First off, so sorry for running behind with the movie reviews. I have a loooong list of movies to get up on here. Going to try to get one up every few days until they are done. Some are newer movies and some not but I have found it doesn't matter when they come out.. a good movie is always fun to talk about..
Now, on to The Rum Diary.
This movie is based on the debut novel by Hunter S. Thompson. I love the setting. San Juan, Puerto Rico where Johnny Depp is a reporter. Like many reporters, he gets over involved in his story. But from the second he gets off the plane, he becomes a drunken mess. But even in his worst times on the movie.. he is dreamy to look at! =)
I mean its not easy to dislike any movie this man in. I normally really like journalism type movies but this one was just not a favorite of mine. I liked it but I didn't really care how it ended.. I thought the movie lacked a plot.
Johnny Depp fans might enjoy this one, but “The Rum Diary” just doesn’t have enough structure to satisfy general movie-lovers. I am both, a Depp fan and movie lover so I watched and enjoyed most of the movie. The ending was just blah..
Over all I would give this movie a
C
I think any movie Johnny Depp is in is worthily of a C!! I'm glad this movie is at the redbox now for a $1.00 because its really not worth paying anything more.
Here's the trailer.
Let me know if you agree with this review or not!?
