Review: "The Avengers 3D movie review"

For the first time, superheroes gather together for a movie. Although the idea is not new in the world of comic books. The Avengers is based off on the popular comic book from Marvel. But it's only now, we get to see an adaptation by Joss Whedon. I must say he's pretty good. He has also produced and written the recent horror comedy, The cabin in the wood, which is the best recent horror movie. In here, he has packed explosive action, tension and humour into one movie.

The story: It is pretty simple actually. Loki's bent on controlling the world. S.H.I.E.L.D has to stop him before it's too late. And that means recruiting superheroes. Time for the Avengers. For a movie like this, story is not as important as characters' development. Characters' development is very important in this as you see superheroes with different backgrounds working together for the first time ever. But Joss has never forgotten about the action. The movie starts off with a bang with Loki arriving earth. The major action pieces are cool and fun to watch. It even features the best action scenes in a Marvel Comic movie and sets the bar of the action high even for other superhero movies. Acting wise is alright. The superheroes are what they are from previous movies. Music is good. It, at times, is epic. Special effects are good.

3D: It is actually a mix-bag. I didn't expect a lot from it as it is post-converted. Well, the depth is there. You can see the characters separated from the backgrounds. The good 3D comes in when there is an action scene. No idea why. During the climax, the 3D is at its best. So overall, the 3D is alright but it could be so much better if it is filmed in 3D.

Overall: It is a solid entertaining blockbuster that set the bar high. It not only features explosive action and great special effects but it also has characters' development and humour. It is a great blockbuster to start off for the year. It seriously set the bar high for Marvel Comic movies in terms of action and decently-paced story. Avengers Assemble!

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...

Best and Worst movies of 2011 2011 is over! It sees many good movies so it was kind of tricky to list the best 4 movies of 2011. It had been a good year for movies. Let's see if 2012 is any better. 1.Transformers: Dark of the Moon Rating: 4.5/5 It is one of the best 3D movie ever. It has cool action, great 3D and robots. It may be the final Transformers for Michael Bay. Only thing that can be improved is that rushed out ending. Other than that, it could be 2011 best action movie. 2.Sucker Punch Rating: 4.5/5 It is sad to see the critics slamming this movie. I find its presentation kind of cool and unique. The action is not bad too. Zack Synder really has a sense of cool visual which the movie a more interesting view. 3.Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Rating: 4.5/5 The end is finally here. Although it is the most action-packed movie in the franchise, I can't help but feel a little disappointed with the climax. I wanted a longer and more epic battle between Harry and Voldemo...

Rating: 3.9/5 Review: "Iron Man 2 DVD review" Well, for me, it is kind of disappointing. Seeing the lack of action and three short action scenes disappoints me as this movie has been reported to have a higher budget than the first one. Another thing disappointing is the pace. The pace in the first Iron Man movie is intense, it is filled with intense moments and quirky humour. This one's pace is slower with all the melodrama of Tony trying to live his "broken" life as he thinks he will soon die. And he starts being an ass, some drunk ass, and blah blah.... The story: The first third of the movie is not bad, still holding up some interesting moments like the villian, Ivan in a car race scene. The second third is where the story slows down, luckily it is bearable, when Tony behaves like an ass, drinking and dancing like some nut monkey. Then there is an action scene with Tony and his best friend in armour. The last third is the climax between Tony and Ivan which is...
