And there it goes. Avatar lost its winning streak to Channing Tatum’s Dear John this weekend
. Quite a feat if you ask me but Avatar had its peak and it was probably on the tail end anyway. Even so, Avatar still took in $23.6 Million this weekend. While Dear John took in $32.4 Million topping this weekend’s box office.
Glad to say I was one of the people who paid my $9.75 movie ticket this weekend to propel Dear John to a box-office smash.
Here’s my review. (spoiler here so do not click JUMP)
Although the preview was awesomely done, I thought that the story line could have been given more spunk if you know what I mean. The whole movie was kind of flat until the moment when John’s father was ill and he has returned from the war.
I must say however, that Channing Tatum’s acting was superb. It was mostly at the hospital scene where I saw myself getting affected by his acting. When the first teardrop fell from his right eye – I just had to go along with it. The moment was there.
Beyond that, I thought it could have been more. There was no play to the climax of the film. If there was, I totally missed it.
I cannot discount Amanda Seyfried’s acting abilities as well. Similarly however, there was only one scene where you see her shine. The rest was kind of bland.
I would still encourage you to see it. Maybe I was just tired and I didn’t get it. See it and let me know what you think.
