I don't know about anyone else, but I think this movie sucks, no offence to the cast of the movie. i feel it was a pure waste off money, time and actors. it just didn't make sense to me. even with all the special effects. For those of you still considering going to the cinemas to watch this movie, please, please and please, don't waste your hard earned cash on this. what do you guys think?

As usual, marvel needs no introduction and we all know that marvel movies are usually action packed. I have to say that this second installment is definitely amped up compared to the first one. There are some serious car chase scenes.Which is really good stuff. I love getting to know Black Widow better as well as the totally awesome Nick Fury. Fascinating characters. And Falcon? Dude. That fancy winged flying suit was really cool! I'm hoping to see more of that in the next installment. I wonder what Iron Man thinks about that suit? We know what he said to captain america in the avengers....."EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU CAME OUT OF A TEST TUBE" now that is some serious funny  stuff to say to the american hero. If you haven't seen this movie, i urge you to do so immediately. IT IS DA BOMB!!!

Knowing that a ride along will demonstrate if Ben has what it takes to take care of his sister, James invites him on a shift designed to scare the hell out of the trainee. But when the wild night leads them to the most notorious criminal in the city, James will find that his new partner's rapid-fire mouth is just as dangerous as the bullets speeding at it.

Am a fan of ice cube, loved his hardcore rap back in the days and i also know the dude is stiff and not really the funny type. But kelvin hart on the other hand is an hilarious little fellow, i enjoyed some of his stand up comedies and i sometimes feel he is overly trying to be too funny sometimes. Ice cube and Kelvin Hart made something of this movie. its a little funny and good to watch. Have you seen this movie? if you have, what is your opinion?

                                                                                         

Based on Frank Miller's latest graphic novel Xerxes, and told in the breathtaking visual style of the blockbuster "300," this new chapter of the epic saga takes the action to a fresh battlefield-on the sea-as Greek general Themistokles attempts to unite all of Greece by leading the charge that will change the course of the war. This film pits Themistokles against the massive invading Persian forces led by mortal-turned-god Xerxes, and Artemesia, vengeful commander of the Persian navy.

If you loved 300, then i have no doubt that you would also love the sequel 300 rise of an empire. This time around, there are more fearless six-packed warriors and rivers of blood and various amputated body parts flying around. Costume and story line was ok and i liked the warrior look of Eva Green (Artemisia). Its a cool movie to watch, if your not the type that hates to see blood and amputated body parts. If you have seen this movie, whats your take on it?

I expected much more from this movie, i was a little disappointed. I prefer the old Robocop to this one. The new Robocop lacked something, it was like there was something missing in the story line. Don't get me wrong, effects and all were ok, but i just didn't feel it. It was kinda incomplete. But it was ok, just expected more.

We've always known that Spider-Man's most important battle has been within himself: the struggle between the ordinary obligations of Peter Parker and the extraordinary responsibilities of Spider-Man. It's great to be Spider-Man. For Peter Parker, there's no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen. But being Spider-Man comes at a price: only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New Yorkers from the formidable villains that threaten the city. With the emergence of Electro, Peter must confront a foe far more powerful than he. And as his old friend, Harry Osborn, returns, Peter comes to realize that all of his enemies have one thing in common: OsCorp.

Based on the CIA analyst created by espionage master Tom Clancy, "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit" is a blistering action thriller that follows Ryan from his quiet double-life as a veteran-turned-Wall Street executive to his all-out initiation as a hunted American agent on the trail of a massive terrorist plot in Moscow. Ryan appears to be just another New York executive to his friends and loved ones, but his enlistment into the CIA secretly goes back years. He was brought in as a brainy Ph.D. who crunches global data - but when Ryan ferrets out a meticulously planned scheme to collapse the U.S. economy and spark global chaos, he becomes the only man with the skills to stop it. Now, he's gone fully operational, thrust into a world of mounting suspicion, deception and deadly force. Caught between his tight-lipped handler Harper, his in-the-dark fiancée Cathy and a brilliant Russian oligarch, Jack must confront a new reality where no one can seem to be trusted, yet the fate of millions rests on his finding the truth. With the urgency of a lit fuse, he's in a race to stay one step ahead of everyone around him.
