Thor

GENRE : Fantasy | Action | Adventure

PLOT : The God of Thunder and an arrogant warrior 'Thor' is cast out in banishment from Asgard to Earth.

REVIEW : I've always loved Marvel movies. Kenneth Branagh directing a superhero flick could have been risky but surprisingly Thor comes out to be big and great. There is no moment in the whole movie where you'll feel like skipping. Moreover After so much time I've seen a movie without skipping forward. Chris Hemsworth has done a terrific job as Thor. His dialogs are great and are the only hints of good humor throughout the movie. I've always loved Natalie Portman. Tom and Anthony are good as well. The action scenes are pretty good and must have been great in 3D. Thor with a beard might look odd for the comic fans but it served well to me. Well yeah do wait for the end of the credits as there is another sequence just like Hulk and Iron Man. It seems they are all set for a grand plot for Avengers. Anyways the movie was very good for me. Scope for betterment surely remains but its a must watch. Great job done there.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World

GENRE : Fantasy | Comedy | Action

PLOT : Scot pilgrim must defeat the seven exes of her girlfriend in order to carry on with her.

REVIEW : Frankly I started on with this movie long back but felt it to be a little boring. Gathered courage to watch it again and to my surprise I enjoyed it after where I had left earlier. So guys just don't go by the start as its quite mocking. One thing you'll learn in the beginning itself that it has got a feel of video game, but that's just the start. Half hour in the movie, you'll gonna love it if you are pretty much into games. It may remind you of back years when you used to play them if you're old enough. The style of direction is the wow thing about this movie. The storyline is easily predictable. The acts are fine. All the visual effects are just adequate to manage the feel of a video game. The music is good. Few liners are good including the pac-man one and will make you smile. The co-relation of the movie can be felt if seen deeply as it follows the current code of conduct of the teenagers regarding their life.  Though I strongly feel that its not quite conveyed. All the way the movie is entertaining after the first half an hour with all the action sequences. Its a must for all video game lovers.

Source Code

GENRE : Mystery | Thriller | Sci-Fi

PLOT : Colter Stevens wakes up in a train next to Christina but finds out that he's a part of a project where his mission lies in detecting the bomber.

REVIEW : I must say a very promising concept. Its not something we haven't seen earlier but it is a refreshed version. Still I feel Ben Ripley failed to justice with the plot. Duncon Jones has tried to direct it with efficiency but it don't stand to the level it should have gone with the brilliancy in concept. At one point of time I started feeling bored with the repetition of things and going through the same thing again and again without any limit. This is the same thing that happened with Vantage Point. The movie is very good despite of all the facts but it could have gone par limits. Climax will be quite surprising for everyone I guess. But there is no such thing like repeated viewings to understand. The climax was amateur and is left to be on the viewer's interpretation. But it's not at all done with the elegance it was left in Inception for example. Viewers are left confused as no information regarding it has been given and the climax ends as well without explaining things. Anyways I liked the movie as I said but I wish it was more powerful and more vivid.

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

GENRE : Action | Adventure | Drama

PLOT : The former Fellowship of the Ring prepare for the final battle for Middle Earth as Sauron wages his war, while Frodo & Sam with the help of Gollum approach Mount Doom to destroy the Ring.

REVIEW : The final installment and the journey comes to an end. I can't believe that they were able to keep the theme up tight for the whole trilogy. This one is very long if you're watching an extended version and some scenes might seem stretching but nonetheless this one is again amazing. Seriously hats off to Peter Jackson for delivering such an extra ordinary series.  All the cast members did a terrific job again and likewise everything seemed great. The battle was grand and the CG compositing with visual effects also is stunning as ever. It feels odd as it comes to the end and you'll find yourself wanting for more. Inferior to the previous installment slightly but still a marvelous piece. The series truly is an epic and exceptional. Highly recommended to all.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

GENRE : Action | Adventure | Drama

PLOT : Story continues as Frodo and Sam continue on to Mordor to destroy the Ring. Whilst their former companions make new allies and launch an assault on Isengard.

REVIEW : I could not believe that a sequel can be that good. Even I felt that it was slightly better than the earlier one. The story concluded from the previous part and it have more wars going on which is a treat with marvelous CG effects. This time the pace was faster than the Fellowship of The Ring. The same efforts from Peter Jackson are clearly visible. Again everyone has done a great job in their respective acts. I could easily watch the extended version without getting bored. The character of Gollum is quite interestingly made fit in the story.  The battle of Isengard is what this one is wholly about. Its quite a lengthy war but its one of the jaw-dropper. Overall I think again every technical aspect touched almost perfection. Although I feel this one was better a little still I don't feel like giving it a perfect 10. Again a must watch.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

GENRE : Action | Adventure | Drama

PLOT : In a small village in the Shire a young Hobbit named Frodo has been entrusted with an ancient Ring. Now he must embark on an Epic quest to the Cracks of Doom in order to destroy it.

REVIEW : So much of a hyped movie and I hadn't seen till now. Also as I wanted to watch the extended versions in blu-ray in the first go itself as I already knew this is one hell of a movie. As expected the movie completely stands on the great hype which waves till today. Peter Jackson has done a terrific job in directing this piece. I never felt that its going lengthy except the start which was necessary to build the storyline. The movie is filled with CG elements and VFX, all rendered with perfection. The characterization of characters is perfect. The feel which builds up while watching that something big is gonna happen is the best part for me. It's filled with a suspenseful atmosphere. Every technical aspect seems to be near perfection. The background score I must mention is just amazing. So if you haven't watched then you're a fool like me. This one is a must watch.

Midnight Movie

GENRE : Horror | Thriller

PLOT : A midnight showing of an early 1970's horror movie turns to chaos when the Killer from the movie comes out of the film to attack those in the theater.

REVIEW : Watched this one as the plot was innovative and interesting to me but as I had expected, the same happened. Its good only for those who love mindless slasher flicks. And seriously its no different from any other slashers. The plot collapses after sometime and all that is left is the bloodbath and splatters of blood. Yeah on gore level its definitely good but on critical level, it fails. The execution of the movie is really poor with some bad acts menacing the situation further. The cinematography is nice with some nice camera angles to enhance the scenes. But that's the only good point in it. You may watch it if you don't have anything else to do as it won't bore you but its not at all upto the mark.

RATING : - - - 4 - - - - - -
