Review: "I, Frankenstein 3D movie review"

 It has a shockingly low 5% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. I, Frankenstein does not deserve the overwhelming negative reviews from critics and audience alike. It looks like it is one of the worst movies of 2014 and the year has only just began. With the lowered expectations in the beginning, I walked out of the cinema entertained.

 The story: It is just as straight-foward and generic as a Direct-To-DVD movie can be. The Frankenstein 's monster, Adam, is in the middle of a battle between Gargoyles and Demons. The result is an action-packed movie filled with nifty special effects. The action scenes are many and decently choreographed. The CGI is decent with the moderate budget of US$65 million. Music is good and fits the tone of the movie. Acting wise is okay. Bill Nighy acts as his usual self as a villain. Aaron Eckhart has not much of a role to emote feelings as an emotionless monster except to fight and show off his body.

 3D: It is good for a post-converted movie. There is a good sense of depth between the characters and the background. The 3D is also effective during action scenes especially when the Gargoyles soar in the sky and bursting of flames when demons are killed.

 Overall: With the low box office, it is clear it won't start up a franchise like Underworld (A franchise which I, Frankenstein gets its 'inspirations'). If you take it for what it is; a mindless action movie, you may enjoy it.

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...

The Five Best And Worst of 2017 Best 1. Dunkirk This is the top movie of 2017 because it was a pleasant experience in cinema. Watching this in cinema was not an initial intent however the strong reviews caught my attention. It is Christopher Nolan's best. It is short and sweet without dwelling on much. Han Zimmer's thrilling score levitates the movie to a whole new level. 2. Blade Runner 2049 It is another surprise hit for me as I did not intend to watch this in cinema too. The long runtime was partially the drawback for me but I was pleasantly surprised that I was engaged throughout the whole movie. Aside from Dennis Villeneuve's strong direction, Han Zimmer's score is on another level. 3. Thor Ragnarok Last year has been a great year. I did not expect to enjoy the third outing of Thor that much. The first one is so-so and the second one is an improvement however none of them stood out in my memories. Thor Ragnarok is definitely one of the most ...
