Elvis-Virtus

I saw this movie during it’s premiere and if you are consistently reading my blog, you know that i have been a fan of this movie for months now and this was my no.1 movie to watch this summer.

I have read the comic book prior to watching the movie and to give you some heads up, Mark Millar (author of the comic book) and the writers of the movie basically agreed on a plot to follow, this happened 2 years ago, so to make the story short, the comic book and the movie’s plot are the same, the only differences are that the ending is slightly off compared to the comic book, there are additional scenes in the movie so that you can understand the characters more and the a very key event of someone’s death because in the comics the death was quick and fast while in the movie it was slightly dramatic. Overall, both are the same but if i were to choose, i have to select the movie because it brought some overall completeness with the story.

I really like how they add some additional scenes that were not present in the comics because it made the audience understand the characters more and also like the character at the same time. The movie mostly stars up and comers except for Nicolas cage.  Aaron Johnson and Christopher Mintz-Plasse both did a good job in bringing their comic characters to life but for me Chloe Grace Moretz stole the show with her performance of Hit-Girl. You really wanted to cheer her on as she fought the bad guys and also her innocent look and explicit language is a dangerous chemistry that brought the audience laughing to their hearts content.

The only negative i can say with the movie is that it is very violent thus resulting for an R rating, which can hurt it’s box office success. I WANT A DAMN SEQUEL!! so please people, WATCH THIS MOVIE

PROS: Great Story, Improved version of the Comic Book, Great performance by the actors, Chloe Moretz stole the show!!, Worth the damn wait.

CONS: R-rated because of over the top violence, Sequel is still up in the air

Eijan Says: This movie rocks!! Definitely see it in the movie house, also grab the DVD/Blu-Ray once it comes out because it has 18 mins of additional footage. 

RATING: (Out of 5 stars)

That’s all for now

PEACE OUT!!
