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 the fight scenes help to enhance this movie better.
Overall: It is worth to watch this cinema as it is good to see the fast fight scenes on big screen. Ip Man fans will catch this. Action fans who don't know about Ip Man should also watch the series. Hopefully this will do well to get a sequel. If there is another sequel, Bruce Lee will definitely be inside.

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: 3.7/5 Review: "Terminator Salvation DVD review" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is not bad. It is not the worst terminator movie, I actually thought Terminator 1 is just okay. Terminator 2 and 3 are quite entertaining followed by also entertaining Salvation. MCG, the director of Charlies' Angels, takes the directing seat and turned terminator into a dark and gritty world. As what he said, he did not want the future to be a shiny world but a dark and gritty world. He is considered to have done a great job in that and creating the realistic and cool action. But his story pretty much stays the same as his other movies, a simple mindless thrill ride. The story: The future is here and the year is 2018...John Conner is a daring man who will be willing to save people from Skynet, a evil organisation which creates Terminators. A mysterious man who is supposed to be dead suddenly finds himself in the year of...

Rating: 3.7/5 Review: "Fantastic Four movie review" "A decent gritty reboot that could have been something more than what it is now." This is Josh Trank's first big budget movie and it seems he is slightly inexperienced of directing a movie of a massive scale. Fresh from directing a small budget movie, Chronicle, it seems that he is overwhelmed by whatever happened (there are rumours that Matthew Vaughn was brought in to reshoot). Nonetheless, on the whole, the reboot is an alright movie that rehashes on the tired superhero origin. It is disappointing that it is a little shallow. I think with a longer runtime, it could benefit the characters' development and flow of the story. The story: Apparently, the writers of the film said that it does not follow any story from the source material. Instead, a new origin is created. I didn't exactly know how the original source material goes (I read a couple of Fantastic Four comic books to know the tone ...
