Review: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2 movie review"

The long wait is finally over. The last movie of Harry Potter is finally here. Cue to emotions of fans who have been with the series over more than 10 years. So the verdict is? Is it worth the wait to see Voldemort and Harry clash? The answer is Yes. It may be worth the wait and the anticipation but it does feel a little underwhelming. Yes, it does feature the best action scenes ever seen in a Harry Potter movie but the climax clash is a little underwhelming for me. I would have been expecting a little more from it.

The story: It directly continues from the last movie, part 1. Voldemort smiling and the most powerful wand in his hand and then the Warner Bros. icon follows and soon the title follows after. Harry and his gang talk to a few people and soon, they are off to an adventure to the bank to steal another Horcruxe. You won't have to wait long before the gang returns Hogwarts and the battle between good and evil starts. There is a war scene where wizards battles in Hogwarts. Good scene but that is only one. This movie has roughly three major action scenes but they are all breath-taking. The escape with the dragon from the bank is cool. The war scene is good and shows that a Harry Potter movie can actually come up with a good action scene. Hogwarts is being blown into bits. The climax is good though underwhelming. But at least, we get to see some sense of threat from Voldemort. Harry and Voldemort whizz off to places in Hogwarts to battle and finally the last clash of the wands in a field. Music is surpisingly epic when the battles start. Acting is good, the stars have matured.

Overall: The end is finally here. The Harry Potter series is over and it seems movie companies struggle to find the next Harry Potter to introduce to the world. And soon Warner Bros. will be seeing Batman off next year. Is it the best Harry Potter movie? You can say so. It has the action, magic and the thrills that the other movies can't compete. No doubt it will make big in box office as fans will lap up the last movie.

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...

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...
