X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Like most people, I got attracted by the trailer. However, the movie was not greater than I expected. It's less than I expected. "Fast & Furious 4" was better and they should have exchanged the release date. That would have been better opening for summer movies.

Wolverine is the coolest superhero character ever created and movie about his origin can achieve high potential of success. That's the reason this movie made huge profit at the box office, although it's not satisfying. Most people I know are not happy with this movie, it's very less amount people like this movie. Those that likes this movie are not X-Men or Wolverine fan at all.

I do not know the budget of this movie but I can say, the special effects are not helping, especially Wolverine's claws does not look real enough. I found it's better in previous X-Men movies. I have no idea what they have done with Wolverine in this movie.

The aspect that deserves respect from the audience is the acting skill. Hugh Jackman portrayed Wolverine better than previous X-Men movies. Other actors/actress performed well too. However, too bad, it's all ruined by the other aspect of the movie especially the script.

This movie should not have been made or at least should have been great movie. Somehow, it achieved success in box office and sequel already been planned. I hope they will improve by considering the reviews and critics. I know it's comic book based, yet look at Dark Knight, Spider Man or Iron Man. Those movies are marvelous.

Rating: 4/10

Logan: I'll find my own way.
Remy LeBeau: Good luck.

Fast & Furious 4

Fast & Furious 4

A fantastic movie. It's the best one for the year so far. The introduction scene blows up although it's obvious the visual effects are computer generated. Well, the rest of the movie are cool and does not stop entertaining until it ends.

This movie contains the perfect combination of action, love, friendship and family. It has everything you want to see in one movie such as hot cars, hot women, hot men, cool music, awesome racings and actions. Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Jordana Brewster and Michelle Rodriguez are the real perfect casts for the movie.

I went on 2nd day (3rd of April 2009) and had to pay blockbuster price for this movie, well, it's worth the money. I do feel like want to watch it again but maybe just wait for the DVD. There was not much humor but the music and digital sound are cool enough.

The ending was good yet it was incomplete. It was an open ending. It's confirmed there's going to be sequel but no one knows yet if it's going to continue from the ending of fourth movie.

Rating: 10/10

Brian O'Conner: A lot has changed.
Dominic Toretto: You're right.

Dragon Ball Evolution

Dragon Ball Evolution

I went to watch "Dragon Ball Evolution," despite many bad reviews. I knew the movie will get such reviews since the day I saw the trailer. However, I was "Dragon Ball" fan since I was in primary school and I was waiting for the live action movie. So, I decided to watch it. It was, not good and not bad. It's not the exact same with the manga version.

The movie was about 86 minutes and I did not realize it's too soon until the movie ends. In this movie, Goku goes to high school and his grandfather (Gohan) was alive but not for long. Justin Chatwin was the good choice to play Goku but the role he played was not the real Goku. The same comment goes to the other characters.

The visual effects for the energy waves are okay and for the dragon, I expected something better. Before going for the movie, I was actually thinking about the dragon. =D

This movie is not realistic, I think it can be classified as fantasy and fun. The storyline, it's too normal and most scenes are not original. I thought it should be an action movie but there are not much action and the ending is too fast and predictable. Humors are there but not humorous. Anyway, the good thing about this movie, it's motivating. That's all.

There's an additional scenes which gives clue that there will be sequel. Jamie Chung confirmed it during an interview by MTV. I hope in the next sequel, it will be much better and the production company to consider the critical reviews of this movie.

Rating: 5/10

Street Fighter: The Legend Of Chun-Li

Street Fighter: The Legend Of Chun-Li

They are warriors, some of whom possess extraordinary abilities, all of whom are determined to see their side prevail. Some fight for us; the others for unlimited power. Now, they are preparing for the ultimate battle - of terror versus beauty, light versus darkness, and good versus evil.

One of the awaited movie for this year. The movie was about Chun-Li (powerful warrior) on her adventure for justice. The storyline was well written, although I had doubt of that for the first few minutes of the movie. The movie was shot at Bangkok, Hong Kong, California and Vancouver.

The martial arts are not like anything I have seen before. The first battle scene itself was amazing and other battle scenes was even better. Kristin Kreuk's acting was pretty good. She portrayed Chun Li perfectly. Another well performed character was Nash, played by Chris Klein. He's the most hilarious.

One of the best part of the movie are the visual effects, especially the glowing energy ball created by Ken and Chun Li. It was cool. :D

Her strength. Her fury. Her vengeance. Will become legend. The movie really delivers what the tagline and trailer promised. It's just few days of release and I have heard of sequel for the movie. If it's confirmed, then it would be great. Maybe Ryu would be featured too. In fact, Ryu was mentioned at the end of the movie.

Rating: 7/10

Nothing last forever. - Chun Li
