Film Reviews by JL

Managed (just about) to watch entire movie and found the whole thing a bit of an over indulgent mess, it has a few good ideas but if depressing and at the same time boring the watcher was the intention then it succeeded. I can almost see why it has received some good reviews but I still think it was a bit mean spirited and disturbing in places just for the sake of it. I think the whole thing was supposed to enigmatic and hoping to be a cult movie but not for me.

Russell Crowe as a scowling Noah, Anthony Hopkins living in a cave on top of a mountain and some stone creature refugees from the Lord of Rings films made for a not very enjoyable film. Left me a bit baffled!

I had already read the book to this film before i saw the film and with most films that are based on a book are not very good. I thought they were going to ruin but i was so wrong. it made me laugh, cry and bring a smile to my face throughout the film.But i would recommend bringing a box of tissues!
