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: 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...

Best and Worst movies of 2011 2011 is over! It sees many good movies so it was kind of tricky to list the best 4 movies of 2011. It had been a good year for movies. Let's see if 2012 is any better. 1.Transformers: Dark of the Moon Rating: 4.5/5 It is one of the best 3D movie ever. It has cool action, great 3D and robots. It may be the final Transformers for Michael Bay. Only thing that can be improved is that rushed out ending. Other than that, it could be 2011 best action movie. 2.Sucker Punch Rating: 4.5/5 It is sad to see the critics slamming this movie. I find its presentation kind of cool and unique. The action is not bad too. Zack Synder really has a sense of cool visual which the movie a more interesting view. 3.Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Rating: 4.5/5 The end is finally here. Although it is the most action-packed movie in the franchise, I can't help but feel a little disappointed with the climax. I wanted a longer and more epic battle between Harry and Voldemo...

Rating: 3.9/5 Review: "Iron Man 2 DVD review" Well, for me, it is kind of disappointing. Seeing the lack of action and three short action scenes disappoints me as this movie has been reported to have a higher budget than the first one. Another thing disappointing is the pace. The pace in the first Iron Man movie is intense, it is filled with intense moments and quirky humour. This one's pace is slower with all the melodrama of Tony trying to live his "broken" life as he thinks he will soon die. And he starts being an ass, some drunk ass, and blah blah.... The story: The first third of the movie is not bad, still holding up some interesting moments like the villian, Ivan in a car race scene. The second third is where the story slows down, luckily it is bearable, when Tony behaves like an ass, drinking and dancing like some nut monkey. Then there is an action scene with Tony and his best friend in armour. The last third is the climax between Tony and Ivan which is...
