Review of The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008) by Asche A — 04 Jan 2012

Remaking this classic was a bad idea from the start and after watching the end product I am really glad I didn't walk in with any expectations. Jaden Smith concluded my theory that he should be banned from acting.

I really was hopping throughout most of the movie that his character would just disappear. It was unneeded in a film that already has enough on its hands to deal with. The only amazing part of this film was the small scene between both Keanu Reeves and John Cleese.

I wished that the entire movie was that exchange of words..but other than that there is no reason I would recommend this movie to anyone.
