Awesome sountrack (0 more)

Same plot as other films of the time. (0 more)

Deserves more appreciation

If you haven't watched it because it's the same plot as Doctor Horrible or Despicable Me, then please do yourself a favour and watch it anyway. I did that mistake first and really enjoyed the film. If you've seen it when it came out and thought it as bad, then please watch it again with the view point of today's issues.

It surprisingly has a clear message about the superhero genre getting exhausted, criticises the objectification of women as trophies and how the fedora, good guy type of attitude can end up really harmful to friendships and relationships.
Plus it's got an awesome soundtrack and really funny moments. It's so much better than people give credit for.

Keira Knightley - the part is her. (2 more)

James McAvoy - he is without doubt one of the best actors of today.

Saoirse Ronan - she really made me hate her character.

Warning in full description.

First time I've ever watched this tonight. Now, even normally I cry at this kind of film but I'm 5 months pregnant.
DO NOT MAKE THIS MISTAKE- AVOID WHILST PREGNANT. I was an absolute snivelling, blubbering mess. It really does hurt your heart to watch, it's also different than most stories you'll see regarding the ending. (I hope, if you've seen it, that makes sense 😊)
Definitely a tear jerker, has its lovely moments but mostly really sad.

Deborah (162 KP) rated Fallen in Books

Dec 21, 2018

I really enjoyed both The Liars Club series and The Royal Four by Celeste Bradley, but Fallen for me wasn't quite up to the same standard. This was her first book, so maybe my expectations were too high from her later work? I missed the humour most especially. I also found that Fallen was very much more a charater driven books without a huge amount of plot going on.

The heroine, Izzy, wakes up suddenly one night to find the hero in her bed! It's a mistake, but of course in the eyes of the Ton she is a ruined woman, unless he marries her. I liked both Izzy and Julian, but there wasn't enough there to make this a truly great example of the genre. It's still a pleasant read, but Bradley's other books are better in my opinion.
