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 setting the location, filming the stunts etc. It is not too bad as it covers some points of the movie but I wish that it is longer. Unfortunately, the rest of the making is on Blu-Ray. There is a useless motion comic (2 minutes) which tells a background story. To be honest, I am not interested. There is a commentary which obviously I won't listen to. The dvd should have deleted scenes.

Review: "Kamen Rider: Movie War Core DVD review"

I was disappointed with the action scenes in this. Yes, the action scenes are usually packed with CGI but the fighting scenes are the usual Kamen Rider's fight. The previous movie has better fighting chereography. It has wire-work. But in this, it is back to the almost no wire-work fight scenes. But the climax is more interesting as it is filled with CGI effects when the monster Kamen Rider Core appears and two Kamen Rider, W and OOO battle against it. The story is nothing much but it is splitted into three parts. First story is about how Kamen Rider Skull forms. Second is about OOO and the birth of Kamen Rider Birth. The third act is the climax. The three stories act like three episodes from the series combined to become a movie. The titles appear in the three parts. Action could have been better and story could be more engaging. I am actually tired of seeing three different parts form one movie. I prefer seeing a full lenght movie with one Kamen Rider. Other Kamen Riders can act as cameros.

DVD special features- 0/5

Barebones. The movie seems to be cut. It is only 1 and an half hour long when it is supposed to be 1 hour and 40 minutes long. Other than that, english subtitles is alright. There are some mistakes in it but it is still understandable.

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: 4.1/5 Review: "Transformers: Age of Extinction movie review" Michael Bay is back for the forth time in the soon tired franchise. To be honest, I like Michael Bay and enjoyed all of his Transformers movies. But seeing him return to the franchise made me weary. Three times the explosions is enough and yet a forth explosion happens. The good news for this is that it still has fantastic action, explosions, CGI and on top, it has fresh characters to carry the weight. The not so good news is that it has amazingly the longest runtime in the franchise which drags down the whole movie. The story: Michael Bay wanted to start afresh with this. It is clear with the different title font, a fresh set of new characters, less humour and even a different theme song by Imagine Dragons. However these are all that have changed. Michael's extended explosive noisy action, stereotype characters and others still stay the same. The formula of the story is almost like the last thr
