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, ...

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 ...
