Rating: 3.7/5 Review: "Immortals movie review" By judging from the trailers, I knew this would be visually good. And it is. The colour saturation is brownish and has a certain visual to it. Even the action scenes are visually interesting to watch. This epic movie is often compared to Zack Synder's 300 and I can't see much similarities between both of them. Each has its own visual shots and different shots in action scenes etc. Both have interesting visuals. About this movie, i can say this is more classified as an adventure drama. Though there are bits of action scattered in the movie, action is not a big part in the movie. It is more of a man's journey to stop the big bad guy from creating havoc on earth and his will to stop him. The gods are also back-characters which means they don't get much screentime. They mostly show their extraordinary skills in the action scenes. I was a little disappointed with the lack of the gods' appearances. Action wise is go

Rating: 3.9/5 Review: "Green Lantern extended cut Blu-ray review" The extended cut is about 9 minutes more than the cinema version. 9 minutes may seem a lot of footage but actually, most of the new footage is about the Hal's childhood. That's it. It shows how Hal saw his father died in a plane crash. Other that, the movie is still okay. Fortunately, the 9 minutes do not drag the pacing of the whole movie. Blu-ray special features- 3.5/5 There is the main meat which is the maximum mode viewing which can be played seperately as focus points (47 minutes). They cover up basic stuff such as special effects and making of the costume and stunts etc. There is a featurette about Green Lantern's origins (20 minutes) which is interesting as I do not know a lot about Green Lantern. There is another featurette about Ryan discussing his role as Hal Jordan (6 minutes). There are deleted scenes (5 minutes) which are not particularly interesting. Special effects are rough. There i

Rating: 4/5 Review: "X-Men:First Class Blu-Ray review" It is the best X-Men movie in the franchise due to its brisk pacing, thrilling plot and some nifty action. Blu-Ray picture is sharp and clear. A good superhero Blu-Ray unlike Thor which is still dark for a Blu-Ray. Blu-Ray special features- 3.6/5 The main meat is obviously the featurettes which can be played as one (69 minutes). They cover the usual like making of the costumes, sets, special effects and music. Nothing particularly new. The standard featurettes. There are deleted scenes (14 minutes) which add absolutely nothing to the movie. One of the rare notable scenes is where Erik forces a man with his power into putting a knife straight into his stomach. Other than that, the rest are blah. Nothing else interesting for special features. There is a feature which isolates the score in the movie. What the hell is that? I won't bother with that. There is an interactive tracker which allows you to track mutants. Once y
