Today I'm going to watch Taylor Lautner's new movie Abduction with a friend of mine, because I love action movies and Taylor Lautner is a pretty good-looking guy. Anyway, this is the first part of my movie review. I actually haven't seen it yet, that's going to happen in a few hours. But I've watched the trailer, so let's talk about what I think will happen.
So first, the trailer. Here it is:
So if you look at the cast (Taylor) you can tell that they're marketing to teenage girls with a taste for action movies. I will bet you that Taylor has at least 1 shirtless scene. But who's complaining?
Did you know that the girl is played by TAYLOR LAUTNER'S EX? Isn't that kind of awkward? Sure, it's their job to do stuff like that, but still. I'm convinced that the two will kiss in the movie. Remember the marketing concept : stuff that attracts young teenage girls?
So yeah. Check in later today for my review, which will probably be unfairly good because again, I love action movies and Taylor Lautner is good looking.
On a side note, it said on Rotten Tomatoes that, quote, "A soulless and incompetent action/thriller that not even a veteran lead actor could save, let alone Taylor Lautner". BUT: it also said that 47% of the audience liked it.
Which actually kind of makes sense. Half of the audience consisted of teenage girls that didn't really care that much if the storyline was excellent or not. I'm not saying all teen girls only went for Taylor's abs, I'm saying that quite a few only went for Taylor's abs.
Me somewhat included.
It's like this: it doesn't need a wonderful plot for me to like it. I liked Sex And The City 2 somewhat, while very aware of the fact that it was crappy. I did not like The King's Speech all that much, while aware of the fact that the acting was exquisite.
I'm convinced I'm going to like this movie a lot.
