Noah

This review may contain spoilers.

Anthony Hopkins got excited about berries in this film and that's all I care about. Noah for me was a 7.5/10.

Well this movie surprised me, I truly did not expect it to be good but it really was. Noah had a great story that was very enthralling and didn't feel like a movie made for religion. However it respected it's roots and I could appreciate that. The costuming in this looked good. The music was also great, very harrowing. But the visual look of the film was incredibly impressive, it had such a wide display of colours as well as effects.

Russell Crowe, who played Noah, did a consistently great job of portraying the strength and the agony of the character. Jennifer Connelly, who played Naameh, basically revived the second act; she had such fear and grief that it was astounding to watch. Anthony Hopkins, who played Methuselah, was just brilliant; cryptic and funny with such a great running gag. Emma Watson, who played Ila, was refreshing to watch and is a great stand out actress. My favourite of this film however was Ray Winstone, who played Tubal-cain, he had such malice to him yet there were moments where you couldn't help but feel sympathetic for him; I think a role like that would have been hard for any actor but Winstone pulled it off perfectly.

The movie started to drag a bit around the second half of the film and the plot itself got a bit tired at that point.So the story basically became full of conveniences and a change of tone that didn't feel entirely right.

Douglas Booth, who played Shem, had no screen presence and I did not become attached to his character in any way. Logan Lerman, who played Ham, was just plain terrible; I was utterly disappointed by the performance of Lerman he just didn't seem to grow as a character at all.
