Review: "The Avengers 3D movie review"

For the first time, superheroes gather together for a movie. Although the idea is not new in the world of comic books. The Avengers is based off on the popular comic book from Marvel. But it's only now, we get to see an adaptation by Joss Whedon. I must say he's pretty good. He has also produced and written the recent horror comedy, The cabin in the wood, which is the best recent horror movie. In here, he has packed explosive action, tension and humour into one movie.

The story: It is pretty simple actually. Loki's bent on controlling the world. S.H.I.E.L.D has to stop him before it's too late. And that means recruiting superheroes. Time for the Avengers. For a movie like this, story is not as important as characters' development. Characters' development is very important in this as you see superheroes with different backgrounds working together for the first time ever. But Joss has never forgotten about the action. The movie starts off with a bang with Loki arriving earth. The major action pieces are cool and fun to watch. It even features the best action scenes in a Marvel Comic movie and sets the bar of the action high even for other superhero movies. Acting wise is alright. The superheroes are what they are from previous movies. Music is good. It, at times, is epic. Special effects are good.

3D: It is actually a mix-bag. I didn't expect a lot from it as it is post-converted. Well, the depth is there. You can see the characters separated from the backgrounds. The good 3D comes in when there is an action scene. No idea why. During the climax, the 3D is at its best. So overall, the 3D is alright but it could be so much better if it is filmed in 3D.

Overall: It is a solid entertaining blockbuster that set the bar high. It not only features explosive action and great special effects but it also has characters' development and humour. It is a great blockbuster to start off for the year. It seriously set the bar high for Marvel Comic movies in terms of action and decently-paced story. Avengers Assemble!

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 ...
