Movie Watch
So I have some movie reviews to catch up with as for the last few weeks I have seen some amazing films so let me share thease with you.
Manchester Imax is showing the latest installment of Harry potter on a screen 85 feet wide with 14,ooo wats of sound and I can say it is like no other screen you will see. Now I'm not the biggest harry potter fan and I would say the other 4 film have got better as time goes on, I don’t read the book and I'm not excited about what happening but I will watch the films. So now on to this film and what a film, the visual effects are fantastic and have come on a long way from what we saw in the first harry potter. The acting is well…still somewhat wooden from the younger members of the cast but again it’s a nice change from what I thought were card board cut outs in the first movie but now you start to see some life and emotion. For me this is the turning point in the film and they have now become something epic, a step up in the film world. The story is something which sucks you in and keeps you moving alog at some speed and just when you think you have an idea off it goes again. I think you get something different if you had read the book, I'm not sure of that will be a good different or bad different though. The 3D was good and better that i have seen in full leangh films but only the last 20mins, its still worth seeing it.
I'm 27 and have seen a lot of film and this was the first time I ever wanted to be a wizard.
Ok Next film
Well all know and love the Simpson, if you don’t there is something wrong with you as it been with us for what feels like birth and now it has made the big jump from small screen to the BIG screen and you know what, even though it’s the same length of 3 back to back episodes it’s a dam good film. I had reservations as for me it had to be something good and not what I watched on tv the night before, it looks different as its not in CGI but still holds 90% of what you would expect Simpsons to look like but it now has more of a shine to it, the story is good but not excitingly new, and its funny, even very funny but this is what I expected it to be. I cant see this film wining any awards and after a few weeks its will just disappear until you see it at Asda for £9.99 but I dare you not to enjoy it, just try not to.
So he is back, vest and all. Its good, it is. I sat there and enjoyed all of it, its fast, explosive, funny and nothing new. I cant explain it but there was nothing there to get you really excited. Maybe that’s what they wanted. I could not sit here and pick any holes in the movie, good cast, strong acting, a true die hard story, enough explosions and gun fights to keep the most hard core fan happy, the sexy bad girl, the slightly unbelievable action scenes, car chases, John beaten to a pulp but still fighting. You see its all there and its all pretty predictable but good. I would not say this is a bad movie and if that’s what you fancy on that night go and see it and I bet you enjoy it just not as much as you would have hoped.
Well its been a Long time coming and this would be another of the films I have been looking forward to and after a shaky start to the summer movies no thanks to the fantastic 4 upsetting effort we see Transformers hits the Big and Digital screens.
If like me you remember watching the cartoons many many years ago you may have had your own Idea of what it would all look like as a live action film and from the first teaser trailers from about a year ago to the main big trailers I have been very excited to see this film and I did, not just any old 35mm copy but I got to check it on the digital projector which Odeon have in the Printworks, now there are films out there which look good on the DLP but some that look just like the 35mm counterpart but Transformers looks hart stopping, the so bright and color full even to the extent off when I was checking it in last night to a full screen when the digital kicked it there was a gasp from about 150 people, its that good!
Now on to the film, well I don’t think I have the words, for me it was a blockbuster, not a big summer movie a blockbuster like we used to get. Its been a very long time since I sat in a screen for 2 ½ hours and had so much fun and excitement. The graphics of the film are just awesome and at no point did I sit there and not feel any of it, the acting is surprisingly good seeing as they used some small actors from some major roles. Its wonderful getting you on the edge of your seat with anticipation and then pushing you back with explosive action scenes as you hold out hope that good can overcome evil. this was the most enjoyable film I have see this year and I would recommend this to anyone. Now I want to be a Transformer!
