Arthur - movie review.

OH MY WORD!


I went to see Arthur last night with a friend and that movie is absolutely brilliant. It's my favourite movie 2O11 and I am sure it will remain so (except for Harry Potter probably). Let me just tell you: that movie is sweet, romantic, extremely funny and just all in all 1OO% entertaining. 

The story is really sweet, Russell Brand is absolutely lovely as Arthur Bach, Hellen Mirren is pure talent playing Hobson, and all the other actors are great as well, but Russell and Helen interact so well together! Just as well as Greta Gerwig, Jennifer Garner, Luis Guzman and all the other talented actors and actresses. Amazing. Russell plays Arthur so well, it's 1OO% the perfect story and character for him, and I would've never imagined him to be able to play such a deep and thoughtful character, that movie made me love him even more. He even cried in the movie, that was absolutely adorable! And Helen Mirren - well, nothing more to say. Those two words say it all. She is the definition of a perfect actress, so classy, amazingly beautiful, talented ... what more could you want? She was 1OO% the right person to play Hobson, noone else would've been better as her, I assure you that. 


But of course I don't want to take things away. It's just about Arthur who's like in his 30s, having the nanny (Helen Mirren) managing his life, he's the heir of a billion dollar empire - you know the drill. But they turn the movie into something so fantastic, all the actors, the city they shot in, everything - it was just brilliant! Russell and Greta as lovers, so romantic! Russell and Helen as nanny and little-boy-ish man are both hilarious and very very touching. Arthur is just the typical rich boy, partying a lot, playing with people, but he's got a big heart and is so different from what everyone thinks of him. But you have to watch the movie to know what I'm talking about. So just go see it, I've seen it, it's amazing, really good and all that. You should definitely go see it! It's worth the money, or buy it on DVD. Let me just say one word: PERFECT!






Pictures from the movie (I don't own them, Warner Bros. does!): 

 Evander Holyfield plays Arthur's boxing teacher, or boxing partner. I loved this scene, it was really cool. Seeing Russell in these clothes, and then Hobson's sentence when she's leaving. Arthur has to meet his Mum, so Hobson wants him to get ready to go meet her. And as she walks out Hobson says to Evander: Make sure he's out in five minutes or I'll bite off your other ear. Oh, Hobson ...

 You love horses, I don't trust them. Their shoes are permantent?! Who makes that kind of committment to a shoe? Just wonderful. That wasn't what he said in this scene but I don't want to take away the funny bits. This was for the wedding pictures. Loved this scene. Nick Nolte as Jennifer's father is a bit annoying, but he's really cool, such a great actor. All of them are great and Jen looked fantastic!

Wash your winky! Aha, love this scene. It's a rather fun scene before the movie takes a few minutes in the not so funny genre. That doesn't mean the movie gets bad, but sad! But the good point in the "sad" part is: Russell's amazing acting talent, really. He plays Arthur so sweet and so gentle, he's just so Russell to be honest, that's exactly how I imagine him. Only without the really stupid mother (played brilliantly by Geraldine James).




If you're cool enough you'll go and see Arthur in a theatre near you! In cinemas in Germany since May 5th 2011. GO SEE IT. You would if you were cool. If not ... well ... ;)
