Ironclad Movie Review

Tag: Ironclad Movie Review, Ironclad Trailer.
Do not imagine Ironclad as big colossal film, with a setting around the 13th century, with stories about the upheaval in the land of England when King John came to power, the film is arguably an epic story on a small scale, but that does not mean unattractive.For those who thirst for movie sword fights, I admit this movie did not disappoint, let alone any dish packed battle-of-factly, in the sense not shy about showing off in sadism, at first glance similar to the formula offered by Neil Marshall on the "Centurion", manylots of blood and mangled body of the sword. Ironclad opens with a narrative that tells Britain endless war-torn, between the rebels led by the Baron and the notoriety of their king, King John (Paul Giamatti).

The war continued after the war raged until finally the party bersiteru, the Baron and King John, agreed to end the war. Jonathan clearly knew what he wanted to present to the audience, a sword fighting action movie which I admit is quite sadistic, even in the beginning I had no idea if this movie was so happy bargains are also a lot of blood and body parts are arbitrarily cut down with easy to split

Ironclad as I alluded to earlier, will not be stale, stale, it is also true of the way Jonathan's Home tells the story, through which also he wrote his own story, he would not go-where but stay focused to survive in the castle of Rochester, with little spice the story of history as its background story. The thing that is annoying when the story goes is that there is romance between the characters Marshall inserts with Lady Isabel (Kate Mara), wife of Baron, the owner of Rochester, which I feel no need and just make her film stuck to slow down.


Blitz Movie Review

Similar to previous films, Jason Statam always idectically with action movies; and looks on this new film in the which Sergeant Tom Brant (Jason Statham) must fights again with some bandits. With equipped with a beater of the wood, They got into challenge actions. And what do you think about Blitz film at the moment? Blitz seems that it will Jason Statam typical films, don’t expect to much since the films is arguably more slowly with its the storytelling, if you want to compare it to The Mechanic.

Meanwhile, Blitz somehow still fun to watch even tought Statham is actually rare to see a fight, yet it rely on the story, in which the character played by Statham forced hard to think in capturing the criminal. In short, it looks more serious, as well as fun with the occasional passing Brant slipped a few jokes that makes moviegoers laugh. Elliott Lester for sure state that this is not a comedy film; no need to give a lot of jokes, just some additional thing to avoid boredom as well as to the cop killer Brant find the perpetrators.

Blitz is obviously entertaining, with such a detective-themed stories, yet the main focus is not to make audiences with a headache, with lots of puzzles. But this time, I try to enjoy the mild dish offered Lester. If you consider its theme, you will understand about behind the shadow, Brant trace every action is evidence of efficacy makes me more curious, though in fact we have been told who the actual perpetrators, so what happens is I lost interest very quickly want to see Brant catch the killer. For business the role of villain, I do not think too much steal the show, a serial killer who seems to have much to learn and no need narcissistic as you can see it on the whole story of Blitz!

X-Men First Class Review

X-Men First Class Review, X-Men First Class Film, X-Men First Class Info. For sure, X-Men First Class in certain aspect is always to other X2 by which Godfather 2 had wound up being towards the Godfather. Its definetely has its own concept, Top Quality is without a doubt give a great "flashback" look that links the most effective from the X-Men First Classt rilogy, as some experts stated, it had associated with yesteryear while DeNiro playing youthful Vito Corleone we have James McAvoy as youthful Charles Xavier. I am, however, saying McAvoy features a vibrant future just like a complex and gifted actor. Like the youthful cast of Godfather 2 was legendary, the youthful cast of X-Men First Class has numerous great days and projects before them.

X-Men First Class would likely not need been the identical without James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender. Inside a couple of minutes of turning up on-screen, you'll be able to tell this isn't the identical Charles and Erik that individuals saw carried out by Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen. It is not only since they're youthful, but since they're better. Fassbender particularly does an excellent job of representing the darkness within Magneto (which everybody knows may ultimately attain the top) despite the fact that the critiques to Bond are understandable, his Erik is a factor else altogether. Jason Bourne?! He'd kick his ass by leaving him crying inside the corner.

X-Men First Class really, makes all the hopes and fears of of the core figures entirely understandable, without bogging its narrative lower. Thus, Charles Xavier can be a genius, whose upbeat manner covers his understanding of strains and the requirement to help people who've to pay for their versions. Raven is troubled by her appearance, and finds herself trading energy only to merge. Generally, we are able to state that Nicholas Hoult as Hank tried using the job fighting his mutation, and taking advantage of his intelligence to find any kind of cure with this.

Movie Review of The Mechanic 2011, Action Film

More often than not, when Hollywood film industry is running out of ideas to make movies, they usually do some remakes or take some novels or books to make them the big screen version. The Mechanic, may be one example of it. It is definitely a remake of Michael Winner’s film in 1972. So, the problem with a remake is whether it is just fine, great, or otherwise totally failed. But some other moviegoers may just not want to watch it at all. Say, as one of recent movie releases this year, The Mechanic is a good one to spend people’s weekend, but it has nothing more than that.

Since it is a remake of a film back in 1972 (when many filmmakers had not yet had more extraordinary ideas to make them great films), the story can be said as simple and does not have more taste than James Bond or Bourne films. Arthur Bishop (Jason Statham) is a professional paid assassin, and has a mentor named Harry (Donald Sutherland) and usually comes to a prostitute (Mini Anden). Well, it is common, right? His character of silent, quiet, strong, cold, and lonely (which showed by having no friends) is so usual for an assassin in a film. However, this character, also usually, needs some balance. And that balance comes from Steve McKenna (Ben Foster).

When Arthur’s mentor Harry dies, his son comes to the surface to take revenge. No arguement, in a harsh world it is normal that you want to take revenge to somebody who kills your family members. And Steve McKenna is this son. Funny and humorous, Steve is like another side when he’s working together with the assassin. Arthur teach Steve about the business in his world: killing, planning, bare-hand fighting, exploding, gunshooting, and using computer or technology, just to make sure that Steve (accompanied by Arthur  himself) can do it right.

Hanna 2011, Action Film Movie Review

Hanna, one of the latest movie releases this month, has been hugely expected to such a wonderful action film. It is, indeed, for it did not hire a male leading actor to be and do all the action stuff. But it is a girl, a young girl who is the main character here and does all those action film stuff. Produced by Holleran Company Prods., a Sechzehnte Babelsberg Film/Neunte Babelsberg Film co-production film production companies in union, Hanna puts Saoirse Ronan (The Lovely Bones) to be the leading actress.

Hanna (Saoirse Ronan), the main character whose name is the sole title of this film, is a young girl who is raised by her father Erik Heller (Eric Bana) and is grown up in the middle of a forest deep in Finlandia. She is prepared to fight and to be a tough and strong fighter. There are some moments where Heller tests his daughter’s reflects by attacking her so randomly and suddenly, so that he knows how ready she is in receiving such challenge and attack. Heller also teaches Hanna to speak many languages, puts many informations to her, and gives her many books to read. But this preparation is not for nothing, except that Hanna does not know about it. This is for one mission related to Heller’s past and a female CIA agent named Marissa Wiegler (Cate Blanchett). The obvious mission is to kill that Wiegler woman. When she killed someone who is posed as Wiegler, she manages to escape the tightly guarded CIA underground place and takes some journey to wherever she can go and run. There, all the actions done by Hanna are so densely fill all over the scenes.

This action movie is somehow intriguing in its core of story: a young girl, not an adult and not even a grown up man, is prepared to kill a high class CIA agent who is already a pro. Looking at it from a far, we can see it as a “pressure” toward a teenage innocent girl who is supposed to feel her teenage life and fun, but instead she is “forced”, consciously or not, to do a job which is supposed to be done an older person, say her father himself. It is very much a wonder why the filmmaker set a young girl to do this.

Online Movie Review Kill The Irishman 2011

Anchor Bay Films and Code Entertainment film production companies has thrown a film entitled Kill The Irishman, which is based on the book entitled To Kill the Irishman: The War That Crippled the Mafia written by Rick Porrello, to the market which has been so full of movies about the real life of a real person. Such a provocative movie title, but it is true, and is based on a true story. Again, Hollywood film industry takes one person’t life, which has already recorded in a book, into the big screen.

Now, starring Ray Stevenson, the story is around the life of a mob leader, say, not much different from an Italian mafioso, named Danny Greene (played by Ray Stevenson himself) who comes from an Irish background. He is even so proud of his ethnical background. The film shows the audiences the chronicle of his life starts from his childhood in Cleveland, his working period as a dock worker to top as the Union President.

And then Greene is hired by a loan shark named Shondor Birns (Christopher Walken) as an enforcer. But he is determined to claim power and top position, not to become the “employee” of the other. His ego blows up and it trigger some issues around the gang people. So, the Italian mafioso (now this is real) has ordered to kill him whatever the way, but from one assassination trial to another do not show a good result in the death of the Irishman. Thus Danny Greene is then famous as “the man who cannot be killed”.
 
The core of the story is actually triggering, indeed. For it is always funny to chase after someone to finish him off for good but the attempt is always failed. Somehow, it will trigger your laugh or giggle. For sure, the one who wants to kill the man who cannot be killed will look like a fool. Say, it will be like Lord Voldemort who wants to kill Harry Potter but he is always failed. Such a pity, yet funny. Unfortunately, though the film director Jonathan Hensleigh seems to have done a great filming process, he did not seem to do more to explore the character of Greene deeper and make the story more detailed. It looks only like a 100 or so minutes of bang-bang, explosion, chasing after, and fist fighting without good story line.

Read Online Movie Review of Source Code 2011

Read Online Movie Review of Source Code 2011
 
There are so many action sci-fi films in the Hollywood film industry, mostly are so common in their core ideas and styles. Some are so great that they cannot be forgotten, some are just good, so-so, and some are so dull. Source Code, a new movie which is directed by Duncan Jones, produced by Summit Entertainment film production company, can be put into the good category. Though the film director is famous of his great debut film Moon, Source Code seems to be a copy of those other nice-to-enjoy action sci-fi films.

Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal) was a Marine soldier fighting in Afghanistan. Once, he wakes up in a commuter train before a pretty woman (Michelle Monaghan) who calls him Shaun. But he is not Shaun, of course. He is, seemingly without his own consent and awareness, the chosen one to do a rescuing duty set by a group of government apparatuses. He is put into the mind of someone in the commuter train to get to know who or what explodes the train afterwards. The core of his job is simply to prevent the next train explosion.


But the job is proved to be not easy for Stevens, for he has to watch every one in the train, indicate who is nervous who is not, who looks suspicious and who looks just normal. He keeps being back and forth between the train which has been exploded previously and his sanctum where the real him is placed. And to add up all the things he has to face up, he also has to accept the fact that he slowly falls in love with the woman in front of him and that eventually he wants to “get back” and save her.
