So as we all know the Host recently came out as a movie... And I just wanted to share my thoughts about the crapness of the precious hours I've spent watching the horrible movie.
I cannot be
the only one thinking that turning The Host by Stephenie Meyer into a movie was
a big mistake. Right? I mean come one. Right…
I
loved/liked the book, I thought it was a really good idea and I just liked it
and I was gaining faith in Stephenie’s writing… Look at my review of the book
here.
For
starters, what is up with Saoirse Ronan (Plays Melanie/Wanda) in this movie…
She looks like she’s about 12… Why was she picked to play this role? I have
nothing against her personally but she isn’t the Mel that I’ve pictured. And
her acting here is a little bit weird. Reminded me of Kristen Steward with her
awkward stances, her posture, and the way she was acting around other people.
Just no. Go be awkward somewhere else!
From the
beginning I knew that this was going to be poop. The book itself is long and
many things happen that need to be included for the story to make sense.
Everything was rushed and too many things missing. Wanda didn’t make a
connection with neither Ian nor Jamie which is key, without a connection to
them she wouldn’t be there she’d be dead somewhere. There was no hate for Wanda
not even from Kyle who was meant to be trying to kill her every chance he got
but nope just one little I’m-going-to-kill-you scene. The one thing that I was
happy with was the part where Wanda loses Mel in her head for three days. I
would have flipped if this wasn’t in there or they somehow ruined this for me.
That was one of my favourite bits in the book- although I feel bad for Ian the
poor guy had to watch the girl he was falling in love with kiss the dude that
the girl inside the girl was in love with. Erm yeah.
At least Max
Irons and Jake Abel are hot. I guess that is a plus right? I mean imagine if
they looked like trolls.
I don’t
understand why there was such a hype and need for this to be a movie… Is it
because of Twilight? Or did they just want to ruin the book for everyone?
The whole
movie was just ugh. I don’t see how Wanda was played by Emily Browning at the
very end… She is not someone that I would have picked to play her! At all, just
no. Pick someone more Wanda like.
I still
can’t get over how terrible the movie was! Too much stuff was missing, too many
things were wrong, too many annoying bits. Another thing that annoyed me… The
relationship with Wanda and Mel. Mel hates her and tells her so and within a
minute she loves her and are sisters. Where was the bonding?! Who wrote the
script for the movie like seriously. Do they not know that bonds need to be
formed before you’re ready to go sacrifice yourself else?
Like
seriously. What. Did. I. Watch.
Holy Mary
and the donkey that carried her to Bethlehem I cannot believe I waited for this
movie! I was so excited during the book to find out how they did some of my
favourite scenes and they mucked all it up!
The movie was meant to be chocolate chip ice cream but instead we got mud covered in crap.
It gets a star because of Max and Jake... No other reason!
