Iron Man

Posted by Jay Philips | Tuesday, December 30, 2008

What an entertainment I got! The movie is absolutely fantastic and the two hours simply flew without realising it. When the movie producers paid mega bucks to get top-notch actors, they really got their millions' worth. Robert Downey Jr who plays Tony Stark / Iron Man, the billionaire industrialist, fits the role. Tony Stark is a multi-layered character. He's an unbelievable genius, a pampered playboy, an extremely likeable character, with great wit and eccentricities, and when things get difficult, yes, Tony Stark has a heart.

He is good-looking, drives expensive cars, lives in this ultra-chic home overlooking the ocean, flirts with women shamelessly and comes up with funny quips. The scene at the beginning where he is being driven from a test site accompanied by three army personnel is quite fun to watch. The three are obviously in awe of Stark, the hot-shot genius, and he breaks the ice ever so effortlessly.

Iron Man isn't about how a good person gets bit and seeks a way to 'save' people, which is the usual staple in superhero movies. Instead, it's about the change in a man's perspectives and thoughts, as he sees the world is not in reality as simplistic as he's convinced himself for years.

Unlike most superheroes, where it's merely a rush in the story to get to the part where the hero puts on the suit, Iron Man slowly undergoes this process. It's not concerned with the usual path. Instead, we concentrate on Tony, as he experiences tough circumstances which leads him to look deeply into himself.

Batman: The Dark Knight

Posted by Jay Philips | Sunday, December 28, 2008

Without a doubt, the batman movie is one of the greatest movies of our time. It is truly an extraordinary piece of cinema as it is a radical departure from the "Superhero" movie genre as we know it.

The action sequences which have applause initiating moments are nicely balanced with the drama throughout this film, which in essence have you wanting to see more now, as you wait for the finale. Each primary character - Christian Bale of course does a great job playing Batman and Ledger did a great job as well. Heath Ledgers' portrayal of the Joker brings us face-to-face with one of the most maniacal psychopaths to grace the big screen. Everyone knows all the speculation about Heath Ledger's death after playing the Joker, and even the speculation of him being chosen in the first place, but there's one thing that there should be no speculation about: his performance. He puts on the best acting performance I've seen in years.

Overall The Dark Knight gets an A+ ___ this movie is breathtaking. Christian Bale and Heath Ledger represent true acting in this film.

Hellboy II: The Golden Army

Posted by Jay Philips | Sunday, December 28, 2008

I think you'll love this film. this movie was visually stunning, with some very cool action scenes as expected. Very nice special effect usage within the movie, and The story was very easy to understand, and the comedy used throughout the entire movie was very funny and creative.

The first Hellboy movie was a bit of an oddity, and while I did truly enjoy it, there were some flaws. Given what it was, I still feel that it was a decent attempt at trying to bring a strange and fantastical idea to wondrous reality. Hellboy II The Golden Army does indeed take the next step forward and brings to life the amazing and magical world of mythological creatures, improving greatly upon its predecessor and should give rise to hope for more cinematic adventures of the big red one and his buddies.

The Incredible Hulk

Posted by Jay Philips | Sunday, December 28, 2008

I was surprised to see that this was as a great movie, this movie was worth the money and effort Hollywood spent to remake it, the action scenes won me over, The effects were improved and the story was well balanced with action and plot. The movie started out write away with them explaining what went wrong and how Edward Norton became the hulk. This one was way better than the first Hulk they made. The final battle was insane. This movie probably had one of the best battles in any movie at the end when The good Hulk faced off against the bad. They made the Hulk look so good. A newly designed Hulk looks very realistic, and the redesign looks more human in origins then before. I think that the visuals and special effects were so amazing. Especially each time they had action scenes. Awesome action packed scenes are sprinkled about in perfect amounts and each one had its memorable moments.

If your looking for a movie with a decent story, solid acting, sweet visuals and plenty of mind blowing action than Hulk is your movie to see.
