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: 3.5/5 Review: "From Vegas To Macau 2 movie review" "Loads of fun in Wong Jing's bigger sequel." Wong Jing is back with more madness, action, explosion and a longer runtime. As every sequel tries to top its original in every way, From Vegas To Macau 2 is no different. Lots of explosion, lots of wacky humour and more CGI, if these are your entertainment, the movie will do you no wrong. From the opening gun fight to the CGI climax, the story is kept brisk to keep your attention in check. The story: Chow Yun-fat is back as the titular gambler, Ken, with the magic hand. This time, the movie exaggerates his skills with CGI poker cards until it almost becomes a fantasy. But that's to be expected in a Wong Jing's movie. This time, the location is shifted to Thailand where Mark (Nick Cheung), an accountant in a money-laundering syndicate, DOA, is chased by Interpol and DOA. Ken has to save him and help his protege, Vincent (Shawn Yue). Wong Ji

Rating: 3.6/5 Review: "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D season 2 TV review" Season 2 has improved greatly. Starting straight from the massive cliffhanger in season 1, season 2 is more tense, action-packed, darker and better paced. I think season 1 took its time to introduce its characters before diving into the action. The time is spread out to individual characters' development. More twists and turns make the season a stark improvement. Episode 1-22: Skye has discovered her powers and is learning how to cope with it. Meanwhile, the team has its problems. Coulson seems to be hiding secrets. In fact, everybody has secrets. More powers are unleashed. It is a little surprising that Marvel is bold enough to veer the series to a darker tone by amping up the number of deaths and more violence. The whole season has little humour and moves at a brisk pace without really pausing. As the tension between human and superhuman increases by each episode, it is an exciting season that w

Rating: 4.1/5 Review: "Transformers: Age of Extinction movie review" Michael Bay is back for the forth time in the soon tired franchise. To be honest, I like Michael Bay and enjoyed all of his Transformers movies. But seeing him return to the franchise made me weary. Three times the explosions is enough and yet a forth explosion happens. The good news for this is that it still has fantastic action, explosions, CGI and on top, it has fresh characters to carry the weight. The not so good news is that it has amazingly the longest runtime in the franchise which drags down the whole movie. The story: Michael Bay wanted to start afresh with this. It is clear with the different title font, a fresh set of new characters, less humour and even a different theme song by Imagine Dragons. However these are all that have changed. Michael's extended explosive noisy action, stereotype characters and others still stay the same. The formula of the story is almost like the last thr
