G.I. Joe - The Rise Of Cobra

Advantages: Some Good CGI, Good Story
Disadvantages: Lacks Humour, Eccleston's Scottish Accent

I went to the cinema to see this quite soon after it was released, but totally forgot about putting anything about it one here. After reading a review on the film it reminded me to write my own review, so here it is. The story follows two members of the army Duke (Channing Tatum) and Ripchord (Marlon Wayans), who join the "Joes's" after they encounter some problems. They first have to prove themselves worthy of a place on the team, before they set ...
...nano-technology to destroy whatever he wishes. My first impressions of the movie were good. You don't have to wait long before bullets start flying and things start blowing up. The first example of this has some impressive explosives and you also get a glimpse of the special effects, which were going to be on show throughout the movie. Once the movie started getting going, I became very interested in the main story. It moves at quite a fast pace, ...

G.I. Joe- Rise of Cobra-- highly entertaining

Advantages: Visuals,Concept
Disadvantages: half baked love story.

G.I Joe is one film you dont want to miss.You might actually have less expectations from this film,especially after the struggle of similar films(such as Watchmen and Spirit),but you will be pleasantly surprised after watching this. Basic plot~ A simple premise consisting of two opposite forces trying to acquire 4 warheads which can destroy complete cities when activated.A much larger picture lies underneath with the involvement of U.S. presidency ...
...comic book film with a larger than life,futuristic concept. Things to watch out for~ The graphics are nothing short of mindblowing and a staggering amount of money and work has been put into it.You will simply be blown away with the use of technology and graphical enhancements.The fast paced screenplay and decent performances make sure there is enough action going on.The car chasing sequence deserves a special mention and is adrenaline pumping! Drawbacks~ ...

...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)

The fast was fast and the furious were furious

Advantages: Effects, Performance
Disadvantages: Ending

Overall the movie turned out not to be as boring as I thought it would be. When I heard about it I thought "great another movie about fast racing cars". After wathching it, my opinion changed. The actors/actresses performances were very well done. The effects made you hold your breath untill the sence was over and want to know what happens next. Being that I watched it after the fourth one was already out It was perfect Knowing ther was more to come. ...
...see this back round info.The reason it was good instead of excellent was because of the ending, which was really cool but could have been better. Unfortunetley, withut spoiling the movie there is only so much I can tell you. Thankyou for reading and I hope It was Excellent. ...
