My Bloody Valentine 3D Thoughts
Be warned, there'll be mainly squeeing and rambles ahead, haha. Also, for people who haven't seen the movie yet but are planning to, spoilers are under the cut. And I fully recommend you watch it spoiler-free, you'll get the most out of the experience that way.
So yeah, after an excruciating wait, I finally saw this yesterday, and to put it simply, it. Was. AWESOME!!! I'm actually shocked by how much I enjoyed it considering it's a horror film (and you all know how I don't take horror that well), but seriously, I had such a blast watching this movie, and I really loved it! But then it had Jensen in it so how much of that is a surprise, really? XD Let's face it, I was always gonna love it on some level, haha.
I have to talk about this first and get the shallow stuff out the way, but Jensen in 3D? OH. MY. GAWD *thuds on floor* There are no words. I think I died about a hundred times over, just from seeing him on screen! SO. MUCH. PRETTY! *flails* He pretty much made me forget all the reasons I was nervous in the first place. Honestly, best cinema experience EVER.
That aside, his performance was brilliant, too. Speaking as a total Dean fanatic, and seeing Jensen mainly as Dean Winchester, it's safe to say that I saw absolutely none of Dean in Tom, which just made me cheer inside because it proves how freaking awesome Jensen is at acting and separating each of his roles from the other. I'll admit, I almost didn't know what to expect, and I did think that since I was so used to Dean, I would mainly see him, even though it was a different character, but I didn't at all! It was in the way Tom looked softly at Sarah when he talked to her, how furious he got at the town's miners blaming him for what happened, how cocksure he was with the Sheriff, his vulnerability...sheesh - Jensen completely made this character his own and sold it. WOW!!!
And the twist with him being the killer was FOOKING GENIUS! Up until the last moment where he hallucinated seeing the killer behind Sarah, I didn't see it coming at all. There was that moment when he was locked in the cage in the mine, and the killer outside mirrored his movements where I thought "Crap, is that...himself? Is he imagining this?" But then when he witnessed the murder of that guy in the mine, I just thought it was a mislead. But it wasn't, holy crap!!! Jensen sold Tom's insanity really well too, that was creepy.
As for the film itself, totally awesome. Jaime King annoyed me a little, but Kerr's performance was great, and combined with Jensen's, it totally made up for it. And yeah the movie is a bit cheesy and makes you laugh-out-loud at some points, but it's meant to, it's completely a throwback to ye olde slasher flicks, and it ticked every box it was supposed to - gory deaths, suspense and jumpy bits, sex/nudity :-P Though thankfully, apart from the one scene, that wasn't too gratuitous. And you'll love trying to work out who the killer is. Seriously, it was just FAWESOME, and honestly, I had a huge grin on my face when the credits rolled. Definitely not the reaction I thought I'd have, because I thought I'd be traumatised for life from the horror in 3D, but it was that much fun, and JENSEN WAS THAT DAMN AMAZING, that I couldn't resist. FRUCKING. BRILLIANT!
And that look he gives straight into the camera at the end, when he walks away from the mine and pulls off his mask? HOLY CHRIST ON A CRUTCH! Yeah, I know he's evil and all, but I WOULD!
I wanna go see it again :-D
