One Hell of a Movie!


It was just last Sunday when I watched HellboyII: The Golden Army. I admit.. it's kinda boring at the start but as I continue to pay attention to this sequel, it became more interesting to me. Well... thanks to Abraham... and of course, Red (hellboy) for the amazing comedy lines and acts.

The graphics of this movie is also great! While I found some glitches, I can still say that every scene looks more of a reality to me. The plot and story is also fascinating just like the first one. One of my favorite parts, of which people with hallow humor will agree with me, is the scene where Abraham and Hellboy are drinking beer and listening to Barry Manilow's, "Can't Smile With You." Anyone? har har...

For all movies with sequels, we all can't help but compare each after the other. For me, Hellboy II is much better than the first release - given that it is a sci-fi movie with good humor intelligence. Really fascinating! My rate? 1 (lowest) - 5 (highest) ... it's 3.5 =D

Batman, The Dark Knight


I am a big fan of Batman ever since this official Warner Brother series have been shown on the big screen. And I must admit, I’m still fascinated with the film.

Especially that after watching the latest sequel, “Batman, The Dark Knight”, I can definitely say that it’s not just a hit movie but a film that is worth what you pay for.

The setting was contemporary that adds uniqueness to each and every fight scenes. The twist of the story even gave life to the characters.

And listen, the humor of the main characters really impresses everyone who has seen this film. Believe me, maybe this will also be the first time that you will focus more on the role that the antagonist plays rather than the heroine.

But of course, Christian Bale played as Batman so anyone can never resist his charm. But I really admired and salute the acting of Heath Ledger on this film. It’s like he played the main character of the film with the way he acted and portrayed his role as a Joker. He really is indeed a very good actor and deserves an award for his “Why so serious?” acting. I just feel bad that I can no longer see him do another great movie.

I will rate the film 9 out of 10. For me, “Batman - The Dark Knight” is really a great movie. Although some parents may not want to bring their kids as they watch this hot seller Batman sequel, but it is still a must-see film that you shouldn’t miss!

The Iron Man – The Hero with a Heart


After watching this movie on the big screen last Saturday, I realized that another movie is well worth its ticket price. I like the acting of Robert Downey Jr. being the famous Tony Sparks here. He reminds me of the funny side of Johnny Depp. For me, he also has the same features, actually a combination of the face of the famous actors Hugh Jackman and Sylvester Stallone. And I like the name of Gwyneth Paltrow in the film, she played as Pepper Potts.

Basically, The Iron Man is Rated PG-13 simply because of some intense sequence and violence in some parts of the film but more than that, it is definitely a great movie. The tagline, “Heroes aren’t born. They’re built.” gives a reasonable idea why Iron Man can also be called as hero. The big thing why Iron Man is different from other well-known characters is that he has the heart. Take note, his heart is one of a kind. He is the only man with that extraordinary glowing heart made with wires and other electrical components that actually give life to his own built armored suit. He was forced to become the Iron Man after he rescued himself from the custody of the terrorists who were unfortunately, his loyal customers. Yes, Tony Sparks is a well-recognized maker of powerful weapons but after that life-threatening incident, he eventually realized what he’s worth and decides to use technology through his own inventions to fight against evil.

All in all, I will rate this movie as 4 out of 5. It is really a very good movie. From the fight scenes to the graphics and also for the humor that the main character portrays, I think that this is definitely one of the best movies for this year!
