The Watch (I) (2012)
6/10
Poor plot but funny...
11 January 2019
"The Watch" is an Action - Comedy movie in which we watch four neighbors creating a group that they call it 'neighborhood watch' in order to catch a killer. Although the true reason why they created this group is to find a way to get out of their day-to-day family routines. As they continue searching for this killer they found out some very strange facts and in the end, they have to fight an alien invasion to save the Earth.

I liked this movie because I had very low expectations from it. This movie has a very poor plot, something that makes it a bit boring at the start but as it continues it gets more interesting. Regarding the direction which was made by Akiva Schaffer, I have to admit that there was no imagination of making something new and his direction wasn't that good. About the interpretations, I liked a lot the interpretation of Vince Vaughn who played as Bob and he was simply the best in this movie and Jonah Hill who played as Franklin made also a nice interpretation. Another interpretation that has to be mentioned was Richard Ayoade's who played as Jamarcus and he was equally good as Jonah Hill.

Finally, I have to say that "The Watch" isn't a bad movie but it lacks in many aspects such as direction and imagination to create something new that will surprise the audience and will make the movie more interesting. I don't recommend this movie to anyone because there a lot of other comedy movies which are funnier and far better than this, and because I believe that if you watch this movie you are going to be disappointed.
