Review: "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn part 1 movie review"

Interestingly, the movie title only shows Breaking Dawn part 1 so I feel that the posters should actually omit the words, "The Twilight Saga". Breaking Dawn follows in the same vein as Harry Potter and the deathly hallows where it is split into two parts. Harry Potter seems to be fine to be split into two parts but in this case, Breaking Dawn seems to want to rake in more cash. Part 1 seems almost pointless but in terms of entertainment, it is okay.

The story: The pace moves slowly when the movie starts. The wedding is finally happening and Bella is getting the jitters. I think about half and hour is delicated to the wedding with pointless dialouges during the wedding. After the wedding, Edward and Bella go for their honeymoon where they show off a little skin. And I think that is also almost half and hour. The exciting stuff happens when Bella realises she is pregnant with a monster baby. Troubles brew. Bella is growing weaker, Edward struggling to find a way to get the baby out of her stomach, Jacob solving his own family problems. Acting wise is okay, the usuals in the Twilight Saga. Effect wise has improved from the other movies. Music wise is not bad, the composer manages to do some intense music for the tense moments.

Overall: To say the truth, this could be actually the best in the saga. I didn't feel that bored while watching this. The first one was okay. New Moon was slow and a little unbearable to sit in the cinema. The third one is an improvement over the second one but some scenes are still kind of slow and never ending. This may seem kind of pointless for the saga but it is still serves its purpose- giving the fans more of Bella, Edward and Jacob.

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: 3.5/5 Review: Taken DVD review Taken is a new action movie that makes the audiences want more hard and gritty action flicks. I can see that now. Taken has the drama (Yawn!) and the realistic action (Like the Borne movies). Clocking at only 1 and a half hour, the movie starts off slow with drama. After half and hour pass, it goes straight to the intensity and non-stop realistic action. I don't like the slow start. As it is only 1 and a half hour, it do not have the time for slow characters' development. It should drive straight to the action, unless it clocks around 2 hours. The story: It seems to be the usual kidnapping movies where the bad guys kidnap some random girl/boy and ask for ransom. But in this, they kidnap young women to become sex-slaves. A father of a kidnapped daughter is enraged and goes to Paris where his daughter is. "I will find you! I will kill you!" He says to the bad guys. He starts punching and kicking people to hell. He kicks men's b...

Rating: 3.8/5 Review: "Resident Evil: Retribution movie review" It was a pity that I did not manage to catch it in 3D. I have no doubt that it looks good in 3D since the previous movie looks good in 3D. To say the truth, Resident Evil: Retribution seems to be nothing special without the amazing 3D like what Resident Evil: Afterlife is. The 5th movie is all about action and suspense, the story is pretty straight-forward. The story: You are a fool if you go and watch a Resident Evil movie expecting good story line and acting. So far, none of the movies in the franchise have these qualities. But they are entertaining to watch because of the action and suspense. This is the most action-packed Resident Evil movie so far. The action scenes are also better and bigger. It is like a kind of compensation for the lack of action in Resident Evil: Afterlife. It is not only filled with action but it is also intense. Music in this is also the best in the franchise; it has a more ep...
