Review: "I am number four movie review"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From the director of eagle eye brings you a new action thriller and guess what. It is not as thrilling as the trailer seems to be. I am number four is more of a romance drama with sci-fi and a bit of action. Even the action scenes are few. But still, it makes a entertaining ride with its decently paced story.
From start of the movie, the aliens are hunting for number three. After he dies, the next scene shifts to number four who is known as John Smith. Quickly, after an incident, he and his protector are on the run and move into a new city. From there, John meets a girl who happens to be the bully's ex-girlfriend. So many events happen from aliens hunting him, the bully devises a plan for him and John falling in love. And the cool CGI action scenes do not happen until the climax. Throughout the movie, there are very short action scenes which end when you blink. Those action fans will be restless after 45 minutes into the movie because they still have not seen any cool CGI action scenes. Only the last 20 minutes, it features non-stop frantic CGI action scenes set in a school. Things get crushed, monsters beating the shit out of each other and CGI laser beam fights. And the whole school almost gets smashed. The climax is good and makes the whole movie a better one. Acting wise is okay. Music is okay.
Overall: It is not a bad movie. It is better than Twilight, the boys may say so. But do not expect an action-packed or a thrill ride movie, expect an entertaining movie which mixes romance, sci-fi and action. Hopefully, there will be sequels for the movie as it is just the starting of everything.

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: 3.5/5 Review: Taken DVD review Taken is a new action movie that makes the audiences want more hard and gritty action flicks. I can see that now. Taken has the drama (Yawn!) and the realistic action (Like the Borne movies). Clocking at only 1 and a half hour, the movie starts off slow with drama. After half and hour pass, it goes straight to the intensity and non-stop realistic action. I don't like the slow start. As it is only 1 and a half hour, it do not have the time for slow characters' development. It should drive straight to the action, unless it clocks around 2 hours. The story: It seems to be the usual kidnapping movies where the bad guys kidnap some random girl/boy and ask for ransom. But in this, they kidnap young women to become sex-slaves. A father of a kidnapped daughter is enraged and goes to Paris where his daughter is. "I will find you! I will kill you!" He says to the bad guys. He starts punching and kicking people to hell. He kicks men's b...

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...
