Review: "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter 3D movie review"

I enjoyed it a lot perhaps due to its fast pace and cool stylized action. Its pace is noticeably fast and points are skimmed through, there isn't much of details of the plot. There are actually a lot of things to packed in this movie but with the runtime of 1 hour and 45 minutes, it is impossible to put all the details in. It is not long before the stylized action kicks in. Although it has its flaws, I enjoyed it for what it is.

The story: It is basically a revenge movie where a young Abraham saw his mother killed by a vampire and when he gets older, he goes on a killing vampire spree searching for the one who killed his mother. Meanwhile he finds love and eventually becomes a president. It sounds like there are so many things to show on screen. But the director chose to go with the fast-pace and skimmed through the things. Scenes will be brief; not many are extended. Action helps to make it more a thrill-ride. Action scenes are many but brief. There are a few noticeable action scenes which are Abraham chasing his mother's murder with thousands of horses, the breaking into the vampires' house and obviously the climax which involves vampires getting hacked in a train. All the scenes mentioned have ridiculous stunts, cool slo-mo and are accompanied by great cinematography. Acting wise is good, believable acting by Benjamin Walker and Mary Elizabeth Winstead and the rest of the cast. Music is good; it has the tone of the movie.

3D: It is surprisingly good for a post-converted movie. Post-converted 3D movies are slowly gaining my trust. The 3D effects are effective especially during the action scenes and some shock scenes involving vampires appearing at your face. It is sadly more effective than the big-budget movie, The Amazing Spider-Man which is even filmed in 3D.

Overall: It is worth to watch in cinema in 3D. It is a pity that it didn't receive much credit even at the Box Office. It is a visual treat from the director of Wanted. Nothing could go wrong in terms of visual. It boasts effective 3D which could be the best post-converted 3D movie for now.

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...
