Movie Review - Fantasy Island
Fantasy Island started off slow and became a fairly solid movie towards the last half. Early on I wasn't bonding with the characters -- it felt forced and really fake at first glance. But then they stepped up the game.
Once we were thoroughly into the story, and we'd learned a thing or two about the characters, it got much better. (A little over half-way.) They threw a few twists out and I started paying a little more attention. Then they went and threw another curve ball, and they had me. I had to know what was going to happen because I thought I already had it figured out.
The acting was all fairly even across the board; no one fell flat, but no one really shined. It's a solid rental movie: I can't endorse the full movie price, but it's worth the time to watch it at home.
I do have to add that the final scene was most definitely the best scene. That one got a laugh out of me.
