Review of The Giver (2014) by Gavrochemc — 23 Aug 2014
Let me start out, Yes, I have read book, and yes I Loved the book. I think it one of the best book I've ever read. I've was excited when the movie was Announced. Then the trailer... I got nervous. Very nervous. But I was still excited. So months pasted by and I forgot about the movie until July. Then the movie came out at No.5 at the Box Office. Boys, We have a Bomb at our hands. So today, My sister decided to buy my ticket for this movie for my Birthday. After the first 10 min of this movie. I knew it was bad.
The Story: If you read the book. You still don't know the story, According to the writers.
The Acting: Okay... At times. Now that I think about it, it bad. Taylor Swift has 15 seconds of screen time. Even though she has 3 billing in the cast list.
The Additional's: This category is about any of the Additions added into the movie. They forced a love triangle. The love story was so forced. It laughable how cheesy it was. I can explain it in two word: Completely Unncessary.
The Ending: They change the ending a lot. Now instead of having it end on a cliffhanger. That to complicated* for us. *=Sarcasm. Now they end with Jonas passing the Barrier of Memory. Now everyone in the "Community's" have memories. Nice job Phillip Noyce. You buttered the best ending to book, ever.
Overall: I despise this movie. I hate it.
