Review:"Opapatika movie review"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This thai supernatural actioner is a little disappointing on the action but the story is pretty engrossing. As it is called an action film, I would have expected seeing some proper action. There is action and gun fights but it is not properly styled. It is messy with shaky camera. The fights are lame with almost no stunts. The gun plays are dull and boring at times. The interesting story is marred by horrible action. So not good. In action movies, action turns out better than the story. In this, the story turns out better than the action.
The story: It is about 4 Opapatika dealing with their ass lives. Each of them has a different power like being able to read people's mind, summoning a monster and speed. How to become an Opapatika? Kill youself. In this story, people believe in afterlife. After they kill themselves, they become Opapatika with different skills. It is action-packed with with blood and a little gore, fight scenes are mixed with blood and gore. The 109 minutes movie deals with how four lives and are fated to meet each other leading to the dull final showdown and twist.
Overall: It is not bad but it is disappointing. Especially that the story is engrossing but is marred by messy action. If you watch this thinking it will be like an thai action flick with cool stunts, you will be disappointed. If you watch this, leaving out all expectations, it is passable. It is not one of the better thai movies I have seen.

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...

Quick DVD reviews Rating: 3.6/5 Review: "Batman: Gotham Knight DVD review" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 2D animated movie has six different stories which are interesting on their own. The stories are fast-paced and some of them are action-packed due to the short runtime. The whole movie is only 1 hour and 16 minutes. Some of the famous villians are featured like Scarecrow and the Lizard. The six different stories also have their different styles, Batman seems like a fat monster in one of the story and he is a sleak man in black in another. Overall: It is a good watch even for those who are not a Batman fan but are into the recent live-action Batman movies. DVD special features-3.7/5 The second disc features two good and informative featurettes. One is about the villans of Batman (36 minutes). The writers and producers explain some of the famous villians like Joker and Scarecrow. The interesting facts are that they even ...
