Movie Review: Zero Dark Thirty

Everyone's just talking about the torture scenes in this movie and how their terrible and how they some what make the movie worse.
The truth is that the torture scenes aren't that bad and they definitely do not make the movie worse!
This movie is based on the REAL hunt for Bin Laden supposedly!
And it's a big part of this movie so if you take it out than it's like putting a unicorn in instead of Jessica Chastain.
And also, why the heck is this movie named Zero Dark Thirty?

Rating: R
Time: 157 min
Stars: Jessica Chastain, Joel Edgerton

Joel Edgerton really isn't in the movie for that long.
He's one of the guys who invades Bin Laden's house but other then that nothing.
And can I just bring up the fact that this movie was being made before the raid actually happened.
I mean so many people have been wondering this question that I've been wondering too.
And that question is "What would the movie ended like if the raid never happened?"
And would it have been as good?
Personally I think that if the raid never happened the movie would have been boring with an unsatisfying ending.
I also think that it would also not be nominated for best film at the Oscars.
But right now that doesn't matter because the raid fortunately did happen and now we got a good movie!
(BTW I kind of feel weird talking about the raid and Bin Laden like this caring only about the movie, but the truth is that this is a blog where I review movies so that's pretty much what I'm doing and what I have to do.)
So the plot in this movie is that following this woman named Maya played by Jessica Chastain and she's basically looking for Bin Laden.
So what worked in the movie?
THE ACTING!
Especially Jessica Chastain!
The acting in the movie was excellent with everyone staying and character and giving a performance that was so amazing!
Also the plot itself!
It's simple but complicated at the same time!
What I mean is that the plot is to find Bin Laden but it's not that easy!
There are some things that Chastain and the other people have to do get to that point.
If you stay on track, you'll understand and get through the movie in a much better mood.
Also what worked was the score!
It wasn't like a score that was too flashy like other movies (Broken City) and it wasn't like a score that was all dancy that I'll probably go home and buy it on iTunes.
It was perfect for the mood and the situation.
In the last scene of the movie during the raid the score is so well because it's not even there.
All you hear are the pitter-patter of the men's feet and it makes the moment so much better!
And that brings me to my next point, the last scene in this movie was amazing!
The silence is great and it's just so intense and great!
So what did not work?
This movie is long!
In real life it's only a minute shorter then Les Miserables.
But even though it's faster paced then it, it is still pretty slow in some moments.
When Chastain is just sitting at her desk or she's in an office it can get pretty boring!
And also this movie can get a little too goofy for the situation that it's in.
I mean it's not that goofy, but when you're making a movie about this situation then barely goofy turns to be extremely goofy.
And in some moments this movie may feel a little unbelievable.
It makes me question how much of the movie is actually true and how much of it's made-up for the entertainment of the audience.
Anyways if you can stand a movie about a strong reality like this then this movie is a must see.
Score=8.0

Peoples Top 10 Worst Movies of 2012

#7 Snow White and the Huntsman

This movie was so bad that it was worse than the kiddy Snow White!

And truthfully I like how Kristen Stewart tried a new role.

But she just brought her sad same vampire side with her.

#6 A Thousand Words

Eddie Murphy keeps on getting worse and worse!

The characters and comedy in this movie are terrible.

This movie also has the #1 worst ending I have ever seen in my entire life.

#5 The Hunger Games

I hated the book and I hate the movie!

The whole idea of the Hunger Games is just so dumb and absolutely terrible.

BTW if you make a movie with a whole bunch of kids killing each other, then don't make the kills look like they're coming from SpongeBob.
