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: 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

Rating: 4.1/5 Review: "Transformers: Age of Extinction movie review" Michael Bay is back for the forth time in the soon tired franchise. To be honest, I like Michael Bay and enjoyed all of his Transformers movies. But seeing him return to the franchise made me weary. Three times the explosions is enough and yet a forth explosion happens. The good news for this is that it still has fantastic action, explosions, CGI and on top, it has fresh characters to carry the weight. The not so good news is that it has amazingly the longest runtime in the franchise which drags down the whole movie. The story: Michael Bay wanted to start afresh with this. It is clear with the different title font, a fresh set of new characters, less humour and even a different theme song by Imagine Dragons. However these are all that have changed. Michael's extended explosive noisy action, stereotype characters and others still stay the same. The formula of the story is almost like the last thr
