Review: "Gantz: Perfect Answer movie review"

I did not catch the first one in cinema therefore I decided to support the last movie. Gantz: Perfect Answer is indeed worth to watch in cinema although it is in only three cinemas. This can be compared to Daeth Note 2 which is also the last movie in the two-parter series (Not counting L changes the world). The suspense and thrills are maxed out like Death Note 2 does. This also features some cool action scenes.

The story: It continues where the first movie last stops. In the beginning, there is a quick recap for the first one and even features the names of the main characters. It is good for those who have forgotten what's happening as this took a long time to be released in cinema. The thrills and suspense makes the movie fast-paced. Action fans have to wait for a while for the real major action scene which involves a train. The other and last major action scene is a lenghtly chase and ends with a cool sword fight scene. Though this is not as action-packed as the first one, its action scenes have great chereography and stunts and lenghtly. I think most of the action scenes last about 10 minutes each. Music is surprisingly epic. Acting is alright. Some of the actors and actresses do not really express well but are still okay.

Overall: It is a great action japanese movie. The Gantz live-action series can be considered one of the best action movie in Japan. It is a good series following Death Note and the 20th Century Boys triology. I hope there will be more action japanese blockbusters series.

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: 3.5/5 Review: "The Exchange" (90 minutes) "A decent fast-paced Thai heist thriller that is marred by weak action choreography and shoddy editing"  It's a low-key movie. You can hardly find information about this online when you type in its English title. Perhaps you will have better luck finding information in Thai. My curiosity piqued when I couldn't find any English review on it. Should I take the risk in watching an unknown movie? I finally decided that it wouldn't hurt buying a cheap ticket (US$2.50) to experience it. I actually enjoyed the movie but not the experience. Sure the movie has its own flaws but it is not as distracting as the badly dubbed Khmer language. The dub is emotionless and does not fit the tone of the characters. I know Thai and Khmer are two different languages but I couldn't help by being distracted with the bad lip sync throughout the whole movie. On the other hand, the movie is fast-paced enough to hol...
