Beast (I) (2022)
7/10
Lots of Bite, but not enough Chew
22 August 2022
Ok. Weird subject title. Let me quickly explain.

So here we are in the middle of an African safari and we just witnessed some (redacted) prior to. We settle in with Idris Elba + his two daughters. One that is wearing a sweater over another and complaining how hot it is, the other daughter dressed a little more applicable for Africa (had to point that out because who wouldn't dress for the place and the heat? Lol) Anyways the movie for the most part kept me intrigued. I found that the most of actions done by Idris Elba's character was relatively believable. Even from his buddy Martin (Sharlto Copley). The CGI of the lions were pretty damn good.

So where does the not enough Chew fit in? Well without spoiling a single thing it definitely came near the end which I felt a bit rushed/predictable. A few other scenes too but nothing that wrecked the film by any means.

Overall a good but not great, but unfortunately forgettable Lion vs Man movie. Idris Elba deserves a lot better.
