Review: "Wrath of the Titans 3D movie review"

The sequel to the 2009 Clash of the Titans. Clash of the Titans 3D was the worst 3D movie experience I ever had as it was post-converted. So when I heard that they were shooting the sequel in 3D, I was excited. Clash of the Titans could have been great if not for the shoddy 3D effects. This is what Clash of the Titans should been. This has bigger and epic action and the 3D is a million times better than the first one.

The story: It is pretty straight-forward. The action starts soon enough when the movie opens. The action scenes involving some creatures are few but are great. But it is the climax which is almost the third act that stands out from the whole movie. It is filled with special effects and brawls between gods and demigods. Another scene that is noteworthy is the maze scene. The whole scene is intense as the maze is constantly changing its path to confuse the characters. The maze scene almost take up the second act of the movie. The movie is worth a watch just for these scenes. The music is alright, it can get epic at times but on the whole, Clash of the Titans' music is better than this. Acting is alright. Special effects are good.

3D: It seemed that the director changed his mind about shooting it in 3D and opted for post-conversion later on. And my hopes were dashed. Fortunately, I gave this a try as there are reviews saying that the 3D is definitely better than the first one. To my surprise, it is pretty good. It can be the best 3D post-converted movie I have seen. It even tops Alice in the Wonderland which was the best 3D post-converted movie before this. There are scenes which things like flying debris pop out from the screen. But most importantly, the characters never felt flat. They felt like 3D dimensional.

Overall: It is a cool epic movie. This is what Clash of the Titans could not be. It has the 3D to immense the audience into the world of gods and monsters. People should give the 3D version a chance and forget about how horrible Clash of the Titans'3D was. I hope there will be a third movie and this time I pray hope they will shoot it in 3D.

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: 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: 3.5/5 Review: "The Exchange" (90 minutes) "A decent fast-paced Thai heist thriller that is marred by weak action choreography and shoddy editing"  It's a low-key movie. You can hardly find information about this online when you type in its English title. Perhaps you will have better luck finding information in Thai. My curiosity piqued when I couldn't find any English review on it. Should I take the risk in watching an unknown movie? I finally decided that it wouldn't hurt buying a cheap ticket (US$2.50) to experience it. I actually enjoyed the movie but not the experience. Sure the movie has its own flaws but it is not as distracting as the badly dubbed Khmer language. The dub is emotionless and does not fit the tone of the characters. I know Thai and Khmer are two different languages but I couldn't help by being distracted with the bad lip sync throughout the whole movie. On the other hand, the movie is fast-paced enough to hol...
