Bonnie & Clyde (2013)
Pretty good... but could've been better
I found out about this movie the night before it premiered on a YouTube advertisement. I then watched bits and pieces of the first part on A&E. But I missed the second night, or the second part. I watched the whole miniseries on A&E's website.
Here's my thing on it: it was good, but it could've been plenty better. Although many would disagree, I think the acting was excellent. The actors and actresses (most of which I've never heard of before) did very well. I liked Lane (who played Buck) the best, but Emilie (who played Clyde) did an excellent job also.
A major con would be that it was inaccurate. I know it was made for our entertainment, but I would have expected Bonnie to be less of the boss and Clyde more of the boss.
Here's some pro's and cons I've listed. Pros: -Good acting -Good editing/special effects Cons: -Inaccurate
All in all, I think it deserves a 6/10 star. I would have also loved to see some "behind the scenes" footage.
Bonnie & Clyde: Justified (2013)
Are they serious? Too horrible to watch...
I had to laugh when I watched this, and in fact I did. The part at approx. 75:45 made me laugh the most. It looked like one of the show's producers Photoshopped the building (penitentary or castle?) into the scene. I also love the fake-looking flashes they too edited in.
Also, I believe Clyde always drove Ford's. Don't quote me on that, but I think that is how it was. The Roadster they were in in the beginning I don't believe was a Ford. Also, I believe the real B&C stole many cars, in the movie they only had two cars.
I also have to make note how half the movie is black and white movies. All the scenes were in the same dessert, including the "Indiana" scene. I just wonder where that $1,000,000 they had went.
All in all: the A&E version was 10 times better. I've never seen the 1967 version so I can't compare it with that one, but I'm sure the 1967 one was the best out of all of them.
Would I recommend this movie? Hill no! If you can, watch the 1967 version, or at least the A&E version, which I will also review.
