Indiana Jones4: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Caught it @ STAR CINEPLEX, KUCHING
Its 1 HOUR or SO of nonstop of Indiana Jones!!
You should catch it because YOU WOULD LOVE THE OLD SCHOOL TYPE OF ADVENTURES.
You should not watch this movie if YOU WATCH TOO MUCH FUTURISTIC MOVIES

I expected a lot form this movie. It was HUGE when I was small. Everyone was practically talking about how nice it was, and it set a trend of sorts, making kids go crazy of being Indiana Jones. I didn't prepare for the worst as I felt that past remakes of movies recently, and sequels of comic adaptations went by pretty well, and I hoped Indiana Jones 4 was doing the same.

Nonetheless, actions speaks more than words. I slept after half an hour through the movie. The movie made me realize that I am no more into the old-fashion treasure hunting which involves so little romance and state of the art cinematography. I have to say that if you have watched The Mummy, this story would feel so outdated with the pretty old cast. With that said, I think that Indiana Jones 4 is nothing but a failure, and nothing special could be made out of this movie.

BATMAN - THE DARK KNIGHT

Where I watched it: STAR Cineplex, Kuching
Duration: 2 Hour 35 mins
Description: Awesome
Should you watch this? : YES!!

The movie started off rather slow,but the ending was nothing short of awesome. At the end of the day, you just have to feel the pain, and if you are kind of wondering how the villain 'Two-Face' came to life, this is the Batman movie to watch.

I can't say the cinematography was that good, if compared to Hell Boy, but being a huge fan of the capped crusader, I felt the good storyline made up for every weakness in the movie. The image played by the Joker was also really outstanding, but I have to admit was a little dissapointed that the ending seemed loopy, or unfinished. Nonetheless, the Dark Knight is a movie you should not miss this year. A 4/5 rating from me.

HELLBOY (2008) - The Golden Army

Where I watched it: STAR Cineplex, Kuching
Duration: 2 Hour 05 mins
Description: Great
Should you watch this? : YES!!

I am not a fan of Hellboy. I didn't really enjoy the first one, but the second one looks promising, and so, I forked out RM10 to watch a movie that seems uncertain to be nice or not, and guess what? I liked this one.

The plot is simple. Hellboy needs to save the world... and all that yada yada yada.. superhero stuff.. Its the lame thing, with Hellboy eventually coming out on top. Putting that boring fact aside... the effects in this movie was just awesome, and the cinematography was fantastic. It wasn't that action packed, but if you love movies like X-men, Fantastic Four or Men In Black, this is one for you. Apart from that, there are small tip bits of jokes spun around the plot making you smile througout the movie, and I guess, at the end of the day it just comes down to the fact that the movie is a good way to sit down and relax with a few friends. There is nothing significant, but I'd give this a 4/5 rating as it was enjoyable.

HANCOCK

Where I watched it: STAR Cineplex, Kuching
Duration: 1 Hour 32 mins
Description: Great
Should you watch this? : YES!!


By all means, this is not the average superhero movie. As far as I am concern, a Will Smith movie has never disappointed me and this is no exception. The movie star's Hancock, which is played by Will Smith whom has supernatural powers(sort of like Superman, without those laser eyes). He is a drunkard, and saves people in the most unorthodox methods, that most New Yorkers hate him due to his high destruction rate to the city's property. Nonetheless, this all changed after he saves the life of PR executive, Ray Embrey whom tries to change Hancock into an iconic figure he should be. The movie also touches on how Hancock gets his powers, and how he meets his ultimate soul through Ray.

To be frank, the plot of the movie is simple, and I was kind of dissapointed to the fact that the middle end part of the movie was not as explosive as I expected. Nonetheless, with the tagline "not your average superhero", I guess, the storyline is also not the typical 'superhero' storyline, and with an ending such as what I saw, I bet my money that there would soon be a Hancock 2. I'd rate this movie at 4/5, as it is worth the money!
