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: 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: 4.3/5 Review: "Alita: Battle Angel IMAX movie review" (122 minutes) This is Robert Rodriguez's biggest movie yet and costs a staggering US$200 million. It is easy to see why. The sets are massive loaded with CGI and even many characters are CGI. Alita: Battle Angel has everything a Blockbuster has; action, romance, drama, CGI, epic music. Robert's direction is confident despite him handling a large-scale movie for the first time. As this is based on the manga, it suffers the cram condensation of a few volumes. The story: The start is surprising as it has no big opening action scene (we are used to seeing a big opening action in most Blockbuster). The sets may be big scaled but the opening feels intimate in terms of emotions. We see Dr. Dyson (Christoph Waltz) finding and rebuilding a female cyborg, Alita (Rosa Salazar). The first 20 minutes are engaging as we discover Iron City from the eyes of Alita. From then on, the pace quickens as we are introduce...
