Review : Red



RED : Retired and Extremely Dangerous. When former black - ops agent Frank Moses has his peaceful life of retirement, threatened by a high-tech assassin, Frank reassembles his old team to come out of retirement, for one last job; in an effort to survive and uncover his assailants.

Hello Film Lovers

I trust you all had a nice weekend, Welcome to my next Dr Film review, which is RED starring Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman and Helen Mirrin. Directed by Robert Schwentke who directed other movies such as "The Time Traveller's Wife" and "Flight Plan".

The film was released back in 2010. Had a budget of $58,000,000 (estimated),  did fairly well in the box office making a profit of $90,356,857 (USA) (28th of January 2011)

The Storyline consits of that of  retired agent Frank (Bruce Willis) who is bored and lonely living off his government pension, in a nondescript suburb in an equally nondescript house. The only joy in Frank's life are his calls to the government pension processing centre when he gets to talk to his case worker Sarah (Mary-Louis Parker).

Sarah is as bored and lonely as Frank is and marks her conversations with the unknown Frank and her spy novels as the only things fun in her life. When something in Frank's past forces Frank back into his old line of work again, he puts an unwitting Sarah in the middle of the intrigue, Frank and Sarah begin a journey into Franks past and the people he used to work with. Like Frank they are all RED ... Retired Extremely Dangerous.

This film, I'll be honest. I wasn't expecting much. I did like the storyline of it, I thought the ideas presented were good. But I though whilst watching it. It didn't do much for me, really. I just got board part way through and it didn't really arouse my interests at all, I had no interest in the plot.

To those who do really like it, I can understand why. The cast they got is great, people like Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirrin, John Malkovich they are all really big movie stars acting in an action film together. That's a really good set up of a cast, It's funny on many occasions. It's melodramatic comedy which plays for laughs. Some of the effects and action sequences are really good, they're directed well, very clean cut and precise, very dramatic, creates tension.





So what is it about RED that I don't like. If I'm being bluntly honest, I found it difficult to keep up with the pace of it. It is quite a slow movie. By the end of it, I sometimes watch a film hoping to get something out of it. Red is one of, about 3 films I've seen, which I've watched and left not learning anything from it. Other than fact, having me ask the question - have I waisted my time watching this?

There isn't really a member of the cast, I can pick out as being better than the other. I do think that they were just actors doing a job, like actors do. I think on behalf of me as a viewer, I struggled to invest in the characters. Which in turn partly spoiled my enjoyment of the film.

The length and the pace of it, for me I felt it was quite a long film to watch and to get to grips with. It took a while for the story to really engage and pick u the pace to become a heavy action thriller that it was, I do feel perhaps it was cheated a bit, because you got a great concept and a really good cast of people, in a quite dire and badly executed film.




As you can tell by examination, I didn't enjoy RED very much at all, it's not the best action film I've seen, but it is far from the worst.

I'll give it 5/10 - Which is standard even ground.

Thank you for reading this review

Review : Sherlock Holmes



Sherlock Holmes : Detective Sherlock Holmes and his stalwart partner Dr John Watson engage in a battle of wits and brawn with a nemesis whose plot is a threat to all of England.

Hello Film Fans

Welcome to my latest rant on the media of film, in today's review I will reviewing Sherlock Holmes. Starring Robert Downey Jr as Holmes and Jude Law as Dr John Watson.

Sherlock Holmes; is not a great film, by any stretch of the imagination. I've always been a bit sceptical with this film, because it is one of those films where I've always felt, you have to be in the right mood to watch it. And there are a few films out there that are like that, and Sherlock Holmes is one of them. You got to be in the right frame of mind, to watch this film, in order to get everything out of it. And even then it isn't brilliant; by any means. 

Sometimes I've watched this film and believed it to be utter dire tripe. Other times I've watched it and thought it was an okay movie, and considered it to be easy viewing. Today as I go through the film I will be giving my own biased opinion on this film, and you as the reader can make up your own mind afterwards.

The film starts off really well, very atmospherically, you got the Victorian gaslight streets of London. I really liked the setting. I thought it was pretty authentic, then we are introduced to Robert Downey Jr's interpretation of Sherlock Holmes, we whiteness his character, calculating an act of violence and what he's going to do before he does it. Step by step, he does exactly what we know he said what he was going to do, which is to be expected, we saw it coming.

Already, just by viewing that little aspect of the film, the viewer is given an instant piece of knowledge about Downey Jr's Holmes, what his character is about. That can calculate a method of violence in seconds, which makes him brainy as well as unusual. It gives the viewer something to cling onto and drive the story forward through his character, which is great. The audience is entertained and interested within seconds of the film starting.

Later on in the beginning scene, Holmes and Watson are on the brink of solving a case, and preventing a murder. They prevent the murder, catch the culprit. Meet with the police who arrest the culprit, it is then we are introduced to a opening credits sequence, which is over all flamboiant and graphic.

After the opening credits, We start to get caught up into the story. Holmes and Watson have finally caught serial killer and occult "sorcerer" Lord Blackwood, legendary sleuth Sherlock Holmes and his collaborating assistant Dr. Watson can close yet another successful case.

Blackwood is hung by the neck until death, people assume that is the end of him. However after Blackwood mysteriously returns from the grave and resumes his dark and chilling killing spree, Holmes and Watson must take up the hunt once again. Contending with his partner's new fiancée and the dimwitted head of Scotland Yard, the dauntless detective must unravel the clues behind the mystery. Which will evidently lead him into a twisted web of murder, deceit, and black magic - and worse still, the deadly embrace of temptress Irene Adler.

 

So as you can tell by the premises of what the plot offers, that this film has the basis of a good story. The concept is there. I would be obliged to agree that there is nothing wrong with the story. I feel however maybe the films biggest fault, if probably due to the pase of it, or the progression of the story, it certainly gets better and more dramatic towards the end. I do think, that the major fault in this film, is probably the pase of it. It doesn't really do anything for me at all.

That being said, There some great fight scenes in this film. It's funny, the concept is clever, nice twists and turns in the plot that keeps the audience guessing, I love the costumes and settings to impersonate the 1880's /90's; It's very authentic and believable to the audience to extent their imagination.

As a crime drama, yes I would say that this film, stands up pretty well as being a decent feature length crime drama. It has a certain cleverness to it, which as I said keeps the audience guessing and wanting more. Which is why I think it's important that you should be in the right frame of mind to watch this film, otherwise your just not going to get it, at all. It will bore you.



Performance wise, You have some fantastic actors coming into this production who have a plethora of experience, so there is no doubt that he or she will do a good job.

I liked Robert Downey Jr, as Sherlock Holmes, I think Downey Jr is one of those people who is really good as being unusual, and strange. He has that quality of essentricty to him which in turn pays off, because it makes him likable as an actor.

Jude Law as well, very good performance from him, he plays Watson. very controlled and bold performance, again Jude Law is one of those actors who knows how to act, and act well, so he and Robert Downey Jr together are absolutely dynamic. They are a fantastic pair.

Mark Strong, playing the baddie. very sinister appeal to his character, sharp and controlled. He looks convincing to me as someone who could be evil, what Mark is able to do with his expressions and his eyes is brilliant, he takes a gift that he has, and uses it in order to tell his character. He is an actor with a lot of skill, and like Downey Jr, he to is eccentric. Again brilliant performance.

Rachael McAdams as Irene Adler, on one hand the over confident sex appeal of the show. on the other a scared little girl who just wants to stop running. Rachael McAdams, again very experienced, she's very good in other serious drama's that she's done. In this she's great for the purpose of her character being supported by Downey Jr.

As far as the Production is concerned on Sherlock Holmes, it has it's moments of accuracy and necessity of being a crime drama. Which is all very good, it accomplishes the task set. Holmes of course being an incredible story, and now that we have these new films out we as the viewer can enjoy and of course, we have the TV series with Benedict Cumberbatch which is brilliant as well. 

Overall I do believe that is film is very much down to how the viewer is feeling, if your in the mood to sit down and watch it and intake all you can from it. Then do. I think you'll take a lot form it. If you however don't feel that way, then my advice would be, to watch it later when your in a better mood.

I will give it a 6/10, It's an ok film, with a decent plot and storyline.

1 Gold Star to Robert Downey Jr
1 Gold Star to Mark Strong

Thank you for reading this review, I hope my review has been useful to you. Should you go on to watch the film.

NEXT TIME : I will review Spy action thriller 'Red' starring Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman and Helen Mirrin.

I will post that review on Monday the 29th of July 2013.

Review : Snakes on a Plane



Snakes on a Plane -  A tight spot thriller, in which an FBI agent takes a plane journey,  full of some unexpected guests, a group of deadly and poisonous snakes. Deliberately released to kill a witness being flown from Honolulu to Los Angeles to testify against a mob boss.

Hello Film Fans

Welcome to my newest film review, in today's review I have chosen a tight spot thriller, starring Samuel L Jackson, 'Snakes on a Plane'.

The film was released back in the summer of 2006. It did pretty well, I'm sure it stands up as being a pretty successful movie, I certainly enjoyed it. I think the idea was good, if your wanting to come up with an idea for a new thriller, why do a film set on a plane, and have deadly snakes on that plane with them. That's a really good idea for a tight spot thriller movie, it can entertain as well as excite. The title 'Snakes on a Plane' though it does what it says on the tin, it's to the point, punchy and an exciting title, so very well chosen title.

The Storyline to 'Snakes on a Plane' entails of a young man - Sean Jones who whilst practising motocross in Hawaii,  witnesses the brutal murder of an important American prosecutor, by a powerful and untouchable mobster Eddie Kim.

He is protected and persuaded by the FBI agent Neville Flynn, who strongly suggests that Sean testifies against Eddie in Los Angeles. They embark in the red-eye Flight 121 of Pacific Air, occupying the entire first-class section.

However, It's not all plain sailing, as Eddie dispatches hundred of different species of snakes airborne. At a set time operated device in the luggage to release the snakes on the flight with the intent of crashing the plane. Neville and the passengers have to then struggle to avoid the snakes and survive.

As you can tell, the storyline arouses the interests of viewer to want to go and see it. The snakes themselves are computerised and accomplished with CGI. They looked to me quite animated and not so much believable as they could have looked, however if it looks like a snake, that's all the viewer needs in order to know what it is, I'm just pointing if you notice, they do look off - putting.



It is arguably said that this film is quite over dramatic, which I would agree to disagree upon, in some places yes, but it is just trying to fulfil it's purposes of being a thriller. It's nothing you can blame the film for as being a let down. In other ways it fails to gain interest, for example the first couple of minutes are a little hazy, it takes a while for the real action to start, and when the action does start, it never stops and lasts until the last few minutes. The director did a very good job at keeping the pace going, not excelling the limit of going to quickly, the action very much progresses all the way through.

Performance wise, you have Samuel L Jackson, who is probably the most experienced and well known actor in the cast. He was great. I really enjoyed the performance he gave, he was funny, serious and never let the two compare. You can tell he had a great time making that film.

The director on 'Snakes on a Plane' David R. Ellis; did a great job at fulfilling the needs of an action movie, I thought he did a very good job. As I said earlier he did a good job at keeping the pace going, he knew what he wanted the actors to do, which is always a good thing. He came across to me as being a very clear director who presented his ideas well, and communicated very much all of what he wanted to communicate.




 Overall 'Snakes on a Plane' It's a film in which you need to make up your own mind on, should you go on to watch it. It's all very well just saying my opinion, but really it really is up to you, what you think. Hopefully you'll agree with me, or maybe you'll have a different opinion to mine, entirely.

It is in my opinion, a very good film - 6/10

1 Gold Star to Samuel L Jackson

NEXT TIME : I will be reviewing 'Sherlock Holmes' starring Robert Downey Jr as Holmes and Jude Law as Dr Watson. An interesting film, one I have mixed views about which I will go into more detail about when I review it.

Review : The Dark Knight Rises






The Dark Knight Rises -  Eight years has passed since Harvey Dent died. a new and deadly evil rises from where the Batman and Commissioner Gordon tried to bury it, causing the Batman to resurface and fight to protect Gotham City... the very city which brands him an enemy.

Hello Film lovers

In today's review, I will review a fantastic film, a truly epic conclusion to the dark knight legend. The Dark Knight rises, sees the conclusion to the Christopher Nolan trilogy and sees Christian Bale hang up his mask and cape for good.

The film was a huge hit last year, with it being widely renounded as being one of the best films released in 2012. It stands out in my mind as being a great film, It didn't have as big an impact on me as much as 'The Dark Knight' did. However having said that, The Dark Knight Rises never fails to entertain me, and it's action packed, brilliantly directed and builds up to it's climax brilliantly.

The Story or continuation from where The Dark Knight left off is, Despite his tarnished reputation after the catastrophes of the joker and the fall of Harvey Dent, Batman feels compelled to intervene to assist the city and its police force which is struggling to cope with Bane's plans to corrupt and destroy the city.

Bane of course, is Batman's arch Nemesis in 'The Dark Knight Rises' and what a villain to pick for Batman to fight against. Bane has had a bumpy ride over the years of Batman movies. This time we get to see Bane in a new way, He's still tough and true to the character in the comic strips and graphic novels, but I think bringing the sense of intellect and morality to the character makes the character ever more intimidating.




Bane of course, is played by actor Tom Hardy, and Tom Hardy is just extraordinary in this, what he's able to do with his expressions and his eyes, it's really quite clever and unnerving. As I watch him, he's very plain sighted but he's playing a character who knows no boundaries, inside he's planning stuff, stuff we don't know about but we will do as the film progresses. Hardy communicates that to the audience with intimidating appeal, and expressions with his eyes and eye brows, it's difficult to act without your mouth, he did an amazing job, Tom Hardy, he did good with what he had.

People now and again complain about the plot holes in this story, though I wasn't aware there were so many when I first watched it, looking back on it now, It is a story that leaves the audience members asking a lot of questions - for example 17 minutes into the film, you got Alfred telling you how the film is going to end, some people may think that that was a clever pick up line, for me I knew what was happening whilst watching that that was going to happen

However in contrast to that the film also ends leaving people in believing that they have watched something incredible - for example that plan crash scene at the beginning with Bane was one of the best scenes I have seen in a film, in all the years I've been on this planet, which is all of 17 and a 1/2 years now, that scene blew me away.

It has to be said, Christopher Nolan does a great job on producing and directing this film, to the up most of abilities. It is a dedicated and very profounded piece with excellent casting, I mean Anne Hathaway as Cat woman was just incredible, one the best performances she's in a film by a mile.



As a story, I thought it was clever, I thought some of the explanations as to how what happened were clever, all the back story to the prison set in the pit was very detailed and fitted into the story perfectly, Bruce Wayne's courage and devotion was tested to the limit. At the time when I first saw it, I didn't really get all the messages, but now that I do. It makes perfect sense to me as to how he could escape, and why he needed to escape.

The final battle was brilliantly shot, very climatic and adaptable for the cinema, overly dramatic and had me on edge, which again was good.

In a nutshell, a really fantastic film. one of the best films I've seen in many a long day. A great way to end the story, not that I wanted it to end. There are a few plot holes which let the story down, should you care to question it, but still overly brilliant, visually stunning, great pop corn flick, it offers more than any Batman film can.

For that reason I'll give it a 8/10

Thank you for reading this review.

NEXT TIME : I will review 'Snakes on a Plane' next, Samuel L Jackson experiences extreme turbulence and tackles some unwanted guests in another high tense action thriller, I will post that review on Thursday the 25th of July 2013.

Review : The Dark Knight



The Dark Knight :  When Batman, L.T Gordon and new D.A Harvey Dent launch an assault on the mob, they let the clown out of the box, so to speak. The Joker is back, bent on turning Gotham on itself and bringing any heroes down to his level.

Hello Film Lovers

Welcome to the latest of Dr Film film reviews. Today I will be continuing my pursuit into the Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy. Today I am going to be talking about The Dark Knight, the second instalment of the trilogy and probably the most important part of the Bruce Wayne story. Though Batman Begins was more a starting off point Dark Knight really excels and explores the character of Bruce Wayne, and how he deals with being a billionaire by day, and crime fighter Batman at night.

This time, Batman is up against a new opponent - The Joker. Which is a no brainer really, he is the most iconic and dangerous villain in the world of Batman. If your doing a Batman film, sooner or later the writer of the director realises, The Joker's going to have to turn up some time.

The Continuation or this sector of the story, explores Batman and how he raises the stakes in his war on crime. With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon and New District Attorney Harvey Dent, Batman sets out to dismantle the remaining criminal organisations that plague the city streets.

This partnership proves to be effective to start of with. But they soon find themselves, prey to a reign of chaos unleashed by a rising criminal mastermind known to the terrified citizens of Gotham as The Joker.

The issues raised in Dark Knight, are fairly straight forward, like Batman Begins it delivers a little message of it's own, that message being the Joker's message of 'One ordinary man can fall' and the Joker is a great antagonist. He's very much his own boss, he is a man who just wants to watch the world burn, and takes pleasure of doing horrible things for his own gain, and Nolan really plays with that, he doesn't see the Joker as a laughy physcopath, he sees him a calculating and domineering character, that is one step ahead of Batman all the time.




I think what makes the Dark Knight, a disconcerting story is the fact of the matter of there being quite gritty and cold violence in it. not that I object to that, I would expect no less, but at the same time this is not a children's film. The 12 rating is something, which needs to be taken seriously. I do think that though the story is very meaningful and good, It is a very on edge, high tense thriller with very gritty and gory moments in there. It's the sort of thing which needs to be taken seriously. Not to any extreme  extent cause it's a fiction, but still the awareness issues, and political messages, I would suggest taking them into account. Other wise, what's the point of watching the film.

The story explores new depths to Bruce, as Bruce and Bruce as Batman, you can tell he finds it difficult to tackle the two roles, hand in hand. I think that really comes through especially in the scene, where the audience witness the death of Rachael, and the demise of Harvey Dent when he becomes Two Face. That's a great example of the importance of a decisison. Especially for Bruce, because at the time he's not Bruce - he's Batman, he's just doing a job. The point is explored further in a different scene where Alfred reads the letter that Rachael writes to Bruce, of how she is sure he knows that he will always be Batman. It's true, but very much a kick in the head.



In a nutshell, The story is better developed, and explores the aspects of Bruce Wayne tackling between him and his alter-ego very well. very much a more darker and mellow story than Batman begins, which is a good and bad thing.

The main problem, is that this film really concentrates on selling itself on being one thing, that slows the story right down.

Overall, I think The Dark Knight is just an amazing film, but has it's faults here and there. 8/10

Review : Batman Begins



Batman Begins : After being mentally and physically trained by his mentor, Bruce Wayne becomes Batman and begins his war on crime to free the crime-ridden Gotham City; In order top avenge the death of his parents and  defeat the corruption that the Scarecrow and the League of Shadows have cast upon the city.

Hello Film Lovers

Welcome to the next Dr.Film review of the month, in today's reviews I will be beginning my reviews for the Christopher Nolan - Batman trilogy. Over the next 3 days, I will be reviewing all three Nolan Batman movies, as I did with the Hangover trilogy, just so I can look back on each of the three movies with fondness and explore the world of Bruce Wayne, through Nolan's eyes.

Every Journey has a beginning, so I will start off with 'Batman Begins'. Released back in June 2005, Starring Christian Bale, Micheal Caine and Liam Neesan in the leading roles. 

The Story starts off with giving off the starting point to Bruce Wayne's story, before he became Batman; When his parents were killed, millionaire playboy Bruce relocates to Asia when he is mentored by Henri Ducard and Ra's Al Ghul in how to fight evil. 

When learning about the plan to wipe out evil and destroy Gotham City by Ducard, Bruce prevents the plan from getting any further and heads back to his home. Back in his original surroundings, Bruce adopts the image of a bat to strike fear into the hearts of criminals and the corrupt as the icon known as 'Batman'. But it doesn't stay quiet for long.

In a sense there is a message of 'The mantel of Batman is more than a suit, it's more than a job. It's a legend. It's whats needed to strike fear into the hearts of criminals, remember criminals are a superstitious and cowardly lot. If they see you out there, they have a reason to be afraid. Batman gives them something to be afraid of' and that message never goes away, during the procreation of the first film. It stays with the audience from when Bruce puts on the Batman suit for the first time in Batman Begins, to the very end of 'The Dark Knight Rises'.

The attention to detail, in Batman Begins is so well interiated and designed, and the production on it is just fantastic, and for a production released in 2005, It was very good going of them to create something so brilliantly detailed and crafted. for example 'Wayne Manour' I thought all the sets for Wayne Manor were great, sort of 1800's feel to it, gives off big impression for the big pressures Bruce Wayne is under as Bruce Wayne and as Batman. I believe Nolan shows that off brilliantly.





  

However, If I'm honest with you my absolute favourite scene from 'Batman Begins' is the final climatic fight scene on the train, between Batman and the main villain Liam Neesan's - Ra's Al Ghul. I though the fight sequence was very clean cut, built up dramatically through the music and over all brought tension to me as a viewer, so all in all very good going, I think that's a brilliant scene.

Idea wise, I liked the idea that The League of Shadows were going to terrorise Gotham by inflicting a terror gas across the city through using Gotham's water supply; it's a clever way to do it. It was well written, and well included Cillian Murphy as 'Scarecrow / Dr Craine'.

Performance wise, I can't really say an awful lot about the actors performances; because no one really stood out to me as being better than anyone else, I thought all members of the cast of 'Batman Begins' were great, they were equal to their own level as well as other members of the cast. I liked everyone, even the extras did a good job.




'Batman Begins' offers something different, than any other Batman movie released previous, it has emotion, it has depth to the story, it has very good attention to detail. I would recommend though, You should probably watch 'Batman Begins' a few times in order to get it. You do need to watch it a few times, in order to understand the true meaning behind it, to expect the unexpected and embrace the challenges that this movie throws upon it's viewers.

Overall, I would say a very decent start to something that could only get better as it goes along.

I'll give 'Batman Begins' a 7.5/10

Thank you for reading this review, I hope you enjoyed it.

TOMORROW: I will review 'The Dark Knight' a film that has gone down in movie history as being ' a masterpiece'

Review : This is the End

This is the End - While attending a massive party at James Franco's house, Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel and many other well known celebrities are faced with a terrifying apocalypse.



Hello Everyone


Welcome to my next Dr.Film film review, which is the new Seth Rogan movie 'This is the End'. A movie I was very excited about watching, I thought the concept was great, I thought the celebrities were very well chosen; it's very much like "extras" where the celebs involved play over exaggerated versions of themselves, which is great. I love a laugh.

I'll be honest I wasn't expecting much, I knew it was going to be about the end of the world, but I had no idea that the cast members were going to be playing themselves, until I saw the trailers. Based on the trailers and all the publicity stuff, it really excelled my interests in wanting to go and see it. It was promoted very well, for something that came to my attention, at let's face it - the last minute. I had no idea that this was coming out.

The Story is takes place in Los Angeles in 2013. Whilst attending a party at James Franco's house, Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel and many other celebrities are faced with the climatic and terrifying apocalypse. To such lengths of six guys be stuck in a house. they are barricaded in, with little food and water. Between the six of them, although their friends there is a lot of conflict and disagreement that goes on between this group of friends.

Which I don't object to, arguments within a group are interesting, if they were to get on between the start and end of the film, the film would just get boring. I do feel some of the jokes were a bit over the top. I feel some of the acting was a bit hammy in places, namely from James Franco Danny McBride and Jonah Hill. Other than that, didn't really have a lot problems with 'This is the end' I thought it was a pretty decent film.



As far as jokes are concerned, this film could of been funnier. I smirked at some lines, but I during the whole course of the film, I didn't laugh out loud. One thing I really didn't like was the moderate sex references and penis jokes, they just weren't funny. they were stupid. There's an example of this when the guys are discussing what to do with Emma Watson, and Jay makes a suggestion for which is misunderstood, the whole raping Emma Watson thing just wasn't funny at all. As a comedy it was disappointing.

As a thriller it wasn't, I thought the director and Seth Rogan did a very good job at keeping the pace going. There were as I said conflicts and disagreements amongst several characters, and each character has something bad about them for which by the end they start to understand and learn from their mistakes. In the end, learn to repent so they can go up to heaven.

I thought, the whole set up of the destroyed world, was fantastic, it looked believable. It was atmopsheric, it was authentic, it gave off a dark mood to it which was awesome. It gave off a real christian sense of realism between the worlds of heaven and hell, and that this demon with five heads is coming back to walk the earth. That was all good, that made sense and fitted into the story really well. I also liked the look of heaven, that was good, as a christian it resembles everything id expect heaven to look like.



In a nutshell, This was in every sense of the word, and okay-ish movie. nothing special, not hilariously funny. Just ok. Seth Rogan's done better.

I'll give it a 6/10

Thank you for reading this review, if you don't like what I've said, it is just my opinion. I am very open to hearing other comments you have to say about the film. As I believe everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

NEXT TIME : I will review Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Batman trilogy. Starting with 'Batman Begins' were the journey starts for Christian Bale's Bruce Wayne. I will start the Batman reviews on Thursday the 18th of July 2013.
