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: 3.4/5 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: 4.3/5 Review: "Alita: Battle Angel IMAX movie review" (122 minutes) This is Robert Rodriguez's biggest movie yet and costs a staggering US$200 million. It is easy to see why. The sets are massive loaded with CGI and even many characters are CGI. Alita: Battle Angel has everything a Blockbuster has; action, romance, drama, CGI, epic music. Robert's direction is confident despite him handling a large-scale movie for the first time. As this is based on the manga, it suffers the cram condensation of a few volumes. The story: The start is surprising as it has no big opening action scene (we are used to seeing a big opening action in most Blockbuster). The sets may be big scaled but the opening feels intimate in terms of emotions. We see Dr. Dyson (Christoph Waltz) finding and rebuilding a female cyborg, Alita (Rosa Salazar). The first 20 minutes are engaging as we discover Iron City from the eyes of Alita. From then on, the pace quickens as we are introduce...
