Hello everyone!!
So I have finally managed to tear myself away from Breaking Bad and thought I would do a review on The Watch so here it is....
As you can see our four main actors are Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Jonah Hill and Richard Ayoade, and they make the neighbourhood watch. It starts of with Evan ( Stiller) who is a manager at Costco and his night guard is murdered by what the police describe as some kind of beast. Being very pissed off about the whole thing Evan starts a neighbourhood watch, to try and find the murderer. So meet Bob ( Vaughn) a guy just looking for beer buddies, Franklin ( Hill) who failed to get into the police force and Jamarcus ( Ayoade ) who had a fantasy about having sex with an Asian woman because he was part of the neighbourhood watch.
This film is a typical lads film, but unfortunately everything was just to obvious and the jokes were just the same kind of thing over and over again ( there are only so many sex and penis jokes one person can handle) they even put in really cheap one when saying the aliens cum is the green slime that appears when they are killed ( desperate or what).
There were some amusing bits it in but nothing laugh out loud kind of stuff and every joke just seemed to die. There was no real character development in the movie there pitiful attempt was Evan been sterile so him and he wife couldn't have kids. There was really no need for this it brought nothing to the story at all and was just in my opinion annoying.
The thing that kept me watching this movie was the aliens it was interesting to see what they could come up with for a comedy, sci-fi about an alien invasion and the aliens were good, kind of insects crossed with dinosaurs. To be honest over all I was disappointed with the movie, the writing was nothing new, same old lads comedy kind of stuff ( sorry Seth Rogan, Evan Goldberg and Jared Stern) The only thing they brought new was the alien invasion ( which started in a Costco the question is why costco? I guess food and everything they "need" is there) but the comedy behind this was just to put it bluntly rubbish.
Wish I could say something good about the movie but I just can't sorry people. I give this film a 4/10
Watch this space I will be back soon.
