The Tourist (I) (2010)
7/10
Sad storyline, fair acting
20 December 2010
Warning: Spoilers
I love Johnny Depp…everyone knows this. I went to this movie knowing that it was a flop at the movie theaters and had terrible reviews…why? Well, I love Johnny Depps movies. What took me so long to see the movie…I hate Angelina Jolie. To be honest…the movie didn't make much sense by the end of the movie, and it left me wondering why? This is not the actors fault, it was just VERY poorly written. Depp is funny and charming, while Angelina busts out with one of her worst performances since Tomb Raider. I'm sorry Angelina…your British accent is awful, and you sound like you're whispering your words…I don't know if it's to be sexy…but it was very annoying.

Right off the bat, the movie starts with Angelina Jolie, and the whole first half of the movie was about how "gorgeous" she is…which to be honest, in this movie she actually looked old (even older than Johnny Depp). The scenes of intimacy…or what was supposed to be the "spark" in the movie where you see the two characters fall in love…ya, it didn't happen. You're left standing there wondering why Frank (Depp) fell in love with Elise (Jolie) because she was so cold hearted to him. In the end…I guess it makes more sense…but for nearly 2 hours of the movie you're wondering why Depp's character doesn't just leave…there was no spark! Overall, not my favorite Johnny Depp movie…sadly it's really not because of him, but because of his co-stars and the writers. Let's just hope he returns (triumphantly) as Captain Jack Sparrow this May.
