still shameful compared to the series, and even the last film. I don't even understand why they even bothered with a sequel, to me that's beating a dead horse and tarnishing the success that is Sex and the City. This movie was trite, there, I've said it, now on with the review. What I liked about it: I loved seeing the girls, and it was especially nice seeing Miranda far more chipper and positive than I've ever seen her, but without it taking away from her personality. I also enjoyed the few funny moments, like their camel ride and where Charlotte had camel toe. And also, albeit really silly and more boy-like humour, the nanny with no bra. And most of the fashion was ridiculous, but I always thought that even in the series and last movie, the fashion has always been ridiculous, even living in NYC, I don't know why anyone would wear 90% of the things they are costumed in. The ultimate article of outrageously ugly fashion in this film is Samantha's spiky, glittery, shoulder armor during their karaoke moment. I mean seriously, what the hell is that??! Seems far more dangerous than anything else. And for the longest time, Carrie's wardro... ... middle of paper ... ...nd Smith and Aiden were the worst of it, I just didn't see the major point of it. Smith only showed up to provide a reason for the girl to jet off to Abu Dhabi, and Aiden just to appease what I think are some SATC fans previous wishes, but it just didn't fit all that well, other than to now ruin the image of Aiden as a possible jerk that would cheat on his wife and mother of his 3 children. Oh, and let's not forget Stanford and Anthony, I thought it was a little lame that they end up marrying each other, it's just so cliché (not to mention the appearance of Liza Minnelli singing "Put a Ring on it"). So there you have it, and it looks like in fact that my opinion isn't really all that different from mostly everyone else. I think the only difference is that I got over the fact that SATC 2 was gonna bomb since the trailer and was able to enjoy the few tidbits of fun.
The plot was awful and the characters are cardboard cutouts and stereotypes. Some did not like how weak Roz was, finding that her life was made for her by men and that all she does is wait for Trae to come back to her.
Lastly, I do concur with most of the opinions presented in the film. Spike lee did an amazing work getting first-hand
To begin with, I particularly enjoyed the actors playing Hannah and Eli because each actor appears
In conclusion, details involving the characters and symbolic meanings to objects are the factors that make the novel better than the movie. Leaving out aspects of the novel limits the viewer’s appreciation for the story. One may favor the film over the novel or vice versa, but that person will not overlook the intense work that went into the making of both. The film and novel have their similarities and differences, but both effectively communicate their meaning to the public.
...are times in life when we, as humans, need to be put in our place. We get so caught up into thinking we can do everything on our own, and we don't need anyone's help. While it is true that we can handle things on our own sometimes, there are other times when we need others' help. My favorite aspect of this movie is how human Mr. Incredible is. We see him suffer before he gets his happy ending. In my opinion, this movie tells us a lot about human nature, and it is definitely worth watching.
The movie is, most likely, done well enough to intrigue its intended audience. It captured the theme and story line of the book. It falls short, though, when compared to the beautiful, sensitive and contemplative prose of Natalie Babbitt. One could only hope that a viewing of the film will lead the watcher to try the book and be delighted all the more.
The book and the movie were both very good. The book took time to explain things like setting, people’s emotions, people’s traits, and important background information. There was no time for these explanations the movie. The book, however, had parts in the beginning where some readers could become flustered.
Every performance was presented with charm. The flashing, changing colors seem to go along with the performances. The director was humorous. The performers outfits were on point too. I liked the color coding of the vocalists, Jeremy, Jordan, and Rowan. Also, Julie wore a pretty suede dress and had a great voice. It was nice to see her come out for the 2nd time to sing. When Spencer kept playing his saxophone in some of the performances, it was just amazing. Some of my favorite performances were Sittin on the Dock of the Bay, Ain’t too Proud to Beg, In a Sentimental Mood, and more. It really made me feel like I was in New Orleans all over again. I absolutely love Otis Redding and The Temptations music, so I wasn’t new to these songs they played. I was sitting in the back (R-125) where I felt comfortable to bob my head to the music. If I ever come back to see another concert, I will make sure to get a seat in the back again. I adore Jordan that did sung the Temptations song. I thought it was exciting to see his enthusiasm while on stage keeping us engaged, but everyone did great in their own way. The song by Duke Ellington made me feel melancholy, the piece was soft. I just couldn’t believe how well everyone contributed and gave an outstanding
However, overall, I really enjoyed the performance. Even as a Hairspray conniseur and snooty arts school student that I am, I thought it was fantastic. I am very happy for my friends and peers who put on the production, and I wish both the cast and crew good luck with the Schuler’s later this
Another thing that surprised me was the fact that Michelle and Mariya’s parents left them to go on a vacation. At first I wasn’t sure how exactly they would be able to leave, but then when they said that they had three women come help the girls and their sister it made sense to me. Surprising probably isn’t the best word either, I would probably describe it as interesting because I’ve always wondered how it would look for parents to go away and it was nice to be able to see what all they have to do in order for a vacation.
The main characters were Charlie and Riley. I did enjoy the characters. I found them intriguing and loved that I could relate with Charlie. They were characters that in the eyes of the public would be considered bad, but in my eyes, they were trying to be good.
My favorite change in this final showing was in the final scene between Agnes and Tilly, Agnes says to Tilly that she’s “not real, she’s gone.” This line was differently performed in that you could audibly hear strong emotion in Agnes’ voice, causing me to actually cry instead of just tear up as I had the past two times. She allowed her character to be more vulnerable and emotional without coming off of her voice or sacrificing clarity for it.
The movie is has moments that will break your heart, inspires people to do more with themselves, but with some small plot discrepancies that could have been worked out with a few extra minutes of the movie instead of hanging us out to dry. However, Ebert raises a question “How much of the self we treasure so much is simply a matter of good luck, of being spared in a minefield of neurological chance?” (Ebert). The movie raises questions on what we do to those who need our love and support. The best part of the movie is how they come awake and get to experience a part of life before the medicine wears off and they go back into their catatonic state. The movie is worth the time and money, it is family friendly, and a sure classic to inspire you family for many years.
...r, this movie is lack of depth of storyline. The audiences can even predict what will happen in the next scenes. Moreover, the ending of this movie is too cheesy and irrational according to me. If only they change the ending to become more interesting and rational, I will give a four or five stars out of five. In spite of a lame twist ending, this movie is a perfect example to show that managers should be able to motivate and challenge their employee. It is important to remember that a happy employee means a productive employee.
