And yes, her next role is pretty crucial to where her career goes. Don't think it helped her that she was something like the seventh actress to be offered the PRIDE & PREJUDICE & ZOMBIES lead.<br /><br />Dan - Was definitely unconvinced by Reynolds during the action but yes, for better or worse, he can certainly pull off being a bit of an arse with a sense of humour.Sam Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05696602364349746693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685634083080876125.post-83002253852024688622011-12-02T15:09:06.060+00:002011-12-02T15:09:06.060+00:00In an attempt by the script to be both epic and sn...In an attempt by the script to be both epic and snarky, director Martin Campbell and actor Ryan Reynolds did the best they could with what they were given to work with. Although it could have been so much better, I still had a fun time.

She is good in The Town but I've never seen her as much an acting talent to take notice of, someone who could elevate thin material into something more than a caricature. Perhaps I'm being harsh.<br /><br />Here's hoping she'll shine in The SavagesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685634083080876125.post-18882370986019952832011-12-02T12:34:04.996+00:002011-12-02T12:34:04.996+00:00Confused over the negative Lively fuss or the posi...Confused over the negative Lively fuss or the positive? I think she was fine but suffered from the same problem as the rest of the film: she was just unremarkable. Thought she was very impressive in THE TOWN and was hoping for a bit more here.Sam Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05696602364349746693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685634083080876125.post-50232236404236132452011-12-02T12:31:31.722+00:002011-12-02T12:31:31.722+00:00Bland was the overwhelming feeling I had with this...Bland was the overwhelming feeling I had with this, made even worse by the fact that it is a very interesting universe and certainly very different from other comic properties (a galactic canvas). Not as bad as the reviews made it seem to be but it apes too many (better) comic book films. It lacks a strong identity I feel. I'm also still confused over the fuss about Blake Lively if there was a fuss in the first place.<br /><br />Also extremely disappointed by James Newton Howard's score, utterly forgettable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685634083080876125.post-11287792734898371922011-12-02T10:25:45.118+00:002011-12-02T10:25:45.118+00:00In a lot of ways I couldn't agree more.

It did a little more for me (otherwise it would have been in solid 2* territory) and seeing the character come to life on the big screen was a joy but there's so little to remember fondly afterwards.Sam Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05696602364349746693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685634083080876125.post-35716854790720562292011-12-02T10:21:11.820+00:002011-12-02T10:21:11.820+00:00Not horrendous but spectactularly unremarkable abs...Not horrendous but spectactularly unremarkable absolutely nails this films problem on the head. Like so many big budget films it just didn't deliver anything. I didn't hate it, but walked away from it amazed at its blandness. It really was a non-entity of a cinema visit!!BRENThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15953231992674091002noreply@blogger.com
