Topic: Reviews: The Perfect Storm Forum: JoBlo

I actually quite enjoyed The Perfect Storm, I thought it was very entertaining. So, why the average rating? Well, I’ll tell you. Obviously the film has gone wrong somewhere, and in its character development is where. Families of the victims of this natural disaster are actually trying to sue the Film Company that made The Perfect Storm. I can see why. The movie’s characters are actually underdeveloped and while they’re out on the ship they don’t seem extremely likeable and to tell you the truth, they look a bit unprofessional out on the boat. I don’t know if this is due to bad acting or bad writing, but it seems that way and it has effected relatives of the natural disaster to go very far so obviously The Perfect Storm is definitely not a perfect puppy. The film can also be a bit cheesy and it takes too long to get to the damn storm. Lets see some special effects, already! However, when the characters really get into the storm the audience gets just as terrified as the people must have been on the Andrea Gail. The CGI special effects are the most convincing of 2000 and I was amazed at how realistic the storm was. And you can’t write a review of The Perfect Storm without mentioning that awesome huge wave that we all saw in the trailer. Awesome stuff! Add to that great sound, some strong music and a terrifying time in the ocean and you have what could’ve been a modern great if the characters were better developed and the corn was just cut down a little. THE PERFECT STORM: 6/10
