The Outsiders (1983)
4/10
Fun sometimes, poor overall
28 September 2020
I didn't know this movie until now, so I guess I don't have the love some others have for it having watched it back in the day, the nostalgia part doesn't play on me. I found very interesting the casting, most of the actors went to be big in cinema, so it's fun to see them all together when they were just starting. The story was fun to watch too, but the acting get more and more in the way of fun as it becomes more and more cheesy and just plain bad. The story it's very inconsistent and dramatism is given randomly some times, and it's missing in others. The music is poorly paced in my opinion, it's not that doesn't fit the movie, but some scenes are jut a total miss musically. As it was common in most of the movies on the 80s and 90s, the choreography in fights and scenes of violence were pretty ridiculous, which wouldn't ruin the movie for me on it's own, but here it only added up something else I didn't like. I felt the last half hour was quite rushed and the worst in terms of acting and pace on the story, I was wishing it ends for the last about 20 minutes. I can't say I didn't enjoy the movie at all, but it really went down the hill the second half. It's a curious rare casting thing to watch, but definitely not a great movie, calling it a classic it's just out of nostalgia.
