Advantages: its is just an excellant film ... what more can i say?
Disadvantages: it is in my opionion addictive

...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. Geoffrey Rush "Captain Barbosa" Captain Barbosa is whats known as the bad guy of the film. He is led by greed and spite. Barbosa and his bunch of wicked mis-fit pirates are cursed from aztec gold that Barbosa led them to, now the crew and Barbosa are forced to ...
...barbosa steals the Black Pearl from Jack Sparrow and sets upon a quest to recover all of the aztec gold in order to lift the curse, yet as well all know it really never is that simple!!! THE FILM ... The film is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski and is 137mins long. It is rated 12 due to moderate horror and cation violence. This film is amazing, with its special effects leaving the viewers in amazment as to how well the ...

Not all that Grimm

Advantages: The visuals
Disadvantages: The acting isn't great

...in a film finally!) playing the brothers Grimm in a film that uses ideas from their many stories and fairy tales to bind a common theme. The 2 brothers are con-men and use folk tales to hoodwink stupid villagers out of their money for almost no work on their part. This is at least until they are nearly caught then have to face a real fairy tale! They are assisted by Mackenzie Crook (mostly known for The Office in the UK) and the other chap whose ...
...brilliant. Steal Hansel and Gretel, Rapunzel, The ginger bread man, Snow White, Cinderella, Rumpelstiltskin, and then mix them all together. Watch it. Love it then watch it some more. This is a film adults and kids will enjoy many times. (this review also appears on dooyoo) ...

The Irish Bond.

Advantages: All of the Brosnan films in one box with decent extra's.
Disadvantages: Product placement gets worse by the last film!!

...after the last Bond film, James Bond returned in Bond 17. ----The Films---- GoldenEye (1995) This was the first vehicle that Brosnan appeared in and for me this is probably the better out the four films he made. It is moody, dramatic and will have you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. Although in some places it does step up toi the line of unbelievable it does not cross it to the extent that a film like Charlie's Angels did. The ...
...with the plot revolving around rouge agent 006 who steals the GoldenEye weapon with the intent of wiping out the Bank of England and all computer records in the City Of London. The weapon itself explodes a nuclear bomb in space and uses the electro magnetic pulse to wipe out anything below within a 30 mile radius, effectively eliminating the use of all electrical equipment. The cast is made up of multi national actors, Sean Bean as 006, Joe Don ...

Captain Jack and His Jar of Dirt!

Advantages: Great story, super acting, quite funny in places
Disadvantages: None

After loving the first Pirates film I just had to watch the second! The second in the series is called Dead Man's Chest and again it stars Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley. The film starts with Elizabeth and Will trying to get married but before this happens Will is arrested and so is Elizabeth. They are sentenced to death for helping pirates. Will manages to evade the death penalty by agreeing to help capture Jack and return a compass ...
...of Davey and the other pirates who were part of his crew were all very good and sometimes they were quite scary. I did jump more than once when they would suddenly appear from walls and unusual places. I liked the way they had body parts turned into sea creatures from being under the sea for so long, this was a great way of portraying their punishment. The effects in the film were all very good and very believable. My Mom watched this film several ...

Tomorrow is just another day for Bond

Advantages: Great modern work all round
Disadvantages: Ever so slightly lacks Cubby Broccoli's magic

Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) is the 18th Bond film, and the second starring Pierce Brosnan as James Bond. Brosnan's first outing as Bond in Goldeneye in 1995 was a great success following a 6 year gap since Timothy Dalton's Bond in Licence to Kill in1989. Goldeneye bridged the gap following the end of the Cold War and the reduction of Soviet villains for Bond, and paved the way for a more modern Bond dealing with more topical issues, as we see here ...
...Goldeneye. While there was success, Tomorrow Never Dies did not rise straight to the top of the box office chart as it was released on the same day as Titanic - not necessarily an error on anyone's part, for who would have thought anything else could have outsold a Bond film? But it did, even though the total amount taken at the box office was more than Goldeneye. Bond musical legend John Barry again opted out of adapting music for the film, but ...
