Advantages: Excellent storyline and special effects, Well developed characters
Disadvantages: Tendency to rabble, nationalist humour

...for the past few years. Ultimate force plays well of the auora of mystery that surrounds the SAS. Although the dialouge does start to drift into the usual technical-jargon banter that occurs during this genre of television it more than makes up for it with its stunning special effects and deeply involved storyline that hooks in the viewer right from the start. A must for fans of any action or sci-fi series produced in the past or any ex-millitary ...
...value rather than acting as padding to make up for a mediocre ammount /quality of work. Due to its nature if you are of US origin i would advise against a purchase unless you have a good sense of humour as they play off american faults with sything british humour. ... Read review

Advantages: Fun, cheesy and hilariously over the top
Disadvantages: Stupid characters and acting, bad ending

What with the recent Wolfgang Peterson remake of The Poseidon Adventure (adventurously re-titled "Poseidon") hitting the big screens and consequently sinking just as disastrously as its titular ship, I thought it would be a good idea to plunge myself into the world of 1970s disaster movies. It would seem watery tales create mixed feelings with cinema goers (some hate this film, whilst a recent survey named it as the greatest disaster film ever), ...
...got my rubber ring at the ready and sat down to watch (duh duh duh) "The Poseidon Adventure"! The story (as if you don't know it already) tells of a luxury cruise liner, The Poseidon, which happens to be captained by Leslie Nielson. "Oh no" I hear you cry, but don't worry, he dies when it is hit by an enormous tidal wave on New Year's Eve. After flipping right over, some of the passengers (amongst them a renegade preacher played by Gene Hackman, ... Read review

Advantages: More exciting action scenes
Disadvantages: Can go over your head

...Neo has made. With the Matrix being one of the most exciting and complex trilogys of all time, it can be daunting to watch this film, however if you are a follower of the franchise it is something you will not want to miss. In my previous review I covered Reloaded, and you will want to watch that film before reading the entirity of this review. The 'to be concluded' ending of Reloaded is where we enter Revolutions, and the big subject at hand is ...
...and they go into the Matrix to hunt down this Traindriver. The Traindriver, although he appears more like a tramp, is in his element down in his tiny station and there is nothing Neo can do to overpower him. Morpheus and Trinity therefore have to go break into a club and speak with Merovingian and his wife, the French characters from Reloaded. In my opinion, both these characters play their role really well and put the rest of the cast to shame. ... Read review

Advantages: Fans of Muhammed Ali will love it !!!!
Disadvantages: I found it boring and unexciting to be honest.

...The film is based on Ali in his pomp (1964-1974), And a lot is fitted into the two- and- a- half- hours of film. We get Cassius Clay winning the world title, his conversion to Islam and the name Muhammad Ali, his refusal to fight in Vietnam, the stripping of his title and, finally, the superhuman effort it took to regain it against George Foreman. There's also the personal relationships with sports journalist Howard Cosell (Jon Voight), Malcolm X ...
...exciting as i thought it was going to be but it ok I guess wont say I watch it again but I guess if you were a fan of legendary Muhammad Ali (moves like a butterfly sting like a bee) then u probably enjoy this movie. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ...
