Introducing The 12th Doctor: Peter Capaldi

Maybe this isn't the most flattering photo...

The world went crazy today when BBC announced who would be replacing Matt Smith on the widely popular sci-fi series Doctor Who, and that man is Scottish actor Peter Capaldi. Capaldi, perhaps best known by his role in another BBC series The Thick Of It, as well as guest appearances on other shows like Torchwood, was announced to play the 12th incarnation of The Doctor, starting after Matt Smith leaves the show at the end of the year.

Capaldi is an amazing actor, and Whovians (that's what Doctor Who fans call themselves) went wild when it was revealed today that he would take on the role. I think Capaldi would do a terrific job as The Doctor, and it's nice to see a more mature face playing the role again. Capaldi will take over the role from Smith after the Christmas special, just after the 50th anniversary special in November. I can't wait.

Plot:

FBI Agent, Sarah Ashburn (Bullock) , has her eye on promotion but she isn't liked by her co-workers. She is sent to Boston  to discover the identity of  Mr. Lassen, a drug lord.  Once arriving, Ashburn realises that Lassen is eliminating his competition by killing them.  Shannon Mullins (McCarthy) who is a very territorial police officer, sneaks her way onto the case. At first reluctant, Ashburn  agrees to work with Mullins . Together the two try to track down this mysterious Lassen. They will do anything to bring him down. When Lassen discovers this, he makes it personal. Now Mullins will do anything to finish the job.

Review:

Hysterical moments tied in with the intense storyline made a classic enjoyable film. Hysterical moments spread throughout the movie were very plausible...and by the sound of the the theatres laugh, everyone enjoyed it. Sandra Bullock, returned to a FBI role after  Miss Congeniality and she did not disappoint. Melissa  McCarthy was absolutely hysterical. She did a fantastic job at playing Mullins. Her character was rather enjoyable and very very enthusiastic and passionate. She also had this soft side seen with her family.

But back to the movie...The Heat did not disappoint. Full with the action,  and comedy...we were able to witness two  completely different people trying to work together to bring down the drug lord Lassen. Although predictable at times, the chemistry between the two characters is just great. 

Mullins constant use of swear words could have been toned down a bit after using a swear word in nearly every single one of her sentences. I went in thinking 'd get a "classic buddy cop" movie mixed with stupid humor like Adam Sandler's "Jack and Jill". I was proved wrong because what I got was a fast-paced, situational based humor, with a great, orriginal, storyline.It delivers laughs like a comedy should and adds a fun to follow storyline.

I seriously suggest you go and watch the hysterical movie. 

Rate:IMDb  has a rate of 7.4. I personally believe it is worth an 8.5. 

Disagree? I'm sure many people will due to the very mixed emotions about this movie. How do you feel about the movie? Feel free to comment. 

Thanks for reading.
