Review: "Alice In Wonderland 3D movie review"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am kind of surprised I enjoyed this 3D movie. I actually did not expect much from Tim Burton's movie. I may the only one who is not very interested in his movies. This just pipe my interest as I am interested in seeing how his version of Alice will be like. I went to see it with low expectations and instead I enjoyed it. The 3D effect has helped to enhance the movie by giving the feeling of places in the movie.
The story: It is sort of a sequel but Tim said it is not. So whether it is sequel or not, I look at it as a stand-alone movie. I like his version of Alice, the pace is brisk and I did not feel bored (The 3D helps). I find this more engaging than the cartoon by Disney too and one of the TV apdatation. The characters here are more likable. As the usual Tim's movies, this movie is a little dark with some intense scenes. The truth is I enjoyed this more than Avatar. Avatar may be ground-breaking for people but it is not for me. Because of its long runtime, Avatar spends time talking about some mushy contents, they are not even interesting. But staying throughout the film pays off, you will be treated to a war scene in 3D. But the thing is it is too long, my eyes got a little tired wearing the glasses. The time of Alice is just nice, 1 hour and 48 minutes. Danny Elfman has done it again by composing some striking music.
Overall: This may be the first Tim's movie I like. The 3D may not be popping out at you but it is enough to gain the realistic yet cartoonish tone of the movie. The 3D version may also be too intense for kids, 2D would be fine anyway. Half way in the movie, a kid was crying for no reason...

Rating: 3.4/5 Review: "The Spirit of Ramayana" (103 minutes) "A passable Thai horror movie with an interesting concept but weak execution." As a low-budget horror movie, it has enough entertainment values. In the recent years, there are a few strong Thai horror movies with decent production values and there are many mediocre low-budget horror movies. The Spirit of Ramayana is somewhat in the middle. It may not look that polished but its themes and concept are intriguing enough. The story: The narrative is straight forward however its editing made the movie look messy and disjointed. It is a simple story about Mintra, a young dancer who is rejected for the main role because she cannot pull off an evil and sensual side. However, a spirit helps her to unleash her dark side. On paper, it sounds like a supernatural Black Swan. It lacks the emotional depth of Black Swan as the director seems only interested in churning out cheap scares. As the plot develops fur...

Rating: 4.5/5 Review: "Man of Steel movie review" With all the hype from the trailers, I must say this is what it looks to be expected. I have to say that this is the biggest and epic superhero movie yet. This treats destructions like child's play. It is also the most explosive superhero movie. There are so much explosions that they could literally make you exhausted from watching all those. Although this is directed by Zack Snyder, this does not have much of his trademark except the visuals. His slo-mo trademark is not featured. Instead, the action is rapid fast. Man of Steel is a good entertainment with exciting action scenes and visuals but at the same, a somehow touching human drama. The story: We get an extended opening scene on Krypton where Kal-El is just born. However the planet is going to be destroyed with General Zod adding to the problem. To save Kal-El, he has to be sent to another planet known as Earth. What is interesting about the movie that it do...

Rating: 4.6/5 Review: "Avengers: Endgame IMAX movie review" (181 minutes) This is surely the most anticipated movie this year. This is a non-spoiler review so it won't be very long. The ultimate question is: Is the conclusion worth the wait? Those who have invested 10 over years on every Marvel movie should have no doubts watching this on big screen. I personally find Endgame a little disappointing as it felt safer compared to the brutal Infinity War. The story: It is a direct sequel. And that's all a reader should know. There are some surprises along the way and it ends in a satisfying way. Audience should know that it is a 3 hours movie so they SHOULD NOT expect an action-packed thrill ride like what Infinity War is. It takes its time with characters and therefore it is reasonable to call it an action drama that delivers an emotional and nostalgic ride. Although it does feel a bit long, I found it consistently engaging. Music by Alan Silvestri is a bit lacki...
