Review: "The Hunger Games movie review"

It is based on the widely popular teenage book and it is the first in the trilogy. People are claiming it to be the next Harry Potter or Twilight series. I could say it is different from the other movies based on the book as this contains more implied violence and the moral isn't exactly for children. It is also far more intense than all of the movies in Harry Potter and Twilight.

The story: It is positioned somewhere in the future and there are different districts. Each district, a male and a female are chosen to participate in a cruel game, The Hunger Games. The movie moves briskly with the runtime of 142 minutes. Unfortunately, the action fans will have to wait until the last half where the game takes place. The first half is about introduction of characters and the starting of the games where characters train for the game. As a action fan, I happen to enjoy the first half as it is more intense than when the game has started which is a surprise. There is a lot of blood and deaths and implied violence for a teenager movie. There are some neat action scenes but they are brief. The camera does shake a lot but it didn't bother me a lot. Music is good, it sets the tone of the movie. Acting wise is fine.

Overall: It will bring in loads of money as it is based on the widely popular books. And this movie is for both male and female unlike Twilight. Though the movie isn't morally right but the sense of Hope is prevalent. As the movie ends with a cliffhanger, we can expect a sequel or even a trilogy. With the movie raking in cash, it won't be long until we see a sequel.

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: 3.5/5 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...
