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: 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...

Rating: 3.7/5 Review: "Terminator Salvation DVD review" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is not bad. It is not the worst terminator movie, I actually thought Terminator 1 is just okay. Terminator 2 and 3 are quite entertaining followed by also entertaining Salvation. MCG, the director of Charlies' Angels, takes the directing seat and turned terminator into a dark and gritty world. As what he said, he did not want the future to be a shiny world but a dark and gritty world. He is considered to have done a great job in that and creating the realistic and cool action. But his story pretty much stays the same as his other movies, a simple mindless thrill ride. The story: The future is here and the year is 2018...John Conner is a daring man who will be willing to save people from Skynet, a evil organisation which creates Terminators. A mysterious man who is supposed to be dead suddenly finds himself in the year of...

Rating: 3.7/5 Review: "The Green Hornet movie review" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is not a bad movie to start on January, a month which okay movie are out. The Green Hornet is a special hero with cool gadgets and cars but the movie turns him into a generic superhero. It is entertaining at best but if you look for a complex plot with a lot of characters' development, this will not sastify. Reid aka The Green Hornet at first in the movie acts like an asshole and making out with girls. Then his father's death hit him hard, but not hard enough. He meets kato and they become The Green Hornet and Kato fighting the bad guys as bad guys. The action scenes are many and loud with explosions. The fight scenes are often played in slow motion. The climax features a cool car chase, a gun fight and a fight in the office. Boom! The climax is loud and explosive and even tearing down the whole office. And it is cool. Who doesn...
