...in order to keep the pirates in line. Elizabeth follows her heart and really shows off the romance in the the film which only adds to the already fantastic qualities the film possesses.

Review of Pirates Of The Caribbean - The Curse Of The Black Pearl (DVD)

Great Films

Advantages: Great Storyline
Disadvantages: I feel the ending was slightly rushed.

Excellent Trilogy, it is one of my personal favourites of all time. I would recommend it to anyone of any age. There are a few scenes a of violence but there is nothing terrible or life changing in it. The films are very watcheable and addictive with a thriling storyline. The films are full of great special effects, sometime it leaves you wondering whether it's actually real as it's so convincing. Amazing characters, for instance Davy Jones looks ...

Review of Pirates Of The Caribbean Trilogy (Box Set) (DVD)

Certainly not the end of the world

Advantages: Captivating, intriquing storyline and unpredictable
Disadvantages: Some scenes were too long

...to go and see The Pirates of the Caribbean for it’s UK premier along with my twelve year old daughter and her friends, I was uncertain for two reasons. One, I had had a very late night the previous night and two, I had not seen Pirates of the Caribbean 2, Dead Man’s Chest. After settling myself down for the three hour stint and enduring the big feature previews, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the film held my attention well. Having omitted ...
...to the preceding sequence of events, but the assumptions I made during the movie helped fill in the gaps reasonably well and the film was not too hard to follow (I understand some people find the plot very confusing anyway and I confess, I didn't fully understand the story in it's entirety). The first thing that caught my attention was the magnificent set, CGI generated of course but the artistry and design skill of the film makers were tremendous ...

Review of Pirates Of The Caribbean - At World's End (Blu-ray)

Return of the Dark Knight

Advantages: Tim Burton, Michael Keaton
Disadvantages: Batman and Robin, George Clooney, Nipples on the suit!

...set contains the first 4 Batman films, and the great thing about this box set is that it is cheaper than buying the films individually, and it chronicles the change in the Batman genre, from dark and moody (Burton), to more slapstick and comic-book like (Schumacher). And so we begin with Batman (1989). This is not an origin story, like Batman Begins, instead, the film picks up with Batman already well established as a masked vigilante, putting the ...
...a bell tower showdown. Batman is a very dark affair, but watching it, even now, it's not difficult to see why this film became (at the time) one of the top 10 highest grossing films ever. Burton paints a dark, decrepit, devastating Gotham City, whilst Michael Keaton was born to play the dark knight. Jack Nicholson, as usual, steals the film with one of the great super-villain displays, as the demented Joker. Next to Batman Returns, which sees the ...

Review of Batman (Movie Box Set) (DVD)

The movie Top Gun was the first of its kind for military movies

Advantages: Action packed, thrilling, great storyline
Disadvantages: Doesn't follow the exact truth of the real top gun

In my opinion, Top Gun was the first of its kind in relation to the military drama and action. They used real footage of F-14s and F-5s out in the desert and caught the footage from chase planes and positions on the ground. As well as the film footage of the outside of the planes is, the footage from inside the cockpit(s), are, in my opinion, crappy and unrealistic. Although, given the technology of the time the movie was filmed, the director did ...
...in the show, came from Top Gun. If the scene was supposed to be at night, they changed the lighting in the film to make it seem as if it was taped at night, but really they just took the film shot during daylight for Top Gun and darkened it. The same goes for any scenes where the pilots are supposed to be going against Migs in the t.v. show, they took the old Top Gun F-5 footage and used it instead. The storyline, although entertaining, funny, action ...
