All right so I just went to see the movie Hope, and you totally gotta see this movie! I’m not even revealing whether I liked it or disliked it. Either way, I think it’s something you should see, as long as you enjoy science fiction/action/horror films. I was a bit dazed at the way the movie ended, and at the same time, I was really intrigued by it.
Ban Smith was wandering by in plain sight while simultaneously in the shadows somehow. Of course there was something he was searching for, that’s given. Ban was a man with a reputation in his little town. There was no shortage of incoming work to his detective agency (which really was just a business of himself). Notably, he had a significant increase in phone calls after he solved the case of Morkyzorg eating that piece of pie that one time.
Oh oh anyway, back to what Ban Smith was doing. In the town area, he happened upon another person.
Another Person: Hey, Ban. Over here. Have you heard about what’s going down tonight?
Ban: [Thinking fast] well of course I have, Another Person. Tell me what YOU heard is going down tonight?
Another Person: Wait are you just tricking me into going first? Forgive my impolite question. I will be mature and assume the best of you. So what’s going down tonight is the big party at you know – one of the big mansions over the other way.
Ban: OK what’s “over the other way”? That doesn’t really help at all if I don’t have a location.
Another Person: Oh I have no idea on the location either. Alls I know is there’s a big party down one of them really big mansions. Obviously now it’s your turn. What did you hear was going down tonight?
Ban: Uhhh prior to this exact point in time I HAVE heard that there’s a big party going down tonight.
Another Person: At one of them big mansions?
Ban: You know what, that is the thing I recently heard too!
So I understand this may seem a meaningless story, and it definitely is. After all of that jargon, another person actually followed through later that night and gave Ban the coordinates to the huge party. He solved several cases in one night and saved at least a few lives. I just didn’t personally think that was the interesting part of the story to dwell on.
Whoops — Dis Drawma Kingg accidentally must’ve mixed some pages of something else I was writing into this review that’s supposed to be about the movie Hope! Okay returning to my illiterate film critique. By the end, I really liked this movie! I just had to overlook a lot of ridiculous over-the-topness. Once you start to accept that, there’s still a lot to enjoy. Additionally, I think it had an interesting ending that I will choose not to spoil in any way.
Is It Worth Watching?: I would recommend Hope to anyone that likes movies of similar genres.
Final Thoughts: 7/10 Crowns… maybe. The thing is, I kinda like this movie, but I am also having a hard time giving an honest critical rating. I can’t decide what it really deserves. I did not get bored at all for a movie almost 3 hours long. Plus I thought the sci-fi elements were cool. If you’re someone who watches all kinds of movies, I think you’ll have an out of this mansion experience watching Hope.
