Movie Reviews 2012 (November and December) [With a bonus of 2010 and 2011]

The Avengers  (A restrospective review in 2014)

It is so good that the geek in me was yelling out with "Oh Yeah" and "Awesome". So engrossed that I do not care whether people call me a geek or nerd. In fact, this shows make me a proud geek. I have watched umpteen times and is never tired of the show. Good job Marvel! Captain America the Ultimate shield and a Super Soldier! Ironman the Techno-guy with the UniBeam-er! Thor the Thunderer with the Mjolnir! Hulk the monster with the Smasher! Black Widow the Black Spy and an Informer! Hawkeye with the cool arrows of the Archer! Loki the Trickster with a Spectre! Nick Fury the Director and the 1-Eye Patch-er! SHIELD the Agents! -_-x

The Dark Knight Rises

Just finished watching The Dark Knight Rises ... It is freaking AWESOME !!! -_-x The epic conclusion ...

-_-x The full spectrum of angst, the capacity for self-discipline, the compelling obligation of a strong moral code, the laws of rights and wrongs, the function outside the societal law and norm, the choices and behaviours from tragedies or negative events that label the duality of evil or good, sanity or madness, hero or villain - the differentiation between Batman and his rouges gallery. The psychological thoughts, desires, complexities, struggles and the level of shades of greyness that all of us have faced, are facing or will face ... How do we react? How do we define? The humanity, the epitome, the multifariousness of Balance ...

 

Rise of the Guardians

The embodiments and "centre" of the folk tales and the magical DreamWorks motion picture, "Rise of the Guardians" characters; The Guardians (of the Children): Santa Claus - Wonder and Giving and Joy, Sandman - Dreams and Optimism and Brightness, Tooth fairies - Innocence and Baby teeth and Memory, Easter Bunny - Hope and Faith and the (Spring) Beginning, Jack Frost the winter spirit - Fun and Snow and Excitement, The kids and the child in all of us - The Pureness of Belief and Discovery, Man in Moon - The unknowns and wisdoms and something higher or bigger; The Enemy: Bogeyman - Fear and Nightmare and Pessimism and Darkness; -_-x (Neverending battle of good versus evil for always The Guardians vs The Enemy)

 

Life of Pi

"Life of Pi" film is as good as its book. It is a wide eye wonder. Topics of ontology, divine beings, religions, Science, rationalism and faith in general are all explored. The CGI is perfect, it is like the real animals throughout the film. The graphic of the sea is amazingly great. The emotion is intensifying too. Richard Parker the tiger is roaringly awesome !!! -_-x (2 thumbs up!!!) Kudos to Ang Lee !!!

Ruroni Kenshin (Live Action)  Ruroni Kenshin Live is awesome !!! The casting is good and the fighting is kick ass. Though it does differ from anime in many ways and story development. There is no Aoshi and his group ... -_-x (Kenshin fans, what are you waiting for? Only filmgarde distribute this show and the super limited timeslots are always sold out!!!)

Wreck it Ralph Wreck it Ralph! Wreck it Ralph! Wreck it all the way! Oh what joy! Is it to wreck, to wreck bad things a-wway !!! Hey !!! ... (Carol according to "Jingle Bell" song); -_-x (WWE: William Wrecks Evils)   Les Miserables  Les Miserables is really good. And I never knew Anne Hathaway, Hugh Jackman and especially Russel Crowe, the 3 top A-listers of the show can sing and they act really well !!! I dreamed a dream ... -_-x (The song that touched millions and propel Susan Boyle to fame) 2011 Rio  "Rio" is nice, one of the nicest animation I have watched. -_-x (I was laughing almost every 30 seconds ...) 2010 The Last Airbender (CRAPPPPPPPPPPP! @##$%%) M Night "Shut Ma De Lan" really piss me, by ruining my favourite cartoon of all time. My eyeballs and necks are tired (by constantly rolling my eyeballs and shaking my head throughout the movie). I was watching a primary school amateur movie-making: Pacing, Dialogues, Flow, Character Development, Action, CGI, Enunciation all sucks big time, a tinge of racism in the "most diverse culture movie ever". =(x
