Review of The Forbidden Kingdom DVD by Phelthew

Advantages: Funny, great fight scenes
Disadvantages: Childish. Not a kung fu fan

Forbidden Kingdom is the first film to unite martial arts superstars Jackie Chan and Jet Li. I'm not a big fan of martial arts films myself but I'd seen almost everything else in the cinema and Jackie Chan films can be quite funny. The story unexpectingly starts off in Boston with a teenager named Jason who loves martial arts movies so much that he dreams about them. He is friends with an old Chinese pawn shop owner and he goes there often to buy ...
...him to help them rob the old chinese guy. This leads to the leader of the gang accidently killing the old guy. Jason is given the old guy's staff and told to return it to its rightful owner. He is then chased by the gang and falls off a building only to wake up in ancient China. Here he is hunted by the Jade Army. He meets a drunken travelling scholar called Lu Yan(Jackie Chan) along the road who saves his life via alot of very impressive Kung Fu. ... Read review

The Darker Knight
Review of The Dark Knight DVD by sghawken

Advantages: Chilling to the core
Disadvantages: Some underused characters

...first hit cinema screens across the globe, and now as I write this The Dark Knight takes the story on a seamless transition from one movie to the other. 2008's most anticipated movie would have been a blockbuster hit alone, but the death of one of the co-stars Heath Ledger an icon of our time solidified its place in history; when The Dark Knight opened a week ago in America it smashed box office record by achieving a whooping turnover of 67 million ...
...the already dark Batman Begins we were told The Joker was coming, and as The Dark Knight begins you're very well reminded of this, but now no longer just coming, The Joker is here. This time history does not repeat itself, from the old Adam West movies and TV shows to the 1989 movie The Joker onscreen has always provided amusement, that journey stops here. If you are expecting laughs from Heath Ledger's Joker be prepared for a nasty shock, and if ... Read review

The Dark Knight´s Tale
Review of The Dark Knight DVD by Puggers

Advantages: Excellent performances, chiefly from Ledger.
Disadvantages: Final third could have been a film in its own right.

With the passing of Heath Ledger in January of this year, there was always going to be an unusual kind of interest in this film, the sequel to 2005´s Batman Begins. As much as audiences are keen to see if director Christopher Nolan´s follow-up is as strong and hard-hitting as its predecessor, there´s also the inevitable semi-morbid curiousity that comes in seeing a well-known actor´s last role, especially so soon after his death. I´ve never been ...
...Here, though, he excels. While the film is good, Ledger is great - if an actor could choose a level of performance to go out on, this would be it. At the end of Batman Begins, Lieutenant Gordon (reappearing in this film, Gary Oldman) alludes to a villain at large in Gotham City whom Batman (Christian Bale) promises to track down. This villain, Ledger´s Joker, is Batman´s principal nemesis in Dark Knight, reprising the conflict last shown nearly ... Read review

Pirates of the Carribean: At The Worlds End.
Review of Pirates Of The Caribbean - At World's End DVD by Jesse6

Advantages: Johnny Depp(Savvy ?), Geoffery Rush. Enough said.
Disadvantages: only have three parts in the franchise of POTC.

...situation as King of the Pirates (Elizabeth Swan) should be knowing it. Well the best after Jack Sparrow is offcourse Geoffery Rush or you can say Hector( Babosa). A great perfomance as great as oscar winning. Enough said. The other perfomances by Lord Becett, Davy Jones, norrinton, Captian T, miss Fish are also great and worth watching. and comic perfomances by other actors was good too. A great line of story and good direction. In the nutshell, ... Read review

Best James Bond Movie
Review of From Russia With Love DVD by Jesse6

Advantages: Sean Connery, Outstanding perfomances, Good story.
Disadvantages: One bad perfomance.

From Russia with Love is one of the greatest movie of Sean Connery aka James Bond. Brilliant perfomance by Sean Connery. This movie is great because every character in this movie is strong that means perfomance by every individual is superb with an exception of Rosa Klebb(movie cast) coz her performance wasn't that good compared to others. James bond travels through Russia and resolves his case with his cool attitude, perfect style and attire. And ... Read review
