Iron Man 2 Review…
May 25th
Watch Iron Man 2 with my wife recently. Celebrating her birthday.
Anyway, booked a couple seat, 11.30pm show. Was a bit late because we went to Ikea earlier and need to send my brother and aunt back home before heading to Jaya Jusco Bukit Tinggi.
Anyway, I’ll keep it short and simple.
Iron Man 2
It all started with an appearance from Tony Stark in the Iron Man suit to officially launch/open the Stark Expo.
Now he help to maintain world peace with his suit. The palladium in his arc reactor in his chest is slowly killing him and he need to find a new replacement for the palladium. Unable to find the replacement for the palladium and he is dieing, he appointed his former personal assistant/ his girlfriend as the CEO of Stark Industries.
There’s too many conflict in this movie but the story is more towards Tony struggling with himself and the government giving him the pressure to share his technology. So, these people from S.H.I.E.L.D. a secret agency who sent Natalie or her real name in the movie, Natasha Romanoff (Black Widow) played by Scarlett Johansson to spy on Tony Stark.
And there’s a guy named Ivan Vanko (the guy with the whip) is seeking for revenge at Tony Stark. He’s not actually bad to my opinion. Very intelligent villain which he later developed few drown that fights Iron Man and War Machine.
As for War Machine, Tony Stark’s best friend Lt. Colonel James Rhodes (played by Don Cheadle a character originally played by Terrence Howard in the first Iron Man movie) took Stark’s Mark II armor for a reason (you need to watch the movie for details) and pass it to the military which is then modified by Tony Stark’s rival weapon manufacturer Justin Hammer.
Anyway, to keep it short, Tony Stark with the “help” of his father and not forgetting his computer J.A.R.V.I.S. managed to create a new element to cure himself and defeat the villain, other robots and become a hero.
Summary
Overall the movie was OK but not as what I expected. I like the ultra portable but not so realistic Iron Man suite that transformed from a briefcase to a suite. There’s too much of thing that’s going on or to understand in such a short time.
Out of 5 stars, I will give 3 stars.
Percy Jackson & The Lightning Thief!
Mar 17th
Watch the movie last Wednesday night with my brothers. Was wanting to watch before the movie started in cinemas and it was not a disappointing experience. It was worth it. The show started at 11pm but we came a bit late. So it is already started a bit.
Anyway, the movie is about a boy named Percy Jackson (who is a demi-god) who was accused to steal the “Lightning Bolt” of Zeus. At first he didn’t know that he is a demi-god and some of the people around him knows about his origin. His father is Poseidon (the god of the sea) and he is forbidden to see his son.
If you’re familiar with the Greek myth and legends than you can relate to the story easily. You can see hydra, centaur and minotaur. Because these people thought that he is the one who stole the “Lightning Bolt” so he need to be protected as the other creatures try to get the “Lightning Bolt” from him. So his protector and mother send him to a camp for demi-god and alike for his safety.
His mother was captured when they’re on their way to the camp by Hades and he make a bargain which if he give him the “Lightning Bolt” he will get back his mother. So the journey to the underworld started with the help of his protector and a friend they make a quest to the underworld. I think there will be more of Percy Jackson coming in the future.
Summary
It is a great movie to watch with all family members. The cast are great. Not too serious, full with action and comedy.
I will give 4.5 out of 5 stars for this movie. Very entertaining.
Adnan Sempit…
Jan 21st
Hmmm… Adnan Sempit….
Watch it yesterday night. I rarely watch Malay movies but this time I feel like I want to watch it because it looks funny in the trailers (or should I call it advertisement?). Just watching the trailer is already funny enough. Told my wife that I want to watch and she is a little surprise.
Anyway, my wife “belanja” me for that movie, so no harms. hehehe… I can’t really give a full review on this movie as it will spoil all the funny parts of the movie (I think I don’t do much of a full review in any of my post).
To summarize it, the movie is about a person named Adnan Sempit (a despatch)… he is called Adnan Sempit (tight/narrow) because of everything in his life is ‘tight’. Shirt, pants and especially money, etc. The actual storyline is about his love affair with a rich girl (his boss) and you can also see his life as a motorcyclist or maybe some people called “rempit” (he is not actually a “rempit” in the movie).
The storyline is predictable but the humor part was funny… especially when Shaheizy Sam (Adnan Sempit) speak with his broken English… a bit of new things, here and there… The cast are great. They know their roles and character very well (in a funny way). My wife told me that it seems like the continuation of the previous Remp-It. I didn’t watch that, so I wouldn’t know.
I think that is all I can say about this movie. Nothing much to review on.
Just go and watch it. Support our local film industry (hmmm… I don’t do much help in that, is it?).
Anyway, I’ll give 3.5 star out of 5 for this movie.
*belanja = treat; *rempit = some sort of road bully (I think); *sempit = tight/narrow
