Review: "Kung Fu Cyborg: Metallic attraction DVD review"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Warning: This is not action-packed either does it contain amazing action like Transformers. Named as the chinese's Transformers, it is obviously no match for Michael Bay's Transformers. Transfomers has a massive budget of US$150 million and Kung Fu Cyborg only has a budget of around US$14 million. There is a big difference. In Transformers, you get to see realistic CGI robots. In this, you get to see cheap CGI robots. Even its story, this is not match for Transfomers. Transformers has a fun story line with some humerous jokes and is action-packed. This is a slow romance story with robots as its sub plot. So don't expect this to be as explosive as Transfomers.
The story: It is a slow-paced romance story with love and love...yawn. If you cant sit still for at least half an hour, you will be rewarded and get to see cheap-ass CGI robots fighting. They have to make use of the title, Kung Fu. There are three main action scenes, first not very good and the second is okay-robots are fighting. The third is the last battle between good and evil which is just okay and not very outstanding. La-la-la...love is everywhere...why does this have to be romance. Can't it be a comedy? At least, i will get a bit amused. Yeah, this does contain some slap-your-ass jokes but I am not even amused. Put in more effort!
Overall: Yep, it is not so bad but it is disappointing and a little boring. At least, the chinese tried to make a robot movie on their own. The best part of this is the action scenes. Other than that, you skip it. I did not quite enjoy it but at least, I was the slight entertained. Korea is coming up its robot movie too. Awesome!

DVD special features-Rating: 2.9/5
The Hong Kong DVD edition features a making of (30 minutes) and trailers. The making of is entertaining, it makes the movie seems like an action movie. Nice to see some goofing around and some deleted scenes which I have not seen in the movie. Trailers include its trailer and two other previews (3 minutes). So sad that they are not equipped with english subtitles.

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: 3.5/5 Review: "G-Force movie review" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is not all that bad, at least it tries its to be an enjoyable family movie flick. But as usual, Disney movies now are getting haters around the world due to its popular teens and live-action animals-talking movies. So now, when they see a live-action Disney movie whether it has teenagers singing or animals yapping away, they would be put off immediately. Whatever it is, G-force is fun with 3-D. Kids would like the cute animals coming near them. The story: G-Force has a simple story which is also not creative. But that it is not what kids want, they would want to see action blazing through their ways. As this being a Jerry Bruckheimer production, you can expect at least a car chase and some explosion but only more mild. Trevor Rabin did a good work in creating epic music. Though a kid movie, expect some rude humour but also at the same ti...

The Five Best And Worst of 2017 Best 1. Dunkirk This is the top movie of 2017 because it was a pleasant experience in cinema. Watching this in cinema was not an initial intent however the strong reviews caught my attention. It is Christopher Nolan's best. It is short and sweet without dwelling on much. Han Zimmer's thrilling score levitates the movie to a whole new level. 2. Blade Runner 2049 It is another surprise hit for me as I did not intend to watch this in cinema too. The long runtime was partially the drawback for me but I was pleasantly surprised that I was engaged throughout the whole movie. Aside from Dennis Villeneuve's strong direction, Han Zimmer's score is on another level. 3. Thor Ragnarok Last year has been a great year. I did not expect to enjoy the third outing of Thor that much. The first one is so-so and the second one is an improvement however none of them stood out in my memories. Thor Ragnarok is definitely one of the most ...
