King Kong Movie Review

Advantages: lots of action
Disadvantages: too long and King Kong arrives after a while when the film begins.

...appearance of the massive beast, King Kong and I think it was totally useless to wait this long for the monster. A film is usually 1 hour and 30 minutes long but this movie had introduced King Kong like as if a movie had already ended. To be honest, a 2 hour film would be enough to watch but will viewers watch it film over 3 hours? I feel very sorry for the ones who watched it at the cinema! Nevertheless, I was thrilled at some points of the movie ...
...However, one thing that touched me about the film was when King Kong had shown love towards the women. It is like a relationship was evolving between them and at the end, I nearly went into tears after seeing the King Kong die after saving the women's life several times. ...

Did you leave a cigarette burning?

Disadvantages: Some very cheesy lines

It's the launch party for the newly constructed, 138 storey skyscraper in the centre of San Francisco, supposedly the world's tallest skyscraper. With loads of prominent dignitaries and celebrities invited to the gala celebration, it is going to be a night to remember as they party on the 135th floor. After some wring short circuits in one of the systems, architect Doug Roberts believes that the skyscraper has not been built to his stringent specifications ...
...attempt to bring the development in under budget. As the party gets into full swing, a fire breaks out on the 81st floor, caused by more dodgy wiring, and the fire service are called. The fire quickly spreads and although the firemen do their best to stop it, they are pretty helpless 81 floors above the ground. As more fires start appearing, the party goers find themselves trapped and helpless in the penthouse. Now it's up to the chief of the fire ...

King Kong, THE NEW DVD

Advantages: Fantastic action scenes and special effects
Disadvantages: Some missing bits

...are lots of scenes in King Kong that can be funny and hilarious (seeing King Kong, the giant ape, jumping through the sky, demolishing everything in its way,) but at the same time it also achieves terrible horror, seeing King Kong destroying and rampaging through towns and streets, destroying everything and anything. It never gets boring—Kong’s dramatic style and episodes makes every part of the film intriguing and exciting. Kong is a huge giant ...
...path. He is very tall, wide and looks menacing. He wipes the tops off houses and brings aeroplanes down to the ground in anger. He is a man-eating beast, making the movie what it is. The sound and graphics are great, making a sense of mystery, shock and terror. In the limited edition DVD, it comes with a bonus DVD with the “extra parts.” On this second DVD are personal stories of the actors, pre-production, extra and special scenes as well as special ...

...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. ...
