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: 3.4/5 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: 3.5/5 Review: "The Exchange" (90 minutes) "A decent fast-paced Thai heist thriller that is marred by weak action choreography and shoddy editing"  It's a low-key movie. You can hardly find information about this online when you type in its English title. Perhaps you will have better luck finding information in Thai. My curiosity piqued when I couldn't find any English review on it. Should I take the risk in watching an unknown movie? I finally decided that it wouldn't hurt buying a cheap ticket (US$2.50) to experience it. I actually enjoyed the movie but not the experience. Sure the movie has its own flaws but it is not as distracting as the badly dubbed Khmer language. The dub is emotionless and does not fit the tone of the characters. I know Thai and Khmer are two different languages but I couldn't help by being distracted with the bad lip sync throughout the whole movie. On the other hand, the movie is fast-paced enough to hol...
