Review of Aloha (2015) by Joeyrios — 20 Jun 2015

Okay, so Aloha stars two Academy Award nominees (Bradley Cooper and Emma Stone) and an Academy Award winner (Bill Murray). I was led up to this movie thanks to that very thought. I thought it would gain a 10 because Cooper and Stone are on top of my top 10 actors list. I don't know whether I was wrong or right to enter this movie. I mean, this movie completely blew me out; it disappointed me in an aspect.

I mean, I am not saying this movie was dogcrap, it wasn't, don't get me wrong, but this movie felt so heavy and so convoluted with so many unecessary things and dialogue, that simply made it boring.

I never saw such a forced presence as Bill Murray in this movie. I mean, he didn't need to be here. Also, the script felt like it was made for a person who has a phD in linguistics and communication, because they didn't keep the dialogue mellow enough for the audience to understand what is going on. They use intense and very big words in a highly advanced vocabulary. And that is what made this movie so boring.

I gotta give it some props though: Bradley Cooper and Emma Stone killed it (even though they didn't have any chemistry) and Rache McAdams wasn't bad in her role either. The three of them were awesome, but that doesn't make the fill enough to make me ignore all the flaws this movie has. So it's a no but a yes.
