ZOOLANDER 2

REVIEWED

This movie took place about 10 years after the first one which is actually about that long. It has the main actors as the first one. Ben Stiller (of course and he is also the director and producer), Will Ferrel and Owen Wilson. Mila Jakovich was also in the one reviving her role from the 1st one.

 

IMDB give this a 5.0 rating which to me it deserve it ! Thats why it came on Blu Ray quite fast.

 

The first thing noticed was the accompanying music. It was like Dark Knight suspense epic music all the way. Sometimes it work sometimes it was quite distracting. Distracting why ? As this is a comedy movie you just kindda of distracted that this movie should be taken seriously.

 

One thing that can entertain you is the number of actors and celebrities in this one. It started with Justin Bieber and that was funny. But I dont know how BS managed to get to get them killed or being an idiot in the movie. Oh dont forget Jack Bauer ! I wished i did not see this movie as it spoiled JB's character in his many 24 TV series !

As a director and how the action were shown, Ben Stiller is not bad. Just as he did with Walter Minty. But the jokes are stupid at times and the plot is childish. Thats my complaint.

Well see it for a good laugh here and there and knowing your celebrities.

 

PHOENIX RISING DEEP PURPLE

REVIEWED

Stumbled on this video on Youtube downloaded and uploaded it to OpenloadCo. If nobody download it for a duration of time then its bye bye for the video. Its an old video of 2011 and in Blue Ray, so the quality of the interviews are good. As for the rest, particularly the concert footage - it comes as what they are. Anyway there are quite a number of havent seen footage which are bonuses for DP's fans of course.

To me, this Movie documentary could have been retitled "Glen's Purple featuring Lord" because it contained a lot of interviews GH. Next is Jon Lord. I mean the interviews meant for this video back then in 2011. Not that it was not good but it gave a good perspective of DP during the GH's era. Some unknown but interesting facts revealed like the song "Coming home" had Tommy Bolin's on bass when Glen Hughes was nowhere near the continent when they made the song. Got to see to know (no spoilers)

I always thought TB is not a good guitar player. It was glaring in The Last Concert in Japan. The fact is he was not really playing the guitar because of his arm's numbness due to indirect result of taking drugs prior to the concert. They wanted to feature the gig as an album because it was the only and last time TB was caught on film alive.

JL's tend to get emotional at times during his interview when he touched on the significant moments of the band's history.

Mend for those who are die hard fans of the band especially the Mark IV and you will not be dissapointed as it got footage and facts you dont know before this.

Not from the DVD rather than a tribute to DP's MarkIV line up.

REVIEWED

This movie stars Joseph Fiennes, not James Bond's M, but the younger brother.

It is about the rise of Jesus Christ (?), I believe, from what being told and written from the bible. What I know there are a few versions and I dont know which one was this taken from. It started from the cruxification of JC right to when he rose from the dead and commanded his 12 apostles to spread Christianity.

Through out the movie, you are not told the name Jesus rather than Yeshua who was played by Cliff Curtis. This guy could look like a Negro, hispanic but more like an Indian. He could also look like a Jew in this one. JF played Clavius one of the roman's commander who got "converted" but turned down to be one of the apostle.

The movie is slow with not much of action or effects. The only motivation to view this is to find out what finally happened or when the movie end. To me how easily was Clavius being turned to believe in Yeshua hard to understand. How a Roman commander who slained Jews suddenly turned a new leaf when he met Yeshua. And also how the Apostle believe in him that he had turned is also a wonder. But since it is based on a "true story" of sort, it could happened. Perhaps like "Eddie the Eagle" the part of Clavius was fictious ?

The Romans soldiers seem kind and gentlemen like thou you see dozens of bodies been thrown to rot after cruxification.

Good to see if you are into drama. Ok acting I suppose. It would be better if it had shown the cruelty and the torture done by the Romans and how Christianity started to spread. Spicing up the action would also be great. Perhaps budget is a constraint and so we are left with this version.

10 CLOVERFIELD LANE

https://openload.co/f/oBBUGhz46-w/10.Cloverfield.Lane.2016.HDRip.XViD.AC3-ETRG.avi.mp4

REVIEWED

This movie has a ring to it. The first that'll come to your mind is the question - has it got to do with the movie of a similar but unique title which is Cloverfield ? I can still remember that movie where it was as though taken from a handcam all through out the film.  At that time it was one of the first to experiment with that kind of movie technique. In a way it helps to make a movie interesting despite its low budget. That movie worked for me as it was effective. In the end we finally discovered what the "mysterious" terror was. Only a short glimpse it made the movie work well. But that was this movie what about this one ?

Nope it is not taken from a supposedly handcam perspective. Its not too low a budget but the set made you think it is and it applied the same formula as the earlier one (not saying that it is related :) It keep the suspense right up the end and spend the budget of the movie at the end too.

No surprise that the main attraction of this movie is that the producer is the respected JJ Abrams right after the huge success of Star Wars TFA. The movie has his element but not directed by him. 

This movie was give the awesometacular rating by a Youtube movie reviewer (i think you know who) and I grabbed the first chance that I can get hold of the respected download version of it.

I am not disappointed at all watching it but it did not get the thumbs up as nothing much the movie can do about 3 people in a bunker. It has its moments all right. Its strength lies in the acting of the 3 stars. Maybe John Goodman can get an award like JK Simons in Whiplash for this one, the scary guy. Elizabeth Winstead was also good. She deserve an award too if this year Bree Larson got for Room which till now i disagree.

This movie is recommended if you like drama and built of suspense in a film. With such thin plot and to drag it for about 1hour 40mins is a feat indeed.

CAPTAIN AMERICA : CIVIL WAR (cinema)

Actually this is the 2nd thumbs baldy I am giving in my reviews. Read thru my belated reviews of the first 2 thumbs baldy review of movies seen seen. You may be surprised on which one was it

Happy Labor Day 1st May. Had the opportunity to see this movie at a nearby local cinema with family
Had a blast of time !!

REVIEW :
Now here is my review of my best Superhero of all time Captain America : Civil War. Surprising that the directors of this film (who also directed CA Winters Soldier) other previous track record was "You, me and Dupree". How far have they gone. I thought it would be hard for them to beat their previous works on CA Winter Soldiers, but they did it ... by a mile. There are the Russo brothers.

This is close or you may call it an Avengers movie as many super heroes are in it including new one like Black Panther or cross over one like Spidey and AntMan. Iron Man played an integral part in this one. Heard that Robert Downey Jr marketed that he need more air time (of course bigger paycheck) to be in this movie and he did.

The figthing scenes are fantastic yet believable. Before watching this, I thought CA reason to fight IM to defend Bucky was pretty lame. But thanks to good story telling and acting, it was not. You can feel the genuineness of  Cap and even Iron Man to believe what they believe in. The fighting are lightning fast but when they fought it really feels that they want to stop their opponent.

But when it comes to jokes part, it was actually funny. The new young Peter Parker was really the jokester of the movie thou his part was rather small. Whilst Black Panther was serious all the way and scarry too.

One thing I admire about the direction of this one is that Cap has its cap on even when it comes to the heavy dialogue part unlike when he was in the Avengers, there was always a way to loose his cap to expose his face. But not this one.

This is the way to make superhero movie which appeal to the kids and the adults. And when you got results like this you dont have to rethink your movie ratings in order to be succesful like Deadpool was. You dont see head smashed or blood splurting but still you enjoy this one and so did our kids.

This is a 2 hrs 36 mins movie, the longest in Marvel superheroes movies. But when it end, my wife was telling me that she didnt want it to end. And for me I did not sleep the previous night due to overslept the previous day yet I was wide awake enjoying the movie on Sunday Noon. That was how good it was. 

EDDIE THE EAGLE

https://openload.co/f/coLSjpMHomk/eddjhd.hdrp72r6_300mbfilms.org.rar

 REVIEWED

Another thumbs up movie seen and this is based on a true story. Reading the details from IMDB, it was 90% made up ! meaning that the true parts is only 10%. What a shame ! But it really make good entertainment and good movie thou.

The real part of the story is that Eddie Edwards did exist and he was the "star" in 1988 Calgary Winter Olympic Games alongside with another surprise team which was the Bobsleigh from Jamaica also wiith a movie "Cool Runnings" depicting their particpation. Also real was that Eddie strated ski Jumping at a much later age (beyond 22 years old) whereelse others started earlier than 6 years old !

Eddie did made the 90m jump in the Calgary Olympics and that was the first time in his life thou it was a matter of life and death for many athletes. Real also that he finished last in all the event where his personal best in the 90m jump was 71.5 m. Imagine the current record for the event is 251 m !

Now the disappointing part is which was actually the best part of the film was that the character played by Hugh Jackman including his former coach, Chris Walken were fictitious characters ! To me, the movie was very entertaining as HJ was in it. That scene where he was with CW was powerful indeed. And who could forget the part when he showed Eddie how to be better in mid air after the jump with reference to Bo Derek !

Aside from the "dissapointment" part of the film mentioned above, dont forget who Eddie was. His courage and determination were above everything. Very entertaining movie and not forget courageous too.

REVIEWED

Saw this movie as it is about music where Amber Heard and Chris Walken is in it among others. 

Chris Walken is an old crooner who wanted to revive his career and Amber Heard is his daughter.

CW did his singing here and he is good for the type of Frank Sinatra kindda of music. Amber Heard is ok in her singing too. Both of them acted very well and that element is the thing that made the movie interesting and worth seeing. 

Go see this if you want a good father daughter drama story. The music, not so much

TRIPLE 9

https://openload.co/f/ZGrXgYA1e-4/ttntntnt.hdrp72_300mbfilms.org.rar

REVIEWED

This movie has got so many stars in it like Casey Affleck, Gil Gadot, A Mackie, Winslet, Ejiofor,  Aaron Paul, W Harelson and some more.

In this film K Winslet plays the badass Russian Lady Boss and Gil Gadot the sister and marreid to? Ejiofor with a child.

Its about the dirtiest of cops who do work for the Russian mafia. They are definitely in their payroll. Doing things to the point of killing people (thats bad!). 

The action is good and so does the acting. But to me it failed to reach its potential as it haas many stars resulting in too many characters to develop. Its editing of going from one story to another did not help either. And theres that thing that "anybody can die" element of it. If done sparsely is good but done too many times can spoil the movie. Furthermore, making too many plots make the understanding and enjoyment of the movie a little lesser.

But like I said you wont be dissapointed in the action department  and gory too. Watching how some robbers got clumsy after robbing a bank is surprisingly funny to me.. but shit happens.

 REVIEWED

This movie is both directed and written by Ricky Gervais who I dont know is capable of doing those things except for acting and hosting awards show. But he did it and it was a surprise good film for me. Eric Bana was there too acting as an America. Funny during the movie when he was at Ian's (RG character) house he was commenting on the many Marvel collectibles. He happened to be the first movie hulk who got replaced ! EB plays Frank Bonnevile, a radio anchor man of sort.

I wonder whether there are occupation of these kind at this day and age. Radio achors where they convey news to their station broadcasting to radios. I thought that everything is replaced by movie news. So thats wheere Ian Finch(RG) come along as he is the sound engineer following Frank.

This is a comedy film but it does not feel like forcing you to laugh at it and thats a good aspect of it. You laugh as you go along, The story unfold effortlessly.

So thats the review of the movie for if longer it would have spoilers. Theres a very crucial plot which can happen and which is funny.

See this for its comedic nature and laughing without being forced with slapstick.

I AM WRATH

https://openload.co/f/0KFvpIIdvqc/imwrtthh.wb72_300mbfilms.org.rar

REVIEWED

This movie was chosen to view definitely due to John Travolta in it. Rebecca De Mornay was also in it as his wife. And that girl from TV series suit as his daughter acting believable indeed. 

JT obviously had been going thru some kind of Botox or plastic surgery just by looking at his face.

The plot is all too familiar for a movie where in the end you finally knew why what had happened. Corrupted cops where the ordinary citizen had to resort to violence in order to get justice done. Finally crooks discovered that they had ruffled the wrong feathers and this happen to be one who had special set of skills. He got of hold of his colleague and off they go through town with a vengeance.

How the movie was titled and which he had also tattooed the same word on the whole of his back just because of a phrase from the bible that was left open when he threw the bible to the floor. That was pretty convenient. People may think that this is some horror movie or something.

To me JT did not come that strong as the vagilante. He could have donned a mask and become Batman would have been more appealing. But why he decided its time to go is not real to me. Through out the movie he did not potray as that kind of guy unlike Punisher in DD2. If Punisher you know that he is asking for it. But this one did not gave that to me.

See this if you like to see a shoot shoot bang bang movie. JT had acted more convincingly as the bad guy in many other movies he was in like Face Off, Swordfish, the Pelham movie and others.

FINEST HOURS

REVIEWED 

I did not expect the film to get a 1 thumbs up baldy.. but it did.

This is one movie that I wished I had seen it at the movies. Why ? Because of the boat vs waves scenes. It looks good on the TV screen and what if I saw this, with the sound effects, at the cinema. It must be really something. I remember watching Perfect Storm with the same element of Boat against the waves. But that was a fishing boat which eventually sunk and it was not even so many or big waves. But watch this film and see how a Lefe Guard boat battles the impossible against the odds against the waves. Many times you thought the boat had it but it kept on going and going. As this was based on a true story, the events really happened. So you never can argue its just a movie.

It has Chris Pine who played an opposite version of James T Kirk in terms of character. CP is so timid and follow the book kindda of lifeguard that you thought he would not make it. But his spirit and boldness is somewhat like JTK he played in Star Trek.

The event occurred in 1952 where an oil vessel was cut in half and just waiting for the time when this half sink. Its distress signal was picked up by a nearby LifeGuard base headed by the reluctant leader Eric Bana.Although he gave the order for CP to go out for rescue he could have said no or make an excuse that he tried but the sea was too rough. But he did not do any of those and with 3 men set to sea for the rescue.

The 30 over men on board the halved vessel was headed by reluctant Casey Affleck. He lead the guys not because of his leadership but as he was the only one who had knowledge.

Luck play a lot in the rescue mission as the boat's compass was defective along the way. How they found the halved vessel and how they got back to their port.

For the record, this rescue of 32 lives in a small boat still remain the record in the US naval history.

See this movie to witness the power of the human spirit.

THE BOSS

https://openload.co/f/rXKTMpvZMGs/The.Boss.2016.HC.HDRip.XViD.AC3-ETRG.avi.mp4

REVIEWED

This is a comedy film starring Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Bell and Peter Dinklage. Much have been said about MM. Some would say some of her films are good like Spy some (in fact many) are not so good. Not so good as she tend to be over the top at times. So I dont know what to expect of The Boss either to be entertain with comedies or irritate with idiotic rants.

Wel it turn out this film is not so bad. Noticed that MM is always wearing a dress that covers her neck. Maybe the wardrobe dept wanted her to be like that to look rich as her character or something else which I dont really bother.

I think MM pulled it off by being a good business woman - how well she spotted a potential business and then analysis on future potential success is good. Also when she sold the business and how they got it back is also good requiring slapstick which add points on the comedic nature of the movie.

Recommended this movie for those expecting comedy as it is some sort of sarcastic comedy. There is a moral to the story of having no family and going from one foster parents to another.

MIDNIGHT SPECIAL

https://openload.co/f/Bd41JoNWpUs/mdngspccl.wbrp72r6_300mbfilms.org.rar

REVIEWED

Notable names in this movie were hardworking Michael Shannon, versatile Joel Edgerton and looks kindda old Kristen Durst. Dont forget the nerdy Kylo Ren, Adam Driver

I chosed to see this movie because of the actors and also the good rating in IMDB. Not forgetting the interesting plot and the trailers. So it was some expectation indeed for the film to bring on. From the beginning the suspense was good as we dont know who these people are (kidnappers?) and what this kid has. From the trailer it looks like some super natural being film. The background music was effective too. Kindda of techno and manage to keep the pacing just right.

Then as you get along and things start to reveal themselves, you were hoping it could have been better ! Even the crooks are "good enough" to tie you up instead of killing with a bullet thou they can do it anytime. 

But when the movie ends, to me, it was such a waste on what it could have become.

See this for good acting but with a script that did not hit mark.

DIRTY GRANDPA

https://openload.co/f/MZpT7b8JJZU/drtyygrdpaa.hdrp72_300mbfilms.org.rar

REVIEWED

This movie have De Niro and Efron in the lead roles. Most people, I think, chosed to see this movie because of who in it rather than whats in it. 

I wish it was a better comedy but unfortunately it seem to be concentrating on other things to make it more marketable such as ZE's body and ass. It has so much dirty jokes and dirty scripts and plots that for sure it is not mend for the kids. Like the title it is a "Dirty" movie. Thou De Niro as the grandpa can be considered as cool, the term "dirty" apply applied here. From his previous movies so far, I think Zac's is being stereo typed as an actor who must show off his body to sell. Thats kindda of lame. As for RDN, its another one of those "passing" movies he want to get involved in.

See it for a session of "dirty" comedies. It could have been more effective if the focus is on the comedy and not on being dirty to be a comedy.

ALL THINGS MUST PASS

REVIEWED:

This is nothing more than a nostalgic documentary on Tower Records which was very big in the 70's and 80's when the vinyl's industry was at its peak. It has lot of interviews with the founders, managers and employees. How the business bloomed from an idea was interesting thou. Its record stores were gigantum where an inside look of it showed like a factory where famous celebrities once visited even those from Britain including Elton John and Jimmy Page. Thats shows how big it was.

Well it met its demise when people can download music from the internet or perhaps earlier than that when people can copy the originals on CDs and still mantain its quality.

Come to think of it "How do musician survive these days. When their effort can be robbed in seconds of piracy ?"

This documentary is good for those who wants to walk down memory lane. 

ZOOTOPIA

https://openload.co/f/-DH_jQFyOPA/Zootopia_2016_HD-TS_x264_AC3-CPG.mkv.mp4

REVIEWED
Saw this movie right after Gods Of Egypt at MBO, Brem Mall. Just a gap of 10mins enough for me to decide whether to see this (if I still got movie stamina). This one was at Theater No 9 while GOE at Theater 7. It was really a treat for me when watching GOE as I was the only one in the cinema. For Zootopia, I shared the movie with a family sitting 1 row in front of me. All 2 adults and their 4 small kids.
Thank you to MBO for treating 2 free movies every year for her member's birthday month. Of course the movie must be with a star (*) i.e when the movie is already "old" or about 2 weeks old. Thats OK for me.

I remember commenting that MBO cinemas audio is not good when watching London has Fallen. Well it seem that, Theater 5 (LHF) which we saw might have a sound defect or the technician forgot to turn on the bass ! As for both movies today, it was good (not very good). The visual of Zootopia was excellent as it was cartoon.

OK back to the movie Zootopia..
This movie has a "Buy on BlueRay" rating from Youtube movie critique Jermy Jahn Thats the highest of his rating whilst GOE got his "Dogshit", the worst one.

As for me my smiley - it could have been better. But nearly got the thumbs up.

What I like is about the diversfying animals and characters in this movie. Unlike we homosapien, its hard to diversify who we are as after all we are all human. The only diversification is the color of the skin or fat and thin and thats about it. But in Zootopia the diversification is immense every animal has its characterisitics and the creator had succesfully nailed it. And thats what make it interesting.

The story evolve on Judy Hoops a bunny female who became the first bunny cop. She befriended a Fox who was a swindler. It was this 2 who tried to solve a case which noone ever thought they could. The interesting part is through out this quest they met with other animals.

The main segregation of the animals is who are the predators (tiger, lion, fox, crocodile etc etc) and the preys (bunny, hen, giraffe etc etc).. So the story is about the problem of trust that started to develop between this two types due to some sabotage.

This movie is cute with very nice cartoons and even camera taking. Although it has a good plot maybe its not big enough to be carried as a movie. Maybe thats just me. Then I discovered why, as the movie was initially intended to emphasize on Fox rather than the bunny. But due to differing test audience response they redraw and made the bunny as main and Fox secondary. I am glad that they took this decision. Nevertheless, that made the movie kind of no fixed direction. If the story without the Fox (even as Secondary) and they make Judy Hoops the main character, though this is difficult, the movie would be better. No matter, Fox (Nick Wilde) is an interesting guy too but when he is with Judy, I think I lost the concentration on Judy. Its a children's movie, BTW. Who cares ! 

But that is OK only that it could have been better.

REVIEWED

This is one movie which had been condemned by reviewers on the internet so bad. Some say its not funny at all some say this is end of spoofs films as it is so bad that no one wold take the risk of making spoofs film anymore. Well, well, well.. I beg to differ. Its not that I am trying to tell that a movie is good when its bad or vice versa. I will tell from my own experience of watching a movie. Non of us are the same thats for sure and it may as well be in watching movies. Some would say a movie is bad when he or she has no interest in it in the first place or having a bad day when watching it or simply trying to be different that everyone else. Well that aint me. I will give credit when credit is due and vice versa.

First, the download copy of the link above is not that good. The images is sharp but darker and the sound is obviously taken from a cinema. But its much better than the average cinema (or toilet video) copy.Sometimes the audio is out of sync but still it did not spoil the fun watching it.

What are the known names in the movie for me ? Marlon Wayans in the leading role of course, Jane Seymour as his mother (obviously adopted)and his adopted father looks familiar. Russel Peters also made a brief appearance. Not familiar with Hanna Steal but she did a good impression in mannerism of  Dakota Johnson's character, the Grey's version of this movie. However this girl is a bit heavier. 

This is a spoof film and everybody knows that from the film's title right up to some of the shots in the film and also the dialogue and script. I wonder if this film could be sue by the original version producer ? And in the movie you also have spoofs from "Magic Mike", "Zero Dark Thirty" and other movies.

Lots of vulgar, obscene jokes and body anatomies in this one including penis and balls. The strength of the jokes were the slapsticks but most of the times in the dialogue too. Its one of the better spoofs movie I have seen. Those I saw before this showed that they are cheap low budget movies but this one is not that. Yeh (spoiler) Christine took Hanna in a bus instead of a helicopter to his apartment the first time, thats how they maintain the budget down but you dont see dolls and effects that made it low class and low budget like other spoofs movie.

I really laugh at some of the jokes and giggle at others. But it was actually fun watching it. But to do that just forget about what others are telling and dont expect too much out of this but to me it delivered.

Hei, even the original version "50 shades of Grey" was also condemn by the reviewers, some respected reviewers named it the worst film of 2015 ! Are you kidding me ! Then how come its got $600mil (if i am not mistaken) in ticket sales. Let see some of the overrated 8.0 IMDB ratings do that !

ALLEGIANT - cinema

REVIEWED
Got the chance to see this movie at a good theater of GSC in Tropicana City Mall yesterday with my son Adam. Why so ?

Well I manage to get 2 tickets free show from a relative and so there we were spending it for this movie. It could have Kung fu Panda 3 but then I had seen it, pity to my son for not seeing it, I decided to watch this one instead. I expected we could be both not enjoying it at all. But surprise, surprise.. it did not and it got even a thumbs up for my smiley. Even my son enjoyed it and he had no clue what this was all about as it is the 3rd segment of the Divergent series.

The plus point for this movie on this outing is that we saw it at a good theater GSC, the sound is first class when compared to TGV movies and superior tol MBO movies. The minus point to counter that was that I was wearing a below perfect vision spectacles due to my eye infection. So this should balance out each other to give a fair opinion of the movie, for me  :)

I know the movie reviews on it is not too promising. But who cares as they had been proven wrong from time to time. We are the one to enjoy not they. If they did not and we did, thats too bad. Same when its the other way round, we see movie based on their good opinion and we end up not enjoying. So whos to blame ?

Now let us get to the nitty grities of this movie.
I am not a craxy fan of the Divergent. Happened to saw them on download movies (thank god the good version ones). The previous one has Kate Winslet as the bad ass administrator and for this one you have Jeff Daniels as the bad ass Director. A different looking Niomi Watts was also in this one.

The able acting heroine Shailene Woodley was as always head the cast. Previous comments on her on this movie series that she tend to overact as thou to win an oscar (which she could but not in this movie series). Fortunately this one she did not which is good. If not, she would felt akward when compared to the rest of the cast.BTW, there was a scene where she was stripped naked bathing to clean off toxic gasses and sediments.

This movie is in the genre of Young adult film like The Hunger Games and Maze Runner and many more. What I like it better than the others even its predecesors, it has the techno part right and no overdressing or overacting like the yucky Hunger Games. The special effect is also good and the plot interesting. The pacing is all right and even through out the movie. You wont hear complaints that the film brought us to sleep in the first part but was ok in the 2nd part. The action was great too. So what is there to complain ?

The Whiplash/Fant4tic guy Miles Teller is in here and very effective.

For sure there will be the 4th instalment coming and JD remain alive and ready to avenge another day. 

So thats one good unexpected cinema movie that I saw.

REVIEWED

This is a movie that everybody has been waiting for, 3 years including myself. So got the chance to see it at the cinema with family on a Sunday morning show as the tickets are cheaper.

Like I mentioned before when Man of Steel came out, you just cant compare a DC comic movie, at least the one directed by Zack Synder, with a Marvel comic book movie.

I saw many people got this wrong when small kids started to cry as they became restless because this movie is not meant for them to enjoy like they might thought with the Avengers. And I stand corrected again in this one. The direction in this movie is for Adults to enjoy if they understand and if they like the super heroes in the first place. If they expect a straight forward bash em up movie like The Avengers, then they are in the wrong cinema. The movie has that same form of direction  like other ZS's movies like Watchmen, Man of Steel, Sucker Punch, 300 to name a few. I dont think everybody like it like the kids who expect to be enjoyed or the parents who might not enjoyed with the kids they brought along. Then this disappointment bring about the complaints that it is not to their expectations.

Before wathcing this, I got the chance to read some reviews from other revieweres. True the film suffers because it was mend to be a platform to build on the Justice League and worse the decision to cut it to 2hrs 20 mins from the original 3 hrs had affected the story telling significantly. You can feel that its editing is too fast from one scene to another and failed in momentum building. But for the current length it was a drag to many and what if it was 3 hours, it might be a pain. People come to be entertain and not be acknowledge, I think that was the reason.

I can say that this is a Batman movie where Superman and Wonder woman are his guests. Its not a Superman movie with the others are his guests, like I initially thought. But in this one, Batman has been rebranded to the Ben Afflecks version. So I think thats what the director was trying to do. And that took quite a chunk of the movie.

Without Kryptonite, SM is league ahead of BM. He could have killed BM when they first accidently met but he didnt.

The action was very good but BM looks fatter still in the armoured suit. His BatJet and BatCar is also formidable. His fight without the suit was more real than Christian Bale's Batman.

The fights of the two was both made possible thorugh the mastermind of Lex Luthor. But that also brought the two super heroes understand one another. The hate that BM had for SM was real due to action beyond SM control.

There's a very big surprise at the end of the movie which follows what the comic book story plot. But dont worry theres plenty to come.

So thats the review. As for me, I enjoyed the parts where the fights are. As the rest of it I apprecitae for the initiative to create the tension between those two and thats bring down the excitability of the movie. But as I said this is a Zack Snyder Super Hero movie so dont expect a Josh Whedon's Avenger's will ya.

I hope I got to see the directors cut 3 hours version in the future in the form of BluRay.  

GODS OF EGYPT - Cinema

REVIEWED
This movie received huge critics on the internet. Being rated as "Dogshit", waste of time and plenty more. One critic headline says "Why did i go and see it?". Well are they refering to the same movie or did I watched a different one as I give a Thumbs up for it ! Well if the well known Youtube critic give a "Dogshit" for Transformers Age of Extinction, who give a damn when he gave this one too. Yet Zootopia was given a "BlueRay" which I will also reviewed after this one for I saw both of them on the same day.

Watching this film you know that a big part of it depend on how CGI was applied. If its good, then anything the producers create would be believable. If otherwise, it will really hurt the enjoyment. For this one, the SpecialEfx is good. Watching it on big screen you can decide if its good or bad. Example if you compare Transformers movie with a SyFy production movie, then you know what I meant.Its good as watching Gods fly in this movie is not funny but thrilling.

I also appreciate the fighting chereograph - its fun. I did commented that The Last Witchunter had good fighting chereography but the camera editing and capture was poor. Not this one. Its easy to understand the fluidity of the fights. Bravo !

Theres a few big stories to tell in this movie and in the end I was satisfied and I understood what they are. I can say that its closure is good even if the God King flew away for another mission (wont spoil that). The plot is good and it answers what one can do for love. One message from this movie that apply to real life or religous belief was that during this time you can go to heaven with gold and money but not after Horus became God King.  Which is after all what all Religions believe.

The chemistry between The one eyed God (Horus) and Bek the mortal is also good. They carry the meaning of friendship quite deep. Some jokes between them are funny.

My only complaint is the background music just like the last Witch Hunter, it was overly done. Every minute has music which makes the movie cheap. If they had avoided this then it would be better.

The cast is mostly unknown except of course for Gerard Butler who plays a bad god (Set), his father Ra who is an established English actor. Electra is in this one too as The Godess of Love. Quite different than on TV, pretier. Shes a mixed of French and Vietnamese. GB is really a bad God ass in this one.

So thats my review. Definitely require your time at the cinema to enjoy the extravaganza time of Egypt. Hear peoples view as 2nd opinion only not for this movie only but everything else. After experiencing it, decide how good or bad it is. Nothing is the same for every one.

Zootopia review up next.
