Review: "Immortals movie review"

By judging from the trailers, I knew this would be visually good. And it is. The colour saturation is brownish and has a certain visual to it. Even the action scenes are visually interesting to watch. This epic movie is often compared to Zack Synder's 300 and I can't see much similarities between both of them. Each has its own visual shots and different shots in action scenes etc. Both have interesting visuals.

About this movie, i can say this is more classified as an adventure drama. Though there are bits of action scattered in the movie, action is not a big part in the movie. It is more of a man's journey to stop the big bad guy from creating havoc on earth and his will to stop him. The gods are also back-characters which means they don't get much screentime. They mostly show their extraordinary skills in the action scenes. I was a little disappointed with the lack of the gods' appearances. Action wise is good. There are some cool slo-mo fights especially when the gods go busting humans' heads. But the duration of one fight scene is short, almost less than a minute. But there are many fight scenes scattered throughout the whole movie. The climax is thankfully longer which involves the gods' final cool fight and a war between humans. The blood and gore seems to be purposely exaggerated and that's fine. Acting is the usual, nothing bad but nothing fantastic. Music wise is fine for an epic movie.

Overall: It is an epic movie to whet general audience's appetite. As far as I remembered, the last epic fantastical movie is Clash of the Titans which was shown in cinema last year. So this year has Immortals. Next year will have Clash of the Titans' sequel, Wrath of the Titans in 3D. This is not a bad movie though the movie could be better with faster pace and longer action scenes.

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: 3.7/5 Review: "Terminator Salvation DVD review" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is not bad. It is not the worst terminator movie, I actually thought Terminator 1 is just okay. Terminator 2 and 3 are quite entertaining followed by also entertaining Salvation. MCG, the director of Charlies' Angels, takes the directing seat and turned terminator into a dark and gritty world. As what he said, he did not want the future to be a shiny world but a dark and gritty world. He is considered to have done a great job in that and creating the realistic and cool action. But his story pretty much stays the same as his other movies, a simple mindless thrill ride. The story: The future is here and the year is 2018...John Conner is a daring man who will be willing to save people from Skynet, a evil organisation which creates Terminators. A mysterious man who is supposed to be dead suddenly finds himself in the year of...

Rating: 3.7/5 Review: "Fantastic Four movie review" "A decent gritty reboot that could have been something more than what it is now." This is Josh Trank's first big budget movie and it seems he is slightly inexperienced of directing a movie of a massive scale. Fresh from directing a small budget movie, Chronicle, it seems that he is overwhelmed by whatever happened (there are rumours that Matthew Vaughn was brought in to reshoot). Nonetheless, on the whole, the reboot is an alright movie that rehashes on the tired superhero origin. It is disappointing that it is a little shallow. I think with a longer runtime, it could benefit the characters' development and flow of the story. The story: Apparently, the writers of the film said that it does not follow any story from the source material. Instead, a new origin is created. I didn't exactly know how the original source material goes (I read a couple of Fantastic Four comic books to know the tone ...
