Quick DVD reviews Rating: 3.7/5 Review: "I Robot DVD review" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is kind of intense in some ways. It has non-stop thrills but I would not say that this is action-packed. As far as I can remember this only has three-four major action scenes. And the action scenes are loaded with CGI robots and stunts. Well, this was in 2004 so I found those scenes slightly cheap. The story is ot bad, it has the thrills to keep me watching until the credit. Good popcorn flick. DVD special features-4/5 Wow, this 2-Disc DVD has extensive featurettes and making of. There is a long making of/video production diaries (91 minutes) which can be viewed in chapters. It is basically behind the scenes on some scenes. Yeah, not a bad making of as it is quite detailed and covers up those major scenes. Moving on is a featurette on the CGI of the movie (35 minutes). It is just an extension of the behind the scenes wi...

Rating: 4/5 Review: "Ip Man 2 movie review" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ After watching the underwhelming Iron Man 2, I saw this and unlike Iron Man 2, this is better than the first movie. The fighting scenes are cooler than the first one. The fight between Donnie and Sammo is cool though a little short, I would like to see them fight longer. Surprisingly, this is more action-packed than the first one, I thought this would be a little melodrama as Ip Man is having a hard time in Hong Kong. The story: It takes place after the first movie, Ip Man moves to Hong Kong and finds it hard to make a living. He wants to teach Wing Chun but he has to defeat several masters from Wushu schools. That is the first half of the 1 hour and 48 minutes movie. The last half is about Ip Man and his chinese people trying to defeat an English boxer. Yeah, the story may seem generic but the fighting scenes are worth the watch. I feel that ...

Rating: 3.9/5 Review: "Iron Man 2 DVD review" Well, for me, it is kind of disappointing. Seeing the lack of action and three short action scenes disappoints me as this movie has been reported to have a higher budget than the first one. Another thing disappointing is the pace. The pace in the first Iron Man movie is intense, it is filled with intense moments and quirky humour. This one's pace is slower with all the melodrama of Tony trying to live his "broken" life as he thinks he will soon die. And he starts being an ass, some drunk ass, and blah blah.... The story: The first third of the movie is not bad, still holding up some interesting moments like the villian, Ivan in a car race scene. The second third is where the story slows down, luckily it is bearable, when Tony behaves like an ass, drinking and dancing like some nut monkey. Then there is an action scene with Tony and his best friend in armour. The last third is the climax between Tony and Ivan which is...
