Don't expect too much from the story, but DO watch it for it's visuals!

Rating: 7/10 (15 August 2014)

Personally I'm a big fan of well written stories with a great plot, and I tend to dislike movies with cheesy ones. Even though The Grand Budapest Hotel does not have a spectacular plot, it is a movie worth watching. The characters in this movie are very well portrayed and I enjoyed getting to know them better. Besides the interesting characters, the locations used in this movie match perfectly with the entire story. It is obvious that there is spend a lot of time in finding these locations. But what I most liked about The Grand Budapest Hotel were the very creative camera angles and movements. Every shot could've been a painting. Visually wise this movie was outstanding, great editing, great use of color, great set dressing etc.
So pretty much: Don't expect too much from the story, but DO watch it for it's visuals!
