I... will you... my power

Advantages: Fantastic soundtrack and brilliant stunts
Disadvantages: A little far fetched

...friend of mine suggested seeing The Covenant at the cinema when it first came out I wasn't too enthusiastic but decided to go anyway. All I can say is that I'm glad I did, as the film I saw was fantastic. The energy, power but also the empathy it created was immense and the soundtrack one of the best I'd heard in a while. Looking at how others have rated the film however I think I may be on my own. Ok I have to admit that the story is a little far-fetched ...
...Personally I really enjoyed the film, I can't say it's one of my favourite ever films but it is certainly something I would watch again. The Covenant tells the story of four young students in Massachusetts, known as the Brothers of Ipswich, are joined by their sacred ancestry and powers are nearing the age, 18, where they will receive powers that are far greater than those they currently hold. The powers however come with an exceptionally high price, ...

Just don't go to Slovakia.........

Advantages: Good thrills, gore and some well-developed scenes
Disadvantages: Under-developed characters, weak plot

...got a night in, but Hostel lacks a proper, solid plot or character development to ever become a 'classic.' The director, Eli Roth, concentrates too much on, 'what is the most violent, sickening way to kill someone, that I can show on screen?' He instead should be concentrating on developing his killers characters, and also developing the victims characters, in order to make the audiences feel for the killings. Still, the cinematography and special ...

There back to kill!!Beth

Advantages: great special affects-boring actors
Disadvantages: Eli Roth ruined the story

...worser movie than the original hostel because In every scene it seems that all the girls are smiling for no reason and the girls should have been hotter like classical movies where the hot girls always die. And the movie is not even that scary because the atmosphere does not provide enough scariness also Eli Roth has ruined this movie which ha the potential to be much better like he ruined the first one. Although i have to give him credit because ...
...did a good job with the special effects, because most of the death scenes look very cool and unnecessary like when a kid gets shot in the head by a man and shows a close up on the kid that got shot. Cast (Cast overview, first billed only) Lauren German ... Beth Roger Bart ... Stuart Heather Matarazzo ... Lorna Bijou Phillips ... Whitney Richard Burgi ... Todd Vera Jordanova ... Axelle Jay Hernandez ... Paxton Jordan Ladd ... Stephanie ...
