Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002)

Change one thing and...

[1/10 · 29 April 2022]

Take out Hayden Christensen from the movie and It becomes 10.

One of the worst actors in history with the ability to destroy any movie he plays in.

Not just a bad actor, but also so irritating that I will not watch anything he plays in.

The Hippopotamus (2017)

would have been 10 if it was closer to the novel

[10/10 · 4 August 2017]

Unfortunately, the movie is a far cry from the novel it is based on. The novel itself is pure genius. That said, The Hippopotamus is still an entertaining movie. Witty British humor combined with a clever plot, amusing characters top with a superb performance by the leading actor Roger Allam. I highly recommend this movie, but do yourself a favor and read the book, or better yet, listen to the Audiobook narrated by Stephan Fry himself - pure enjoyment. If your intellect is a little above an average movie that does not make a sense if you can understand humor and not just silly jokes, then you'll enjoy this movie.
