You say that the world doesn’t need a savior, but every day I hear the world cry for one.

As the world was getting used to the idea that of living without Superman, he is back. And just in time to save them once again.

I ought to admit that after seeing the trailer I was a bit skeptical because I thought that they made the “mistake” to show the the best scene on the trailer, like they did so many countless times before, maybe not for Superman but it’s something they do on many films.

After watching the film, I realised that the scene shown in the trailer was only a tease. A small introduction to what you will see in the new Superman movie.

If you are like me then most probably you have seen all the other Superman movies than filmed over the past. In comparison this film has a plethora of special effects.

So if you want to see Superman do some moves that he wasn’t able to do before due to technology limitations then this is the film for you. Even if you don’t it’s still a film worth watching.

What is there to say I was waiting for this movie for too long. I am not at all happy with it, but I am giving it a 9/10 because it’s a great movie and has very nice special effects. Anyway I’ve read a lot of X-Men comics, which by the way don’t come cheap, and I am sorry if I am going to spoil it for some people but the Professor Charles Xavier doesn’t die and neither does Scott. I don’t if what they are trying to do, but I thought there were sticking to the storyline already been set by the comic books.

Anyway it’s a great film but it’s not the comic books coming to life on the big screen it’s a different storyline which is welcome by me, but I don’t know if everybody, especially X-Men fanatics will do the same.

Tagline: The Perfect World Meets The Perfect Assassin

Plot Outline: Aeon Flux is a mysterious assassin working for the Monicans, a group of rebels trying to overthrow the government. When she is a sent on a mission to kill the “chairman” a whole new mystery is found.

My Rating: 7.0 [rate 3.5]

Cast: Charlize Theron, Marton Csokas, Jonny Lee Miller, Sophie Okonedo, Frances McDormand, Pete Postlethwaite, Amelia Warner, Caroline Chikezie, Nikolai Kinski, Paterson Joseph, Yangzom Brauen, Aoibheann O’Hara, Thomas Huber, Weijian Liu, Maverick Queck

It’s a nice film, I am only giving it a 7/10 because it could be better if it had a bigger budget. I think that a lot of people even before they’ve seen the film are considering some things that we see in the movie. That’s all I have to say, if you have time I think it’s a good film to watch.

My Rating: 3.0 [rate 1.5]

I am not going to say that I loved this film because that would be a lie, and I wouldn’t want to do that to you. To be honest the trailer gave hope of the film being really good, but then again I should have known better. Like most trailers this also had most of the good scenes in the trailer so no big surprise when there was nothing better in the movie.

Anyway enough said, I would suggest if you nothing better to do the you should see.

Tagline: Hell Breaks Loose

Plot Outline: Based on the hit computer game about Marines sent to investigate what went wrong on a scientific research center on Mars where they face an evil unlike any other.

My Rating: 6 [rate 3]

Cast: Karl Urban, The Rock, Rosamund Pike, Dexter Fletcher, Ben Daniels, Al Weaver, Richard Brake, Yao Chin, Razaaq Adoti, Deobia Oparei, Brian Steele, Robert Russell, Daniel York, Ian Hughes, Sara Houghton

Nice film, a bit dark in the sense of not giving enough lighting to create suspense, mystery and make it more scary. Of course it didn’t work, because they only cared on making it dark enough so they could get away with some special effects.

Anyway, that’s just my opinion.

Directed by: Peter Jackson

Genres: Action, Adventure, Drama, Thriller

Tagline: The eighth wonder of the world.

Plot Outline: In 1933 New York, an overly ambitious movie producer coerces his cast and hired ship crew to travel to mysterious Skull Island, where they encounter Kong, a giant ape who is immediately smitten with leading lady Ann Darrow.

My Rating: 8.5 [rate 4]

Cast: Naomi Watts, Jack Black, Adrien Brody, Thomas Kretschmann, Colin Hanks, Andy Serkis, Evan Parke, Jamie Bell, Lobo Chan, John Sumner, Craig Hall, Kyle Chandler, Bill Johnson, Mark Hadlow, Geraldine Brophy

I think that this version of King Kong was one that the digital effects really payed off. If you’ve seen previous versions of King Kong then you should see this one. If you didn’t then, what are you waiting for?
