Reviews

It's my honor and pleasure ladies and gents to write my first review of The Lord of the Rings to you, a film that was a famed obsession of mine when I was a small child. The third one is my favorite film of all time as of now, and I will be even more excited when I eventually end up writing this one review in particular to you. Just saying. But, let's begin rolling now shall we. Here we go. In this beautifully scripted and finely directed first movie to a now legendary trilogy, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring has astonishing, Oscar-winning special effects (even if not all of them are quite "there" yet, which is a bit disappointing but understanding and forgiving for the time this was all made), and more importantly still, a classic and epic tale of good versus evil that's fascinating, at the menu. Though the film frustrates me for the fact that it fails to offer me such a compelling, powerful, and unforgettable experience, I still very much praise the film overall, if just not for its intellectual level unfortunately. The cast of The Fellowship of the Ring is excellent and flawless. And each one of the characters brings exactly the right kind of tone that's needed for the movie. The redefinition of the fantasy film genre in general is also a striking element in here that's worth taking into account, and this is made notably clear by the fearsome, first-time appearance of the menacing Ring Wraiths, mysterious black riders without a face (what?), and the frightening, burning Eye of Sauron (oh dear) whom we all know is the main antagonist, the truest villain of this trilogy - the Ring Wraiths being only the minor, yet still principal villains of the franchise, but just serving Sauron for his evil purposes of conquering and dominating the whole of Middle- Earth. But that's not all there is to say of positive. There's also that scene fight in the movie which takes place inside the Mines of Moria and finds the Wizard Gandalf opposing the fiery and monstrous Balrog, a devilish cinematic creation of first class, a true monster, and which is my favorite scene in the whole film and which for sure gotta be the best one in the film for anyone. I'm in love with that scene and it keeps playing back in my mind at times, particularly the moment in the beginning of the second movie already which curiously looks back at that scene specifically again and gives an extended insight of the aftermath of Gandalf's brave and ruthless one-stand fight against the Balrog, as we all witness his unexpected and tragic fate when he accidentally ends up falling down with the Balrog... and deep down you see him go, with the camera following closely all the way. This one I have to say really feels like a pure and iconic redefinition of a movie character's courageous and mortal sacrifice to save all others. Talking about that, the Ring also is something of a pure and iconic redefinition: a simple, innocent-like ring object, yet which carries the doom to befall the whole world and which must be destroyed in order to end all evil currently spreading. But that I believe is more obvious. Or is it? For further comments, I definitely praise the actor Ian MacKellen (is that how you spell his name?!) who shines in his performance as Gandalf, the memorable music, stunning cinematography, neat editing, grabbing opening narrative (with the right kind of voice) which really helps settle the mood for the viewers for when the plot starts to kick in, the film-mic look of JRR. Tolkien's Middle-Earth universe, subtle filming, and decent plotting. As you can clearly see for yourself, so many good things to point out about The Fellowship of the Ring. To Peter Jackson and his whole film-making crew that contributed to the making of this film, I say well done to them, for they all did an impressive job on this movie. They all worked well here. Keep it up. And for you guys, see you all in my next review for the sequel to The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers. I hope you enjoyed reading this review I just wrote. My rating for The Fellowship of the Ring: 7.0, 1 or 2/10

For me, The Lost World: Jurassic Park is a persuasive argument for the continuation of the franchise, and a worthy and suitable sequel, despite the fact that it doesn't generate the same sense of enjoyment as the first movie. Nevertheless, I think that The Lost World: Jurassic Park still succeeds as a sequel to Jurassic Park on a few things, such as bringing a substantially darker imagery to the screen, a stronger (though somewhat under-developed) plot, more dinosaurs and more breathtaking visual effects, and the result is that the dinosaurs are more believable and life-like than in the first Jurassic film. However, these aren't the only things that the second Jurassic movie managed to improve upon. The movie also offers plenty of brilliant, top scenes, such as I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU CALL THIS KIND OF LONG TRUCK being half run over a high and dangerous cliff by the T- Rex, the T-Rex struggling to fit its big mouth and tongue inside a small-spaced cave from behind a waterfall, in order to eat the main characters, the T- Rex entering its big head through an opening tent and sniffing on the two main, struggling-to- be- silent characters who are in their beds, the bloody attack of many tiny dinosaurs on the mercenary guy, the T-Rex walking in the American streets and more still. The dialog is another very strong element in the film and flows in an incredibly and smoothly efficient way. Once again, Steven Spielberg delivers us a reasonable amount of screen time with two of the fiercest dinosaurs ever to have ruled the earth: the T-Rex and the Velociraptors (I know, I'm doing the same phrasing as in my Jurassic Park review, sorry for that). One of the scenes that I loved in this film is Jeff Goldblum's character's single- handed fight against one Raptor. I loved that scene, because each action part of that same scene smoothly and efficiently brought on the next action part, and the effects worked well there. Jeff Goldblum's character is well written and he moves the adventure forward and so do the other main characters. I congratulate Steven Spielberg and his filmmaking team for all of the positive things I said about this film. Be proud of yourselves gentlemen, really. The movie wasn't entirely well done however. One of the movie's flaws is that a few supposed-to-be-heart-pounding scenes didn't work out on me and that left me in absolute disappointment. If only this one thing had worked, I would have largely forgiven the other faults the movie has and which I am about to talk right now. The next fault is a plot hole and it is in the scene with the T-Rex on the ship. Well, the crucial problem about this scene is that the ship carrying the big dinosaur is seen going full speed at the dock for no reason whatsoever. After this happens, people come on the ship to investigate, only to discover the entire crew dead, and now it makes you wonder "What on earth could have possibly happened to the crew and why on earth was the ship going full speed at the dock?". And next, you start asking yourself something else "Is it the T-Rex that did this, and if so, where is it now?". Now, the T-Rex looks like the only possible solution for the ship going full speed at the dock and for the death of the entire crew. However, the moment a guard starts opening the ship's doors, what suddenly comes out of this? The T-Rex himself! And that's when the plot hole comes, and I am sure I don't need to explain to you what it is that makes horribly no sense in that scene moment! Whatever happened to Spielberg there?! The other flaw is that the movie fails to be a truly compelling sequel, and like I said in the beginning of my review, to beat the first Jurassic movie. I'm nevertheless glad to have watched The Lost World: Jurassic Park. I liked it and think it is still a welcome addition to the Jurassic franchise. I don't regret having watched it. My rating: 7.0/10

While it is thinly scripted and my reaction to the story is more or less mixed Joseph Kosinski's Oblivion is visually striking, original and greatly benefits from its strong production values and I thought that it had enough of these production values to satisfy and that they served up the story well. The movie has a few entertaining action sequences and a few interesting action set pieces. I thought that the combination of sf, romance, action, mystery and drama was interesting and that it made Oblivion a stylish genre film. The movie also has a few great and unexpected plot twists, a few memorable quotes and a few scenes with beautifully sustained awe. The scene where Tom Cruise meets up for the first time with a clone of himself is an example of it. When I first saw that scene my mind got so bombed up because I didn't expect this part of the story to come at all and it was a complete surprise to me as well as strange and I didn't even know what on Earth's name was going on even as Jack defeated the other Jack and went inside his Bubble Ship. When I first saw a second Tom Cruise in the movie I started shouting in my head out loud "Hey!? What on earth!?" and "Wait! Is it Cruise's character's future self having somewhat come back to the past!?" This plot twist was so original, so great, so surprising, unexpected, breathtaking, strange and incomprehensible that I started considering it to be the most beautifully sustained awe moment that I've ever experienced in any movies in my entire life in memory. The story kept me interested all the way through to the end of the film. I felt that the cameo appearance of the devastated Statue of the Liberty was unnecessary because it has already been used in a few or more disaster movies, making it clichéd. Another problem was the score sound when the Oblivion title showed up on screen because this score sound reminded me of Inception. Though Oblivion is not a great film so I can recommend it to you I still recommend it to you to see and add it in my MUST-SEE list of movies because many of the movie's elements are so impressive and unique, making Oblivion a successful film in its own right. I'm glad to have watched Oblivion. My rating for Oblivion: 7.0/10

Man, how difficult it is to understand Inception! Inception is such a complex story that you need to watch it at least a few times before you can wholly understand the concept of dreams, in order to understand the whole film! Inception is the movie where I had the most difficulties understanding a story out of any movies I've ever seen in my entire life! Anyways, moving on to what I personally thought of Inception, I thought it was a very good movie. What's good about the film first of all is that Director/writer Christopher Nolan delivers us a story that is gripping, fresh and original. Inception's cinematography is groundbreaking. I thought that Leonardo DiCaprio gave once again a strong performance as professional thief Dom Cobb and so did Marion Cottillard, as Cobb's deceased wife. I thought that showing us a principal character who is tortured by his own roots (while on the movie's central mission with his colleagues), in connection to a love relationship with his wife which suddenly went wrong, added great effect to the movie. The movie succeeds both viscerally and intellectually. The slow- motion is stylishly well done. The characters are likable. The cast is strong. The score is brilliant and fits perfectly with the movie's theme(s). The movie is highly entertaining and satisfyingly complex! Inception is a movie that doesn't let you down one second. From watching this movie I can see that Christopher Nolan is skilled at handling big topics, and he handles it richly and flawlessly! How lucky we are to have a movie director who can manage such a thing! Congratulations Mr. Nolan! My rating for Inception: 8.2/10

Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith is an impressive improvement over its predecessors and contains better elements than in the previous Star Wars installments. In this film I thought that the digital effects were awesome, that the effects were great, that the graphics were amazing, that storytelling was thoughtful, interesting and relevant and that the Force was in a jollier mood this time. To me, the power of the mythology and the awesome digital effects will please people that are not fans and believers of the Star Wars movies. I particularly appreciated the fact that Anakin vs. Obi- Wan light saber duel taking place on the volcanic planet of Mustafar because it fitted exactly the Dark Side of the Force to which Anakin has tragically turned to. And thankfully George Lucas pays attention to important, relevant little detail by adding black color on Anakin's eyelids which connects and/or relates to the fact that Anakin has just turned to the Dark Side. The movie further benefits from the fact that you can feel the unfairness and disappointment when seeing all of the Jedi Knights getting killed as the Sith dramatically start rising to galactic power. Nevertheless, I didn't approve with everything in this movie. There is Hayden Christensen whose performance as Anakin Skywalker I thought wasn't entirely convincing and ideal. Also I was disappointed by the fact that in the light saber scene on planet Mustafar opposing Anakin and Obi- Wan I couldn't viscerally feel the lava and the sweating and tiredness of the light saber duel. Nevertheless, good job on the good things I mentioned Mr. Lucas, you should be proud of yourself for your work in this film. My rating: 7.7/10

The good things about The Fugitive, first of all, are its leading actors. I liked both Tommy Lee Jones and Harrison Ford in this movie. Not only did I think they played well, but I also thought that they were well matched together in this movie and that they had smart chemistry. The use of settings is another admirable thing in the movie, and that includes the sewers and the St. Patrick Parade. When my mind connects sewers and St. Patrick Parade to the plot of an innocent fugitive being tracked down by the authorities, I'm thinking "Nothing better. I like it. I truly do. I think it matches the plot in a smart way.". Talking about sewers, Harrison Ford's character's daring jump into the water from out of the sewers at a formidable height, I thought was one hell of a masterful scene act and a scene act worth remembering for decades to come. It's without any doubt the absolute best scene act I've ever seen in movies in my life, and the best scene act of the entire film. However, what I liked the most about this film is its pacing. The pacing in The Fugitive is superb and a pure master's work. Furthermore, I thought that the movie had nice charm, a nicely developed story, enough drama and tension, a few good surprises and a flawless scenes structure. Short reflection on The Fugitive: what an enjoyable and impactive ride. The Fugitive is the kind of film that leaves you wowed after you finish watching it. I'm glad to have watched this movie, and I worship it. Because of all the good things I said about the film, for me The Fugitive deserves to stand as a classic. My rating for The Fugitive: 7.5/10

I saw NON-STOP at the cinema and I loved it. To me NON-STOP was an astounding thriller with a strong build-up, tense setup, reasonable amount of tension and suspense, an overall solid screenplay and a noteworthy performance from Liam Neeson whose character you can easily care for and embodies a role that is absolutely compelling. Even Julianne Moore and the supportive cast was good. The characters are interesting. Talking about interesting characters and tense setup at the beginning of my review I have enormous difficulties understanding the critics consensus for NON- STOP on the Rotten Tomatoes site saying that NON-STOP wastes its cast, not to mention its tense setup and premise that hinges on a thoroughly unbelievable final act!!! I have enormous difficulties understanding it because in the movie I see the exact contrary: the movie doesn't waste its cast nor its setup or premise and it leads to a final act that is very believable so could someone please tell me why on earth is this critics consensus saying that!!! Anyways, moving on now. The fact that the movie included a 5 years old girl character who has never taken a plane before in her life and is scared of taking the plane and she suddenly and unexpectedly gets caught up in the midst of the horrible things that happen during the story made the film more important than what it already was. The movie makes yet another good job of making you haunted non-stop throughout the movie with this one question: "WHO is the guilty person on this plane?" However the movie bothered me a bit with its lack of style and plot which I didn't find was original. Furthermore, I thought that there was a bit too much or too much of "I'm sorry" in the film. Nevertheless NON-STOP is a ride I'm not ready to forget. My rating: 8.0/10

Skyfall returns back from the grave after a poorly made Bond film and also brings Bond back to his right personality. Thank you director Sam Mendes for saving 007. Even though I didn't find Skyfall a very good film I still thought it was an enjoyable and welcome addition to the long-running franchise. Skyfall succeeds on many things, albeit not on everything. What's good about Skyfall is that it has a couple of engrossing action sequences and a surprisingly gripping and finely constructed storytelling, and managed to exceed my expectations! Way to go man! The movie has other strong points as well, such as the settings. Shangai, the devastated island, Scotland and Istanbul were good settings and I thought that there were enough of them to satisfy. Moneypenny is a good looking Bond woman with humour and sensual charm. The Bond villain is well played and well cast by Javier Bardem and haunting in personality. I loved the song, opening credits and the new gadget, which I thought, in addition to storytelling and action sequences, were high-up achievements in the James Bond franchise. I was, however, badly let down by the film's weak plot and it got me annoyed and frustrated and so did the movie's failure to reach a desirable height, that of being a great and incredibly memorable film. This isn't the kind of movie to make you die to see a few more times. Sad. Skyfall is riveting nevertheless and ultimately a smart action- thriller movie. My rating for Skyfall: 7.3/10

I was surprised to realize by watching the movie that THE WOLFMAN was actually not that bad as many people and critics considered it to be. I liked THE WOLFMAN. Yes, alright, one thing I do agree with is that THE WOLFMAN isn't a great and classical film and suffers from a surprising lack of a thoroughly suspenseful and chilling script but it still has some good stuff and that include the film's tone, the blood, gore and violence, the suspense, the old-school scares, the makeup, the environment and Anthony Hopkin's character. Another flaw is the fact that everyone, except Hopkin's character, don't bring much impact to the movie and that's unfortunate. The CGI transformation of Benedicio Del Torro's character into the wolf man while attached to a chair is another problem because the CGI looked a little too cartooning and it should have been improved. Yet another flaw in this movie is that THE WOLFMAN lacks in animal instinct and in a strong feeling of caring for the protagonist being painfully transformed into a werewolf. I would regard the film overall as having a well written script but a lack of a thoroughly suspenseful and chilling script. My rating: 7.1/10

I want to say that I'm thankful toward Casino Royale for disposing of the silliness and over-the-top gadgetry that plagued recent Bond movies and for re-inventing 007 Bond as being caustic, haunting and tense, adjectives that I think best suit him. However, and in my honest opinion, I have to say that I didn't think that Daniel Craig was the perfect choice to be cast as 007 Bond because for me I imagine a 007 Bond spy/agent as having black hair and brown eyes and Daniel Craig, unfortunately, wasn't that: he has blond hair, blue-pale eyes, and he has mouse-like ears which bothered me. His round face and size however was no problem to me. When it comes to action sequences, I was disappointed and annoyed because almost all of them did not make a strong impact on me and the plot. I thought that the main Bond woman was beautiful and that she wore beautiful dresses, albeit (maybe) lacking something crucial: sensual charm. I also thought that the movie had a strong thematic richness, suitably appropriate violence, fun, thought- provoking dialog and some inventive stuff such as Bond fighting a villain on a construction site and jumping from one crane to another, Bond driving a tractor to try to catch a villain, Bond showing up at M's place without permission, the way Bond was tortured in the film by the main villain, the airport chase scene and more still. My rating: 8.0/10

Despite Kong's excessive running length (so typical Peter Jackson somewhat), you'll have a good time after Kong's over. King Kong is no must-see, but it's still a potent, majestic and ambitious fantasy-action-adventure motion picture. The prehistoric creatures from Skull Island are impressively designed and make a lovely impact on the film. Kong was also brilliantly CGI designed, it acts and moves superbly, and fortunately you get to care for it as its innocence is revealed and its love relation with Ann Darrow develops through the movie. Kong's tragic death at the end of the movie, including the fact that the New York people misunderstand Kong for a dangerous creature that must be destroyed even after they kill it, made way for a smoothly efficient ending. I liked the CGI effect of Skull Island and it was quite effective too, plus the inhabitants from the island bring a much needed dark tone to the film (the film in particular), as well as the ghostly fog in which the ship on which the main characters are enters through, as it approaches the mysterious Skull Island. And thankfully they also give you the creeps. The questions and answers that the film's main characters raise about real-life situations are exceptionally interesting and thought-provoking. And hey hey the movie also doesn't lack in elements of surprise, and it is gorgeous. Dear Mr. Jackson, you gave me all three Lord of the Rings movies which I enjoyed, including the Hobbit movies, and I want to thank you for offering me yet another thrilling cinematic experience. My rating for King Kong: 7.3/10

I thought that Taken 3 was ridiculous and an insult to the audience, because it completely lacks in being gripping, lacks in originality, is too predictable, unbelievable and illogical a few times or at times, the action lacks genuine effectiveness and is boring and the direction is inconsistent. Another important flaw that needs mention is that Taken 3 brilliantly fails to improve upon Taken and Taken 2. Furthermore, it's a pity that Liam Neeson and newcomer Forest Whitaker bring nothing exciting to the film through their character personalities. After two Taken movies Liam Neeson should have been shown as a stronger character because of the plot itself (plot which is nevertheless clichéd and unoriginal) but no unfortunately no it isn't the case. It's such a pity for Whitaker too because everyone would expect that because his character is an inspector tracking down Neeson's character for a crime he didn't commit then that inspector will be a solid character but again no unfortunately no it isn't the case. Let me also tell you that the fact that Whitaker's character is playing with an elastic on his fingers in a few parts of the film and carries a chess toss with him as well is unacceptable and makes him look more like a lost character that doesn't even belong to the Taken universe in the first place. I do however reward Taken 3 for its beautiful filming and solid cast. I'm also pleased that Taken 3 changed direction: no one gets taken this time as is the franchise's usual, main formula. After two Taken movies during the course of which all family members get taken someone in the family getting taken for the third time would just sound like a strange, unnatural and unsuitable continuation for the Taken franchise and also bad family responsibility. Overall, Taken 3 is a rubbish film that looks lost and doesn't seem in the least to understand its purpose as both a movie and second sequel in general and is good enough to be flushed down the toilet. My rating: 6.1/10

I'm a fan of the Belgian Tintin comic books, so because of this imagine how I felt when I first learned that Tintin was made into a film and was coming to cinemas soon. When I first learned about this, I directly had a crescent-shaped smile forming on my face. I saw from the trailer that it was a half animated, half reality movie, which I thought perfectly represented Herge, Tintin's creator's world, rather than as a reality film. I felt excited to go and see this film, and to see how the comic book would turn out as a movie. I was excited to see the final result. But of course, whenever you go to see a movie, whether it is a half reality, half animation film or reality film, you're unsure whether the movie will be good or bad and you just keep your fingers crossed that the film will be good. Well, I felt confident that the movie would be good, because I realized that it was directed by Steven Spielberg, which surprised me, because I knew that Spielberg never ever made a computer-animated motion picture before in his longtime directorial career, and I was curious to see what he could do with a computer-animated motion picture adapted from a comic book for the first time in his life. I also felt confident that the movie would be good, because I knew that Spielberg was a talented director who made many successful films in his directorial career, and since the only distinction between The Adventures of Tintin and any of the movies that Spielberg directed is its thorough use of computer-generated imagery, I thought that this film would therefore be 'easy pie' for him to direct and make into a good film. Now, let's talk about my opinion on the film. What I thought was good about the movie is that it is incredibly well shot, has many truly admirable scene pieces, a good dose of healthy humor for both children and adults, an intriguing story (in its own right), nice tonal shifts, exciting action sequences and smart transitions. I liked Captain Haddock, and thought that he was an interesting character, because he is spirited and funny and he cheered me up with the things he said and did. Snowy also was a sympathetic character, and so was Tintin and the Thompson detectives. I thought that The Crab with the Golden Claws, The Secret of the Unicorn and Red Rhackam's Treasure comic books combined into a perfect and suitable hole for The Secret of the Unicorn film chapter. I liked the voices from the entire cast, and I thought that it was perfect and that it suited the characters they were playing. The quality of the computer-generated animation is arguably astounding. However, I thought that the flooding of the town of Bhaggar, the ship getting accidentally attached to the other ship, and getting itself pulled over it from the big waves, and the cranes battle scene were all a little too far-fetched-out and a little too American in style. Something else I would criticize in this film is Tintin and/or Haddock's lack of a character development. Nevertheless, I still think that The Adventures of Tintin is a fun and interesting film. My rating: 7.4/10

In what is positive about the film, I think that Passion of the Christ's most positive point is its stunning violence and that's in the scene where Jesus is being horribly slashed to death, for what seems like an eternity, by his captors! Watching this scene felt like it was really me, as Jesus, being slashed eternally and I just couldn't bare to look at that scene! It was just so horrific and unjust the way Jesus was tortured! This violent torture scene deeply impacted my mind. I also thought that the depiction of the last 12 hours of Jesus's life was respectful and well done because you could really see what Jesus was thinking during his last 12 hours' life and his way of thinking during those moments are both noble and realistic to how he might have thought in real life during the last 12 hours of his life, and it was also pleasant poetry. Sadly, while Passion of the Christ has all of these advantages, it greatly suffers from a lack of powerfully felt emotions and drama, caring for all of the main characters, unclear message(s) and an ultimately brilliant, significant and influential piece of cinema and a film that could bring all audience people into unity. Passion of the Christ nevertheless works in its own right as a watchable film. My rating for Passion of the Christ: 6.1/10

I really liked I am Legend. I'm Legend is a film which has plenty of exhilarating atmosphere and a striking direction. Not only that but I was also highly and particularly glad (and also proud) to have experienced in a few scenes of the film a strong sense of fear, anxiety and hopelessness and anxiety, hopelessness and fear combined into a single feel and which made me feel 100% as if I was really inside the movie with Will Smith's character! Oh man that was a truly funny and unfamiliar kind of feel to me and I don't recall having ever lived that kind of feel ever before with movies! This is something I probably never get from my experience with movies and all of this is why the experience made me feel highly and particularly glad (and also proud) of the experience! The film also benefits from its post-apocalyptic New York town which looks quite effective, believable, convincing and very much probable to what it could look like in the real world when abandoned for a few years plus Smith's character's dog which added a strong and subtle sense of humanity to the film. However, despite these strong points I am Legend is plagued by a few bizarre flaws which I'm going to start talking about right now. The first one is its CGI effects! Now, I wonder what on earth the people that made these effects had in mind while putting these effects into place (or else what simply and accidentally went wrong with the CGI effects processing) because they were so, so bad looking and absolutely unconvincing and they harmed the movie a bit. They didn't give a strong sense of menace as I wished they would and it's a real disappointment. I'm afraid I will have to add them on my list of the Top 10 Worst CGI Effects of all Time! The other flaw is the scene where Robert Neville drives his car like a mad man in order to smash the Infected. Again what on earth went in the director's head when he was making that scene because that scene completely lacked any grip to it! That scene was completely stripped of any breathlessness and originality (also I'm sure we've all seen a scene like this one before and therefore we don't need and want to see the same thing again) and it also felt routine action scene rather than a solid action scene! I expected to have this and then at the end of that scene be impressed to the point of feeling like saying WAOUW and/or WOUF! But instead it felt like the scene was there just for the sake of having action, even if that means sacrificing its thrills. That was such a pity all of this and it ruined the movie's potential regarding all of the other good stuff I've mentioned which the movie already managed to offer us! Furthermore it is a bit unclear as to why Will Smith's character decided to stay outside at night to kill off the Infected in the first place when he always stays at his barricaded house at night like he's been doing for the first three years when he was alone! Was he trying to seek vengeance for his dog's death? Or is it something else? And if it is what is it? Still despite somewhat having these flaws I'm Legend is a movie that has its share of thrills and what I said at the very beginning of my review was enough to keep me fully entertained and satisfied nevertheless! I also wanted to say to you in my review that after watching this movie I dreamed and still do of being the sole survivor or just only living human being in my town, just to get this irresistible feeling of freedom of doing whatever I want to do around the huge town I'm in and go wherever I want to go and as far as it pleases me! I dream so badly of having this and I'm not kidding and it isn't out of nastiness in case you thought the other way around! As you can see, thanks to I am Legend it not only gave me thrills but also gave me something to imagine for myself in the reality world and I love imagining myself things in the real world in general. My rating for I am Legend is 7.6/10

If you enjoyed The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe and The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian and have high hopes for this third Narnian installment and hopes that it will be as good as its predecessors then I think you'll be disappointed. I was myself displeased with the movie. Its script is weak, its pacing is businesslike and empty and the lion Aslan is horribly CGI designed unlike the previous Narnia chapters where he was so wonderfully CGI designed. However, this third Narnian chapter does improve upon its predecessors on a few levels: it has more magic, more Narnian creatures and the main danger in the film is bigger, the challenges are higher and they're all striking. The character of Eustace makes for an impressive new-coming character entrance with powerful personalities. The movie includes other wholly amazing elements such as Lucy trying to be more beautiful than what she is and realizing the terrible consequences that could arise from such a thought, Eustace's thought- provoking character development, the unusual relationship between Eustace and Reepicheep at the end of the film, Reepicheep's dream of entering Aslan's Country, Aslan's country featured as big rising waves, the Sea Snake design and more still. My rating: 6.0/10

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian is a spectacular (and more spectacular than its predecessor) and entertaining family adventure, worthy of the standard set by its predecessor, as well as darker. It has a great beginning, good continuation and a great and emotional ending which left me shattered and in tears. The movie is overall nicely done. However, one thing which I think could have made this second Narnia chapter better would have been to make it into a film which has a bit or some of the Lord of the Rings elements combined with the Narnia elements in order to have a slick and more delicious genre result for the Narnian universe. Also, this second Narnia chapter, while fun to watch, is still (in connection to the first chapter) not good enough in quality to out-rival other similar fantasy movies that have a chance to beat it in genre quality. Nevertheless, it is another well but better done Narnia movie. My rating: 7.2/10
