Review of The Giver

9 years, 7 months ago at Aug 21 20:32
Frustration, thy name is The Giver. Based off of Lois Lowry's book of the same name - which I should add that I have read several times - The Giver has plagued us with terrible marketing and bizarre casting long before its release. I sat in my chair, waiting for the movie to start with intense dread. With so much love for the source material, how could I possibly enjoy this movie that was suppo... read more

Brenton Thwaites is really making a name for himself in the film industry having only just started making films in 2013 (at least in my books). I also think the cast is a pretty good selection, although, I haven't read the book to actually confirm that the choices are spot on. I do think it's weird that Taylor Swift is in this, but I think everyone deserves a shot to try something different. I adm... read more

At the beginning it looks like a cheap copy of "Divergent". The purpose of the movie is good, but its development... not so well. Maybe because the main character is a teenager with concerns like "finding his first love" the movie has a childish and superficial touch.

" Director: Philip Noyce His 19th Movie My 8th movie watched from the director. One of my favorite books in my childhood will obviously have high expectations if turned into a movie. Well, it did not meet those expectations. It is a film that seemed to have high hopes and didn't hit the marks in most ways. There are fine performances here, most notably from Jeff Bridges, and includes a surprise visit from Taylor Swift. As with most young adult book adaptations, everything seemed rushed "

The future kind of sucks. (425 movies items)

"Reason for the future sucking: Imagine, a world where there is no pain, suffering, war, choices or differences. Now, imagine finding out, that life truly does suck. Year it takes place: Unknownish Pleasantvillish future year, something or other."
