Review of The Giver (2014) by Robert B — 31 Dec 2014
This movie only impressed me because of how terrible it wasn't. That's not to say that it was particularly good, but I expected less from this movie. As it was, it was just fairly standard. It was another in what seems to be a trend of movies about the one special kid that is slightly better than the rest of us that needs to save us from something.
It's Divergent or Aeon Flux or Equilibrium or Parts: The Clonus Horror or any number of other movies that are basically the same movie. The story didn't surprise or impress, but they at least had Jeff Bridges and Meryl Streep to give some great performances.
And a little Taylor Swift for the kids. But there's really nothing particular in this movie that says anyone should see it.
