Just perfect...
I'll tell you why so serious
Excellent, Without a doubt!!
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Two best friends (a nerd - Needy and a cool chick - Jennifer) escape a fire that made a lot of victims at the local club. Unfortunately, Jennifer gets caught by a rock band that performed that night at the club and is sacrificed in the devil's name. Because she wasn't a virgin, she survived and turned into a demon that could survive only by devouring live people, especially boys. Needy must find out what's going on with her friend and end her killing spree before her own boyfriend gets murdered.It's an average horror movie that only keeps you wondering what happened to Jennifer the night after the fire (it's revealed later by Jennifer to Needy). From then, killings, killings, funerals, mourning and a scene near the end where Needy must save her boyfriend and pay back to her friend and the rock band that was responsible.Quite boring actually, not very frightening and a plot which doesn't do anything to attract your interest. I was even disappointed by the ending. You might want to take a look at it if you're a fan of horror movies. As for me, a mediocre film I never want to see again.
This movie is the typical light and highly sexualized horror movie that sells well among teenagers. It revolves around a young intellectual girl, Needy, and his friend, the futile and naughty Jennifer, a cheerleader who turns into a succubus after being used by a garage band in a Satanist ritual that required a young virgin to work well. The transformation results from the simple fact that Jennifer's virginity was already part of the past. From then on, Jennifer will entertain herself to kill and eat young males who seek to have sex with her.Megan Fox is the main actress of the cast and plays the lead role. But she's not a good actress. Having a beautiful face and a sexy body is not enough to be an actress, there has to be talent. It's not the case. Basically, what Megan Fox does in this movie is show her body and seduce the audience. But this is not erotic cinema, is it? Amanda Seyfried looks better and works relatively well in Needy's role.Basically the film is just the traditional and overused recipe of sex and terror. Most of the special effects, visual and sound are quite rudimentary and make use of the usual clichés in the films of this horror sub-genre. The scares are few and mediocre. There is enough blood for gore fans, but we cannot properly say that the movie is a bath of flesh, blood and guts. There are many moments in the movie where sex is suggested, but even this is conventional and serves only to hold the teens to the end. There are still some attempts to make jokes, but they are so bad that it's not even worth talking about.
This movie is an atrocity to both men and women everywhere. I knew getting into this, that there would be all kinds of sexual clichés lobbed against women. I literally watched this just so I could have something to point to, when people whined at me for saying that Megan Fox is a skank. I mean, anyone who doesn't think she's a complete prostitute really needs to read her interviews here on IMDb. She basically says it herself, she just uses wordplay to make it sound less obvious. But people I talk to often aren't willing to read interviews, so I will simply have this film to point out that NO woman with ANY degree of self respect would take the role of the protagonist in this movie. IT'S A MOVIE ABOUT UNDERAGE SEX AND SEXUAL PREDATION. Who would WANT to put their name on that? But to my surprise, it wasn't just the women who were treated moronically. It was EVERYONE. Even the men in this movie are thrown under the bus, and portrayed as moronic stereotypes. There are only two types of dude in this movie: sexual predator or dumb-ass who sleeps with anything that shoves breasts in his face. This movie makes it out as though you can just walk up to a guy, shake your rack a little, and he'll take his pants off. So this movie is equally offensive to both genders.Beyond that, I watched this movie a couple of months ago, and then forgot about it. Very promptly. Saying that it's forgettable is akin to saying lard is high in saturated fat. The only reason I remembered it at all, was because I was cleaning my "to watch" list of movies I'd actually, you know, watched. It's probably not a one-star movie, probably a two or a three, because in spite of the terrible stereotypes and clichés and horrible teenage movie acting, the plot does hold up, and the pacing is actually fine. But if some of these other brain-dead reviewers can give this movie a glowing 9 star review, based purely on the fact that they like Megan Fox, I can give it 1 star based purely on the fact that I don't. I'm just self aware enough to admit it to myself.
I have to admit that I was initially fearing that "Jennifer's Body" was going to be another generic teenage horror movie. But luckily it turned out to transcend mediocrity and be more than an average teenage horror.It was because of the cast that I had feared as much. I mean, Megan Fox, come on. But she actually stepped up to the plate and delivered where it counted, proving that she is more than just a pretty face.The story is about a girl who catch a ride with some questionable Guys. And fearing her gone, her friend is relieved to find her coming back home. But Jennifer is not the same person anymore; she is so much more.As for the story, well, it wasn't revolutionary to the horror genre by any means, but it was entertaining. And it delivered where it had to.The practical effects were quite good, as were the special effects. The slow breakdown of Jennifer's body throughout the movie was particularly impressive.I have seen this movie twice now, granted with years in between, but the movie does have enough contents to sustain more than just a single viewing.
