Mike's Review: Going into this movie I really didn't know the premise behind it. I thought it was more of a time travel type of movie with a side of science fiction thrown in because it spanned over 100 years. As it turned out it was more of a Angel's versus Demon's type of movie.
All in all the story was pretty well told, although a bit confusing in the beginning because you didn't really know what was going on, but if you can make it through the first twenty to thirty minutes the story develops a little more and the pieces start to fit together and make sense.
For me this was really not my type of movie. I try to avoid the sappy sad movies and go for more of the action comedy type of movies. This movie was pretty sad I thought and I don't think it had a single big explosion in it, but it was still worth seeing at least once.
Best Scene: The ice fight scene.
Mike's Rating: Matinee..
Bean's Review: Quite an unique and gripping “love” story.
Colin Farrell plays an immigrant, Peter Lake, who is destined to save
the life of a particular red-headed female. This movie is different in
that angels and demons are mostly controlling the
outcome of events. One particular demon, played very demonically, by
Russell Crowe, is bent on destroying Peter before he can realize his
destiny. Cast against type, Will Smith, does a great job of playing,
the demon “judge”, a/k/a the devil.
Peter’s love, played by Jessica Brown Findlay,
I see as an “angel”. The interaction between Farrell and Findlay is
very convincing.
It was very interesting to see how the “correct” red-headed female was found by Peter.
Although sad, in that death and separation happened to those too young, it was a good movie.
Best Scene: When the “white” horse first appeared to save Peter.
Bean's Rating: Full price ticket – would see it again.
