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 ...

Review of Spider-Man Trilogy (Blu-ray) (Box Set)

Rocky Yes

Advantages: The Whole Film
Disadvantages: -

...said in my review of Rocky Six (Rocky Balboa) there is nothing better than Rocky on Blu-Ray. Having the first Rocky on Blu-Ray really works. Right the run down. The World Heavyweight Championship Apollo Creed comes up with the idea of fighting a local Philadelphia underdog, Rocky. Creed does not initially take the fight seriously, but Rocky unexpectedly knocks him down in the first round and the match turns intense. And when I say intense I mean ...
...all of us, but without Rocky starting it. Do you think it would have court on? The training in this one I have to say is the best out of them all purely for its 'wow' factor, and it was the first time we heard the song which would be burned into our minds forever. Also because the film is so popular, Philadelphia Museum of Art has become a cultural icon amongst fans of the films. The soundtrack, I cant find a fault in it. All the songs were put into ...

Review of Rocky Balboa (Blu-Ray)

Great Buy For Fans Of The Series

Advantages: Look fabulous in HD, Lots of action
Disadvantages: Story wasn't true to comic book series, Lack of exclusive HD content

Spider-man 3 is a fun movie but not as enjoyable as the previous 2. I would recommend this to Blu-Ray owners and fans of the series. Peter Parker encounters 3 new enemies in this movie; The Sandman, The New Goblin and Venom. All three of them have their own grudge with Peter. Also the simbiot makes an appearance in the movie, a small substence that comes from space and finds a way to embed itself with peter making him more faster, stronger and evil. ...
...a sequal or not, like Spider-man 2 where Harry encounters his fathers goblin suit. On Blu-Ray the movie looks brilliant. Sony put a lot of effort on making this mavie look good as its a launch movie for its Blu-Ray line-up. A lot of special features have been added making this a 2 disc collection. With features like a 2 hour making of and audio commentary throughout the movie. However theres no exclusive Blu-Ray features to make this stand out from ...

Review of Spider-Man 3 (Blu-ray)

The Bigger the hit, the faster the rush, the Sweeter the revenge!

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) ...

Review of Crank (DVD)

2012 true or wrong

Advantages: I believe in god so I do not believe the end of 2012.
Disadvantages: 2012 film is entertainment. so make it fun for our minds

...if you buy the hype, 2012 is going to be the year of that will see the end of humanity, much like the earlier 2000s saw the downfall of TRL. The year of shock. Horror. Awe. Awe-some! I am currently much anticipating the apocalypse, especially if it involves John Cusack and will finally foresee that sinful state, California, falling into the Pacific Ocean, where it belongs, obviously. I am anticipating it as much as I did Y2K, with my gallons of water ...
...the claims of December 21, 2012 (in addition to it being my future wedding date), being the end of this current "cycle" we're upon. The Mayans were a very intelligent civilization for their time--they were able to calculate the time of day, and their mathematical accomplishments floored any Europeans' of the time. But there's a lot of controversy as to what December 21, 2012, signifies to them. Of course it's the end of their calendar cycle, but ...
