Savages (2012)
A waste of time
The cinematography was pretty good, as expected from the director who made Natural Born Killers and Platoon but how did they end up casting these three leads who are attractive but doesn't know how to act! I discovered from this film that Blake Lively is such a terrible actress- she doesn't even know how to cry! her narration is terrible and so is the material she delivered. Aaron Johnson and Taylor Kitsch's performances were equally sleazy. There were explosions and gore but the script, the narration and the plot wasted production and talents such as Benicio del Toro and Salma Hayek. The running time is also as annoying as the lead characters- it was too long! They should've trim it down, remove all the unnecessary scenes so the viewers didn't need to suffer that long.
Rurôni Kenshin: Meiji kenkaku roman tan (2012)
An OK movie, Sato's performance is commendable
I've watched a couple of episodes of Samurai X when I was a kid so I basically had an idea what was it all about, not exactly a fan, but I enjoyed watching some of it.The cinematography was decent, Takeru Sato was excellent in portraying Kenshin Himura but other than that, I can't remember any other brilliant aspect of this film. Kenshin's personality is some sort of humorous but there are certain parts of the film that just made me asked if its meant to be funny or was it just plain futility. The plot isn't convenient for those people who doesn't have an idea what Samurai X is. Yes they've explained how he got his scar but there are a lot of things missing in the plot for you to have a connection with it. The fight scenes were fun but not gripping and satisfying enough. Completely predictable.
