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~ ...

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, ...

Chic Flic. Rom Com.
Advantages: Alan Ricman
Disadvantages: bit corney
The tale of Robin Hood and his merry men told AGAIN, only this time half the cast of the men of Nottingham have American accents. Hollywood has defiantly put its paw print on the tale in its usual way. All the main actors are American good guys British Bad guys, ...but were used to that aren't we?
You know that is what it is going to be like, get over it and you get to watch a really funny, action packed feel-good movie. Its worth the watch just ...

Highway to the pilotless danger zone
Advantages: Enjoyable
Disadvantages: Nothing special
...a completely automatic and independent stealth plane, virtually capable of thinking for itself. Requiring no pilot, the plane, EDI (pronounced like Eddie), joins them, but it isn't too long before ulterior motives and some highly dangerous and precarious situations reveal that there is more to the military project that initially meets the eye.
Okay, so the plot doesn't seem particularly complicated, and this is the case throughout. There are a few ...
...but even so, it's an hour and a half of fun, and I recommend giving it a go.....without a critical mind! Stealth is available from amazon.co.uk and other variou online and in the street stores and shops - prices vary but expect to pay no more than about a fiver! ...
