Review: "The Dark Knight Rises movie review"

The wait to the one of the most anticipated movie this year is finally over. And how's it? It is a good conclusion to Nolan's trilogy. Although, this is the third movie in the trilogy, the movie takes its time showing Bruce's hesitation before donning the batman suit again. Everything in this movie seems to be amp up whether or not it is the action or explosion or destruction. It features the best action scenes featured in a Batman movie. Though overlong, it is tense and meaningful and touching at some points and packed with some great action scenes.

The story: Those who are eager to see Batman in the first half and hour will be disappointed as Bruce hesitates to don his suit but they will at least be glad to see some action from Bane and Selina Kyle known as     Catwoman. The movie opens to a thrilling airplane jacking by Bane and his gang. And in the first half and hour, we also get to see Selina showing off some moves. By the time Bane is a threat to Gotham City, Batman appears and fends off them. From there, the pace speeds up as Bane terrorizing the city. Of course there are a lot of things packed in the long 2 hours and 45 minutes and at times, it feels a little bloated. The last hour is tense and the explosive and intense climax is the best ever seen in a Batman movie. Acting is good. The newcomers like Selina, Bane etc. are well-acted. Music by Hans Zimmer is top-notch.

Overall: Is it the best in Nolan's trilogy? I can't say although it is better than The Dark Knight. To tell the truth, The Dark Knight is good but not a masterpiece. I think I am the few who enjoyed Batman Begins more than The Dark Knight. The action in this is better and it is more tense than the second movie. With Nolan concluding his trilogy, I look forward another version of Batman in future.

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...

Rating: 3.6/5 Review: "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D season 2 TV review" Season 2 has improved greatly. Starting straight from the massive cliffhanger in season 1, season 2 is more tense, action-packed, darker and better paced. I think season 1 took its time to introduce its characters before diving into the action. The time is spread out to individual characters' development. More twists and turns make the season a stark improvement. Episode 1-22: Skye has discovered her powers and is learning how to cope with it. Meanwhile, the team has its problems. Coulson seems to be hiding secrets. In fact, everybody has secrets. More powers are unleashed. It is a little surprising that Marvel is bold enough to veer the series to a darker tone by amping up the number of deaths and more violence. The whole season has little humour and moves at a brisk pace without really pausing. As the tension between human and superhuman increases by each episode, it is an exciting season that w...
