Certainly not the end of the world

Advantages: Captivating, intriquing storyline and unpredictable
Disadvantages: Some scenes were too long

...to go and see The Pirates of the Caribbean for it’s UK premier along with my twelve year old daughter and her friends, I was uncertain for two reasons. One, I had had a very late night the previous night and two, I had not seen Pirates of the Caribbean 2, Dead Man’s Chest. After settling myself down for the three hour stint and enduring the big feature previews, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the film held my attention well. Having omitted ...
...to the preceding sequence of events, but the assumptions I made during the movie helped fill in the gaps reasonably well and the film was not too hard to follow (I understand some people find the plot very confusing anyway and I confess, I didn't fully understand the story in it's entirety). The first thing that caught my attention was the magnificent set, CGI generated of course but the artistry and design skill of the film makers were tremendous ...

ROBOCOP TRILOGY DVD ------------------- Back in the late 1980's we finally saw a change in the way robot movies were made. Up until this time Robots were mostly just men dressed in silver painted cardboard boxes, and they were nearly always the enemies. Well that was about to change with Paul Verhoeven's vision of near future Detroit These films were a dream for toy manufacturers everywhere, as soon as you'd seen Robocop or ED-209, you knew ...
...some nice detailed pictures of Robocop and ED-209 pasted all over it. Each movie comes on its own dvd, although only the first one offers any decent extra's. --ROBOCOP 1-- Peter Weller plays Alex Murphy, a street cop, that has been relocated to the old Detroit area. This area is soon to be demolished and replaced by some nice shiny new buildings, the problem is that the area has become infested with crime. Most of the crime in the area is caused ...

Review of Pirates Of The Caribbean - The Curse Of The Black Pearl (Blu-Ray)

Fitting but not fantastic

Advantages: Brilliant graphics
Disadvantages: Lacks a sparkle that the other films had

...impressed by the first two Pirates of the Caribbean films I was eager to see the third film, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. I must admit however that although I enjoyed this film it simply wasn't as good as its predecessors and lacked a certain sparkle that the others had prominently displayed. The film itself was released in 2007 was a 12 certificate. It has the same all-star cast as the previous films but this time delves deeper into ...

Advantages: Great action packed film, Great actors, Good storyline
Disadvantages: You may not be able to get into the story-line!

...WHSmith. ***CRANK 2*** Crank 2: High Voltage was released this year and contains Jason Statham again. Chelio’s tears through the town in search for the Chinese criminal who has possession of his heart. Amy Smart, Dwight Yoakham, and Efren Ramirez revisit their roles from the original film. ***OVERALL OPINION*** I think Jason Statham is a fantastic actor anyway and I have to say that I loved this film. It was full of action and also has some funny ...
...I wouldn’t hesitate to watch Crank 2. My dad did how-ever borrow the DVD and after 30mins he switched it off as he couldn’t quite get into the film. If you like Jason as an actor and if you like his other films I think you with thoroughly enjoy this film. I would recommend it to anyone who like’s action packed films. (review als on dooyoo) ...
