What could have been

Rating: 7/10 (28 April 2015)

Like many of us who watch the Trailer for the motion picture "Lucy" we were fired up to say the least.
With Scarlett Johansson as the lead character you would expect to see a strong female protagonist and being co-star with Morgan Freeman what could go wrong? Well I'm about to explain.
The plot of the film centers around a normal everyday young woman named Lucy (Scarlett Johansson) who is forced into a dark deal, however she is transformed into a powerful warrior with knowledge beyond the human mind. Professor Norman (Morgan Freeman) is teaching a college class when the two meet and begin to explore Lucy's new powers.
Now what the trailer shows doesn't show you exactly what you would get when it comes to Lucy. It feels like the trailer was used to set a trap for you to think you would get to see a epic action film but what you get is not that at all.
Now there is some action in the film and we get to see how dangerous Lucy is not only that she gain powers that make her body stronger but also her mind is show to be the most dangerous weapon.
But that's where we begin to have our problems with the film, they try to do too much at once between having scenes we see Lucy and how she gets into this mess to seeing Mr.Norman giving a lecture in a college class about the human mind then we pretty much get a film that had a lot more of a film that try to be I couldn't find the word to match it.
Lucy shows that she is one of the most interesting characters in film history it just the idea of mixing a action film like this with a lecture pretty much is mind blowing on how they thought they could get away. The film does feature some amazing special effects and how Lucy's powers are unreal makes you want to watch the film and just watching the film will make you see why Lucy is not the one you want to mess with.
But I did enjoy Scarlett and Morgan performances they did a good job with their talents on the film it just the film would have be much better if it was just like the trailer said it would have been.
I give Lucy an 7 out of 10
