The Lost City - Yay or Nay?

in #hive-121744yesterday

Sandra Bullock, Channing Tatum, Daniel Radcliffe, and Brad Pitt; I believe this name is enough to attract any movie lover of the genre to watch this film.

The truth is the rating would say otherwise!

It got a 6.1/10IMDb rating, although Google is showing 79% Rotten Tomatoes. Personally, I would go with the IMDb rating.

Before explaining my reason for not giving this movie a 'groundbreaking' review let me give you a glimpse of the plot.



Sandra Bullock is the novelist whose book cover model was Channing Tatum. And Daniel was the kidnapper who wanted the information about the 'Hidden City' that was mentioned in Sandra Bullock's book. Pitt was kind of in a guest appearance.

The movie was full of comedy, some action, a little bit of romance; a mixture of everything.

It's the kind of movie that you would love to watch with your friend group. It's time passes, you may not gonna watch it again, and will not remember much about it after a few months. There's nothing significant and breathtaking about this film.

But wait, don't be disappointed reading all the negative things about the movie. There are some things that you might like.

I like the comedic scenes the most. The jungle and hidden place were visually good. Pitt added a good humor/fun to the film but you have to wait hours for it. The adventure and action were also good.

I didn't like the chemistry between Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum!

Can I say that out loud here? When I confessed it to my friends, they said; as I have a crush on Tatum that's why I didn't like them together. But to be honest that's not the case. Their chemistry kind of feels off, doesn't go well, and doesn't seem great on the screen.


Another thing is the plot, it's too predictable like the teen movies where you already know what's going to happen, and there is no suspense.

Watch the trailer and you will understand why I'm saying this. Even the trailer has no suspense and kind of shows the whole story!


However, I have to give 8 or at least 7.5 to the actors. They did pretty well, and because of their acting skill, this cliche plot pulled up.

Probably because I was expecting too much and that's why got disappointed. But if you watch this just for entertainment, like when you are having your dinner or being with friends; this can be a perfect pick because it's easy to watch. Or probably it's me that doesn't like it!


Did you watch the movie? Would you watch this movie after reading my honest review?
