The Giver

My Thoughts:

-    I finally watched this and I was very disappointed.

-    I liked how color was introduced. That was cool.

-    Jeff Bridges gave a great performance as the giver. I was a little skeptical about him in the role, but he did good. 

-    Some of those memory frame rates were pretty crappy.

-    I hate how Jonas was able to give memories to Gabe! It bugged me SO bad! Once you give those memories away, you don't have them anymore! Idiot!

-    I like how they called an elephant a hippo. That made me laugh.

-    The jump off the edge was SO dumb! The whole ending just dragged, and it was WAY too long. I felt like it would never end. It was dumb!

-    They strayed so far from the book. The subtly that made the book wondrous and beautiful was taken away. Instead the movie was intensified and more dramatic. I hated that!

-    The characters were good, but they strayed from the feeling and essence of the book/story. 

Batman Begins

My Thoughts:

-    This is a great movie!  It isn't entirely accurate, but I enjoy it!  I think they captured the essence of Batman.

-    Christian Bale is a really good Batman, but the 90s animated Batman will always be the best one!

-    I LOVE LOVE LOVE Michael Caine as Alfred!!

-    They cast Jim Gordon perfectly as well!  

-    The action sequences are a lot of fun to watch, and they keep you on edge!  It makes me want to play Batman: Arkham Asylum.

-    I think Liam Neeson did a fantastic job, as usual, but I don't like him as a bad guy.  He is too awesome to hate.  I think Ken Watanabe should have been the real Ra's Al Ghul.  

-    Some of the dialogue is a just great!  The banter between Bruce and Alfred and Fox makes me laugh!  There are very fun quotable lines int his movie!

-    Batman has this "no kill" rule, and he doesn't break it, but he sure bends it a lot!

-    In a nutshell, the casting was amazing, the story is great, the action is great.  It is a fun movie!

Hubby's Thought:

-    Tyson's dad could play Jim Gordon.

Tyson's Thoughts:

-    I did notice that Batman destroys a lot of the city before saving it.

-    It needs a good lady, like Batgirl or Catwoman.
