I thought this film was 70% Stark, only 30% Iron Man. I felt this film was too long and could be edited to tighten the suspense and streamline the storytelling more. Overall, "Iron Man 3" was just alright, but not really worth all the hype given it. Too much hype can disappoint you. Temper your expectations. 6/10

Definitely, this is one very funny and entertaining film for the whole family. Fans of those naughty little yellow Minions will rejoice as they have practically half of the movie running time dedicated to them, and there are so many more of them here. Fans of good 3D effects will really find this film so cool. I just missed some of the heart that made the first installment more than special. 7/10

3. Man of Steel - $290.3M ($657.3M)Overall, this is a very satisfying reboot of the Superman series by Zach Snyder. The technical aspects of the film were excellent, especially the rich cinematography, the fast-paced editing, as well as the visual and sound effects of the battle scenes. This film has a charm distinct enough form the Reeve version and will be a successful franchise of its own. 8/10

Overall, this is another solid animated feature by Pixar. Like other Pixar films, this was funny, with just the right amount of emotion and moral lesson in it. The movie is very entertaining for the whole family, but maybe more for the kids and the kids at heart. I do hope Pixar can soon come up with another ground-breaking ORIGINAL story to bring back them back to their glory days. 6/10.

Overall this is one very entertaining and exhilarating film, which I understood and appreciated well even if I have not seen any of the previous films. The top-notch explosive action sequences left nothing to be desired, really breath-taking. These heart-stopping car stunts are all admittedly impossible and maybe downright ridiculous, but that was why they were all so awesome to watch! 7/10.

This is a very entertaining, very satisfying movie I'd heartily tell everyone to watch, Star Trek nerd or not. It covers all aspects of the Star Trek that makes it the long-lasting popular favorite that it is: the teamwork, the adventure, the action, the drama, and yes, the humor, all are still definitely there. Highly highly recommended, 10/10!

Overall, I found this movie by Director Marc Foster, in itself, quite absorbing and intense, and ultimately quite entertaining and satisfying in terms of its action and story telling. It had almost nothing to do with the book anyway, which is why the book's fans are up in arms against it. Those who have not read the book at all will have no problems with this film. 7/10

Overall, I enjoyed watching "The Heat". Seeing the strange-looking poster, I almost passed on it. But I'm such a Sandra Bullock fan, I couldn't resist to see her latest comedy film. This film is not perfect (there was a poorly-executed choking scene that choked) nor is it wholesome (the vulgar language went overboard), but simply a lot of fun to watch. The stars make this old idea work -- big time! 7/10

This film was very well made and deserves to be seen by all who love the book, or even fans of the 1974 film. It is a vast improvement over the 1974 film. The use of flashbacks in this current version to show us more about the history of Gatsby as a boy and young man was really helpful to understand where he was coming from. The symbolism of the green light and the eyes of Dr. Eckleburg cannot be ignored this time. Highly recommended! 9/10

10. The Conjuring - $134.1M ($243.6M)Overall, watching this film will really immerse you into the intense malevolence that terrorized the Perron family. Many creepy images you see will stick with you for a long time. All the hype was accurate this time. This IS one of the best horror films in recent years. 8/10

I was able to watch the top 3 movies and I enjoyed all of them.
ReplyDeleteI have seen only 4 films from your list. Need to catch up on Gatsby and Star Trek into Darkness.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, do you have a review on "Once Upon a Time" series? Watch it with you kids! :) My child's memory beats the hell out of me! She gets excited, confused and horrified with Rumpelstiltskin's character.
Green Dei is Daryll's another account :)
DeleteHi Daryll! No I have not seen that TV series yet. Not really into TV except GoT and AI. Hehe. Will try to check out one say. Thanks for your recommendation!
DeleteI think I've seen that movie Daryll. :P
DeleteOut of the ten I've seen four and that is the first four in the list. I wish I could have seen 7 to 9 though. For the others, it's not my cup of tea. :P
