Looper was about Dystopian city in America where time-travel in the year 2047, and is used by crime bosses to eliminate those who the bosses choose to kill. "Loopers", which are assassins paid with silver bars strapped to the people that they kill. One the last encounter, Joe encounters his own "loop" and he ends up escaping and Joe must find his "future" self or his future is on the line.
This review was mostly about how Joesph Gordan-Levitt did not look anything like Bruce Willis and how the movie setup was smart. The movie then it went on to say about how the movie was good but confusing and how it went on to say that the movie was a good suspense thriller but it ended up becoming confusing. The tone was eccentric and exciting along with the point that maybe the movie would be worth watching but could get confusing and maybe at some point you might not want to watch it anymore. Overall the review shows, that its a suspense thriller and you can't wait to see what happens. The review focuses on mostly the plot and the characters. The plot because it doesn't really tell you much of what happens but it says that the way the city looks, is dingy and dirty and that the scenes that were shown might be realistic and might happen. The characters weren't very real. To say the least, the characters didn't look anything alike and they should choose actors that look alike.
This review started off to talk about Bruce Willis briefly and then started to state things about how the female actor in the movie Emily Blunt didn't get the right role in the movie. The whole tone of the review was negative and then it says that the movie was sexist and how they didn't show and give her the right roles. The structure was mostly how the movie built up about how the actors Bruce Willis and Joesph Gordon-Levitt looking nothing alike and then instead of a transition to the next paragraph it just jumps to how the reviewer did not think that Emily Blunt played the correct role in the movie. The other most definitely focused on the characters and the parts they played. He said that for the actor Joesph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis doesn't look anything alike and they would've gotten actors who do look alike.
"The first film in four years from "Brick" and "Brothers Bloom" writer-director Rian Johnson, "Looper" is a smart suspense movie" I like this movie a lot. Even though, the first time I saw it, I was a bit surprised and then it was like you were sitting on the edge of your sit waiting to see what happened. I haven't seen any other movies by this director before, but maybe the other movies he's had isn't as good as Looper but may be worth a shot watching.
"I found myself dreaming of the days when Willis would take a rest from Die Hard–ing to do character cameos of unexpected depth and pathos". This quote in itself was funny because I totally agree that Bruce Willis is trying to relive his Die Hard days but just not accomplishing that in this new movie. Maybe he should think about retiring, because to be quite honest he had only a little relevance in the film and the characters were so different, that I figured they could just be seen as opposite people instead of the same person.
This review would be more convincing to a reader or at least for me. The whole review is much more positive and it shows that the movie does have errors but still doesn't downgrade the movie from as it says its a "B-grade movie". The review was by far the best review about the movie that I've read. He doesn't talk the movie up to be the best movie, he points out the errors and what would've went wrong, but overall the review stated that it was a "suspense thriller" and "definitely worth taking a look at".
While writing a review for a movie, I would most definitely pay attention to how the plot and the characters worked together. Also, the conflicts and themes about how did that play a major role or only a small role. Did the movie make any sense, if not what could've went better or is the director well known or is this his first attempt to make a good movie. Were there the actors famous and well-known, if so did they act their best part or if not, are they any good at acting or are they a flop. And just overall, was the movie any good and worth seeing.
Good job with this. Nice work analyzing the substance of the reviews. Maybe a little more with the specifics. We're actually going to watch parts of "Brick," one of the films from this director.
