Batman Begins/ Dark Knight Blu Ray Box
Advantages: Great Films, Good Value for Blu Ray
Disadvantages: Still cheaper to buy normal DVD and the difference isnt that huge
...Nolans Excellent Screen Conversion of The Caped Crusader
Both films are set in the dark and dirty city of Gotham, the stories follow Batman as he fights crime and generally saves the day.
Batman Begins: This film basically sets the scene for the probable next few batman films, we see bruce waynes story from the murder of his parents... to overcoming personal demons and rising to become the batman. While stopping along the way to kick Scarecrow ...
...packing in his job as the Batman, theres a new politician in town... a Mr Harvey Dent,and he is doing a great job of cleaning up Gotham so why would Gotham need a Vigilante..... because the jokers in town thats why. I have to honestly say joking aside.... Heath Ledgers performance in this film is nothing short of AMAZING, he will make you walk around asking people " Why So Serious" Trust Me.... buy this film... just to see him in his final and finest ...

You Wanted Me, Here I Am
Advantages: An excellent Screenplay, brilliant performances and a very enjoyable movie
Disadvantages: Other than the sad death of Heath Ledger none
Having established himself as the protector of Gotham City, Batman sets out with the help of the District Attorney Harvey Dent and Police Lieutenant Jim Gordon to bring down the largest Criminal organisations. Their plans take a bit of a diversion though when a new mastermind takes control of Gotham's crime syndicate. The Joker demands that Batman unmask himself and sets off on a killing spree to try and ensure it happens. The real question for the ...
...been over a year since the follow up to Batman Begins was released but yesterday rather than head to the cinema we decided to finally watch it. Having heard nothing but good things about it and loving the previous film it seemed almost unbelievable that we hadn't watched it yet. Where Batman Begins had in my opinion taken the Batman films to a new level I was hoping that The Dark Knight would carry on this progression and I certainly wasn't disappointed. ...

Explosions, Explosions and more Explosions!!!
Advantages: 3 films for the price of 1
Disadvantages: No extras
...seperately, so here goes:
Broken Arrow
The Story is so simple and typical of an american writer, 2 Air Force pilots are pitted against each other in a race to recover two stolen nuclear warheads.It makes you wonder what realy happens over in america, they seem to lose more nuclear weapons than i care to imagine!!! What transpires is a Fast Paced action adventure that makes you wonder what incredibel feat will the main stars (Travolta, Slater) do ...
...myself during watching!(Namely after the scene on top of the train, i added "It's been a while since anyone has shot between her legs")
Worth watching as it has good entertainment value.
I still thoroughly enjoyed this film, yet it was not a remarkable performance by any of the cast nor director!
Director:- John Woo
Cast include's:- John Travolta, Christian Slater, Delroy Lindo
Run Time:- 104mins approx
The Siege
This was the main film that ...

As So The Story Begins
Advantages: Good action, great effects, good storyline
Disadvantages: Batman's voice!
...curious to find out how Batman began and what made him want to be him. I am so glad that I did as I so enjoyed the film. As I said previously this was watched on the TV so this is a FILM ONLY REVIEW.
At the start of the film we see a very young Bruce Wayne playing with his friend Rachael when he falls down a well and is attacked by bats. He suffers nightmares from this and when he is at the opera with his parents and there are bat like actors on ...
...was keen to know how Batman became what he did and I have to say that I was not disappointed in anyway. I think the only downside to the film for me was the role of Christian Bale as I did not like him playing the role in the Dark Knight either. He was great when he was playing Bruce Wayne and even when he put the Bat suit on but as soon as he opened his mouth as Batman it just went wrong! I loved how he managed to portray the hurt he was bottling ...

JT 'trouser snake' fights cop corruption
Advantages: Great cast. JT's first acting role
Disadvantages: Poor script. Not as good as it could have been
...in the fictitious city of Edison the film opens with Officer Rafe Deed (LL Cool J) and his colleague Sgt. Frances Lazerov (Dylan McDermott), from F.R.A.T. (First Response Assault & Tactical) on their way to a raid. They find money from drugs and then force two men on their knees. Lazerov is clearly enjoying waving his gun around and then tells Deed to shoot one of them. Not being able to go through with it Lazerov takes charge and shoots one of them ...
...him on screen it's clear that Lazerov is a psycho and Deed is the one with a conscience. Later on Deed is testifying at the trial. They've made the other man say he shot the other one in the head as he came at him with a knife. Fearing for his life the accused takes responsibility for shooting him and is sentenced to 18 months in prison. Josh Pollack (Justin Timberlake) is a reporter who is present at the trial and he senses that something isn't ...
