Write to live, live to write.


AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY Sunday, June 1, 2008


Ok, so I know the title isn't the most spectacular ever...but that's out of point.

The point is, I've watched two of the biggest blockbusters this year in two weeks. And its totally deja vu.

You see, for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull [Let's just call it IJ. No offence if I've offended your CCA, Eme!] I went to the theatre at Suntec City, Hall 3, Row G, on Saturday night, 7.30.

For Prince Caspian [PC] I went to Suntec City, Hall 3, Row G, on Saturday Night, 7.30. One week later, of course. What's amazing is that when I walked in, again we were the first to get there. The same music was playing. When the ads started, they were almost exactly the same ads that we had watched for IJ.

Amazing, isn't it?

Anyway. Now I'm going to discuss and compare the movies.

When the movies started, the deja vu obviously stopped. The movies were very different, although they had their similarities [i.e. fast paced, action packed, plenty of jokes and wisecracks...hey! That rhymes! Sort of, anyway...]. I'd have to say IJ is better, though. No, not because of the plot. No, not because of the lack of action. No, not because of the CGI or directing.

It's because of the acting.

I mean, the other characters were all fine and dandy and believable, but one wouldn't expect the titular character to be so wooden. Unfortunately for this case it is. Prince Caspian. Ben Barnes. Whatever. I can't believe his acting is so, well, unbelievable. You could say it's unbelievable his acting is unbelievably unbelivabl...never mind. What it all boils down to is that Prince Caspian's acting sucks. And he has this funny accent as well. I mean, all the Telmarines can speak perfect English, so why can't he?

But of course, IJ has its downs too. There're a bit too many bloopers. Like the famous bottle scene. When Mutt jumps up and threatens Indy in the cafe, he knocks the bottles over. In the next shot, you can see the bottles are upright again. Then in the next shot, Mutt sits down and you can see Indy setting up the fallen bottles.

Too many bloopers.

But I think acting is more important than bloopers, isn't it? So that's why I'm giving PC a 4 star rating and IJ a 4 1/2 star rating. Upon 5, of course. What did you think it was upon? 10?

Oh, and by the way, this is my bros com, so no picture. How sad.
