Watch Beautiful Creatures Online Free (2013) Movie : In the wake of the
completion of the cinematic rendition of The Twilight Saga, Hollywood has been
desperately looking for the next cash cow to exploit for years to come. It
seemed like The Hunger Games (reviewed here!) would be a sure-fire hit, but
that did not quite work out for the producers of the film – it was the only
film in the highest-grossing films of 2012 that did not make more in the world
theater than in the U.S.! – and the surety of the pulp teen fantasy romance
genre novel to translate into successful, critically well-considered films was
very much in doubt. Enter Beautiful Creatures, 2013’s second of several such
franchise-builders (Warm Bodies beat it to market by two weeks!). I’ll admit;
going into the screening of Beautiful Creatures, I had some trepidations. (
Watch Beautiful Creatures Online ) When I recently considered The Twilight Saga
(reviewed here!) as a whole, I was forced to acknowledge that the individual
films were probably rated higher than I would regard them, especially when
viewed one after another. While each film has to stand on their own, I found
that my own enthusiasm probably led me to rate the films higher than I might
have objectively considered them. I was determined not to make the same mistake
with Beautiful Creatures. Fortunately, I had absolutely no preconceived notions
of what the film would be before I saw it. I have not read the book and so,
this is a very pure review of the film itself; I can offer no comparison to how
it stacks up against the novel. That said, Beautiful Creatures feels very much
like a beginning … and it is.
Download Beautiful Creatures Movie Free (2013) : In the small town of Gatlin,
South Carolina, Ethan Wate is shocked when change comes to his school on the
first day of his sophomore year. The change is a new student, Lena, who is
remarkable in that she is identical to the girl Ethan has been dreaming about.
Soon, the school is abuzz about the strange new girl and her family, who –
rumors are – have supernatural abilities. Ethan, however, feels drawn to Lena
and almost immediately begins helping her and learning about her. ( Download
Beautiful Creatures Movie ) Lena, who lives with her Uncle and Amma, who speaks
to the dead. Lena is living with a weight; her impending sixteenth birthday
will see her own magical powers come into bloom. At that time, purveyors of the
dark arts and the forces who fight using good magic will both attempt to make
her part of their ranks. Ethan suddenly finds himself immersed in a world of
magic, women who look shockingly good (especially for their ages!), and powers
that should be out of his understanding. But, while the rest of the town
follows a mob mentality to rise against Lena and her family (which her mother,
the dark Caster Serafine uses against her), Ethan gets closer to Lena and
discovers that her struggle involves him more than he ever thought it would.
Watch Beautiful Creatures Online Free (2013) Movie : Beautiful Creatures is
well-paced, but it feels pretty familiar in terms of plot. It’s like I Am
Number Four (reviewed here!) had superpowers and aliens replaced with magic and
supernatural beings and was blended then blended with Twilight and Frankenstein
(or, I suppose, The Crucible). Lena is a classic character in the process of
becoming and her story quickly dominates Beautiful Creatures. Unfortunately, as
far as the character’s journey goes, Lena is at an unfortunate stage in her
journey and one that makes her more of a tool for the whims of others than a
realized character of her own. ( Watch Beautiful Creatures Online ) Lena
quickly falls into the role of a rope in the tug-of-war between Serafine and
Macon. As is the conceit of all of these new genre pieces, there is a romance
plot/subplot to Beautiful Creatures. Ethan and Lena move toward a romance with
one another with all the subtlety of a thunderstorm in the Southern flatlands.
It’s obvious and Beautiful Creatures adds nothing new, special, or different
to the concept. In fact, this might be one of the more insulting outings in
recent memories as it works to restore the notion that the female protagonist
is a damsel in distress who might be saved by love (though Macon’s take on it
is that the burgeoning relationship might be a distraction which causes Lena to
lose her way, much the way an overprotective father clings to his daughter’s
chastity in the antiquated notions of the “good girl”/”dirty girl”
dichotomy).
Download Beautiful Creatures Movie Free (2013) : The relationship between Lena
and Ethan is hampered on screen by actress Alice Englert and actor Alden
Ehrenreich. I promised myself that for the film Beautiful Creatures I would not
comment on the blandly, obvious, stereotypical good looks of any of the
performers, so to keep focused: Engler and Ehrenreich are fine on their own and
they get some decent banter off one another. However, they have less than zero
in the way of on-screen chemistry. The characters play off one another well,
but when it comes time for physical intimacy or the implication of genuine
affection between the two character, both actors seem unusually, tragically,
stiff. ( Download Beautiful Creatures Movie ) While such things seldom last,
there are innumerable movies where the stars hook up and have off-screen
relationships during the filming of their projects and fans invariably respond
with, “I’m not surprised!” It would be a shock if Ehrenreich and Englert
had any sort of friendship, much less romantic involvement outside the filming,
based on how stiff they are in the scenes where the deliver dialogue regarding
their character’s emotions for one another. The real scene stealer is Emmy
Rossum (Emma Thompson and Jeremy Irons easily falling into the realm of
predictable greatness as their powerful characters Serafine and Macon), who
explodes onto the screen with an energetic sexuality that reminds one of the
potential she had in The Phantom Of The Opera (reviewed here!). Despite her
exuberance and the way she oozes sexual energy as Ridley, she never makes it
seem cheap or easy, like her Shameless character.
Watch Beautiful Creatures Online Free (2013) Movie : Young love, so sorely
tested by vampirism and zombification in “Twilight” and “Warm Bodies,”
finds the road to romance sunnier in “Beautiful Creatures,” in which two
teens pair up despite the fact that one of them is a witch in training. The
one-liners drawl from the lips of the South Carolina characters like Spanish
moss dripping from the oaks in a script so witty it attracted Oscar winners
Emma Thompson and Jeremy Irons and Oscar nominee Viola Davis in supporting
roles. Alden Ehrenreich gives a breakout performance as Ethan, a dreamer and
square peg in the round hole of rural Gatlin, S.C. A high school junior who
longs for the day he can escape his provincial life, he’s an incessant reader
– Henry Miller, Ayn Rand, William Burroughs – and that manifests itself in
his narration and his take on his town. ( Watch Beautiful Creatures Online )
“They keep reenacting the Civil War like it’s gonna come out different.”
He’s jilted the pretty, but less bookish and more fundamentalist Emily (Zoey
Deutch), but open to the charms of the “new girl,” a raven-haired vision
who appeared to him in dreams. Lena (Alice Englert) is a 15 year-old Southern
Gothic Goth Girl – dark and mysterious, an aspiring poetess with numbers
tattooed on one hand and a sullen sarcasm that is catnip to Ethan. He ignores
the Mean Girl mongering of Emily, the fear-mongering of the local
fundamentalist crusader (Thompson) and the counsel of family friend Amma (
Davis). Lena resists the warnings of her patrician uncle (Irons), a recluse who
presides over an estate that once encompassed the whole town. Of course
they’re fated to be together. And the fact that she’s a witch, and that
only he’s supposed to know? That just doubles down on the doomed
love/forbidden love thing.
Watch Beautiful Creatures Online Free (2013) Movie : But what truly sunk
Beautiful Creatures into the realm of average for me was the mood as it related
to the plot. Beautiful Creatures is supposed to be a tense film that has
viewers wondering which way Lena will go. Will she fall to the forces of evil
or become a tool of great good? The last time the choice was so utterly
unconvincing was Return Of The Jedi (reviewed here!), where it took until I
watched it on DVD with the commentary track on that I realized that George
Lucas wanted the scene with Luke on the second Death Star to have fans on their
edge of their seat believing he could go over to the Dark Side (for at least
one hundred viewings over my lifetime before that, I never got that – it just
didn’t land, it wasn’t going to happen). ( Watch Beautiful Creatures Online
) In a similar way, Beautiful Creatures throws out the ideas of destiny, the
angry mob, and precedent (in the form of a number of very evil Casters related
to Lena) to try to sell the viewer on the idea that this girl whose angst seems
entirely to be about the possibility that she could be sucked into the dark
side will go there. Viewers are too smart for that. But, as Beautiful Creatures
is the first of what is sure to be several movies based upon the books that
spawned this series, not all the answers are contained in this film and there
are seeds laid for the subsequent volumes. One hopes they will rise to
something more remarkable than this. Download Beautiful Creatures Movie or
