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: 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

Rating: 4.1/5 Review: "Transformers: Age of Extinction movie review" Michael Bay is back for the forth time in the soon tired franchise. To be honest, I like Michael Bay and enjoyed all of his Transformers movies. But seeing him return to the franchise made me weary. Three times the explosions is enough and yet a forth explosion happens. The good news for this is that it still has fantastic action, explosions, CGI and on top, it has fresh characters to carry the weight. The not so good news is that it has amazingly the longest runtime in the franchise which drags down the whole movie. The story: Michael Bay wanted to start afresh with this. It is clear with the different title font, a fresh set of new characters, less humour and even a different theme song by Imagine Dragons. However these are all that have changed. Michael's extended explosive noisy action, stereotype characters and others still stay the same. The formula of the story is almost like the last thr
