Real Genius movie review
Real Genius is a movie about this young fifteen year old high school genius who is sent to college to help build a laser. Now when he arrives at this college he finds his roommate Chris Knight played by Val Kilmer. First off Val Kilmer was outstanding in this movie. His comedic timing is impeccable during certain scenes he had me rolling on the floor. His presence in this movie is hilarious he is so sarcastic throughout the entirety of the movie. I didn't really care for any of the other actors in this film honestly they aren't even good enough for a mention. Now one thing that was lacking in this film was the plot. Seriously when someone ask you to build a laser strong enough to vaporize a human what do you think they are going to use it for. It also seems like their isn't enough character development I'd like to get to know Chris Knight more. A flash back would have been nice a look at what he was like as a freshman student. In conclusion this is one of the few 80s comedies i actually enjoyed watching. I'm giving Real Genius a 7 out of 10. Other than the lacking plot, this movie was very enjoyable and deserves at least one watch. I hope you enjoy this classic as much as i have and thank God for Val Kilmer.
