Short Movie Review: Now You See Me

I had been waiting to watch this movie ever since the first trailer was shown on T.V. I wasn't entirely disappointed by the movie or directing, mostly by the plot. The start of the movie was very intriguing, as was most of the movie. I found it very unique that they went into depth about how each of the magnificent magic tricks had actually been done, and how it was all made by the work of an illusion.

Now You See Me wasn't everything I hoped and expected it to be. I bought my ticket thinking I was about to walk into a movie that would blow my mind away, but it was quite the opposite, as I left the screening confused and wondering what the plot and point of the movie actually was. At certain points of the movie I was at the edge of my seat and at fathers I was nearly in tears, however the ending let it all down for me. I would rate this movie a 3.5/4 star. The reason could possibly be that I had my standards for Now You See Me unrealistically high, but however unrealistic they may have been, they were not fulfilled.

Short Movie Review: The Internship

I wasn't very keen on watching this movie, I didn't hear any comment about the movie, saying it was good or a must see, so I was worried about wasting time and money. Ironically I enjoyed the internship a lot more than a previous movie I waited a while to watch. 

Every scene in the movie contained a funny aspect to keep the audience entertained. I would rate this movie 5 stars because it met all the expectations of the funny, feel good comedy movie it was made to be. It seemed that directors had more than one trick up their sleeve to entertain their audience. Each character had a completely different  personality, however they got past the differences in order to create a winning team. Each individual audience member usually picks a favourite out of the characters, and the majority are usually the same, however characters in The Internship were all lovable, which then made it impossible to pick favourites, I found this one of the best things about the movie. I left the cinema in a good mood and my first thought was that I needed to buy The Internship as soon as it came out. That is how you know that a movie was worth the watch. The Intrnship was one of the best movies I had watched and to me will remain a great memory.
