The Dark Knight Rises Review.
Watched the Dark Knight Rises starring Christian Bale, Michael Caine,
Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. The film was amazing
and very entertaining to watch, but it doesn't quite meet the high
standard set by its predecessor. I thought the film was very overlong
and the tone of the film was very light compare to The Dark Knight. I
did enjoy the special and visual effects of the film,
which were very magnificent and powerful. I also thought the
script/dialogue was well put together, but there were a few plot holes
in the script. The film drags a tad in the middle of the film and the
film was kind of predictable and cliché. I really enjoyed the twist and
turns of the film and some parts were much unexpected. Christopher Nolan
did just a brilliant and mesmerizing film as the director of the film.
Nolan in fact concluded the film very simply great. I never liked the
character of Bane because there is nothing to do with that character.
Bane’s character is more like a big bull dog protector, but I did enjoy
who was the real villain mastermind and Bane’s puppet master. I also
enjoyed Christian Bale’s top of his game performance of Bruce
Wayne/Batman. He brought this emotion and vulnerability to the
character, which makes it his best overall performance in his career. I
believe he will be nominated for an Academy Award. Michael Caine was
just amazing and wonderful actor. Anne Hathaway gave a great performance
as Selina Kyle/Catwoman. I thought Hathaway gave a way better
performance than Halle Berry’s version, but not as exceptional and very
hard to top Michelle Pfeiffer’s version. Tom Hardy was excellent as the
watch dog Bane. Hardy embodies the physicality of the character, and
brought such an evil presence to the character. Joseph Gordon-Levitt was
just a great addition to the film and I knew from the first time he
appear on screen that he’s going to be Robin. I thought the action
sequences were very well executed and well choreographed. I thought the
cinematography was awesome and I found the last 45 minutes of the film
to be the strongest act. The twists, turns and reveals are first-rate. I
still believe to be an awesome farewell to the conclusion of this
amazing story telling by Nolan. I will give it a B.
The Amazing Spider-Man Review.
Watched the Amazing Spider-Man starring Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone,
Rhys Ifans and Sally Field. I thought the film was very entertaining
and very fun to watch. The film was grittier, darker, and smarter but I
still thought it was too soon to reboot the Spider-Man Franchise. The
film does deliver some great special effects and visual effects with the
action being well-choreographed, with tight cinematography
to boost. The film did lack with the script/dialogue department because
the script is so full of plot conveniences and half-baked elements that
it truly feels like this script was subjected to many rewrites. I also
thought the film revisited many of the same plot points from 2002's
Spider-Man. The film did not have a well establish character
development. I really did enjoy the incredible performances by Andrew
Garfield and Emma Stone. They had a strong and beautiful chemistry
together. Andrew Garfield gives an extraordinary performance, he has
the humor, heart and charisma that make the character work. Martin Sheen
was excellent. Emma Stone was remarkable. Dennis Leary was terrific.
Rhys Ifans was magnificent. Marc Webb who directing the film actually
did a excellent job creating this visionary of a film. I still thought
the film was very remarkably good despite its rater annoying change-ups
and too-fast-to-make-sense script. I will give it a B-.

Prometheus Review.
Watched Prometheus starring the original Girl with the Dragon Tattoo's
Noomi Rapace, Micheal Fassbener and Charlize Theron. I actually thought
the film was amazing, although it does not have a clear plot and the
film leaves too many questions unanswered. I was just completely
captivated with the strong performances by the three leads which were
Noomi Rapace, Micheal Fassbener and Charlize Theron. I
thought the visual and special effects were very well done and very
spectacular. I thought the film was brilliantly directed by Ridley Scott
who shoot every scene with such visionary and dark atmosphere. It has a
little problem with the script and dialogue, but this movie was written
very creatively haunting. Noomi Rapace actually reminded me of Ripley
played by Sigourney Weaver in the original Alien, such a great
portrayal of a strong and fearless heroine. Some scenes were very
grotesque and jaw dropping. Overall It was a awesome Sci-Fi movie I have
seen in a long time. I will give it an A.

Men in Black III Review.
Watched Men In Black 3 starring Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones and Josh Brolin. I thought the movie was very entertaining and fun. The film is not funny at all mostly the jokes were very flat and unoriginal. It had a good plot, but the script and dialogue was written lazy and rushed. The script and dialogue was full with half-baked ideas and missed opportunities. The two elements I like from the film was the whole the time-travel element which is used to change the film's scenery to the "Mad Men" like setting of 60's New York. The second was Josh Brolin's dead-on impression of Tommy Lee Jones. Brolin does steal the show and gave an excellent perfermance in the film. The action sequences was amazing and fun to look at. This film was much more better than the second one. The special effects and visual effects were very awesome and just plain well done. The film was directed very well and it was very perfectly cast. I will give it a B-.

The Descendants Review
Watched The Descendants starring George Clooney, Shailene Woodley, Judy Greer, Matthew Lillard and Beau Bridges. I thought the film was amazing and a very well made film. The film features some fantastic acting from Clooney which was very superb, while Shailene Woodley in particular comes out of nowhere and steals every scenes very effortlessly. The film does a beautiful accomplishment is its melding of humor and dark cynicism into a fascinating, realistic portrayal of humanity in general. Director/co-writer Alexander Payne did such an incredible job in managing to make the film to be cynical and sweet at the same time and filming every nice scenery of Hawaii very beautifully scene by scene. I thought the characters and story was wonderful and real. the character development and the story itself are well structured and beautifully well written. I just thought the film was just a masterpiece, honest , and very emotional of the exploration of death, adultery, and parental responsibility. I will give it an A++++.

The Hunger Games Review
Watched The Hunger Games starring Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, and Woody Harrelson. I thought this film was very excellently well done film. Jennifer Lawrence was made to play the role of Katniss Everdeen. She played this role with such vulnerability and toughness for a character who is physically and morally strong. The film had excellent well define supporting players who carve out memorable characters. This film is way smarter and tougher than that crap of the Twilight Saga. There are some parts in the film that drags so much longer than the story requires. the film had an excellent well written script and dialogue with a great direction by Gary Ross. Costumes and makeup are the other strengths of the film because it makes it look very colorful and vibrant that makes the film come to live. The actual hunger games were fucking brutal and very violently bloodthirsty. The film was very entertaining with fun action sequences and crazy teens running around enjoying killing each other for survival. The film succeeds on the strength of its fresh, clearheaded narrative with an excellent music scored that makes the film flow every beautifully. I will give it an A+++.
Wrath of the Titans Review.
Watched Wrath of the Titans starring Sam Worthington, Liam Neeson, Danny Huston, and Ralph Fiennes. I thought the film was way better than Clash of the Titans remake, when it comes to the special effects, sound effects, and action sequences. But, the film suffers from a mediocre and wooden script and dialogue. The horrible acting of it's lead Sam Worthington, because the only one's that did an excellent powerful performances were the supporting cast that includes Liam Neeson, Danny Huston, and Ralph Fiennes. The special effects and visual effects were very amazing and brilliant like the fire and ash monster that is Kronus. I though the film was much more fun and thrilling than its predecessor. The film itself was lacking plot and character development. The only reason to watch this film is for it's special effects, visual effects, action sequences and an awesome conversion of 3D. I will give it a C+.
