Review: "Iron Man 3 movie review"

Now Iron Man has become a trilogy and so the question is "Is Iron Man 3 the best in the trilogy?". I cannot answer that. Definitely it is better than the disappointing second movie but it is almost on par with the first one. Iron Man 3 amps up the action and everything else. Iron Man 3 is solid entertainment.

The story: As usual, this movie is Tony's character development movie. From the start of the movie, we see a young Tony being arrogant and only interested in getting the girl. Several years later to the present day,we hear that Tony has changed for the better good. This time, there is a threat from The Mandarin who is a terrorist. The Iron Man movies are not known for its action. In fact, they are appreciated for its character development especially Tony Stark's. Iron Man 3 has the best action scenes seen in the trilogy. From the explosive destruction of Tony's home to a thrilling climax, Iron Man 3 has proved that not only can it have character development but also some great action in an Iron Man movie. What I didn't really like is what Shane Black did with The Mandarin which will be a big shocker to comic book fans. Music wise is okay. It should have been more epic coming from Brian Tyler. Special effects are definitely great.

Overall: It is a good entertainment from Marvel. Although it didn't state that it is the end of Iron Man, I hope it is the end so Marvel can bring other superheroes into life. It is not what the best Marvel could do but it serves as a solid entertainment.

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...
