Sarah (7800 KP) rated Allied (2016) in Movies

2016 | Drama, Romance, War
I wasnt the slightest bit surprised after watching this to find out it was a Robert Zemeckis film. It centres far too much on the romance side and is very lacking in tension, action or suspense. The acting is good but nothing special, and I just found the whole thing a little boring. Could be due to expecting a spy film rather a romantic WWII drama.

Helm's Deep battle scenes are epic (0 more)
Both Frodo and Gollum are irritating (0 more)
Great battle scenes, but certain characters let the film down
While The Two Towers feels a bit more darker than The Fellowship, there are elements which I found generally annoying such as Frodo's flailing character, the ridiculously boring Ents and Gollum in general. However the battle for Helm's Deep is well crafted and absolutely epic.

All time favorite
One of the best revenge stories ever written. I've read a lot of books, both modern and classics, but this one will always be my favorite.
One thing I thought would bother me are the Christian undertones throughout due to being an atheist, but though it was at times very religious, I never found it distracting even after having read it 6 times.
  
This was the kind of book that should be flipped through. Acoffee-table book, a book given to a history buff, a book to read to yourself. I found the audiobook boring and dry, and hard to focus on. Not all books are good for audio. This isn’t a reflection of the book, more the fact that it didn’t make a good audio production.

This book sounded so good! I'm a stage performer so I was really excited to get it. However, upon beginning the book I found it difficult to get into the story, and there was barely any tension to keep me reading. It felt very distant. I have no urge to continue. And I have learned not to waste time on books I have no urge to read.

As a previous user of iPhones, I was always disappointed over the lack of storage and was sceptical about changing over to samsung however I was pleasantly surprised. Once I moved over I found I could expand the memory using a micro sd card and install a lot more apps from other sources.

This is the third in the series and I found this one to be much more in depth emotionally than the other books. You learn Karas past and what makes her what she is today. It's a roller coaster and you are surprised by how well SM Boyce created this whole new world. If you haven't started the series by now what are you waiting for?

Good casting (1 more)
Good music
Just a bit contrived (0 more)
Unfortunately I read the book before watching, so it does colour my perception. On its own the movie is good, a little ‘fluffy’ in places and a little contrived in others. The dynamics I found fascinating in the book are missing in the movie. That said, the casting is good, cgi is amazing and the music perfect,

this was a good read, I found it a bit slow in the middle but other than that it was good. the story line and characters were well written and the ending fantastic. I loved how each chapter was a different character it made the story flow, I will be defiantly reading more by this author
