Mini Movie Reviews!

Blogmas Day 9

So I've seen quite a few films recently and I thought it would be nice to do some mini reviews, instead of boring people with full on lengthy reviews. I went to see these two films on the same day so I thought it was appropriate to put them together. I hope you enjoy!

Film- Spectre
Franchise- James Bond
Director- Sam Mendes
My rating- 5 stars

Worth the watch? If you are a James Bond fan or enjoy these films, then it is definitely worth going to see.
After seeing quite a few mixed reviews on this film, I was hesitant going into the cinema to see it, but also extremely excited because I love Bond. This film was an absolute thrill ride! Maybe structurally it could have been improved, but entertainment wise I was extremely impressed. The plot line was highly enjoyable, along with some classic Bond humour and nostalgia. Is this my favourite of Daniel Craig's Bond films? Maybe. Its up there with Casino Royale for me. 

Film- Paper Towns
Director- Jake Schreier
My rating- 4 stars

Worth the watch? I would say yes, definitely if you enjoyed the book.
I read Paper Towns about two years ago after I fell in love with The Fault in Our Stars. I have to say that I did not really enjoy the book that much, maybe it just wasn't my thing. The whole way through reading the book, all I could think was 'this would translate so well into a film'. Its true, I think I enjoyed the film experience to the book experience, which is something that never normally happens. This film was funny and relateable, overall it was a great watch. But compared to other films I've seen recently, it just didn't quite hit the 5 star mark for me. But its definitely a good film, I laughed out loud on a couple of occasions.


So those are my mini film reviews. I absolutely love film and therefore find talking about it really fun, so I will definitely be doing some more mini reviews in future! I hope you enjoyed this post and I will see you tomorrow for another day of Blogmas,
