Review: "Thor: The Dark World movie review"

Thor: The Dark World is the latest movie from Marvel Comic and it seems that Marvel will furiously and constantly be putting superheroes on big screen. Next year will see popular franchise, Spider-Man and X-Men and as well as newcomer Guardians of the Galaxy. Do Marvel movies seem tired? That is the question since it has been churning out many movies. The good news of Thor: The Dark World is that although it has a generic plot, it is still entertaining with heck load of fun. I feel that it is even better than the first one.

The story: The movie starts with a short introduction of the Dark Elves fighting a war and we have come to know their motive of harming Thor and Asgard and Jane. It proceeds with Jane and her friend making a discovery of another world. Right from the start of the movie, this promises to be more action-packed than the first. While the first movie makes an establishment between Thor and the human world and sees Thor's character development. The sequel drives straight into the action. Thor is seen to be showing off more of his strength in the last third of the movie. There are some exciting set pieces including the destruction of Asgard and 'Switch-from-World-to-World' climax fight scene. Although the action is not impressive, it is well-shot and is an improvement over the first one which is more of like a child play. Music by Brian Tyler is suitably epic at times but sounds generic. Acting wise is not a problem.

Overall: It will definitely draw the fans and general audiences. I enjoyed it more than the first movie and hope that the third movie will be out soon. Unfortunately, we have to wait for the next movie of The Avengers before seeing another stand-alone Thor movie. With Marvel furiously churning out sequel after sequel, it is nice to see a newcomer which is Guardians of the Galaxy coming out next year.

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: "G-Force movie review" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is not all that bad, at least it tries its to be an enjoyable family movie flick. But as usual, Disney movies now are getting haters around the world due to its popular teens and live-action animals-talking movies. So now, when they see a live-action Disney movie whether it has teenagers singing or animals yapping away, they would be put off immediately. Whatever it is, G-force is fun with 3-D. Kids would like the cute animals coming near them. The story: G-Force has a simple story which is also not creative. But that it is not what kids want, they would want to see action blazing through their ways. As this being a Jerry Bruckheimer production, you can expect at least a car chase and some explosion but only more mild. Trevor Rabin did a good work in creating epic music. Though a kid movie, expect some rude humour but also at the same ti...

Rating: 3.9/5 Review: "John Carter movie review" Unfortunately, I didn't catch it in 3D. I wasn't sure of how the post-conversion would turn out. Back to the movie. To tell the truth, before John Carter opened, I was not sure if I should give the movie a try. The posters are boring and uninspired and trailers are not really exciting. It was only the week that it opened that I decided to catch it in cinema. I am glad that it is actually a fun and entertaining movie that is worth to watch in cinema. The story: It does pack a lot during the 132 minutes runtime. And it does feel slightly bloated. But it is still fun entertainment. The movie starts with a short action scene on Mars and moves on to John Carter on the human world. Then the next 20-25 minutes show John on Earth. So Sci-Fi will have to wait a while to see John on Mars. The story is simple to understand but the number of characters may confuse. It is sort of a chase movie. The action scenes while short are many...
