Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga (2020)
From a fan of Eurovision....very disappointing
I was very excited to see this movie, because as an European, I grew up watching Eurovision and get excited for the show every year. Of course this year, with the lack of the show, this felt like it could be a fun thing to watch instead.
I was really disappointed with the lack of meaning to this movie. It's all kind of a joke and I can appreciate that to some degree. However, I didn't care about the characters at all. It was all just very...meh in the end. I also just don't get this kind of comedy, so maybe that's on me. It also weirdly didn't feel at all European. I know this is a Hollywood movie but, you'd think they would have made more effort to make it authentic and I don't know...have a point to it?
Allegiant (2016)
Pretty good, better than expected.
I didn't have very high expectations going into this, but I must say the movie kept me interested and engaged all the way through. As a fan of the first book, I thought the first movie was pretty decent and had potential, but after Insurgent being a very big disappointment, I didn't really expect to like this much.
However, the story is pretty gripping and the action is on point. Even though Tris is annoying at times, she is nowhere near as annoying as in Insurgent. I loved the character development of Caleb and Four, the relationships between the characters, as well as the new characters introduced in this movie.
Overall, it's a pretty good installment to the franchise if you loved the first movie.
Vampire Academy (2014)
A fun, raw portrayal of a wonderful book
As a huge fun of the book series, I've gone in to see the movie with high expectations. I love the story and the characters so I was beyond excited to finally see this adaptation. Is it a perfect movie? No. But it's raw and stays very true to the books. It's obvious that the movie didn't have a high budget like some of the other YA adaptations out there, so if you're looking for amazing visual effects, this isn't a movie for you. I actually think they did well considering. What truly spoke to me the most about it is that they kept so many scenes from the book untouched. As a fan I really appreciated that. I liked the dialogue, the humor wasn't too much. It was rushed at parts, but it didn't bother me. The cast was amazing. I loved Zoey as Rose, she was so much like Rose in the books. Danila was also perfect as Dimitri and their chemistry is very believable. Dominic as Christian also pleasantly surprised me. Overall it was a great adaptation and is a must see for every Vampire Academy fan out there.
