Water for Elephants



What I liked:

  • Robert Pattinson looks much better with a tan and a proper haircut.
  • Hal Holbrook generated a lot emotion for his 5 minutes of screen time.
  • Christoph Waltz was perfect as usual.
  • The costume design was lovely.
  • The cinematography was beautiful.

What I didn't like:

  • Reese Witherspoon was not the right actress for this part.
  • Reese and Robert had zero chemistry together.  
  • The special effects were not that great when it came to the all important tent scene at the end.
  • The didn't develop the most interesting characters like Walter and Camel, and their relationship with Jacob.
  • If you had not read the book, the scene in Chicago could be confusing.
Read the book or listen to the audio version.  They are both much better than the movie.
