Review: "Captain America: The First Avenger movie review"

This must be the superhero movie in this year to deliver solid action scenes. Thor's action scenes are disappointing and Green Lantern's are not really worth to mention. X-Men: First Class's are not too bad but they are few. But this, we get to see explosions, fistcuff fights and vehicle chase scenes. It may also be one of the best action superhero movie in Marvel. To tell the truth, Marvel's movies does not really deliver in terms of big-bang action except for some like Daredevil and The Incredible Hulk.

The story: It is a simple straight-forward movie with some moral meanings of course. But it is the action scenes that stands out from being classified as a generic superhero movie. This features real action like in a James Bond movie and not much of CGI effects. It involves with many explosions and fistcuff fight scenes which are highly engrossing. After being dissappointed with the few superhero movies released this year, I was glad that this turns out to be a better action superhero movie that features explosive action scenes. But of course, they are not as hard-core as other action movies but for a superhero movie, they are good. Music wise is not bad, could hear bits of the America's theme song if I am not wrong. Acting wise is quite okay. Evans did okay for Captain America, belivable acting. Effects wise is okay, some scenes do look fake but with a budget of US$140 million, can't really expect much. Thor and X-Men are not much different than this but have a higher budget.

Overall: It is not a bad superhero movie and summer movie. It has almost everything for a summer and superhero movie. Clearly, this has been a good year for Marvel. X-Men and Captain America and Thor are good entertainment. Sadly, DC Comic is not like Marvel. Green Lantern is still struggling in the box offfice. Anyway, with the teaser of The Avenger out next year, I can't wait to watch the superheroes assemble.

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: 3.5/5 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: 3.8/5 Review: "Resident Evil: Retribution movie review" It was a pity that I did not manage to catch it in 3D. I have no doubt that it looks good in 3D since the previous movie looks good in 3D. To say the truth, Resident Evil: Retribution seems to be nothing special without the amazing 3D like what Resident Evil: Afterlife is. The 5th movie is all about action and suspense, the story is pretty straight-forward. The story: You are a fool if you go and watch a Resident Evil movie expecting good story line and acting. So far, none of the movies in the franchise have these qualities. But they are entertaining to watch because of the action and suspense. This is the most action-packed Resident Evil movie so far. The action scenes are also better and bigger. It is like a kind of compensation for the lack of action in Resident Evil: Afterlife. It is not only filled with action but it is also intense. Music in this is also the best in the franchise; it has a more ep...
