MMM: #7 The Covenant

[katikat]

Visually great. Stunning even. The special effects were quite something, let me tell you. But even though I do like the movie, it's also... rather lame, isn't it?

Why lame? Because of the godawful romantic subplot! Why, oh, why did Caleb had to find his One True Love? It was so unnecessary. And the actress was terrible! If they had focused more on the struggle between Caleb and Chase and less on Caleb making googly eyes on Sarah, it would've been so much better.

Speaking of Caleb and Chase - gosh, they had such amazing chemistry, Steven Strait and Sebastian Stan respectively. The fight in the girls' room, when Chase smashed Caleb into the mirror and then kissed him on the lips... Sheesh on a pogo stick! Talk about UST *fans herself*

Oh, and another thing I loved? The friendship between Caleb and Poque, that was great. I loved that Chase got to Caleb through Poque, that was kinda awesome. But then, I'm a big fan of h/c, so...

But really, the star of this movie was Sebastian Stan. He was bounds and leaps ahead of everyone else, acting-wise. They really should've used that more...
