Now I give my bigoted opinion on the movies I've watched recently. Dun like it? I don't care!!! Hahaha...
What recent movies have I watched recently? Let's see... X-Men 3, Da Vinci's Code, Over the Hedge, and The Omen. I can't comment on Over the Hedge.. it is a nice movie indeed, and since it's for kids ( not some lao ah pek like me.. hah) I won't comment. No.. I think I'll comment on the movies not targeted at kids.
X-Men 3.. hmm... well it wasn't badly done, I'd say. Typical over-the-head special effects, with some cool stunts done by Magneto ( turning this whole bridge.. cooool I wanna do that!!) and of course our hero of the day, Wolverine. Good actors, some eye candy ( Oooh.. Kitty is cute! And of cos Halle Berry always rox ^^) and all the mutants showing off their powers in this final showdown. The last battle was fun...
But!!! It was flawed , always will be to X-Men fans, and a little to not-so-obsessed people like me. For one.. trying to showcase sooo many mutant powers, they sideline the extras who had a pretty prominent role in the cartoon or comics. Or even poor little Rogue.. but then in the movies shes always the damsel in distress, so nvm. But wtf... they killed CYCLOPS sooo damn early!!!! WTF.. he was the leader of the X-Men siah... how can u just kill him off like tt... and u din even give him the least bit of use in the whole movie series. So wasted siah....
And Gambit!!!! My bloody fave X-Man... why in hell u guys din even show him??? Even as the baddie he wld have been sooo cool.. he was one of their team in the cartoon somemore. If theres an X-Men 4 he better be inside!!! He wld make for a really nice fight scene wiv anyone, esp those 2 spiky hairs ( Wolverine n Beast)
Now the Da Vinci Code... it's the mystery of the century! It's enigmatic! Awe-inspiring! Wondrous! Annnnnnddddddd ssssslllllooooooowwwwww.................................. but then wad 2 expect, so was the book, haha. Yes, I read the book before I saw the movie. Bad move... as usual, I ended seeing sooo many flaws in the movie. Inaccuracies , misses, and too early to reveal the identity of The Teacher. And honestly, what is with Tom Hanks and that long forehead??? Freak... they shld change tt horse joke wiv Tom Hanks. You know... Tom Hanks walks into a bar. The bartender looks at him and says why the long face.....-.-
( Oh, but the choice of Sophie Neveu was perfect...Audrey Tatuou n her irrestibly cute face...)
And the ending is also diao.. but the book also wad, so wad 2 say....
Finally.. the Omen. I should say it's very well done.. really looks and sounds and feels great. I'm not going 2 turn Christian and cover my walls wiv crosses because of that, but its a great horror movie with a nice style... not too cheesy or anything. Nice intro, ending, and overall good show. Especially the sound effects.. those r really wad made me jump.
Oh, but the characters were really interesting. Good actors, including tt child satan, tt impaled priest who in other movies is always some mad fellow, the nice and evil nanny, and even tt supernice daddy who loves his wife so much n doesnt just abandon her cos she goes mad. Too nice, since of course they want him 2 kill his satanic devilspawn son. Oops, musn't reveal the plot....
But I'd like 2 say sthing... the little boy shld learn sthing frm psychopaths in real life. They never reveal their identity until they get caught, and try to avoid detection. They go ubernice to ppl so nobody knows wad in hell they really do. The boy shld try tt next time...be nice 2 ppl, stop being menacing 2 everyone so tt when u use yr powers, nobody will know tt the demon doing this is tt perfectly obedient prim n proper boy who cld never hurt a fly...... awww....
Well tts all the movies I've watched recently.. i tink. Ill post when i remember n feel like posting.. heheh.
