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: 3.4/5 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: 3.5/5 Review: "G-Force movie review" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is not all that bad, at least it tries its to be an enjoyable family movie flick. But as usual, Disney movies now are getting haters around the world due to its popular teens and live-action animals-talking movies. So now, when they see a live-action Disney movie whether it has teenagers singing or animals yapping away, they would be put off immediately. Whatever it is, G-force is fun with 3-D. Kids would like the cute animals coming near them. The story: G-Force has a simple story which is also not creative. But that it is not what kids want, they would want to see action blazing through their ways. As this being a Jerry Bruckheimer production, you can expect at least a car chase and some explosion but only more mild. Trevor Rabin did a good work in creating epic music. Though a kid movie, expect some rude humour but also at the same ti...

Rating: 3.9/5 Review: "John Carter movie review" Unfortunately, I didn't catch it in 3D. I wasn't sure of how the post-conversion would turn out. Back to the movie. To tell the truth, before John Carter opened, I was not sure if I should give the movie a try. The posters are boring and uninspired and trailers are not really exciting. It was only the week that it opened that I decided to catch it in cinema. I am glad that it is actually a fun and entertaining movie that is worth to watch in cinema. The story: It does pack a lot during the 132 minutes runtime. And it does feel slightly bloated. But it is still fun entertainment. The movie starts with a short action scene on Mars and moves on to John Carter on the human world. Then the next 20-25 minutes show John on Earth. So Sci-Fi will have to wait a while to see John on Mars. The story is simple to understand but the number of characters may confuse. It is sort of a chase movie. The action scenes while short are many...
