Review of Paper Towns (2015) by Osiris606 — 24 Oct 2015
I found this movie to be deeply disappointing, mostly because of the acting range of Nat Wolff. I found it difficult to watch his facial expressions and body language to the point where I was more annoyed than uncomfortable.
This movie offers a rough 15 minutes of excitement, 20 minutes of emotional scenes and a whole lot of anticipation building up to an ending that leaves you feeling cheated. The first half of the movie had great potential to deliver greatness, but everything after it is just painfully unexciting and boring.
As a European person, I find myself being unable to relate to the drama of high-school ending and prom, however most other teen movies did a much better job at getting close. It completely missed what I think was the general target of the movie.
Overall, would recommend reading the book, but not wasting time with the movie. Going with Nat Wolff was a poor choice, wasted great potential of the first half of the movie, overall boring atmosphere that makes you want to fall asleep, and an ending that makes you wish you had fallen asleep.
