Review: "The Storm Warriors movie review"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the long-awaited sequel to The Storm Riders which was made ten years ago. Can you believe it? After ten years, the Pang Brothers decide to helm the sequel. They made it into an action-packed movie filled with incredible special effects not seen in chinese movies. It is obviously filmed with green/blue screen. The special effects are not to be compared with high budget Hollywood movies'.
The story: The action with special effects starts straight from the first scene. Wind and Cloud, the main characters, cannot defeat the powerful bad assholes so they flee the scene. They then both are trained in different ways. Wind takes the evil way which may endanger him and Cloud being taught by Nameless, a teacher. With its fast pace, the movie took me from one action scene to another in a short time and soon I forgot the time and was being sucked into the fantasy world. At the end of the movie, I realised 2 hours and 8 minutes had passed. Not only it is filled with non-stop action and special effects, the epic music is also non-stop.
Overall: It is pretty awesome in ways. Action, special effects and music are good. There is a downside since this is filled with non-stop action. The story is kept simple. The good guys vs the bad guys. I am not very surprised as the the first live-action and animated movies do not really have a much detailed plot. If you are willing to let go the simple story and enjoy the special effects and fight scenes, it will be please you. There should be a part three and I hope there will be.

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: 3.5/5 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: 3.8/5 Review: "Resident Evil: Retribution movie review" It was a pity that I did not manage to catch it in 3D. I have no doubt that it looks good in 3D since the previous movie looks good in 3D. To say the truth, Resident Evil: Retribution seems to be nothing special without the amazing 3D like what Resident Evil: Afterlife is. The 5th movie is all about action and suspense, the story is pretty straight-forward. The story: You are a fool if you go and watch a Resident Evil movie expecting good story line and acting. So far, none of the movies in the franchise have these qualities. But they are entertaining to watch because of the action and suspense. This is the most action-packed Resident Evil movie so far. The action scenes are also better and bigger. It is like a kind of compensation for the lack of action in Resident Evil: Afterlife. It is not only filled with action but it is also intense. Music in this is also the best in the franchise; it has a more ep...
