Review: "The Green Hornet movie review"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is not a bad movie to start on January, a month which okay movie are out. The Green Hornet is a special hero with cool gadgets and cars but the movie turns him into a generic superhero. It is entertaining at best but if you look for a complex plot with a lot of characters' development, this will not sastify. Reid aka The Green Hornet at first in the movie acts like an asshole and making out with girls. Then his father's death hit him hard, but not hard enough. He meets kato and they become The Green Hornet and Kato fighting the bad guys as bad guys.
The action scenes are many and loud with explosions. The fight scenes are often played in slow motion. The climax features a cool car chase, a gun fight and a fight in the office. Boom! The climax is loud and explosive and even tearing down the whole office. And it is cool. Who doesn't want that. The music is okay but generic. Seth Rogen acts okay, he did a good job in protraying an asshole who can't shut up. Jay chou's acting is an improvement, his acting is considered dull in other movies.
Overall: It is wacky fun and the humour may a little off but still funny and entertaining. I hope for a sequal and hopefully may feature a better villian. The villian in this is corny (it may be intentional) and plain. He just wants to be scary. This movie is a start for the year.

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: 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: 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.
