User review:
This is one of those movies ,where nothing special is happening and then there’s that one scene where your jaws drop lol.. and you’re like WOW did i really saw what i just saw? Amazing how in those days people were more free and less judging then now , it’s almost like we are going backwards rather then forward with being more free. That special part of the movie ,in my eyes in that one little thing people always seem to somehow forget, that no matter how cute and adorable or innocent your or who’s ever child may look , when they come to they age, they aren’t really much different then you (the adult). It’s hard to accept that fact ,but that’s the way it is. Yes, one could say ,well they could have made that part be less obvious, we’d still get it, .. yes true, they could have, but as then and specially now, there are so many disgusting murders and whatnot in today’s movies, but somehow that is accepted and normal ,even when your 8yo is watching it, you don’t mind it? Just think about it.. what is more normal to see or know about , that movie part or butchering movies. I loved the JMJ soundtracks in it ,and also that aerial part where you can see Stockholm from the choppa together with JMJ’s music is a perfect fit! As far as acting goes, well.. i’ve seen better but it’s a pass. As far as the plot goes, i’d do it differently some parts of the movie were too fast , and needed to be more slow, while others that were slow, could have been more faster.
