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 ...

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. ...

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 ...

Yo Adrian! I did it!

Advantages: Inspiring, motivational film
Disadvantages: None. You must own this

...dribbled to an end with Rocky V, but as it turns out, the old pug still has one more fight in him. Picking up in present day Philadelphia, a middle aged Rocky is now making a living running an Italian restaurant and entertaining customers with stories of his glory days. He isn't exactly a burn-out, but he's a man facing his autumn years with no real sense of purpose. Meanwhile, current heavyweight champion Mason Dixon faces growing public apathy ...
...between Dixon and an in-his-prime Rocky has Balboa come out on top. Dixon's promoters hit upon the idea of staging a one-off exhibition bout between the two men. For Rocky, it's just the opportunity he's been waiting for - a chance to exorcise his demons and prove that he can still go one more round. I must admit, I really didn't see how Stallone could make this film work with Rocky pushing sixty. Could he really pull off such a miracle? Could he ...

It's Rocky vs The Cold War!

Advantages: The montages
Disadvantages: It's a bit cartoonish and over the top

...left on this planet for Rocky to beat. He'd already prevailed over Apollo Creed, Mr T and even Hulk Hogan. His next opponent? The Soviet Union. A couple of years after his victory against Clubber Lang, Rocky is still on top. But a new threat emerges from behind the Iron Curtain in the form of Ivan Drago - a hulking Soviet boxer whose strength borders on superhuman. Drago is set to fight Rocky for the heavyweight title, but a patriotic Apollo Creed ...
...to avenge his friend's death, Rocky drops his heavyweight title and travels to Russia to fight Drago. Whereas Drago trains in a high-tech gym with scientists monitoring his every move, Rocky embarks on a mad strength training regime in freezing Siberian weather to toughen himself up. When the fight finally comes around, both men are in phenomenal shape and determined to win, but Drago is still much bigger and stronger. Worse, the entire Soviet crowd ...
