The Score: 7.2/10 What It Should Be: 6/10 The Age of Adaline was probably a better movie than most people expected, given that it stars Blake Lively in the leading role (sorry, Blake: you don't make good films). That said, this kind of watchable but utterly conventional romantic drama doesn't deserve a score of 7.2. The latest Bond movie, Spectre, only managed a score of 7.1, for God's sake! It feels inherently mean to bash a movie like The Age of Adaline, because - fundamentally - it probably had good intentions. There's nothing wholly terrible about it, save for its barmy plot. It seems like an honest piece of work. It also contains a late-career performance by Harrison Ford that is genuinely quite good - a rare thing to witness nowadays. Still, can we - as a collective society - really gift a movie of such unbearable slowness with a score of 7.2? It's not even like the main character is particularly interesting: Blake Lively offers no discernible personality, opting to read all her lines in one tone of voice.
