Review: "Wolverine DVD review"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The latest X-men movie and the first origin movie, Wolverine. Wolverine is one of the most popular X-men so I am definitely not surprised that they have made a film about him. It is entertaining at most, a straight-forward story packed with action. It is not the best X-men movie. Though it is action-packed, it just feel bloated. It is like stuffing your stomach more food when it is full. The action is not that breath-taking, it is just filled with explosion and destruction. Even X-men 3 which present the action better seems to be better than this bloated action-packed movie.
The story: The origin of Wolverine. What else do you need to know? It features scenes of Wolverine screaming or roaring like some pissed-off animal which is true. The whole time, he is pissed off with mutants like Gambit and Victor known as Sabertooth. He goes on a killing spree and so does Victor. They hack and slash and without the blood and gore, this is only a PG-13 movie. Blah blah, everything is squeezed into the 1 hour and 47 minutes runtime. Guess what? It is just bloated.
Overall: It is not bad and also not the better Marvel comic movies I have seen. It is just entertainment and that is all about it. I enjoyed X-men 3 better than this. One thing to look out for, Wolverine crying like a pussy. Now that is entertainment.

DVD special features- Rating: 2.5/5
The one-disc edition only contains two special features. One is a short docu-making of (12 minutes), it is just briefly tells about how they get about making this movie and some behind the scenes. The second and last one is some boring deleted scenes (9 minutes). They are meaningless and do not really contribute to the story and hence got deleted.

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: 4.5/5 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: 4.6/5 Review: "Avengers: Endgame IMAX movie review" (181 minutes) This is surely the most anticipated movie this year. This is a non-spoiler review so it won't be very long. The ultimate question is: Is the conclusion worth the wait? Those who have invested 10 over years on every Marvel movie should have no doubts watching this on big screen. I personally find Endgame a little disappointing as it felt safer compared to the brutal Infinity War. The story: It is a direct sequel. And that's all a reader should know. There are some surprises along the way and it ends in a satisfying way. Audience should know that it is a 3 hours movie so they SHOULD NOT expect an action-packed thrill ride like what Infinity War is. It takes its time with characters and therefore it is reasonable to call it an action drama that delivers an emotional and nostalgic ride. Although it does feel a bit long, I found it consistently engaging. Music by Alan Silvestri is a bit lacki...
