Syed R Bling ring is a movie you got to have a lot of patience to watch. I didn’t hate it but I definitely didn’t like it. The end part could have been a bit more interesting and unique but it was kind of just repetitive just as it was throughout the whole movie. It did interest me a little though since I am also a teen and it’s kind of humorous how these teens can get away with some of these robberies. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/17/24 Full Review Noah S Its really just a repetitive cycle of drugs and robbery, feels really dragged out, though I do have to admit its well acted out and well filmed Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/03/24 Full Review Lauren K The Bling Ring was incredibly repetitive for the majority of the movie. It was a repeat cycle for what felt like an hour of watching a handful of annoying kids breaking into a house, gawking at all the clothes and shoes, leaving, partying and doing drugs, and then doing it all over again. The characters are all incredibly hatable despite the (mostly) shallow attempts to make you feel bad for them. (In my opinion, the only one that should receive sympathy is Marc. He just ended up with the wrong crowd.) There are some scenes that give better insight into what the kids are like and the details of their relationships with one another (the most significant of which is Rebecca and Marc) but there are far less than enough to give that much depth to the characters. However, despite the aggravatingly repetitive story and occasional hard-to-watch scenes, the movie can be great at some parts at a cinematography standpoint. The contrast of low key lighting and high key lighting to create extreme contrast between the kids’ daily lives and their lives of crime was interesting. I loved the scene of Rebecca and Marc robbing one of the houses that had an ongoing wide shot of the entire house; it was really stressful. If you can put aside the annoying comments from the annoying teen girls, a lot of the robbing scenes in the movie were interesting to watch along with being very stressful and overall well put together. I also really enjoyed the documentary-like format and the use of computer screens being used as a shot, photo collages/slideshows, etc. One of my favorite choices made was using camera footage as shots of the kids running around the house or leaving; it really built tension. Overall, the movie is very well put together from a cinematography standpoint and includes several unique kinds of shots and scenes that create a great visual experience. However, if you want to watch a movie that has a good, engaging story, don’t waste your time with this. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/29/24 Full Review B S I thought this movie was great. It kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Especially when they shot at Audrinas house, The high up angle shot made me feel like they were gonna get caught any second. I loved the 2000’s vibe of the movie. The actors played their parts very well and really made you feel like you were in the movie. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/29/24 Full Review Daniel C Cinematically the movie is fine, but the plot is unnecessarily repetitive and there is no satisfying conclusion to the movie. The burglary shots were dragged on excessively with unnecessary conversations that killed any suspense. The characters are barely relatable and the only times where you actually feel any sympathy for the characters is during a very small number of close up shots on mark. But character development wise, mark was the only character that had any conscience and all the other characters were so incredibly dislikable that you would hope for a satisfying ending. However the ending was very rushed and overall left me dissappointed Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/29/24 Full Review Daxton K I thought the plot was fine. It was kinda slow at some points but over all it was fine. I thought the cinematography was very good from switching shots to a documentary format and through the lens of security cameras. I think the characterization was good because the movie really made me hate these characters. Overall I thought it was a alright movie.
