This is an epic movie, because it brings back the kid in you: The story is about two sisters that discover the magical forest creature- Totoro. The girls develop a friendship with Toroto and they go on adventures; they fly through the forest at night and ride a magical 8 legged cat.

It doesn’t take much to understand what this story is about, so it’s suitable for all ages. Check it out it’s guaranteed to make you smile.

The average superhero movie can be good, and even great. They are exciting and action packed mixed in with a little love and a happy ending. Batman does all of the above, but ten times better than any superhero movie I have ever seen.

The darkness of the movie is amazing. Spiderman 3 tried to do it with black Spidey, but really failed. The Dark Knight is a powerful, rich, scary character, yet still shows great compassion for every citizen. Heath Ledger as the Joker will win every award there is available because he was amazing. I don’t remember believing in a character as much as I did the Joker. I really believed the Joker was insane, and at times felt sorry for him.

The most obvious difference from other superhero movies is that the Dark Knight doesn’t just scratch the surface. It goes deeper, questioning humanity and its morals. I can honestly say the Dark Knight is one of the best movies I have ever seen, and destroys any superhero movie I have ever seen.

What do you get when you combine the immense talents of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg? Crap. Indiana Jones was definitely one of the worst movies I’ve seen in a long time. It does a great job of pleasing the crowd it aimed for, but I really did not enjoy it and am forgetting it as I type.

The audience this movie was after was obviously the more nostalgic American crowd who love movies like Rambo…American action movie legends. The movie really stuck to its past and hardly updated the story and acting. Spielberg really just wanted to move the story line from the old Indiana Jones to the new so that he can make sequels and many more millions.

Don’t get me wrong, if you like really, really, really fake action movies with little story line and happy endings, this is the movie for you. I, however, don’t enjoy watching Indiana Jones being shot at by 50 men with AK-47s within a distance of 20 feet while Indiana escapes successfully on foot.

Where was George Lucas in this film?! The graphics were sufficient but his expertise could have been utilized so much more. And why the hell is Shia Labeouf the successor to Harrison Ford. Ford is the perfect white tought guy, but Lebouf is a nerdy looking skinny kid and doesn’t look tough to me at all. At least he’s a pretty good actor.

With all the hype and the combined talents of Lucas and Spielberg I have to be harder on this movie than I would another. It does well for a certain audience but it just didn’t do it for me…and I really like action movies.

I was so excited to see this movie, but was terribly disappointed. The story line is so loose, it’ll leave you so confused. There is a love scene that lasts for 5 minutes, that you would expect to play some part in the movie later on; nope, it doesn’t happen. After watching this movie, you won’t get what Three Kingdoms is actually about. It was a period in the history of China, where 3 warlords wanted to united China. But who cares, this movie doesn’t.

What this movie doesn’t lack is slow motion sword fighting. Every other scene there was a spear in somebody’s face and they would dodge it, by defying gravity. Also, the main character Andy Lau, is ridiculously strong. He fights a whole army by himself and survives- unrealistic to say the least.

Worst thing about this movie is that it has Maggie Q in it. Yes, the same Asian chick that stared in Balls of fury, a comedy based on making fun of ping pong.  When I saw her in this movie, playing a serious role, this movie really died for me.

This movie just goes to prove that even if you’re a good actor, Andy Lau, you can still make bad movies. Yet another upset for Asian movie lovers.

Yeah.

For those who love action packed films ‘Iron Man’ is a must see. For those whoe love superhero films ‘Iron Man’ is a must see. Overall it was a great movie that exceeded my expectations.

Most Comic book movies are cheesy with bad actors and a limited storyline. ‘Iron Man’ is none of this with actors Robert Downey Jr., Terrence Howard, Jeff Bridges, and Gwyneth Paltrow making it very believable. The storyline is not so outlandish, as in the Spiderman movies, and you feel that it is almost possible that ‘Iron Man’ could be built and exist today.

The film also mixes less cheesy romance with social commentary. It basically denounces the war on terror and the world’s obsession with creating the latest and most powerful weapons. The special affects are also very good and I definitely reccomend it to anyone who likes action at all.
