Review: "The Amazing Spider-Man 3D IMAX movie review"

This is the reboot which the director and producers want it to be more realistic and gritty. Yeah, it is more serious than Sam's trilogy and it's more entertaining. Although this is a retelling of Peter Parker getting his extraordinary powers, it is a lot more entertaining than Sam's first Spider-Man movie. It is packed with more things but thankfully, it moves with a brisk pace.

The story: Though this is a retelling, there're things being changed. In fact, almost everything is changed from the way how Peter gets his powers to his uncle Ben dying. Heck, I don't even remember the famous line, "Great power comes with great responsibility" in this reboot. With the runtime of 2 hours and 16 minutes, you can be sure that the movie will take its characters' development seriously. With Marc's background of directing a romance movie, this also has the heart and the romance of the web-headed teenager's life. Andrew Garfield and the rest of the cast did a good job in acting. Andrew and Emma do have chemistry with each other. This obviously does not have as much action as Sam's trilogy. The action is brief but in the last 40 minutes, it is action-packed with thrilling action as Spider-Man and the Lizard battle. Music by James Horner is suited for the movie although it sounds a bit like Danny's original music in the Sam's trilogy.

The IMAX 3D is quite alright but it is not as spectacular as I thought it would be. The screen is bigger than normal cinema screen and the sound is quite loud, at times, the seats were shaking. The 3D effects are at most alright. It doesn't have much gimmick tricks but the extra dimension seems natural; not forced.

Overall: It is a good reboot and Spider-Man movie. It could even be considered as the best Spider-Man movie. It will surely be a hit (although I don't know if it can beat the trilogy's box office) and the sequel's date is already set. I wouldn't mind Marc coming back to direct. It is good to experience IMAX but I won't particularly go crazy for it.

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: 3.8/5 Review: "Resident Evil: Retribution movie review" It was a pity that I did not manage to catch it in 3D. I have no doubt that it looks good in 3D since the previous movie looks good in 3D. To say the truth, Resident Evil: Retribution seems to be nothing special without the amazing 3D like what Resident Evil: Afterlife is. The 5th movie is all about action and suspense, the story is pretty straight-forward. The story: You are a fool if you go and watch a Resident Evil movie expecting good story line and acting. So far, none of the movies in the franchise have these qualities. But they are entertaining to watch because of the action and suspense. This is the most action-packed Resident Evil movie so far. The action scenes are also better and bigger. It is like a kind of compensation for the lack of action in Resident Evil: Afterlife. It is not only filled with action but it is also intense. Music in this is also the best in the franchise; it has a more ep...

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...
