Gone Baby Gone-Good but bad directed

Rating: 8/10 (1 April 2008)

The movie turned out pretty good, not great but pretty good.
As many of you already know Ben Affleck directed it, this is the first time i see a movie directed by him. Was i impressed? Not Really. He managed to write a good screenplay, but he didn't do so well on putting it on screen. Most of the views were pretty simple, and now and then they were a few helicopter-sky views. I didn't know why because it didn't fit in the movie at all, it was like "Hey look we have a decent budget which means we can put a camera on a chopper". Takes more than that to impress me.
Anyway, the story however is based on a missing girl, actually i believe it circles around the whole area of kids being kidnapped. The story was pretty weak but since it was so simple it kept you alert. And with a little matching string music, it actually sucessed.
Anyway i wouldn't say that this is a GREAT movie, it's good but not great. I had a pretty hard time making up my mind on what to rate for this movie. I thought 7 was to low so i decided to give it a pretty weak 8. Think of it as a steady 7 or a weak 8. Like 7.5
