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: 3.5/5 Review: Taken DVD review Taken is a new action movie that makes the audiences want more hard and gritty action flicks. I can see that now. Taken has the drama (Yawn!) and the realistic action (Like the Borne movies). Clocking at only 1 and a half hour, the movie starts off slow with drama. After half and hour pass, it goes straight to the intensity and non-stop realistic action. I don't like the slow start. As it is only 1 and a half hour, it do not have the time for slow characters' development. It should drive straight to the action, unless it clocks around 2 hours. The story: It seems to be the usual kidnapping movies where the bad guys kidnap some random girl/boy and ask for ransom. But in this, they kidnap young women to become sex-slaves. A father of a kidnapped daughter is enraged and goes to Paris where his daughter is. "I will find you! I will kill you!" He says to the bad guys. He starts punching and kicking people to hell. He kicks men's b...

Rating: 3.5/5 Review: "From Vegas To Macau 2 movie review" "Loads of fun in Wong Jing's bigger sequel." Wong Jing is back with more madness, action, explosion and a longer runtime. As every sequel tries to top its original in every way, From Vegas To Macau 2 is no different. Lots of explosion, lots of wacky humour and more CGI, if these are your entertainment, the movie will do you no wrong. From the opening gun fight to the CGI climax, the story is kept brisk to keep your attention in check. The story: Chow Yun-fat is back as the titular gambler, Ken, with the magic hand. This time, the movie exaggerates his skills with CGI poker cards until it almost becomes a fantasy. But that's to be expected in a Wong Jing's movie. This time, the location is shifted to Thailand where Mark (Nick Cheung), an accountant in a money-laundering syndicate, DOA, is chased by Interpol and DOA. Ken has to save him and help his protege, Vincent (Shawn Yue). Wong Ji...

Rating: 3.6/5 Review: "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D season 2 TV review" Season 2 has improved greatly. Starting straight from the massive cliffhanger in season 1, season 2 is more tense, action-packed, darker and better paced. I think season 1 took its time to introduce its characters before diving into the action. The time is spread out to individual characters' development. More twists and turns make the season a stark improvement. Episode 1-22: Skye has discovered her powers and is learning how to cope with it. Meanwhile, the team has its problems. Coulson seems to be hiding secrets. In fact, everybody has secrets. More powers are unleashed. It is a little surprising that Marvel is bold enough to veer the series to a darker tone by amping up the number of deaths and more violence. The whole season has little humour and moves at a brisk pace without really pausing. As the tension between human and superhuman increases by each episode, it is an exciting season that w...
