There has been awhile since I last reviewed a film. So I decided that I wanted to talk about this particular one which me and my father watched only a few days ago. 

 

I can start off by saying that I had heard only good things about the book, so when my dad came home with the film, a film I actually had no idea even existed, I was quite excited. Despite not entirely knowing what it was about. 

 

Sadly, the film didn't live up to my expectations. It looked cool, I enjoyed the feeling it had to it and I enjoyed the humour and story.. but it was so filled with plotholes that it was unable to actually show a finished story. A lot of things were ignored and left without any explaination and it was actually a huge dissapointment to me. 

 

This film looked to me like it could've been great. Considering the positive things I mentioned it could've been a film I would've loved. In some ways it reminded me of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and that is a very positive thing for me. 

 

The title screen and music made me extremely excited and it felt like it was going to be a great experience.. which is probably why the faults were such a huge dissapointment. I can't say that it was good, and I'm very sad to say so. I do hope they make a remake following the same touches, but having a fuller story, because it could be amazing. 

 

2/10 - (because the music was awesome)
