Review: "The Twilight Saga: Breaking dawn part 2"

Finally the final part has arrived in cinema. And like the final Harry Potter movie, this is full-blown compared to the other movies in the franchise. The pace in this is a lot faster than the other Twilight movies and it has a thrilling climax. The final movie is probably a sad thing for the fans who wish to see more Edward and Jacob but the franchise has to come to a closure. It can't be running for a long time.

The story: After some neat credit, the movie starts straight after Bella is revived. There are no recap scenes although they are not necessary. For the first 10 minutes, we see Bella struggling and testing with her powers and thirst for blood. Her daughter, Renesmee, grows up and finally the Volturi knows about it. They plan to go after Renesmee due to some rules. The Cullen family knows about it and calls up witnesses to show that Renesmee is not a threat. It leads to the thrilling showdown between them and the Volturi. And it is brutal; there are a lot of beheading which definitely shows that this is the most violent movie in the Twilight franchise and even for a PG-13 movie. If there is blood added, I think it will shoot to a NC-16 rating. Music wise is good. It is more noticeable and the tone of it has changed into a more epic tone.

Overall: It is an okay movie but it is good for a Twilight movie. Its pace has been improved which makes a lot of difference in a Twilight movie. The franchise has started out quietly and ended with a bang. With this being off the franchise list, companies are scrambling to find the next big franchises. Next year sees many movies being adapted from teenage novels.

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...
