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: 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...
