Review: "Thor: The Dark World movie review"

Thor: The Dark World is the latest movie from Marvel Comic and it seems that Marvel will furiously and constantly be putting superheroes on big screen. Next year will see popular franchise, Spider-Man and X-Men and as well as newcomer Guardians of the Galaxy. Do Marvel movies seem tired? That is the question since it has been churning out many movies. The good news of Thor: The Dark World is that although it has a generic plot, it is still entertaining with heck load of fun. I feel that it is even better than the first one.

The story: The movie starts with a short introduction of the Dark Elves fighting a war and we have come to know their motive of harming Thor and Asgard and Jane. It proceeds with Jane and her friend making a discovery of another world. Right from the start of the movie, this promises to be more action-packed than the first. While the first movie makes an establishment between Thor and the human world and sees Thor's character development. The sequel drives straight into the action. Thor is seen to be showing off more of his strength in the last third of the movie. There are some exciting set pieces including the destruction of Asgard and 'Switch-from-World-to-World' climax fight scene. Although the action is not impressive, it is well-shot and is an improvement over the first one which is more of like a child play. Music by Brian Tyler is suitably epic at times but sounds generic. Acting wise is not a problem.

Overall: It will definitely draw the fans and general audiences. I enjoyed it more than the first movie and hope that the third movie will be out soon. Unfortunately, we have to wait for the next movie of The Avengers before seeing another stand-alone Thor movie. With Marvel furiously churning out sequel after sequel, it is nice to see a newcomer which is Guardians of the Galaxy coming out next year.

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...

Best and Worst movies of 2011 2011 is over! It sees many good movies so it was kind of tricky to list the best 4 movies of 2011. It had been a good year for movies. Let's see if 2012 is any better. 1.Transformers: Dark of the Moon Rating: 4.5/5 It is one of the best 3D movie ever. It has cool action, great 3D and robots. It may be the final Transformers for Michael Bay. Only thing that can be improved is that rushed out ending. Other than that, it could be 2011 best action movie. 2.Sucker Punch Rating: 4.5/5 It is sad to see the critics slamming this movie. I find its presentation kind of cool and unique. The action is not bad too. Zack Synder really has a sense of cool visual which the movie a more interesting view. 3.Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Rating: 4.5/5 The end is finally here. Although it is the most action-packed movie in the franchise, I can't help but feel a little disappointed with the climax. I wanted a longer and more epic battle between Harry and Voldemo...

Rating: 3.9/5 Review: "Iron Man 2 DVD review" Well, for me, it is kind of disappointing. Seeing the lack of action and three short action scenes disappoints me as this movie has been reported to have a higher budget than the first one. Another thing disappointing is the pace. The pace in the first Iron Man movie is intense, it is filled with intense moments and quirky humour. This one's pace is slower with all the melodrama of Tony trying to live his "broken" life as he thinks he will soon die. And he starts being an ass, some drunk ass, and blah blah.... The story: The first third of the movie is not bad, still holding up some interesting moments like the villian, Ivan in a car race scene. The second third is where the story slows down, luckily it is bearable, when Tony behaves like an ass, drinking and dancing like some nut monkey. Then there is an action scene with Tony and his best friend in armour. The last third is the climax between Tony and Ivan which is...
