Review of The Age of Adaline (2015) by Aliceofx — 11 May 2015

First I guess I have to mention the narration. I'll never understand why movies have unnecessary narration that is only good for killing the mood. It's hard to enjoy a film when it just spoon feeds you things. That's the one thing that really annoyed me, but beyond that it is just dull. Slow pace should try to compensate with a good plot. Age of Adaline does not have that. It just predictably drags on to an ending you could see from a mile away.

The biggest problem is that Adaline just comes on the scene and she is perfect. We don't see her grow as a character, change through the times or have anything that makes her interesting. It might have worked in film that focused on the plot, but a character focused film can't have a main character be this boring.

Other characters are okay but they just seem like accessories to show how amazing Adaline is.
