Movie Review: The Longest Ride
The movie i'm reviewing today is in the title of this post. It's based on a Nicholas Sparks Novel, same like The Notebook and Dear John (if I got that right). The main reason why I wanted to watch this so badly. Not forgetting, Britt Robertson and Scott Robertson was such a good couple on set. But the whole movie isn't based on one love story but two.
There were scenes that left me teary eyed but The Notebook is still the best yet. I think the only really moving and interesting part of the movie was the love story between Ira and Ruth. They withstand so many ups and downs; the war, even though Ira was left sterile due to an infection from a gunshot wound. Especially since Ruth loves children and wants a big family. She left at one point of time but she came back! AW. The fact of how Ira is such a romantic man. Even though he had ruth with him, he still wrote letters to her everyday.
Britt and Scott's romance wasn't as moving or out of the ordinary. In life, couples will have different interests and different career paths. Sophia's (Britt) interest was art while Scott's (Luke) is his ever so dangerous bull riding career. Hey, it's only my point of view. No hating! As I was saying, their romance wasn't really great but i'm not saying it's not good. In a general, the movie is still enjoyable. If I was in Sophia's (Britt Robertson) shoes, i'll be really uneasy everytime my boyfriend went for another bull ride competition. I mean, you'll never know whether he will finish it unharmed. The bulls are unpredictable and pretty scary. Luke has had his setbacks with bull riding; injuries and his health.
In short, this movie did not give me the same effect the Notebook did, but I guess it's worth the watch. Do bring popcorn, the movie is definitely a long ride of 128 mins. I'll rate this movie about, 3.5/5.
