Review: "Kung Fu Cyborg: Metallic attraction DVD review"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Warning: This is not action-packed either does it contain amazing action like Transformers. Named as the chinese's Transformers, it is obviously no match for Michael Bay's Transformers. Transfomers has a massive budget of US$150 million and Kung Fu Cyborg only has a budget of around US$14 million. There is a big difference. In Transformers, you get to see realistic CGI robots. In this, you get to see cheap CGI robots. Even its story, this is not match for Transfomers. Transformers has a fun story line with some humerous jokes and is action-packed. This is a slow romance story with robots as its sub plot. So don't expect this to be as explosive as Transfomers.
The story: It is a slow-paced romance story with love and love...yawn. If you cant sit still for at least half an hour, you will be rewarded and get to see cheap-ass CGI robots fighting. They have to make use of the title, Kung Fu. There are three main action scenes, first not very good and the second is okay-robots are fighting. The third is the last battle between good and evil which is just okay and not very outstanding. La-la-la...love is everywhere...why does this have to be romance. Can't it be a comedy? At least, i will get a bit amused. Yeah, this does contain some slap-your-ass jokes but I am not even amused. Put in more effort!
Overall: Yep, it is not so bad but it is disappointing and a little boring. At least, the chinese tried to make a robot movie on their own. The best part of this is the action scenes. Other than that, you skip it. I did not quite enjoy it but at least, I was the slight entertained. Korea is coming up its robot movie too. Awesome!

DVD special features-Rating: 2.9/5
The Hong Kong DVD edition features a making of (30 minutes) and trailers. The making of is entertaining, it makes the movie seems like an action movie. Nice to see some goofing around and some deleted scenes which I have not seen in the movie. Trailers include its trailer and two other previews (3 minutes). So sad that they are not equipped with english subtitles.

Rating: 3.6/5 Review: "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D season 2 TV review" Season 2 has improved greatly. Starting straight from the massive cliffhanger in season 1, season 2 is more tense, action-packed, darker and better paced. I think season 1 took its time to introduce its characters before diving into the action. The time is spread out to individual characters' development. More twists and turns make the season a stark improvement. Episode 1-22: Skye has discovered her powers and is learning how to cope with it. Meanwhile, the team has its problems. Coulson seems to be hiding secrets. In fact, everybody has secrets. More powers are unleashed. It is a little surprising that Marvel is bold enough to veer the series to a darker tone by amping up the number of deaths and more violence. The whole season has little humour and moves at a brisk pace without really pausing. As the tension between human and superhuman increases by each episode, it is an exciting season that w

Rating: 3.5/5 Review: "From Vegas To Macau 2 movie review" "Loads of fun in Wong Jing's bigger sequel." Wong Jing is back with more madness, action, explosion and a longer runtime. As every sequel tries to top its original in every way, From Vegas To Macau 2 is no different. Lots of explosion, lots of wacky humour and more CGI, if these are your entertainment, the movie will do you no wrong. From the opening gun fight to the CGI climax, the story is kept brisk to keep your attention in check. The story: Chow Yun-fat is back as the titular gambler, Ken, with the magic hand. This time, the movie exaggerates his skills with CGI poker cards until it almost becomes a fantasy. But that's to be expected in a Wong Jing's movie. This time, the location is shifted to Thailand where Mark (Nick Cheung), an accountant in a money-laundering syndicate, DOA, is chased by Interpol and DOA. Ken has to save him and help his protege, Vincent (Shawn Yue). Wong Ji

Rating: 4/5 Review: "The Hobbit: An unexpected Journey 3D movie review" This is the highly anticipated prequel to The Lords of the Ring movies. As a stand alone movie, it does pretty well to engage audiences with its great special effects and fantasy creatures. I cannot compare this with the first trilogy as I can hardly remember it although I will catch it later. But as it seems, this is more lighter than the serious first trilogy. Sure this has its fair share of intense battles but this is more light-heart. The story: With a runtime of 2 hours and 49 minutes, you can be sure that this will take its sweet time to get the adventure going which is true. After a brief action-packed introduction, the movie moves slower. The first half and hour sees a hobbit's unwillingness to go for an adventure as the other dwarves plan to steal their treasures and take what is rightfully theirs. After the hobbit agrees, the fantasy adventure starts and following it are dangers.
