Review: "The Three Musketeers 3D movie review"

From the director of Resident Evil, you would already expect this to be nonsense but a fun thrill ride. Well, it's almost what I expected. With the experience of shooting Resident Evil: Afterlife, Paul decided to shoot this in 3D. Without doubt, this looks good in 3D and it does have a scope of 3D. But unfortunately, it is not as fun as I thought it would be. Sadly, I would say I enjoyed his last movie, Resident Evil: Afterlife more than his latest movie.

The story: After a betrayal, the three musketeers are living normal lifes until a bash young teenager appears in front of them. A mission starts. It is not as action-packed as it is supposed to be. The first action scene starts after the main title. And the second one involving the three musketeers and the teenager begins not long from the first action scene. But then, the action scenes disappear in the middle section. It turns into some sappy romance where the King falls in love with a girl in the palace. Blah Blah. At least, there is a conspiracy going on amist. The last third of the movie shows a climax between two airships and moves on to a one-to-one sword duel which is not bad. But I was kind of disappointed with the lack of sword battles. I thought the three musketeers are usually involved in sword fights. Acting wise is okay. CGI effects wise is good; the airships scenes are believable and look realistic. Music wise is okay for an adventure movie. 3D is not bad but it actually brings nothing new to the table. It is about on the level of The Final Destination 5's 3D.

Overall: It is an okay 3D movie to catch it. It is disappointing yet still a fun entertainment. Had the movie had more action, I would have enjoyed it more. Because of its title, I expected more sword fights and action.

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: 4.3/5 Review: "American Made film review" "An entertaining and fun well-made film boosted by great direction and acting." Doug Liman and Tom Cruise paired up together again for a fast-paced and colorful biography on Barry Seal. American Made may not have the blockbuster action but it holds up on its own firmly with the help of a great direction by Doug. Tom Cruise is definitely the main highlight of the film and he is what made it so entertaining. The story: The pace is brisk; it takes the audience on a crazy ride from the start and never slows down. Though it never felt boring, sometimes I felt that it could have slowed down for some development. After the film ended, it seems that Doug and Tom had a clear mind on just keeping the audience as entertained as they can be. It cuts to the chase and never dwells on anything such as emotions. It moves quickly from event to event. Advantage is that I was not bored at all. Disadvantage is that it felt li...
