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...

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...
