As promise, this is the review of Journey 2: The Mysterious Island.
Casts: The Rock (Dwayne Johnson), Josh Hutcherson (from the first movie), Vanessa Hudgens, Luiz Guzman and Michael Caine. These are the main stars.
Storyline: Basically this story is set years ahead of the first story. The spark for this story is based on the Jules Verne story The mysterious Island. The kid, Sean is trying to locate his grandfather thought to have been lost at the island. Once reaching the island, they face many adventures as well as mending relationships along the way.
Verdict: Didn't love it Didn't hate it either. So-so.
Reasons:
- The story line for me is not that strong. It is not that memorable nor hateful.
- The Rock acting as a loving and concern father figure to Sean is a bit stiff. He is soo big in the movie that it is scary seeing him smiling at you through the big screen. I like him more as that hardcore kick ass action star. One of his performance that I prefer is in Fast and the Furious 5: Rio Heist. I like him in that. Probably need to improve on the acting a bit. Action hands down, I'll choose The Rock. XD
- There were quite some cheesy moments in this movie that for me really make me go...UGHH!!!
- The CG in this movie is quite awesome I have to say. They did a great job on the special effects.
- Lastly, the only thing that I think make this movie worth watching till the end is the character Gabato (Luiz Guzman). He is really funny in the movie. Almost every appearance he makes made me laugh my guts out. If I would promote you to watch this movie, my only reason would be to watch LUIZ GUZMAN'S performance.
I guess that's all for now. A simple review for a simple movie. Adiosa Samosa!!!
