Unbroken

My Thoughts:

-    This was a good adaptation of the book, but the book, as usual, was so much better! The book was even more moving and even more powerful.

-    I wish the movie had gone into Louis's life after the war. His struggle with PTSD and overcoming it was amazing! 

-    This story is SO powerful, and I think the movie did a good job of portraying that. 

-    The cast was perfect! Wow! Louis, the bird, and everyone else were great!

-    The movie moved really fast, and I know they couldn't cram everything in, but I felt like it moved really fast. It was still good.

-    I felt like they toned a lot of things down, which I was grateful for. I think it is harder to watch certain things than it is to read it. I'm really glad they toned it down, and it still portrayed how brutal captivity was.

-    Great movie! I'm glad I got to see it. 

Maleficent

My Thoughts:

-    It was dark and bit creepy. I liked it a lot!

-    I'm not an Angelina Jolie fan, but I thought this was a perfect role for her. She looked the part, and I loved the way she delivered her lines. 

-    The story was intriguing. I really love anti-hero tales, and this one was no exception. I was pleasantly surprised by this movie.

-    The CG was good. I liked the scenery and creatures a lot. The fairy's faces were a little weird, but the rest was good.

-    I loved the scenes with Maleficent flying. I want wings!

-    I noticed a few Middle Earth people in the wood creatures. There was a balrog and Sauron. 

-    The kissing scene took FOREVER!! Phillip took his sweet time, and it was ugh!

-    I wish they had used Tchaikovsky's music in the film. It would have been awesome. 

-    Overall, I really enjoyed this movie. I'll probably buy it.
