Best movie of the year?

Rating: 10/10 (26 November 2011)

I went into this movie for pure entertainment, I wasn't expecting this movie to be as good as it was...
The acting was excellent, especially from Sir Ben Kingsley (which is the reason I saw this movie). The kid actors were surprisingly good too. Sacha Baron Cohen was hilarious as the Inspector. Back to Kingsley, he was the highlight of the movie even though he wasn't the main star. I just can't get how he made his emotions so real and believable. Another minor actor that did well was Jude Law. Even though he had less than twenty minutes of screen time, he made that time count. Chloë was amazing along with the kid star Asa, even though he didn't steal the show, he was the second best actor behind Kingsley. Christopher Lee also has a small part and he made his screen time count just like Jude Law. I applaud the great acting.
The plot of the film was very interesting. The movie was almost like a mystery, some would argue it was a mystery. There was also humor (most of it came from Sacha). There were times during the movie where I was literally was at the end of my seat. Sometimes I was thinking to myself, "you're being loud, they might hear you!" or "look out!" The movie definitely engaged me.
The direction and 3D of the film was magnificent! Martin Scorsese knew what to do with the script and he did it well. The angles of the camera and the shots he did were very extraordinary. The 3D was used the right way. Forget about the useless 3D films, Thor, Captain America, etc. The 3D isn't used to make things pop out, it's used to add more depth to the film. It's also used for art for some certain scenes. People who thoroughly enjoyed the 3D for Avatar, will love the 3D for this film. I don't know why they marketed this movie for kids, some kids may enjoy, but it's mostly for adults, because there are some adult elements that little ones may not understand.
I had an amazing experience with this film, you won't regret it. I really hope this movie breaks budget, that's the least this movie deserves. See this movie, for your own good.
