Spider, The Trilogy... Light-hearted fun

Advantages: Kid friendly, easy top watch, likable hero
Disadvantages: 20 minutes of the third film are BAD. Not very scary.

This series is less dark than many of the other comic book movies. The sort of thing you don't even hesitate to let your kids watch. My 8 year old sister loves these movies. The first film shows the making of spiderman, with the Green Goblin as his main enemy. It follows the comic books pretty closely and Kirsten Dunst is a lovely MJ. Maguire is good as spiderman because he's not got the cool factor, which suits the character. The biggest difference ...
...second film has Dr Octopus as the villain, leading to a lot of nice stunts using those mechanical arms to climb buildings and so forth. The third film has a 20 minute period in the middle with 'evil spider man' that is just wrong, appalling and should be deleted. You need to be cool to pull that off, cool butch and manly, Maguire bless him, isn't. Good otherwise though. I like the villain the most out of the three and the method for killing him was ...

Disadvantages: changes from full to wide screen Ion my ps3 dunno about actual blue ray player

The Dark Knight Introductiosn Dark Knight is the second serious film to the batman series. the first being batman begins and i must say, Dark Knight destroys batman begins in every way, better story, characters, cast etc. in this review, ill cover everything to try and get you to get this film, on blue ray of dvd. Story Dark Knight has so many twists and turns it unbelievable. its also full with action, romance, thrills and a few ...
...him. in this batman film the joker is a bit more of a terrorist than a criminal, with blackmail and hostages. batman has a sort of Q from james bond and a new good guy Harvey who is a sort of polatictian who has a dark ending. Cast Dark Knights cast is absolutly outstanding, they may not be brad pitt, tom cruise and keria knightly (they're really famous) but it has actors that act just as well if not better. a special congrates to Heath Ledger ...

00Heaven?

Advantages: fresh approach to bond
Disadvantages: not the classic bond attitude

As I was lucky enough to get this movie on blu-ray for free from Sony, I had to watch it in high definition. Truly stunning, awesome quality on a pretty good bond movie. It has enough action in, and is generally a good movie, however I feel that Sony have placed too much in-movie advertising.. the sony viao laptops, the sony ericsson phones, and the sony blu-ray player and discs. But if you're into the movie you wont notice that, it doesnt exactly ...
...Daniel Craig plays in beautifully, although he's not quite the same 007 as what I am used to.It's the littel things really, for example when he is asked shaken or stirred... shaken right?... no apparently he doesnt give a damn. The movie gets straight into action, and then calms down, and then action, and calm and then action... it goes up and down over and over. But the ending is good and I'll not give away any spoilers. Now if I didn't get this ...

Journey at a new dimension

Advantages: 3D effects, screenplay
Disadvantages: not a strong storyline, similar to Indy jones

Journey To The Centre Of The Earth Personal Opinion = Very good in 3D part. My view I like 3D movies, obviously like all of you out there. It's very rare to see such kind of movies. Also i read this novel and the novel was just superb which eventually made me to watch this movie. But I only watched this movie here in my place without the 3D effect. :-( in theatres. I was sad as i wanted to see this movie in 3D in theatre. But later i ...
...version too. When i saw for first time i saw this movie in theatres, it was really a good movie to enjoy. Though it had some major flaws and raises doubts in the minds of the audience this movie was very much enjoyable and was a good time-passer too. Even without the 3D effects this movie was good as one can visualize the effects very well. You can get what i'm trying to say. Even when watching this movie without the 3D, one can ...

My Grandad in a film!!

Advantages: Ok storyline, good action
Disadvantages: Harrison Ford should not act out own stunts from now on

...is a real fan of Indiana Jones and even put me through watching the previous 3 films before we received this one, just so we were familiar with the stories, not that I could ever forget. We are taken to 1957 where Dr Henry "Indiana" Jones (Harrison Ford) has been captured by Colonel Doctor Irina Spalko (played by Cate Blanchett) and her convoy of Soviet agents who lead Indiana to Hanger 51 where in previous films we discovered is where the Government ...
...Irina wants Indiana to locate something for her that is contained within the Hangar and it is here that Indiana realises that his partner Mac (played by Ray Winstone) is actually helping the soviet's in order to gain a large payout. They leave with their wanted treasure and Indiana Jones manages to escape, how I wonder as Harrison Ford in his sixties is a lot less agile than in the earlier films as you would come to expect and this is clear as we ...
