Rating: 3.5/5 Review: "Predators DVD review" This is the 2010 version of the classic, Predator. This is the first Predator movie I have watched, Aliens VS Predator not counted. The movie starts immediately when Adrien's character realises he is dropping down in mid-air to ground. As soon as he smacked on the ground, the big and bold title Predators appears. With other mysterious characters appearing and finding themselves on a different planet, Adrien's character must try and work together to escape from the Predators' traps. During the first watch, it is kind of intense as there is the suspense of what happens next. When will those vicious Predators appear? It is not a bad action adventure thriller movie. Only thing I don't understand is why is there a rock song during the credit, it totally spoils the mood of the movie. DVD special features- 2/5 There is a making of (10 minutes) which briefly covers the important points of the movie like sett
Rating: 4.5/5 Review: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2 movie review" The long wait is finally over. The last movie of Harry Potter is finally here. Cue to emotions of fans who have been with the series over more than 10 years. So the verdict is? Is it worth the wait to see Voldemort and Harry clash? The answer is Yes. It may be worth the wait and the anticipation but it does feel a little underwhelming. Yes, it does feature the best action scenes ever seen in a Harry Potter movie but the climax clash is a little underwhelming for me. I would have been expecting a little more from it. The story: It directly continues from the last movie, part 1. Voldemort smiling and the most powerful wand in his hand and then the Warner Bros. icon follows and soon the title follows after. Harry and his gang talk to a few people and soon, they are off to an adventure to the bank to steal another Horcruxe. You won't have to wait long before the gang returns Hogwarts and the batt

And what do that mean? It means that the picture quality throughout the movie is inconsistant. Some shots are blurred and seem unfocused while other are sharp. I would find that distracting. I wish that they would have shot an original movie fully. The story: From what I read, this compiled 20 episodes of the drama. With the runtime of 1 hour and 57 minutes, the movie feels rushed. Some things move on so quickly like you miss it when you blink your eyes. The story feels rushed too but I can basically understand the movie. The action is alright. Some action scenes like the car chase and explosions with bad CGI are distracting. But I wouldn't really find faults with the action as they are at least some in the movie. They could be improved. Overall: It feels like a direct-to-DVD m
Rating: 4.5/5 Review: "Transformers: Dark of the Moon 3D movie review" This is said to be Michael Bay's last installment to his Transformers trilogy. It is a good end to the franchise although the last minutes could have been extended to give a more closure to the final movie. As usual, this is filled with explosive action, epic music and a hot babe. The story: The story lasts for one and an half hour before moving into an hour of action. The movie starts off with footage of the first people walking on the moon but they were not there just to start a new record, they were there for a special mission. The movie tries to be like a spy movie where things happen for an unknown reason. Sam and the Autobots have to uncover that mystery. Well, that doesn't actually do well for me but thankfully the pace is decent and packed with action. Carly, Sam's new girlfriend, replaces Megan Fox's character. She is just there to add in the eye-candy. Although she is not as tough
