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...

Quick DVD reviews Rating: 3.6/5 Review: "Batman: Gotham Knight DVD review" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 2D animated movie has six different stories which are interesting on their own. The stories are fast-paced and some of them are action-packed due to the short runtime. The whole movie is only 1 hour and 16 minutes. Some of the famous villians are featured like Scarecrow and the Lizard. The six different stories also have their different styles, Batman seems like a fat monster in one of the story and he is a sleak man in black in another. Overall: It is a good watch even for those who are not a Batman fan but are into the recent live-action Batman movies. DVD special features-3.7/5 The second disc features two good and informative featurettes. One is about the villans of Batman (36 minutes). The writers and producers explain some of the famous villians like Joker and Scarecrow. The interesting facts are that they even ...
