Review of The Giver (2014) by Natenixon — 12 Nov 2014

I think that 'The Giver' it's an interesting film, with interesting ideas, but no everything on 'The Giver' it's perfect. The plot behind the movie sounds really cool, but in the develop, some moments arent' brilliant, and we can add to that other moments are boring and unnecessary. The cast it's really great, Meryl Streep, Jeff Bridges, Katie Holmes, and, Brenton Thwaites, and Alexander Skarsgård, and their performances are good, but not enough, because they do what they can with their characters, which aren't developed in an excepcional way. The script it's okay, but with the plot, some situationes could be exploited better. The movie has some interesting points, the visualy aspect that initially handled it's cool, and gives an interesting perspective to the film, and the soundtrack is another positive point, "Ordinary Human" by OneRepublic it's amazing!

'The Giver' is not a terrible movie, is an acceptable movie, with some cool elements, but could be better, and with some exponents of a good movie based on a young adult novel (The Maze Runner, The Hunger Games), the final result is a little loose.
