Advantages: acting, story, action packed
Disadvantages: duration of three hours

...of visual effects and acting, the fact that there are some fairly unknown actors playing some major roles helps with the fantasy feeling like a reality. if you've read the books then yyou maybe disappointed by the film as obviously there are bits that had to be missed out in order to cut the running time, if this is a major problem then i'd recommend you look into purchasing the extended edition. however if you havent read the books then this film ...
...film because of the action packed nature of it but girls there are plenty of advantages to the mainly male cast. this is not a film for you if you prefer short and snappy films as the running time is nearing 3 hours i believe. If you like the first film (the fellowship of the ring) then you'll love this one all the more if not for the story but for the battle at helms deep. it is worth seeing just for that! the story itself continues on from the ...

Advantages: Everything an action movie should have
Disadvantages: 3 hours long

KIng Kong is probably the most famous name in Hollywood. Not many film goers have not heard the name of the Giant Ape, but sightings have been a bit scarce on the big screen since the original 1933 Black and White production. I only saw this film once when I was young and I must say the impression was awesome. THere have been a few attempts to recreate the original on screen presence of a giant ape going beserk but none have really impressed. This ...

King Kong can ocasionaly be heard in the background but his identity is not revealed until he takes the heroine captive at a sacrificial ceremony run by the islanders native inhabitants.

The special effects are excellent ... Read review

Advantages: Intriguing characters and wonderful spcial effects.
Disadvantages: You are left wanting to see more.

I have watched League of Extraordinary Gentlemen many times and have never tired of the intriguing characters and each of their 'special' traights. Or indeed the special effects; especially those of ' The Nautilus', makes me wish I could see it first hand for myself. If, like me, you grew up reading Marvel comics then watching Daredevil will be like re-newing an old friendship. It reminds me of the stories I once read and is also an enjoyable film. ...
