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 is a digital comic book about the new Justic League issue 1 (9 minutes). It moves to every panel of the page slowly but the words are a bit small for me. Lastly, there is a preview of the upcoming Green lantern animated series (6 minutes) which does not interest me much. The animation seems a bit lazy. Overall: A not bad Blu-ray disc. Picture quality is sharp and clear. The 3D Blu-ray pack includes both 2D and 3D version.

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: 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: 4.6/5 Review: "Avengers: Endgame IMAX movie review" (181 minutes) This is surely the most anticipated movie this year. This is a non-spoiler review so it won't be very long. The ultimate question is: Is the conclusion worth the wait? Those who have invested 10 over years on every Marvel movie should have no doubts watching this on big screen. I personally find Endgame a little disappointing as it felt safer compared to the brutal Infinity War. The story: It is a direct sequel. And that's all a reader should know. There are some surprises along the way and it ends in a satisfying way. Audience should know that it is a 3 hours movie so they SHOULD NOT expect an action-packed thrill ride like what Infinity War is. It takes its time with characters and therefore it is reasonable to call it an action drama that delivers an emotional and nostalgic ride. Although it does feel a bit long, I found it consistently engaging. Music by Alan Silvestri is a bit lacki...
