Review: "Transformers: Dark of the Moon 3D movie review"

This is said to be Michael Bay's last installment to his Transformers trilogy. It is a good end to the franchise although the last minutes could have been extended to give a more closure to the final movie. As usual, this is filled with explosive action, epic music and a hot babe.

The story: The story lasts for one and an half hour before moving into an hour of action. The movie starts off with footage of the first people walking on the moon but they were not there just to start a new record, they were there for a special mission. The movie tries to be like a spy movie where things happen for an unknown reason. Sam and the Autobots have to uncover that mystery. Well, that doesn't actually do well for me but thankfully the pace is decent and packed with action. Carly, Sam's new girlfriend, replaces Megan Fox's character. She is just there to add in the eye-candy. Although she is not as tough as Megan, she still looks pretty and hot. The action scenes are done well. Lots of slow-motion too. The action is the best out of the three movies because it is longer and more thrilling. The last hour boasts cool action scenes filled with explosions.

The 3D is well-done too. Although two and an half hour is a bit too long for a 3D movie, I still could bear with it. People are comparing the 3D effects with Avatar and I would say this boasts better and more effective 3D effects. Some close-ups with the robots are amazing, it is like the robots are just in front of you. When it comes to the action, it is alright that you can at least see the depth between the action and the backgrounds. The action in 3D is better than the disappointing Pirates of the Carribbean. No wonder James Cameron praised Michael Bay regarding of the 3D effects.

Overall: Is it the best Transformers movie? I would say it comes pretty close. The first Transformers movie is the first movie that did the impossible thing; the stunning effects and action. I can't really choose the best. But this is better than the second movie. Michael Bay's Transformers has ended and is one of the best action trilogy out there. There are rumours that there will be a next trilogy without Michael. Bring it on!

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: "American Made film review" "An entertaining and fun well-made film boosted by great direction and acting." Doug Liman and Tom Cruise paired up together again for a fast-paced and colorful biography on Barry Seal. American Made may not have the blockbuster action but it holds up on its own firmly with the help of a great direction by Doug. Tom Cruise is definitely the main highlight of the film and he is what made it so entertaining. The story: The pace is brisk; it takes the audience on a crazy ride from the start and never slows down. Though it never felt boring, sometimes I felt that it could have slowed down for some development. After the film ended, it seems that Doug and Tom had a clear mind on just keeping the audience as entertained as they can be. It cuts to the chase and never dwells on anything such as emotions. It moves quickly from event to event. Advantage is that I was not bored at all. Disadvantage is that it felt li...
