Run All Night

 

True to its title. Action packed movie by no less than Liam Neeson. Maganda ung car chase scene and ung big apartment building nung nag hahabulan na.... the ending was dramatic just one head shot from the sniper rifle.

 

i agree! this was a very good movie for me.

REVIEW: ANT-MAN

 

Rating: 9/10

 

Plot: Scott Lang (Rudd), is a newly released prisoner previously convicted on a famous heist was recruited by Dr. Hank Pym (Douglas) to steal 2 things; an electric device on the Avengers Mansion and the Yellow jacket suit. Lang was hesitant at first but eventually agreed to redeem himself and also to provide for her only daughter in which he failed to do so during his robbery days. She was trained by Pym;s daughter - Hope (Lily) on using hand to hand combat and controlling an army of ants. His failure to steal the suit inside Cross Technologies lead him to battle with Darren Cross (Pym's protege and former business partner) donning the Yellow Jacket costume eventually beating the latter and saving the world (and pym's relationship with hope).

 

Highs:

> First Marvel movie that is very child friendly and very funny

> You almost forgot its a superhero movie, very entertaining and again - hilarious

> Lots of avengers references, even a cameo by Falcon and the new Avengers Mansion

> No plot holes, brief background on Pym and Wasp is easily understandable.

> The ant man shrinking scenes are new to the eyes and very refreshing

> Very nice climax fight (with appearances by Thomas and Friends)

> His wits and cleverness makes up for his lack of gadgets/tricks

 

Lows:

> For loyal comic fans, its a very, very different interpretation/take of Hank Pym and Ant Man

> The only thing true to the comics is Hank Pym's ego

 

MEMORABLE SCENES:

> Antman's first time to shrink (its not like, honey i shrunk the kid moment - its way better)

> Falcon vs Antman

> Wasp Cameo (her face was not seen on any of her appearances, even in pictures)

> 2 End Credits Scenes/Hidden Endings

> Final Battle

> Howard Stark (Tony's father) cameo

 

Good thing they stay true to most of Edgar Wright's script and casting Rudd as Lang is perfect much like Tony Stark of RDJ.

All in all, the film is very refreshing take on marvel superheroes in the MCU, new and entertaining.

 

Go ahead and watch it guys!

REVIEW: MINIONS

 

Rating: 8/10

 

Plot: The minions, after losing their villain master consecutively, was left to wander and hide in ice land. Seeing his fellow minions lose hope and reason to live, Kevin (the taller one) decides to go out in the open to find them a new villain master to serve. Accompanied by 1 volunteer (Bob) and 1 innocent wanderer (Stuwart) they embark on a journey to the US until they were send to London by their supposed to be master Scarlet Overkill to steal Queen Elizabeth's crown. Unexpected turn of events made Scarlet hate the 3 minions and decides to k*ll them until they were saved by someone familiar to all of us.

 

Highs:

> With the 3 minions chosen to be unique with each other, its easy to remember every one of them by their appearances

> Very funny (as expected) and entertaining take on their history and personal interest's

> Each minion has its own unique personality that makes them so endearing and loveable

 

Lows:

> The fight scene vs Scarlet, I just don't expect it to be that way

 

EXTRAS:

> Cameos by the Yeti and the Beatles

 

All in all, the minions didn't disappoint. Although the film does not end with a promise of a sequel, I'm pretty sure we will see more of these cute little yellow fellows soon.

 

Bring your kids, its worth it!

Sana may subtitle pag nagsasalita na ang minions, banana lang naintindihan ko.

 

surprisingly, there are a lot of simple words that the viewers can understand on the movie.

otherwise, di na sila siguro cute kapag hindi na blabber ang main language nila.

[glut_func]

^bello! papagera dolatero de papaya...

[malthus]

I think Minions went full retard. Fell asleep in the middle of the movie... 😕

First of all, despite what critics say,

Fantastic Four is a great movie. Director

of "Chronicle" did a good job.

* Spoiler Alert *

The movie showed moviegoers "somewhat" a

history of the Fantastic Four. Like most

marvel movies, are not similar to the comics.

IIRC, the F4 gained their powers as they

flew through space by a spacecraft invented

by Reed Richards, by passing through a belt

of cosmic energy. In the movie; Ben, Reed,

Sue and Von Doom rode a matter transporter

to an unknown planet. Ben Grimm, born out

of poverty and raised in the streets, was

an excellent football player; in the movie,

he worked in his parents junk yard shop.

The Baxter bldg was a great setting on the

first part of the story which was good. Reed

met Sue and Victor while at Columbia Univ.

while in the movie, Sue and Von Doom was

working for a secret government agency and

Reed met them here for the first time. It's

hard to get Dr Dooms origin on film. Doom

was born in Latveria, son of a witch. Due

to his parents death he practiced both sorcery

and technology and became a ruler. It was

an experiment of Reed and Doom that made him

get a scar on his face and wear a mask. In

the movie, Doom "supposedly" got his powers

by travelling to another planet along with

the F4.

Looking forward to this movie...

 

I enjoyed the movie no doubt, maybe I just expected too much. Effects were amazing!

Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation

 

Its official, Tom Cruise is the greatest movie star of all time, and this movie proves why. How many superstars back in the 80s are still dominating the box office today? Sly is all washed up. The new terminator was a disappointment, but Tom? He is still at the top of his game. He has been raking in box office return for nearly 4 decades and it does not seem that he is gonna slow down anytime soon. I enjoyed the hell out of this movie. Before the main feature, they showed a preview on how they did that stunt on the plane. My Goodness! Tom Cruise really strapped himself at the side of the plane. It did set the mood for the main feature quite well. Every action scene that has Tom in it, you are pretty sure that the stunt was done real and its not some CGI bullshit.

 

In this Mission Impossible installment, super secret agent Ethan Hunt is out to prove the existence of "the syndicate", an organization of rogue secret agents. As the IMF becomes dissolved, Hunt once again becomes a fugitive chased by the CIA. He also has to reluctantly trust Llsa, another renegade British secret agent whose allegiance seems to be murky. To take down the syndicate Ethan will also need to enlist the help of his former IMF teammates Benjie, Luther, and Brandt. That is the basic plot.

 

I really enjoyed the action scenes in this movie. Finally an action movie where its more about the actor doing those dangerous stunts than all that superhero ridiculousness where you never feel the actor was in any real danger. Moreover, this movie brought many things we loved from each MI installment. It has the difficult vault heist of MI:1. The motorcycle chase of MI:2. The high altitude stunts of MI:3 and 4. And though Tom is not really kicking ass he was still fun to watch. My favorite scene would be the chase in morocco. Using a BMW, Tom Rams into a group of motorcycle thugs, swiping them off the alley like they were bowling pins. As if that wasn't badass enough, we get to see the coolest Bike scene in the freeway ever put on film. I was gripping the edge of my arm rest watching these sequences.

 

The supporting characters were also great in this one. Simon Pegg was a good comic relief. I love that they hired Jeremy Rener again to be part of the team. Its also nice to see Vhing Rhames as a part of Ethan's crew. However, unlike Ghost Protocol, this feels more like once again the Tom Cruise show rather than a team-effort movie. They only come together as a team nearing the end. And this is something that I really missed from the previous installment. Nonetheless, this movie was still enjoyable. It is as enjoyable as ghost protocol but it is not necessarily better over all as a movie. But on the other hand, it just goes to show that we have a good reason to keep watching out for whatever installment they will make again.

FF4 Di maganda

mas maganda yung nauna

di bagay kay Miles Teller

Dapat Earth 616

[Edmund Dantes]

ok ung rogue nation.

 

Yesss! Sulit na sulit bayad dito. Maaksyong pelikula talaga. Tama na kasi ang mga superhero movie at walang katapusang CGI na yan. Kahit yung bida nakaCGI din minsan. Kakasawa na. Maganda lang tignan pero iba pa din yung thrill na alam mong totoong stunt work yung pinapanood mo. Talagang mapapakapit ka sa upuan mo.

 

Kudos to Tom for being an awesome action star. Say what you want about this guy, but he is truly the greatest movie star of all time. He still knows how to thrill fans after nearly 4 decades of dominating the box office. Si Arnold tanda na para magterminator pa. Pero si Tom Cruise astig na astig pa din
