Here is My Movie Review of Chronicle

So basically what happens that you have these three teenagers named Andrew Detmer, Steve Montgomery, and Matt Garetty and they are like hang out and one day they stumble upon this hole and they go into it and they find that thing that grants them superpowers and the 3 of them are just pulling pranks on random people they're just having fun but eventually it growth out of control to the point that Andrew Detmer goes crazy with his powers and start killing people so it's up to Matt Garetty To stop Andrew Detmer From killing more people and that's basically what the story is for this film. I have to say the storyline revolving around teenagers getting superpowers and trying to keep them under control has a lot of potential and the film executes this brilliant concept of people having super powered it's like what if you had powers in real life and he had to learn to control them now as a sexually what this movie shows. 

The acting in this movie is terrific. I still think everyone is really entertaining and two of the three actors in this film were going to play Marvel villains in two different Marvel films which is really interesting. You have two marble actors in this movie and they are both really fun and entertaining and as their characters. 

However the absolute big standout of this entire movie is Dane DeHaan as Andrew Detmer and he gives one of the most  captivating performances in the entire film because you can tell that he is having a lot of fun out of this character. Now the character of Andrew Detmer  Is really interesting because at first he is the good guy in the film he starts to develop his powers and he wants to learn how to use his powers responsibly but I had the phone goes on he starts to become more unstable which results in him abusing his powers and going off the rail then starting to kill innocent people I think the film handled his turn into Madness perfectly because he was tired of being pushed around by everyone including his dad. The scene where Andrew Detmer Is in the hospital and use his telepathic powers to kill his father is probably one of the most messed up moments of the entire film but it makes sense because he was tired of his dad treat him like garbage so he took his hang around and used his powers to kill him. It is probably one of the most disturbing moments of the entire film because his dad treating him like garbage was his breaking point in madness. The chemistry between him and Alex Russell and Michael B Jordan is perfect. I  think the three of them do have perfect chemistry in the film. They do work well with each other and I did their chemistry and the strongest aspect of the entire film. 

Alex Russell plays Matt Garetty In the film and his performance is really incredible because you can tell he's having a lot of fun playing this character. He  probably gives one of the most entertaining performances in the entire film. Now Matt Garetty Other character is really interesting because he's essential like the voice of reason of the group he's telling them to be responsible with their powers and not go out of control he's got like the smart one of the group he knows what he's doing he doesn't let his powers get the best of him I think making him like the wise one on the group in this film was a really great idea because you're the one that is trying to hold his friends together without a in them going insane. The scene where Matt Garetty  Is trying to tell Andrew Detmer Calm down and not kill any more people is the darkest and most suspenseful moment in the film because Matt Garetty is trying to tell Andrew Detmer not to kill more people because he wants them to stop eating his powers. It is probably one of the most haunting moments of the entire film. The chemistry between him and Dane DeHaan is magnificent because I do think they play off each other perfectly. 

However my favorite performance in this entire film is Michael B Jordan as Steve Montgomery because he gives one of the most captivating and one of the most fun performances of the entire film and you can just tell that he is having a lot of fun as this character. Now the character of Steve  Montgomery Is incredible because at first he enjoys having superpowers but I had the phone go on. He is worried that the power they have is making him and his friends unstable and he doesn't want to use his powers anymore. The scene where Steve Montgomery tells Andrew that he doesn't want to have superpowered it is not only a really dark moment but it made sense because he is worried that  killed a lot of innocent people. It is probably one of the most brutal and heartbreaking moments of the entire film because Steve is kind of sick of having power if he wants to live a normal life. Now Andrew tells him that having power will solve all your problems. The chemistry between him and Dane DeHaan Is perfect. 

Now let's talk about the directing which is the weirdest thing about the film because this film is directed by Josh trank who directed Capone and Fantastic Four 2015 which both movies were really bad. But I have to say this is the only good directed film that he has done because he really takes this concept of what would it be like to have superpowers  In real life and have someone go out of control with them and He does execute the concept perfectly and gives all three characters really powerful and emotional character arcs because all three characters have really unique and interesting personalities Matt is the voice of reason the film he's like the level head one. Steve is the one that's kind of worried but he enjoys having fun with his friends. And then Andrew is like the tough one. He enjoys having these powers and he doesn't want them to go away. He was one of the most unstable ones in the group. Overall I think he did a magnificent job directing this film. 

So in conclusion I still really enjoy this film because the storyline is really unique for a film having these teenagers gang superpowers and slowly start to become unstable and unable to control their powers as it is a unique concept and the film executes it perfectly. I Also like how the film is a found footage superhero film and found footage movies are very rare because we don't really see enough of those movies. I still think Michael B Jordan and Dane Dehann had amazing chemistry throughout the entire film. I think this is up there with Marvel's The Avengers as one of my favorite films of 2012. I also think that this film is up there with The Town as one of the most underrated films of all time. I highly recommend you watch this film especially  if you like really dark and intense films like Prisoners with Hugh Jackman. I give this movie a 10/10.
