Review: "The Three Musketeers 3D movie review"

From the director of Resident Evil, you would already expect this to be nonsense but a fun thrill ride. Well, it's almost what I expected. With the experience of shooting Resident Evil: Afterlife, Paul decided to shoot this in 3D. Without doubt, this looks good in 3D and it does have a scope of 3D. But unfortunately, it is not as fun as I thought it would be. Sadly, I would say I enjoyed his last movie, Resident Evil: Afterlife more than his latest movie.

The story: After a betrayal, the three musketeers are living normal lifes until a bash young teenager appears in front of them. A mission starts. It is not as action-packed as it is supposed to be. The first action scene starts after the main title. And the second one involving the three musketeers and the teenager begins not long from the first action scene. But then, the action scenes disappear in the middle section. It turns into some sappy romance where the King falls in love with a girl in the palace. Blah Blah. At least, there is a conspiracy going on amist. The last third of the movie shows a climax between two airships and moves on to a one-to-one sword duel which is not bad. But I was kind of disappointed with the lack of sword battles. I thought the three musketeers are usually involved in sword fights. Acting wise is okay. CGI effects wise is good; the airships scenes are believable and look realistic. Music wise is okay for an adventure movie. 3D is not bad but it actually brings nothing new to the table. It is about on the level of The Final Destination 5's 3D.

Overall: It is an okay 3D movie to catch it. It is disappointing yet still a fun entertainment. Had the movie had more action, I would have enjoyed it more. Because of its title, I expected more sword fights and action.

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...
