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: 3.4/5 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...

Rating: 3.9/5 Review: "John Carter movie review" Unfortunately, I didn't catch it in 3D. I wasn't sure of how the post-conversion would turn out. Back to the movie. To tell the truth, before John Carter opened, I was not sure if I should give the movie a try. The posters are boring and uninspired and trailers are not really exciting. It was only the week that it opened that I decided to catch it in cinema. I am glad that it is actually a fun and entertaining movie that is worth to watch in cinema. The story: It does pack a lot during the 132 minutes runtime. And it does feel slightly bloated. But it is still fun entertainment. The movie starts with a short action scene on Mars and moves on to John Carter on the human world. Then the next 20-25 minutes show John on Earth. So Sci-Fi will have to wait a while to see John on Mars. The story is simple to understand but the number of characters may confuse. It is sort of a chase movie. The action scenes while short are many...
