Review of Water for Elephants (2011) by Nitpicker . — 22 Jan 2018
Pros.
- Time era feels right.
- Circus era feels right.
- Christoph Waltz carries the whole movie.
- Supporting characters were played really well.
Cons.
- Reese Witherspoon could have been played by anybody.
- Robert Pattinson still acts like he's on Twilight.
- We don't need to hear him beating the elephant 50 times.
- Pattinson is a drop-out vet for the sake of the plot.
- Pattinson is a "manic pixie dream girl" trope.
- Romance is forced. "They both like animals. Let's get married!".
- Movie is about 30 minutes too long.
