Youth Review Fountain: Indiana John’s defeated

Director Jay Ricci exploded on the scene of cinema in 1998 with Frenetic “Lock, stocks, two smoking barrels,” We shake the bold dust, but the serious person who created the voice of the iconic young director and his tendency to the young masculine stories. Richie’s films are rarely elegant, and they seem only polished as it will allow its budgets. It tends to Font Flipant, with a firm paint, who were shooting with you as soon as possible to go on an adventure. Sherlock Holmes was less certain as a great man with his leg cave and membership in the fighting club. In “The Man from Uncle”, when Napoleon Solo (Henry Cavill) launched that he was anesthetized, he put an offer on a sofa, in order to ensure that his hair is not present; He knew what a drug I felt. Even the king of Richie Arthur (Charlie Honnam), in The super bomb, “King Arthur: the legend of the sword”, “ He had a beer, and announced the round table by saying, “It is a table. You are sitting on it.”

But when Richie directed a terrible new edition Disney “Aladdin”, he proved that all his instincts can swallow the director and company line. “Aladdin” could have been directed by anyone, as he presents his clear digital images and its flawless, with the Pat type, and the commercial efficiency that is usually dealt with by Brett Ratner or the Shun tax. Richie, in addition to being a lover of British smoke, was a obedient man, who was able to follow the studio notes and switch in cute but viewed films.

Richie is certainly in the last template with the “Youth Fountain”, which is a serious tear of the lost astronomy, which was presented without a hint of humor, self -awareness or paradox. “Fountain of Youth” is safe and predictable as movies come, trying to restore – with only appropriate success – a great Kabr tone of Spielberg early. The film lacks the wonder and excitement of Indiana Jones, but it is not just stupid like the “Da Vinci symbol”, and certainly less hateful than, “red notice”.

This, however, is the matrix on which this movie falls.

John Krasinski plays the role of Locke, a magical thief, air, who attracted enemies all over the world. While running from one of the enemy mentioned in the opening of the film in Bangkok, Locke extends from a wonderfully attractive interpol named Esme (Eiza González) and immediately form the relationship of Valjean/Javert, just with more sexual hair. Like everything in this movie, though, relationships are created through clear excerpts of dialogue, not any kind of real chemistry.

Locke then escapes to his sister Charlotte (Natalie Portman) who is in the middle of the chaotic divorce. Charlotte, as we mentioned above, uses a clear and contemplative dialogue to talk about it and Locke’s relationship with their dead father hunting treasures, and how Luke is an unacceptable criminal because of the father’s unnamed problems. The back story will be boring even if it is presented skillfully and in a manner, but the scenario (by “Zodiac” and “Sixth Screaming” escalates loudly with its emergence to the point that its cliché looks more clear. Miid.

Luke, Ali Lam, kidnapped Charlotte herself, creates her to join his band from Merenters, which includes Patrick (Laz Alonso), Deeb (Carmen Igogo), and his mysterious benefactor, billionaire that is billionaires that are cancer Owen (Dominal Gleston).

Stop me if you hear this: It seems that there are secret symbols written in ink ink on the appearance of the paintings that Luke was stealing. If it is deciphered properly, it may lead to the youth fountain site. Like, the actual natural spring that is said to give eternal life. One breath was a gelgamesh looking for it.

And yes, the “Youth Fountain” borrows plot points from the Gilgamesh epic, literally the oldest known story of humanity. Charlotte reluctantly agrees to join Luke in his adventures that tried the globe to decode his drawings. Their adventures will include the lifting of Lusitania (!) To recover a hidden plane on the plane, in addition to stealing a copy of the evil Bible (Mismanage of Real Life that reads “You are committing adultery” in the book of exit) located in a library in Vienna.

When Dan Brown wrote “Da Vinci symbol”, “ The archaeological Hui with an countless cloak was covered from the port, pretending that the hidden Bible symbols and the evidence of ancient paint were a philosophical task in some way. Heck, even Dust from the 2004 John Torteltop hunting, “National Treasure” She tried to link an element of the huge American patriotism in its sequence. In the compassionate contrast, the “youth fountain” is still firmly coherent, and its heroes are very wonderful so that they do not feel the great art that they are constantly surrounding. It is a large piece of feather weight of a Disney -like Treacle, taking advantage of everything you learned in the ninth grade history.

Unfortunately, as a pioneer, John Krasinski is not experienced as the movie around him. He is not funny enough to be unacceptable, loved, as he is also unable, like everything else in an effective “youth fountain”. I dare say, it lacks the charisma to hold a movie like this. Meanwhile, Natalie Portman is trying to take her character seriously, but she retracted the kind writing of the movie; Charlotte swings back and forth between enjoying herself and anger at almost shooting, all of which are emergency of the scene requirements. It does not seem really afraid. And if Locke is technician and eccentric – which also means he Never be afraid – there is never a feeling of danger.

The film speed is narrow and fast, and its images are wide open and easy to discharge. The best that he can say about the “youth fountain” is that it is systematically coherent and easy to view. Which, I understand, is the low praise. This type of visual clarity and storytelling of Richie in the “Youth Fountain” should be part of the right of the great births. Many films loved by muddy photography, clumsy editing, and no feeling of spatial continuity. Richie was able to master these things for a “youth fountain” just because he rose to the center.

This is where I should leave the “Youth Fountain”. It is an unpopular adventure to wander around the world’s favorite jacket. It was old before you started, known before we knew it. I have seen it before, and you will see it again. It contains “Rembrandt! Classic music! Pyramids!), But they are not actually smart, thoughtful or even familiar with history. It is an expensive cartoon to sleep. It is the definition of average.
