Review: "Kamen Rider Den-O: Final Countdown movie review"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are rumours that this would be the final movie for Den-O. But now, it seems to have a fourth movie featuring Den-O and Decade. Whatever it is, Final Countdown is the third movie for Den-O. I like this one better than the other two. The first one is quite entertaining but it is quite short. It only clocks around 1 hour. The second one is longer but it is a little boring. Clocking around 1 hour and 20 minutes, the pace is not very fast and this one has the least action out of the three movies. It has only two major action sets. The first one has around three action sets. The third one has three major action sets and the music is epic (I could hardly hear the music from the other two)
The story: Kamen rider movies basically have the same plotline. And it is always the good prevailing the bad. This movie also has not much of a story. It is just how the good prevail the bad. Kids will enjoy the action sets, the best the Kamen rider movies can do. Sparks fly when weapons hit armours. I enjoyed this cheesy movie and the rest. I don't have time to watch the whole series so the best I could do is to watch this 1 hour and 23 minutes movie. It is quite entertaining but it is not the best Kamen Rider movie I have seen. Kamen Rider the next will take that spot. It is first time seeing Kamen Rider being dark, mature and violent.
Overall: This is strictly for Kamen Rider fans. Those who are not Kamen rider fans, they will find this boring and cheesy and would not understand the story. This year is Kamen Rider decade movie.

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 ...
