November Move Reviews


So it is a late post and the most boring as it is only about movies yet again as you already know I am a movie nerd. The cinema in November was great and had a lot of hopeful movies coming out. Yet again the unlimited card came in handy and I was able to use it four times this month.

Hunger Games - 8/10. This is the first half to the end book of the trilogy called Mockingjay. I have kept up with the Hunger Games since they first came out and I was excited for this one expecting good fight scenes and a lot of Peeta and Gale. I got what I wanted and saw a lot of them both. The storyline was great and sorry everybody but I have not read the books so it is all new for me. Katniss is stuck in District 13 trying to fight against the Capitol and to save Peeta. There was a lot of romance and sad scenes but all made you feel as if you were really there.

The Drop - 7/10. I thought this movie was great. I had never seen Tom Hardy in a movie before but heard a lot about him. I was impressed by his acting I thought he done his character perfectly and It was a gripping movie which kept me glued to the screen. It was about people dropping money into the bar and money goes missing which Tom Hardy has to get back. It is not as predictable as you think and there are shocks and surprises around every corner.

Nightcrawler - 6/10. I was quite excited about this movie I felt from the trailers it was going to be great but I was a little let down when I actually saw it. I do love Jake Gyllenhaal and think his acting is superb in all of his movies that I have seen to date. I do not doubt his acting in this at all he acted the character great and had me feeling what he felt. The only problem I had with it is that the trailer showed a different movie plot to what I thought it was and it wasn't all as thrilling as it was made out to be. It was actually a little dull and the story was dragged out for too long with not really much going on. You know that Louis (Jake Gyllenhaal) is a complete psycho within the first couple of minutes and can predict the movie straight away.

The Imitation Game - 8/10. I was against seeing this movie when it was recommended to me and I actually went with my fiance (Harry) as we have to compromise on the movies we see together he chose this one. When I came out of the screening I was actually in shock at how much I loved the movie and enjoyed it so much. I get more into the movie knowing it was a true story and all about Alan Turing who actually made this amazing machine. It was so interesting and had me questioning so many things. I feel the movie was a complete success with great acting from Benedict Cumberbatch.

Out of all of the above I would say the number one movie to see would be The Imitation Game as it is for the teenage and older generation with great acting and a great insight into what was really happening during that period of time.
