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: 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

Rating: 3.6/5 Review: "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D season 2 TV review" Season 2 has improved greatly. Starting straight from the massive cliffhanger in season 1, season 2 is more tense, action-packed, darker and better paced. I think season 1 took its time to introduce its characters before diving into the action. The time is spread out to individual characters' development. More twists and turns make the season a stark improvement. Episode 1-22: Skye has discovered her powers and is learning how to cope with it. Meanwhile, the team has its problems. Coulson seems to be hiding secrets. In fact, everybody has secrets. More powers are unleashed. It is a little surprising that Marvel is bold enough to veer the series to a darker tone by amping up the number of deaths and more violence. The whole season has little humour and moves at a brisk pace without really pausing. As the tension between human and superhuman increases by each episode, it is an exciting season that w

Rating: 4/5 Review: "The Hobbit: An unexpected Journey 3D movie review" This is the highly anticipated prequel to The Lords of the Ring movies. As a stand alone movie, it does pretty well to engage audiences with its great special effects and fantasy creatures. I cannot compare this with the first trilogy as I can hardly remember it although I will catch it later. But as it seems, this is more lighter than the serious first trilogy. Sure this has its fair share of intense battles but this is more light-heart. The story: With a runtime of 2 hours and 49 minutes, you can be sure that this will take its sweet time to get the adventure going which is true. After a brief action-packed introduction, the movie moves slower. The first half and hour sees a hobbit's unwillingness to go for an adventure as the other dwarves plan to steal their treasures and take what is rightfully theirs. After the hobbit agrees, the fantasy adventure starts and following it are dangers.
