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: 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: 3.4/5 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: "The Exchange" (90 minutes) "A decent fast-paced Thai heist thriller that is marred by weak action choreography and shoddy editing"  It's a low-key movie. You can hardly find information about this online when you type in its English title. Perhaps you will have better luck finding information in Thai. My curiosity piqued when I couldn't find any English review on it. Should I take the risk in watching an unknown movie? I finally decided that it wouldn't hurt buying a cheap ticket (US$2.50) to experience it. I actually enjoyed the movie but not the experience. Sure the movie has its own flaws but it is not as distracting as the badly dubbed Khmer language. The dub is emotionless and does not fit the tone of the characters. I know Thai and Khmer are two different languages but I couldn't help by being distracted with the bad lip sync throughout the whole movie. On the other hand, the movie is fast-paced enough to hol...
