In to the Wild (2007): Could have been better

Posted by maneesh On June - 16 - 2010

Cast: Emile Hirsch
Marcia Gay Harden
William Hurt

The story is about a college graduate who finds Jungles and wild life better than the city life. Being an explorer myself I liked the idea but the story becomes very slow in the middle. In the beginning it was okay, they were making plot for the movie, but in the middle it becomes boring. Even I don't like the ending. Not because the actor dies, but he dies by eating a poisonous weed. There's no great climax as one can expect in an adventure movie. The movie could have been better.

Cast: Nicolas Cage
Justin Bartha
Diane Kruger
Jon Voight
Helen Mirren
Ed Harris

Genre: Adventure

Well, I would say the movie was okay. But not parallel to the standards of the first part. The movie was slow at times. Even the story was not as catchy as the first part. Ed Harris was great as he always is. You can watch for one time. Not bad.
