i’d give the movie 6/10

i was expecting more to this movie because I love the previous 2 movies!. well I did enjoy it but not as much as the previous 2.it becomes clear that it was the incredible CGI effects that pretty becomes the whole movie, because the acting falls on a dead plate. Unbelievable, I just wanted to get up and leave the theater. Bad Acting to Some Acting and then No Acting pretty much sums up this movie. It would have been fun to have the budget they had spent on this movie and put it towards something more entertaining. Stock up on Popcorn, Candy & Drinks to help you make it through the movie. This is one movie that you don’t have to worry about missing anything important just because you have to take a bathroom break. The nice thing about it is that you can take a break anywhere during the movie and not miss anything.

The mummy storyline has now been repeated again in this film (Some idiot opens the tomb, the mummy comes back to life and wants to take over the world, and the good guys stop it and save the day).

Went to see Meet Dave with no expectations at all.The reviews I read already told me that it was a below average movie but it was an Eddie Murphy movie, one of my favorite actors, and I give it a chance and to be honest, I had fun with it. It isn’t the greatest comedy or less but it has some funny moments, the visual effects are kinda cool and the story looked interesting. The plot about a man that emerge from a fireball from outer space, turns to be a spaceship with hundreds of little people trying to save their planet was at least decent.It has nice landscapes with locations all around New York City. The cast is mainly from barely known actors with the exception of Eddie Murphy whose performance is worthy just because of all his gestures. Elizabeth Banks was okay and Pat Kilbane as a gay alien was a little overacted but hilarious. My conclusion is that if you wanna go and see this movie, go with your brain disconnected and enjoy

“WALL·E” is everything we’ve come to expect from Pixar and more- colorful, vibrant, imaginative, exciting, involving, beautiful, and most importantly a film with interesting, involving characters. Sure, WALL·E is adorable, and as much credit as the animators get for that, this film would be nothing without Stanton’s screenplay, which features very little dialogue but is still notably intelligent and surprisingly subtle, making a refreshing change from the ‘go green’ campaigns we’re all so used to. Does “WALL·E” have a message? Sure, but it’s an important message and it is delivered subtly and beautifully.

The movie Wall-E is a touching work of science fiction that manages to bridge the gap between child and adult.Bringing into perspective moral conflicts of consumerism and big business, the film displays an ominous conclusion for the Earth we live in today. All this stands in stark contrast to the robot himself, who demonstrates a loving personality and emotions such as curiosity, empathy, and loneliness. It is hard not to be drawn in to Wall-E’s charm.

Definitely recommended for young and old alike fast-food culture, and our increasing dependence on technology. LOL

i was expecting more when i watch this movie. To me, this movie is a big over-hype disappointment! Romance of Three Kingdoms is such great story based on history.

There were some pacing problems in this movie :

1. The part of Zhou Yu and Zhu-Ge Liang playing musical instrument and the final battle scene was also overly long.It just go on and on, and I was really bored!
2.Action choreography was boring, and stupid sometime! Action choreographer Corey Yuen seem not sure whether to design it as fantasy martial art form or realistic martial art form, and some scene is just ridiculous!
3.the scenes with the shields reflecting sunlight The shields are a clever move, but you don’t have to basically repeat 2 shots (soldiers turning their shield, the horses go wild) twenty times.
4.little annoyed with the final fight sequence.when cao cao’s cavaliers trapped in the Formation of Eight Trigrams. what is the point to make a battle sequence like 20 minutes long which is not even a main event in the whole battle, with so many soldiers doing the same moves again and again.and make it unrealistic as well as too long

It’s a great story, well chosen characters — most of the actors/actresses suit the characters of each role. Maybe Woo can pay more attention to the war scenes for the next episode!!!

I knew that this was going to be crazy. And sure enough, it was. But you know what, I liked it, my friend liked it, it was a good time i had. I wanted to laugh, and this movie did just that for me and more! Being from Israel, I found his jokes funny and very witty. I don’t know if none-Israeli’s would find half the jokes funny though.

The movie is very creative. The plot itself is magnificent and priceless. and What I loved about this movie, was that the jokes never stopped coming. I’ve watched many of Sandlers movies, many of them have long breaks of nothing much to get in stitches about.

Adam Sandler he loves to put himself in ridiculous situations. This is an Adam Sandler movie and we all know what he’s like and what type of humor we’re going to expect…..and this movie is no different.

If you want to spend an hour or two snickering and have an open mind, give Zohan a shot. Don’t expect an evolution of comedy. Don’t expect the bar to be raised, because that’s not what this film was trying to do. It was trying to be ridiculous and make people utter that ever so fantastic groaning-giggle followed by the heart chuckle.

I wasn’t expecting much from it, it just looked like another rip off of a hundred other romantic comedies. but I actually really liked the entire way through and it kept my interest the whole time! Although I enjoyed the movie and i realise this movie little cliché.

The plot has already been seen plenty of times and will continue to be seen plenty of more times, but that doesn’t really matter does it? It’s the classic story of one person figuring he’s in love with someone and then desperately trying to “get” his love before it’s too late. Once again in these types of movies, it isn’t the story that’s important, it’s the execution.

It’s Just WOW. This film just blew me away.This piece of art… its phenomenal !! From the scale, to the acting, the atmosphere, the music, the action, it’s all art. I have not experienced this level of greatness in the cinema for a long time. This film is the darkest Batman, as well as one of the darkest, violent and gripping films, ever made.

The Dark Knight is stunning. For as much action as there is in this movie, it’s the acting that makes it a great piece of work. Between all the punches, explosions and stunt-work is some great dialog work. All the actors have their moments. it’s hard to find a weak point.

And i think This is the perfect Joker portrayal ever.

Bravo to Nolan and all his crew for giving a movie that Batman truly deserves.

The only thing i can say about this film in the end is just watch it! Even if you hate Batman, you will love this film. If you don’t, then something be wrong with you!

I must say i had expectations about this movie. The trailer was good, and all that “the new matrix” thing caught my attention

i like this movie for some point:

-Great special FX
-enjoyable in its strong points
-The main hero was very nice in his role.

The most interesting thing about the plot is the Loom of Fate ,curving bullets around corners and “Jolie” …..
About the loom of fate, I thought it was wonderful how the Loom chooses the next line of people will be killed. In the ending, you realize that even if you’re meant to be killed and you avoid it, it will be inevitable, due to fate.

Don’t try to analyze what you see, while you are in the cinema, just watch and you’ll feel yourself inside the constant action.

Hancock is a brilliant and elegant movie. Full of laugh out loud comedy and great action. Secondly it gives a different vibe on the normal superhero movie. Will Smith as the Superhero who needs a makeover. It’s a serious take on a dysfunctional superhero that isn’t based upon a Marvel Comics or DC Comics character. It’s more about what would happen if someone with superheroes was around in modern times, and that is what makes it interesting. If there’s some property damage done while catching criminals.

Don’t go to Hancock thinking you are seeing another Superman, Fantastic 4, Ironman ,Hulk and Batman. The superhero angle is treated much differently here. and I like Will Smith’s films.
