Review: "Iron Man 3 movie review"

Now Iron Man has become a trilogy and so the question is "Is Iron Man 3 the best in the trilogy?". I cannot answer that. Definitely it is better than the disappointing second movie but it is almost on par with the first one. Iron Man 3 amps up the action and everything else. Iron Man 3 is solid entertainment.

The story: As usual, this movie is Tony's character development movie. From the start of the movie, we see a young Tony being arrogant and only interested in getting the girl. Several years later to the present day,we hear that Tony has changed for the better good. This time, there is a threat from The Mandarin who is a terrorist. The Iron Man movies are not known for its action. In fact, they are appreciated for its character development especially Tony Stark's. Iron Man 3 has the best action scenes seen in the trilogy. From the explosive destruction of Tony's home to a thrilling climax, Iron Man 3 has proved that not only can it have character development but also some great action in an Iron Man movie. What I didn't really like is what Shane Black did with The Mandarin which will be a big shocker to comic book fans. Music wise is okay. It should have been more epic coming from Brian Tyler. Special effects are definitely great.

Overall: It is a good entertainment from Marvel. Although it didn't state that it is the end of Iron Man, I hope it is the end so Marvel can bring other superheroes into life. It is not what the best Marvel could do but it serves as a solid entertainment.

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 ...
