Advantages: Fight choreography
Disadvantages: Not a good film

...dangerous and are considered abominations. Ultraviolet is a woman caught in the crossfire, affected by the virus but not controlled by it. She finds herself protecting a boy who has been marked for death by the government due to contamination, and has to fight the government and the forces that run it. Cast and Performances There is not much of a famous cast to mention, and, to be honest, it is hardly worth mentioning those who are in it. Milla ...
...William Fichtner as Garth does what he can with a dire script. The supporting cast holds no stars in the making, and there is a serious lack of character development. The writers and director Kurt Wimmer have not managed to make a good film here, unfortunately. My Opinion The one saving grace of the film is the fighting choreography. While it goes nowhere near to saving the film from a 1 star rating, it is done very well, and it is entertaining. ... Read review

With mass destruction threatening America and the realization that the woman he loves may no longer love him, Superman must once more ...
...to experience the last cinematic Superman franchise which featured the brilliant and sadly missed Christopher Reeves, but this latest reincarnation of the Superman franchise really does feel like a damp squib. Yes it is mildly entertaining, and the special effects are for the most superior to those which featured in the Superman films of the 70s/80s, but for me those are the only positives I can pull from a film which had so much promise but delivered ...

...asked me to go see Hancock with him I was actually slightly excited, as from the trailers it looks like a really funny film.. I was left wondering if I was going to be disappointed..?

...been to see the latest Indiana Jones film this morning and thought I would share my opinion on it. I have always been a fan of the Indiana Jones films and wondered whether this could live up to my expectations as after all it has been quite some time since the last instalment we had!

Advantages: It shows you just how bad hollywood movies can get
Disadvantages: It shows you just how bad hollywood movies can get

Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle is yet another example of a movie that has had a lot of good advertising but can prove a disappointment for some once you've watched it. In fact, I can list it as one of the worst big budget action movies I have ever watched. Why? First of all the acting was not impressive, especially coming from an all star cast, which included actors such as Drew Barrymore, Lucy Liu, Cameron Diaz, Demi Moore, Bruce Willis, Bernie ...
...goes to waste. There is also the fact that the angels are not required to do much acting, mostly posing and looking pretty. Another thing that absolutely killed me when watching this was the lack of really good special effects as I had hoped it would at least have if nothing else. If the acting is not good in an action movie I would love for the stunts and effects to be great at least. The fight scenes and special effects weren't the least believable. ... Read review
