Review: "Johnny English Reborn movie review"

The sequel of the 2003 comedy takes its own sweet time to enter the cinemas. At least, it is not disappointing. It may not be original but it still provides the laugh. Rowan is back as the idiotic but somehow smart Johnny English.

The story: Johnny is back for an impossible mission. Blah blah, it is like a series of gags being stringed up together but most of the gags are funny and entertaining so I can't really complain. This movie amps up the action by having a few chase scenes but most of them are light-hearted. One of the memerable chase scenes is Johnny calmly chasing an assassin and ends with a funny fight. Another one is the wheelchair chase scene where Johnny sits on a high-tech wheelchair and being chased by police. Surprisingly, this has some tense moments unlike the first one which is light throughout the movie. This has betrayal, people getting killed and more serious spy stuff.

Overall: It is a pretty good spy spoof. And of course, thanks to Rowan, this movie is more entertaining with him. Rowan still has what it takes to be funny. His priceless expressions like in one scene where he is shocked that he catches and hits the wrong person. Hopefully, there will be another sequel but it's up to the Box Office. Don't let me wait for 10 years more for another Johnny English movie.

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: "G-Force movie review" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is not all that bad, at least it tries its to be an enjoyable family movie flick. But as usual, Disney movies now are getting haters around the world due to its popular teens and live-action animals-talking movies. So now, when they see a live-action Disney movie whether it has teenagers singing or animals yapping away, they would be put off immediately. Whatever it is, G-force is fun with 3-D. Kids would like the cute animals coming near them. The story: G-Force has a simple story which is also not creative. But that it is not what kids want, they would want to see action blazing through their ways. As this being a Jerry Bruckheimer production, you can expect at least a car chase and some explosion but only more mild. Trevor Rabin did a good work in creating epic music. Though a kid movie, expect some rude humour but also at the same ti...

Rating: 4.3/5 Review: "Alita: Battle Angel IMAX movie review" (122 minutes) This is Robert Rodriguez's biggest movie yet and costs a staggering US$200 million. It is easy to see why. The sets are massive loaded with CGI and even many characters are CGI. Alita: Battle Angel has everything a Blockbuster has; action, romance, drama, CGI, epic music. Robert's direction is confident despite him handling a large-scale movie for the first time. As this is based on the manga, it suffers the cram condensation of a few volumes. The story: The start is surprising as it has no big opening action scene (we are used to seeing a big opening action in most Blockbuster). The sets may be big scaled but the opening feels intimate in terms of emotions. We see Dr. Dyson (Christoph Waltz) finding and rebuilding a female cyborg, Alita (Rosa Salazar). The first 20 minutes are engaging as we discover Iron City from the eyes of Alita. From then on, the pace quickens as we are introduce...
