Tomorrowland review

Tomorrowland is the newest movie by Disney and the one question that comes to mind: Is this gonna be the same stupid, generic and predictable shit that we always end up watching?

Brad Bird is a fantastic director, it doesn´t matter if it´s an action movie or an animated feature, he always delivers. And with this movie is no different, is quiet good camera work. The visual effects are great and there´s some masterful shots in this film, thanks to Bird.

The concept is interesting and the story develops itself well enough but is very predictable and I really didn´t like the ending, plus , there were some scenes that I just couldn´t take seriously and I spent the first hour of the movie laughing my ass off. I laughed more with scenes that weren´t suppossed to be funny than the ones that were, still the humour works good. I cannot remember a thing from the soundtrack.

What really works in this movie are the characters and the performances. You get really attached to the main three characters and they had a lot of chemistry together. The performances were great as well: this is probably Clooney´s best work since "The Ides of March", Raffey Cassidy is an amazing revelation and Britt robertson was just the perfect choice for the role.

Verdict: it´s not a fantastict movie but is better than most of Disney´s this days and it has enough good things to be worth watching, is very entertaining. I give it a 6.8 out 10.

Top 11: actors who should be on True Detective (part 2)

Daniel Day- Lewis: he´s an obsesive- methodical actor and a three times Oscar winner. He hasn´t made a movie since Lincoln (2012) and this would be a nice comeback.


Bryan Cranston/ Aaron Paul: after Breaking Bad I think it´s more than clear that this are two of the most brilliant actors working today. I know it would be kind of distracting but... tell me you don´t want to watch Walter and Jesse solving crimes together.


Jake Gylenhaal : he is in my opinion one of the best actors of all time and he´s only 34. Plus, he´s another experienced detective and is almost as methodical as Daniel up there.


Joaquin Phoenix: It doesn´t matter if he´s playing a nerdie guy who falls in love with his phone, the country music legend Johnny Cash or a psychotic and alchoholic ex-soldier. I mean, have you seen "The Master"?. This guy can fucking act.


 Edward Norton: he is probably my favorite actor of all time and there´s no one that I would like to see more on the show.
