Darker and yet funnier than the previous films.
Advantages: Amazing special effects. Excellent acting.
Disadvantages: Unfaithful to the book in parts.
...film in its own right Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is one of my favourites of the series so far. This film is much darker than the others, the wizarding world has now admitted that Voldemort is back and Harry has to realise his ties with Voldemort more than ever before. Despite being a much darker film it is also more comedic than many of the others. The strong theme of romance and various different love stories give the film much needed ...
...are hilarious. The acting is of an excellent standard and Jim Broadment makes a welcome addition to the cast as Professor Slughorn. This film contains less action than many of the others, largely to focus upon the storyline and retell the wealth of information revealed in this book. In order to create more action there are several scenes in the film which do not appear in the book. Some I think work well (the dementors destroying the millenium bridge ...

A.L.I.E.N. - AN OUTSTANDING MOVIE !
Advantages: IT DOESN'T GET BETTER THAN THIS
Disadvantages: NOTHING
...they can about the weird alien ship. But what they find is the stuff of nightmares. With a superb cast of; Sigourney Weaver ... Ripley John Hurt ... Kane Ian Holm ... Ash (My Precious) Tom Skerritt ... Dallas Veronica Cartwright ... Lambert Harry Dean Stanton ... Brett Yaphet Kotto ... Parker Soon the horror will spread throughout their ship and people will start to die OR WORSE! With acid for blood and a built in drive simply to reproduce, ...
...The opening of the alien egg and the crawling thing that emerges is ghastly, when it decides to give Kane (John Hurt) a big kiss you know things are about to get ugly very quickly. The crew are simply out of their depth and simply cannot cope with what is about to happen to them. Only 'Jones' the ships cat knows what is happening and he soon makes tracks for the escape pod. The film was darkly shot but that was to its advantage because unlike more ...

They mostly come out at night..... Mostly.
Advantages: Great story, and sooo atmospheric
Disadvantages: none, not even to this day.
...original. Personally I think that Aliens is in this category. Now, I agree this is an outlandish claim. Ridley Scott's original Alien, is potentially one of the most atmospheric, and terrifying films of all time. In its time, it was perfect. The effects were great, and the performances exceptional. I believe that if I had of been writing this review ten years ago, then Alien would win hands down, but in today's market the award must go to the original's ...
...that has come out recently, Aliens is as enjoyable to watch now, as it was on its general release in 1986. The film was directed by James Cameron, who as we all know is one for creating a spetacle. His direction to the film is in stark contrast to Scott's original. Where Scott went for raw science fiction, and horror, Cameron has created a rip-roaring action adventure. I think it is plain to see that Cameron was heavily influenced by the recent success ...

Chessy but fun!
Advantages: Fun story
Disadvantages: A bit childish
...a fan club convention of Galaxy Quest. We then see a backroom shot of actors dressed in their respective costumes. There is Gwen (played by Sigourney Weaver, Alexander (played by Alan Rickman), Fred (played by Tony Shalhoub) and Tommy (played by Daryl Mitchell). They are upset that the main cast charecter Jason (played by Tim Allen) is late for the convention. Jason arrives and they go on stage. A group of "aliens" go up to Jason asking for his help. ...
...the ship they have built.
The film has cheesy acting and jokes and is similiar to Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy and Spaceballs. I like the story, I think the special effects are good and the charecters (human and alien) are good. Cant remember the soundtrack. ...

The Fifth Element review
Advantages: Good story, wacky costumes, gorgeous visuals
Disadvantages: None
The Fifth Element is a sci-fi fantasy action film written and directed by Luc Besson (who also directed Leon) and stars Bruce Willis, Gary Oldman, Ian Holm and Milla Jovovich.
Set 300 years in the future, cab driver and former special forces soldier Korben Dallas (Willis) is going about his day when a woman comes crashing through the roof of his taxi and asks for help. He obliges, and loses the heat that were following her. He soon finds out that ...
...been sent here to save the universe.
Every 5000 years, when the planets are in alignment, a great evil appears, and will kill every living thing it comes across. So the fifth element, along with the other four elements (which are stones with lines carved into them) have to travel to a special site in Egypt which focuses their power and turns the fifth element into a very powerful weapon. If the evil gets there before them, light will turn to dark, ...
