Water for Elephants Movie Review

~Warning this post contains spoilers~

I can’t believe it has been over a week since Water for Elephants came out and I haven’t written about it. Real Life has been busy! I did see it opening day here and again this past Thursday Night. I loved that at Thursday’s show there was a group from a nursing home there to see the movie. I hope all they enjoyed the movie.

I got all teary eyed at the beginning when Older Jacob, played by Hal Holbrook, picked up the picture of Marlena on top of Rosie and at the end when they showed clips of Jacob and Marlena’s life together. It was really hard to watch when August went into the train car and beat Rosie. They didn’t show the beating but you knew what was happening and heard it. The one thing I wasn’t prepared for was how emotional I was after the movie. I really felt emotionally drained and like I could just go in my room and have a good cry. I still get teary eyed if I think about it.

I'm trying to be unbiased in my review because you know I love Rob! I thought Rob did an outstanding performance. I loved him as Jacob Jankowski. I felt like he owned the role. He is so handsome! *sigh* I was so proud of his performance. I have wanted him to succeed as an actor and I really hope people will see that he can really act! I love that you got to see him smile and laugh. I also love watching Rob with the animals. I love the interviews when he is talking about Tai aka Rosie. He just lights up. You can tell he is a caring guy!

Christoph Waltz's performance was beyond amazing! He was perfect for his role.

I thought that Reese did a great job too!

If you read the book it filled in some holes/gaps in the movie. I did feel like there was something missing in the love story between Jacob and Marlena. If I had just seen the movie I would be like so they both care for the animals but is that enough to leave your husband and go after the Vet? There were also the side stories of the other characters that weren’t developed because there wasn’t time in a movie.

I do think it is worth paying full price to see in theater. It is a beautiful story!

Confession...shhhhhh!

I know this may be hard for a few of you to believe but I didn’t always have the crazy huge crush on Rob that I do now. I got into twilight after the first movie came out and I would hear things about how Rob was so hot but I (dun dun dun) didn’t think so.

It may because I saw pictures of Rob like this.

Or Like This....

You can’t deny that some pictures of Rob are just not good.

I saw the Twilight Movie after it came out on DVD and I thought Rob looked pretty good but I still wasn’t crazy fan girl over him.

Edward looks bothered!

How I didn't go fan girl over this...I do not know!

Then one day I listened to the Twilight sound track…I don’t know what happened when I heard him sing the “aha aha” in “Let Me Sign” a switch went off in my brain. His warm bluesy voice gave me goose bumps especially when he sings the lyrics, “I’ll wrap you in my arms.”

I hit repeat over and over and switched back from “Never Think” and “Let Me Sign”.

The passion that comes through in his singing voice gives me chills. When I found out he was a musician too that increased the hotness factor by a bazillion!

Even carrying a guitar increases his HOTNESS!

I love his fingers!

Piano Rob! *Sigh*

I have been Robobessed ever since...which is a little strange to me since I never did this as a teen girl. Sure I had a crush on John Taylor from Duran Duran but I wouldn't say it was an obsession.

For all of you youngins~this is John Taylor! Ignore the mullet, it was the 80's. Now that I look at John -
Rob kind of reminds me of him....Huh

It could be because we didn't have the Internet back in those days and now I can go on-line and google Robert Pattinson images and look at him when I want or do a daily check of some other Rob Bloggers: RobPattzNews or ROBsessed .
You know I like to share Rob Porn ~ below are a few of my fav ~ Enjoy~

What can I say about this picture? Happy Trail and Hip....Oh My!

The look in his eyes! Opps........ I fainted!

More eyes and Lips. He has perfect lips.

This pic makes me want to run my fingers through his hair and chest hair too!

Now my Rob crush may not be "age appropriate" for someone my age and some of my friends tell me this crazy Rob/Twilight obsession is my "mid-life crisis" all I have to say to them is F@#& Off and let me enjoy Rob!

Now I can be Team Jacob!

Today was Rob's first day filming as Jacob in Water for Elephants. Does anyone else find it amusing that his character is Jacob? Now I can be Team Jacob!
