My Rating: 9.0
Cast: Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel
I was glued to the screen from beginning to end. It’s not often you get to say that the sequel was better than the first one. Usually it’s the other way around. In this case it’s not true. The sequel has more action, more adventure and more digital effects than the first movie.
Many people say that film had several kinds of errors. The first time watching the film I can honestly say that I didn’t notice all of them. The other aspects of the film where keeping me busy in order to notice them.
Concluding the film deserves a solid 10 but since it had many mistakes that could have been avoided by doing some research and paying more attention to history and geography. But nonetheless by my count it’s a worth watching.

My Rating: 9.0 [rate 4.5]
Cast: Brandon Routh, Kate Bosworth, Kevin Spacey, James Marsden, Parker Posey, Frank Langella, Sam Huntington, Eva Marie Saint, Marlon Brando, Kal Penn, David Fabrizio, Tristan Lake Leabu, Ian Roberts, Vincent Stone, Jack Larson
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.

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]

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.
