Quantum of Solace (2008)
You Got To Be Kidding Me!!!
One word could summarise this film, and that's awful!!! When I first heard of this film, I thought that it would very good as I'm a bond fan, but it has got to be the worst bond film ever, I mean Daniel Craig is a great bond actor, the acting was good. But the story completely sucked. I mean the entire film was suppose to be about Bond handling with the loss of Vesper, I don't see anything in that line anything about Greene Planet, the entire film could've done without them, even if they did want to put it in, they should've at least explained the background of them better. It all seemed rushed as well. It's like when you're making a building, a lot of thought and work has to go in it, this looked like it was stuck together with Pritstick glue. I just hope the next bond film is going to be much better.
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas (2008)
Excellent Film with a powerful message.
When I first heard about this film, I thought it was going to be a "kiddy" film. It was about a child, it was rated a 12A. So I thought it wasn't going to be good. Then I went to go and see it just to see what all the hype was about. From start to finish I was engaged in the storyline. The acting was excellent. The writing was perfect. The scenario couldn't have been better. Now I haven't read the book yet, but when I do, I hope that it is as engaging as this film. There was such a powerful message in it. It really shows us how cruel Nazi Germany was. I mean the way the Lt. assaulted that Jew because he spilled some wine, and the way the Dad just sat there. At that moment I just wanted to go into the film and help the Jewish person out. But the ending was where the real tear jerker was. Bruno (the boy) goes to the concentration camp to help Shmall (the Jewish boy (sorry if I spelt his name wrong)) find his father. He dressed up like the Jews so he wouldn't stand out. And then, just when you didn't think anything bad was going to happen, they get sent to the chambers. At the point I was in tears. It was really a sad and upsetting film. The only flaw I thought was the fact that they were all speaking English instead of German. Just to comment on the debate about that this film should be shown in schools for education, let me just say if you showed this film to kids aged under 15, you'll have a classroom of people sobbing and wishing that the war never happened. Another thing is that it should really be rated a 15 instead of a 12A. This is NOT for kids. Seriously.
Never the less, I'll still watch it again. It is that good.
Camp Rock (2008)
Not Much Of A Film
Storyline quite bland and short, not much in it. Was quite upset that the drummer never got a go on the drum kit. I mean how can you have a drummer NOT playing on the kit. Lovato's performance was a bit stringy. See was smiling so much it was scary. Although the performance from the Jonas Brothers was really good. I liked the birdhouse gag. The ending where Tes becomes all nice was very bad, and they didn't explain much about her relationship with her mother. All we know is that she is famous and doesn't make much time for her daughter, so what, more could've been told there. But I did like Brown's performance, it was really good. Another thing is though, it was too focused on singing, OK far enough there was some guitar, but not enough. And the genre of the music was too limited. OK, again there was rap, pop and pop rock, but where was the blues, the jazz, the heavy metal, I mean it is suppose to be "Camp Rock", and all they have is hip hop and pop, NOT GOOD ENOUGH. Overall, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
Iron Man (2008)
Best Film This Year So Far!!!
This is so far the only decent film this year. After seeing the poor performance of Cloverfield and National Treasure 2, 2 of the biggest hyped films of the year, I thought that most of the films budget is being spent on the marketing instead of the actual film, but I'm glad to be proved wrong by this film because it was completely awesome.
Filled with action, romance, some witty humour and excellent stock characters, (especially the "Dummy" robot, that was fun).
Storyline was excellent, a child prodagy grows up to be owning the worlds biggest weapons manufacture. He's arrogant, a womenizer, a drunk and doesn't really care much about anything. He goes to Afghanistan for a weapons testing (which is a really awesome weapon), and then gets captured by terrorists and gets a magnet strapped to him to stop him diing.
Now I've never read any of the Iron Man comics, so I didn't know what to expect, but now I just want to read the comics.
Now what really made this film work, was the twist in middle. The main enemy was not the terrorists, but one of Tony's best friends, now that was shocking, and paralyzing device was just so cool, and the battle at the end was great and funny.
Also the magnet thing strapped to his heart was the icing on the cake. The utter suspense of thinking that it will short circuit anytime and then he won't survive. But really how does he take a shower or go swimming, won't the thing short circuit.
Now the thing that I did now about, was Nick Fury and Shield. I was actually waiting for that because I knew Iron Man was apart of it. And then after the credits, when Nick just randomly appeared, I knew at that moment that the sequel is going to be completely awesome.
Another thing, the funnest part has got to be the part near the beginning when that terrorist dude dies for trying to get a headshot on Iron Man, but the bullets gets him in the head. VEry funny.
Well I guess that raps it up, next film is Hancock, see ya.
Cloverfield (2008)
A compete waste (no really it was)
The worst film of the century, seriously it was. it starts with 20 minutes of the film being wasted on a party for a dude who is going to Japan, then the movie actually starts. Monster comes, people scream, people die. The main dudes runs after some girlfriend who can miraculously walk after having a metal pole going through her chest, then cameraman dies (hooray), then film is over. Not much, and the shaky camera thing didn't help in anyway, it actually made it worst. The monster itself looked like some deformed thing at about the size of Godzilla and has the head of the future thing from the TV show Primeval. Completely unoriginal. Do yourself a favour, save your money (and the food you eat during the movie from coming back out) and watch something else, something more enjoyable like The Bee movie or some other animated #@!$£.
Transformers (2007)
Best Movie Ever!!!
This has got to be the best movie I have ever seen. Its' probably one of the few movies that has everything in it. Comedy, action, sci-fi, romance etc. I've been waiting for a proper Transformers movie ever since I watched the cartoon series or played with the toys from when I was younger. Shia LeBeuof did a great job as Sam Witwickey. The transformations were excellent and the graphics were out of this world., and it was great tieing in the military, it really gives the action side of the world. The comedy was good especially when Bumblebee lubricated on the FBI dude. The romance was good for all of you lovydovy people.
Eragon (2006)
good but lacked originality
this movie has got to be the best fantasy film i have seen since The Lord Of The Rings series, but it lacked orginality. The fight scenes were all good, but come on, a story about a DRAGON RIDER, it doesn't really seem to be a new idea, plus why did it have to be about a dragon, that is the most common mythical (apperently) creature, they've could've chosen a different type of creature to be the mount, they could've chosen another mythical creature, like a giant bat or a grifforn (a flying horse with a lions head). the graphics though was amazing, the magic scenes, and again the fight scenes were epic. I really hope the make the second part of it.
Mr. Bean's Holiday (2007)
Funny as
Mr. Bean is back with a vengeance This movie has got to be the funniest movie i have seen since the first Mr Bean movie. The movie has more laughter in it but also has more serious bits in it as well. William DeFoe did a great job as the abnouctions director. Rowan Atkinson really has made the return to the screens with a major impact with this film. It is even funnyer since it is in France,with him not understanding anything is the icing on the top. Another thing that was great was the addtion of some romance near the end, and is something you expect to happen to Mr. Bean. Plus having his home movie put on the big screen was a nice finish
Call of Duty 3 (2006)
Great game, but too short
This is the best FPS game I have ever played. It has great graphics and excellent gameplay. The cutscenes are top notch but the accents were a bit too much. The bad thing is that the levels were too short. I think it was a level where you were playing as the British, that level took me 10 mins to complete. And the whole game only took me 6 hours too complete, I don't know about you, but that is really quick as top quality games like Prince of Persia or MEdal Of Honour usually takes me around 10 or 20 hours too complete. The controls for the level where you had to row the boat could've been made easier as it was virtually impossible to do. And they took out the air missions which were a bit disappointing, but all in all, it is a great game.
Command & Conquer: Generals (2003)
worst game in the series
this game is the worst of the command and conquer series
they have removed certain featuers of the game that makes it command and conquer.
there is no longer a toolbar, so in the result of that there is workers/buldozers.
it has nothing to do with the tiberian series or the red alert series. I think the gameplay is awful, the graphics isn't good either, it looks to much of an animation rather than a realistic game. take my advice if you are a command and conquer fan, don't get this game.
THe only good thing I could say about generals is that it is in 3D
