i’d give the movie 9/10

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’d give the movie 8/10

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.

i’d give the movie 6/10

I saw this film this week in my PC, i think it’s funny and Maybe to some people doesn’t like it coz Mike Myers style comedy. I dont realy like the other Mike’s movies but i kind enjoy his movie this time ^_^.

This film is not meant to be taken seriously for it’s plot. It’s a Mike Myers film, you go to his films to see a lot of funny puns, quirky jokes, and humorous and sometimes unreal circumstances. Do not enter this movie expecting:

-A fantastic movie, cinema quality

Go expecting:

-A fun time -Frequent good laughs -Mike Myers style comedy .

At one point it feels like a bollywood movie but I liked how the Indian culture was represented here .hmm.. if u like bollywood movie style? watch this movie.

This movie is nothing more than the material for a one-hour series show stretched into a 2-1/4 hour movie. What i think about this movie?? ……hmmm…. Is it predictable? Yes. Is it just a longer episode of the TV show? Yes. Is it funny? Depends. If you like the show, you’ll laugh ; if you don’t, you won’t. Simple as that.

Here at the movie, we are talking about New York! there is no misery, there are plenty of money all the time, parties every day, really expensive clothes, houses, cars…wow, what a world!!

(i wish live in the world like that!) LOL.

but, I still enjoy this movie and like it.

My Comment :

i’d give the movie 4/10

When I saw the trailer for ‘The Happening’, I was quite excited
I really wanted to like this film. I have heard early bad reviews from my friends. Alas they were right. I’m so sorry I doubted you DeSudik and the others!

I have never liked any of M. Nigh Shyamalan’s movies, but at least the others were tolerable. The movie was Flat but somehow is an underlying message to the American public to fight global warming so that we don’t anger the local fauna. You’re better off watching “An Inconvenient Truth,” as it has the same message.

They did a great job with the trailer, wish i could say the same about the movie it self..

arghhh………….

i’d give the movie 5/10

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

I have to say that this movie was not what i expected. Even though i have not read the book the fact that from the beginning credits i noticed Dream works had something to do with the filming, so i thought hey this shouldn’t be bad, well i was so wrong.

I love the horror genre, I know this is supposed to be a horror movie, however it was hard to identify anything horrific in this movie .

a plant mimicking a cell phone sound or peoples voices is just too much to be believed. I didn’t understand why they didn’t just throw the vines and hit all the villagers? Once they saw Mr. Man kill the kid, don’t you think that would have been a sign…? arghhhh…….

My Comment :

i think the movie is good enough

i’d give the movie 7/10

it’s so stupid that it turns out funny

The film’s about two strangers who meet in Las Vegas and, after a drunken night out, wake up the next morning married to each other. They plan to divorce, but when Jack (Ashton Kutcher) lands a jackpot on the slots machine using Joy’s (Cameron Diaz) ….They agree to divorce and split the money, but the Judge doesn’t concede it to them, and force them to live together for 6 months, in order to make them try to succeed their marriage. It’s the beginning of a living hell to them, because they can’t stand each other…

The movie is a romantic comedy. but it’s pretty predictable. There are some funny moments in the movie but as soon as it’s over you forget what you were laughing at.

Synopsis :

Ben ‘Finn’ Finnegan (Matthew McConaughey) is a modern-day treasure hunter searching for the legendary Spanish treasure “Queen’s Dowry” that was lost at sea in the Caribbean in 1715. Finn is totally obsessed with finding the gold treasure, even to the point of losing his wife, Tess (Kate Hudson). Presently, Tess is in the Caribbean working as a steward on a yacht owned by millionaire Nigel Honeycutt (Donald Sutherland). Tess is divorcing Finn and wants to sell the salvage boat so she can go back to college and finish her degree. After 8 long years, Finn finally finds a piece of a broken plate from the sunken treasure ship. Finn now needs another ship to search for the treasure so he smooth talks his way on board Nigel’s yacht. Finn is able to convince Nigel and his ditzy daughter Gemma (Alexis Dziena) to join him in his quest for the treasure. Tess is once again pulled into the hunt and joins the new treasure hunters.

My Comment

This movie try turn a romantic comedy and action packed thriller, but fails. The script was written like a sinetron (that they call in my country :P) that jumps all over the place. The problem with “Fools Gold”. It’s just so predictable. You can even see in the trailer how the movie ends T_T. i think the movie was little bit cliché. Fool’s Gold is a comedy which did not produce me any laughs ,the action scenes are not exciting and the villains from this movie are so stupid.
