Describe A film you didn't like
Describe a film you didn't like.
You should say:
• When you watched it
• Where you watched it
• What it was about
• And explain why you don't like it
You will have to talk about the topic for 1 to 2 minutes. You have 1 minute to think about what you are going to say. You can make some notes to help you if you wish.
Last summer, I went to a downtown multiplex with my roommate to catch a much-hyped superhero spin-off, Morbius, which I’d seen endless promotional clips for on social media. The film centres on a gifted biochemist who, while experimenting with a cure for his rare lifelong blood disorder, accidentally infects himself with a form of vampire DNA that gives him superpowers but also a crippling thirst for human blood. I really wanted to enjoy it, but it was a total letdown. For one thing, the plot was riddled with gaping holes — the main villain’s motivation was shockingly underdeveloped, as he flipped from the protagonist’s loyal best friend to a power-crazed maniac with zero build-up. What’s more, the dialogue was painfully cringey, and most action sequences were filmed with chaotic shaky cam in near-darkness, so I could barely follow what was happening. By the final act, I was just counting down the minutes until the credits rolled.
