Review: "Ip Man 2 movie review"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After watching the underwhelming Iron Man 2, I saw this and unlike Iron Man 2, this is better than the first movie. The fighting scenes are cooler than the first one. The fight between Donnie and Sammo is cool though a little short, I would like to see them fight longer. Surprisingly, this is more action-packed than the first one, I thought this would be a little melodrama as Ip Man is having a hard time in Hong Kong.
The story: It takes place after the first movie, Ip Man moves to Hong Kong and finds it hard to make a living. He wants to teach Wing Chun but he has to defeat several masters from Wushu schools. That is the first half of the 1 hour and 48 minutes movie. The last half is about Ip Man and his chinese people trying to defeat an English boxer. Yeah, the story may seem generic but the fighting scenes are worth the watch. I feel that the fight scenes help to enhance this movie better.
Overall: It is worth to watch this cinema as it is good to see the fast fight scenes on big screen. Ip Man fans will catch this. Action fans who don't know about Ip Man should also watch the series. Hopefully this will do well to get a sequel. If there is another sequel, Bruce Lee will definitely be inside.

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...
