Review of Amelia (2009) by Ali S — 02 Jul 2013
Amelia was very disappointing. On paper, it looked like it had it all. A convincing Hilary Swank cast as Amelia, a love triangle, suspense, a romance with Richard Gere...but it didn't follow-through on the screen.
Hilary Swank was convincing as Amelia but the character was written to be very bland, which is not how I imagine the real person to be at all. The love triangle was kind of thrown in as an aside that didn't mean much. There was little to no actual suspense. And the chemistry with Richard Gere was completely off.
I am still very much intrigued by the real Amelia Earhart and think that she lived a fascinating life, to which this movie does not do justice.
