REVIEW

The X-men film in the year 2000 really kickstarted the Superhero genre at the cinema for a new generation. Since this start there’s been a further three X-Men films, and two solo Wolverine ventures, and they have been good but not at the same level of other Superhero films out there. I’m glad to report that this film is easily up there with all the best efforts to come out of the genre.

The film starts in the best possible way, with some thrilling action that actually makes you fear for the lives of the X-Men involved. This is a future that all the previous films have alluded to, where the mutants are outlawed and hunted down by Sentinels. These Sentinels are the real deal and strike fear into all those hunted, including Magneto and Charles Xavier. Its from this opening act that we learn that Mystique went rogue back in the seventies, after the death of her Mutant friends, and killed Dr Bolivar Trask in revenge. This had a knock on effect as after she was caught, her DNA was investigated and went into the genetics of the Sentinels. This all means that they need Wolverine (who else really) to send his conscience back to his younger self (well he doesn’t age, but you know what i mean) to stop this event from occurring and changing all their futures. Now this is a start to an X-Men film that I’ve been looking for with real tension, action and humor.

This is Hugh Jackman’s seventh time as the Wolverine and is the center piece to this assemble. He is his usual mix of anger and sarcasm, but thankfully he doesn’t spend anytime at all moping around about Jean Gray, as he is too busy navigating through all the characters. As you can guess with two timelines there’s alot of characters needing screen time and Singer does well with balancing the mix. Sure some are on screen just to team their super skills with fellow mutants to form a great battle front against the Sentinels, the others are the main players that you expect to see fronting this film and the timeline plot ensures we get the big faces from the new films and old films. With a cast of this level you already know they will do a great job, but James McAvoy brings a troubled self being to his younger version of Charles Xavier.

A new addition that warrants a shout out is a certain guy called Quicksliver. He gets a short but effective amount of time to ensure that he stays in our memories, as Marvel have their own version coming out in Avengers 2 next summer. One scene sees him use his supersonic speed to divert bullets whizzing towards the Mutants, whilst wearing a special headset to listen to music and have a good old time.

As stated before, the return of Singer brings about some of the best action set pieces seen in the X-men universe. All the action is fast paced and well coordinated as many work together with their skills to try to take the Sentinels down. For example we have a mutant called Blink, that can open portholes that the other X-men can use to their fighting advantage when facing the giant mechanical monsters.

So on leaving whats not to like about this film .. Well we seem to get the usual template of Magneto not wanting to play nice with the other guys, but that’s about it.

This is in all effectiveness a reboot of the series as events in this film ensure key points from the third film are now forgotten about. The series for me now has some fresh legs to run with and maybe take this impetus onto future films. Lets cross our fingers and hope they will finally figure out a good solo venture for Wolverine.

VERDICT 

This is how all X-men movies should be with the right balance of action and a story line which will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Film Review – Godzilla (2014)

Director – Gareth Edwards
Starring –   Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, Bryan Cranston, Ken Watanabe, Sally Hawkins, Juliette Binoche, David Strathairn
Synopsis -The world’s most famous monster is pitted against malevolent creatures who, bolstered by humanity’s scientific arrogance, threaten our very existence. (provided by IMDB.com)
(there will be spoilers, I will try not to give plot points out though)

REVIEW

Around forty minutes into Godzilla I thought to myself “This isn’t how I thought this was going to be”. Not that its got an outrageous twist on things but for a blockbuster it isn’t all shiny and full of unnecessary over the top action. Nope, this is the Christopher Nolan school of Blockbusters where the pallet is bleak and the director does attempt to put together a story that makes the audience think. Does it all work though?

th (2)The film opens with a great title credit sequence that audiences should pay attention to. Its full of dated shots of nuclear tests, illustrations and a brief shot of a giant beast. It’s normally though at this point that Blockbusters usually take things up to speed to ensure the roller coaster ride but its at this point the director slows it down. The first act is here to set up the story points of family tragedy, confusion and a great amount of conspiracy theory. I really enjoyed this set up because of one factor, Bryan Cranston. If you need an actor to really carry the audience though these moments then there’s no better choice than him. With every scene you feel his pain, angush, and anger, basically, he forces you to take notice during the slow build up of the film.

The first nice moment for me was at the end of the first act when a pod, that the government are monitoring, gives birth. Its not a Godzilla though, but to a winged creature called a M.U.T.O. This is given a great introduction as the MUTO proves very hard to kill but also very destructive as we learn what force comes with these creatures.

Its after this opening act that the story becomes a little less structured and a tad messy. The story follows Lieutenant Ford Brody (Arron-Taylor Johnson) as he looks to leave Japan to get back to his young family in San Francisco, Via helping out with the Navy. At this point he just seems to go from scene to scene with no real plan or urgency. With his Navy aspect we see many strange attempts for them to kill the MUTOs (yes there is more than one) that don’t really add up to a good strategic sense. In one example they carry a radioactive bomb, that is supposed to be used to kill the creature (yet it feeds radioactive material) past a site where the creature is causing havoc. With ideas like this it requires a hero to stand up and in this film, its actually Godzilla.

th (1)Godzilla is almost the side line attraction in the film baring his name. He isn’t here to smash up cities or nest eggs, nope he is here to restore natural balance to our planet and become top dog again. The special effects on Godzilla are magnificent, with great attention to detail on his texture, size and his face. Whenever he is on the screen the film gets impressive. He has a number of brawls with the MUTOs to show he is top of the food chain, and I loved it. There’s a couple of neat tricks he has managed to pick up, like becoming a flame thrower, and they kept me on the edge of my seat. Lets face it you go to a movie called GODZILLA to see him destroy things, and I was more than happy with the level of destruction.

Considering this is only his second film on the big screen the Director, Gareth Edwards, shows alot of promise to continue to grow. His promise of story over action was a noble attempt but could have done with a little loosening of the seriousness. The camerawork all seemed to be focused on improving the story and that’s the level all good directors should be working at.

One focus he should look at though is characters because all seemed a little stereotypical and lacking certain personality.  Elizabeth Olsen was very underused as Fords wife Elle. Limited to making panicked calls and watching television, although she did make the baffling decision to put her child on a bus departing the danger zone, and waiting for her husband.

Overall I really did enjoy this film and for once doesn’t seem like it was made for a franchise. The grudge matches were something great to be experienced on the big screen, as was the great special effects. This is a director thats trying to impose his own vision on films and, with only two to his name, can expect to grow with each film

VERDICT 

A very good attempt at keeping the B-Movie ideals and putting them into a blockbuster. It doesn’t all work perfectly but still a very good Godzilla movie.

Film Review – Bad Neighbours (2014)

Director – Nicholas Stoller
Starring –  Seth Rogen, Zac Efron, Dave Franco, Rose Byrne, Ike Barinholtz
Synopsis – A couple with a newborn baby face unexpected difficulties after they are forced to live next to a fraternity house. (provided by IMDB.com)
(there could be spoilers)

REVIEW

I will tell you this, when a comedy from the Judd Apatow school of talent comes to the big screen, you can count on me to be there on opening day. I’m around the same age of the main guys involved in these movies and generally relate to me, plus they have a good success rate. Does Bad Neighbours continue the trend of successful comedies from the Apatow talent pool?

I will tell you now that Bad Neighbours is very funny, to the point that I laughed out loudly on a few occasions and didn’t care who heard it. Luckily for me I wasn’t the only one in the screen with these feelings as the whole audience laughed along to the point I was worried I was missing jokes. There are alot of jokes on screen, with an equal success rate of finding a laugh. One of the best running gags involve missing airbags that are used to continually torture Seth Rogens character. Most the gags may run too fowl for some people, IE when a child chews on a condom, but for me its harmless good fun. The only negative about the laughter is that the whole film seems to be made up of funny scenes, without a main coherent plan of action or character to bring it together.

Talking of the cast, its great to see Rose Byrne have more of a role than the quiet doting housewife. In recent years she’s really showed her skills when it comes to comedy and in this one she proves she’s just as funny as the fellas. With Seth Rogen, he now careers from irresponsible man child to now married with children roles but with Byrne and Rogen they have a strong center couple, both willing to take it as far as needed for laughs.

The Director definitely knows how to make an audience laugh but unfortunately needed to draw out the character more if he wanted to create an instant classic. It just goes from one funny scene to the next, without giving you any character insight that makes you root for them in any way. They just seem to be the usual married couple that want the spark back and the frat boys that just love to party hard. When they did try to give Efron’s Teddy a bit of depth, it resulted in an awkward Careers fair scene that didn’t sit right.

All in all though, if you go to see this film then I can tell you shall laugh and enjoy it. The filmmakers aimed for that level and reached it. Its just not going to have that repeat value that alot of other comedies have.

VERDICT 

A good fun movie that is the perfect Friday night film!

Film Review – The Other Woman (2014)

Director – Nick Cassavetes
Starring –  Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann, Kate Upton
Synopsis – After discovering her boyfriend is married, Carly soon meets the wife he’s been cheating on. And when yet another affair is discovered, all three women team up to plot mutual revenge on the three-timing SOB. (provided by IMDB.com)
(there could be spoilers)

REVIEW  

The Other Woman had a good $27 million opening weekend in the states and it’s obviously because ladies still want a group night out at the cinema. Forget the target audience though as I like a good romantic comedy myself, but is this worth a watch?

I must say from the off that this film is not up there with “Bridesmaids”, truthfully its not even on a par with “The Ugly Truth”. I found it to be a messy mix up between a weird buddy movie and weak revenge film, without any real humor. Its spends a good half of the movie with weird bonding scenes between all the jilted women, that usual involve them crying into their wine and not actually looking any deeper into what brought all this cheating about. Then the revenge part is made up of great revenge treats like laxatives in food and hair remover in shampoo, I don’t know if the punishment is on the character or the audience.

The only shining light for me was Leslie Mann, always willing to go a little further in roles to make sure there’s an emotional side or bit of humor to her characters. She doesn’t have alot of good dialogue or work in this film but she did pull me through the movie. Diaz seems to have another role of being a tough single independent lady that can’t find a man that can excite her enough to settle down. Upton is only really there for the boobs, its a shame she doesn’t get a chance to show her acting skills.

VERDICT 

A disappointing conclusion to a decent idea. Less girl power and more girl sleepover.

Film Review – Locke (2014)

Director – Steven Knight
Starring –  Tom Hardy

Synopsis – Ivan Locke, a dedicated family man and successful construction manager, receives a phone call on the eve of the biggest challenge of his career that sets in motion a series of events that threaten his careful cultivated existence. (provided by IMDB.com)

(there could be spoilers)

REVIEW 

So far this year there hasn’t been alot of room on the cinema screens for low budget films, until now. We now have a film that comprises of only one actor on screen, and even with that he’s stuck in a car for the length of the film. This film is Locke.

Locke is the work of successful writer Steven Knight and it’s his second as Director after last years “Hummingbird”. So how do you keep an audience seated during this type of film? Well with some good writing of course! Locke is all about one man’s resolve to do what he thinks is best in a terrible situation, for that he has only himself to blame. I wouldn’t say that the film is edge of your seat thrilling, but did keep me interested enough to keep me there till the end.

Apart from a sometimes weird Welsh Accent, Tom Hardy does a good job in his portrayal of Locke. I must say its not the powerful and intense performance that I was expecting, but a good show of a man with a determination and control to see him through a bad situation. Hardy’s performance sees Locke rarely raise his voice, even when conversations with those closest to him go bad. As a character he just seems to have accepted the situation and wants everyone else to get to through it. This doesn’t generate the tour de force performance I expected but its a good enough shot.

With Steven Knight the director he shoots the film nicely, but lets face it, Its a film about a man in a car. We see a lot of car reflections, and the camera moves around the car abit, but in truth there isn’t much to be shown.

So overall the film was good but its a one time view for me. Some parts of the film didn’t work with Locke using the drivers mirror to look at the back seat to have conversations with his dead father. Yes these gave an aspect to why Locke was so determined to do the right thing, but mostly it felt weird and left the rest of the audience in my screen laughing.

VERDICT 

It could be a film that works on stage as visually there isn’t going on. I’m glad i had seen it but wouldn’t need a second watch.

Film Review – The Amazing Spiderman 2 (2014)

Director – Marc Webb
Starring –  Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Jamie Foxx, Dane Dehaan, Paul Giamatti, Sally Field.
Synopsis – Peter Parker runs the gauntlet as the mysterious company Oscorp sends up a slew of supervillains against him, impacting on his life. (provided by IMDB.com)
(there could be spoilers)

REVIEW 

Sony rebooted the Spiderman series a couple of years ago with “The Amazing Spiderman” and have plans to bring a Spidey related film to the big screen every year. After a good opening film to reboot the franchise, can they produce another good film to give the franchise some legs?…. Well it’s a yes and no from me.

So the first film “The Amazing Spiderman” was very familiar to the audience, considering the previous Sam Rami Franchise was only 10 years ago then its not surprising. The filmmakers are trying to bring in different aspects to their Spidey films but overall it does feel slightly familiar, and a little rushed to open up the Spiderman Universe. That’s not to say its not entertaining, as I was entertained, but if you are a comic book fan of Spidey then you possibly won’t be happy.

thOk I want to get something out the way, I like Andrew Garfield as Spiderman. For me he plays Spiderman with the right level of sarcasm and cockyness needed, and Peter Parker with the right amount of pain and abandonment that he would be feeling. Again the main focus in the film is his relationship with Gwen Stacey and despite the ending of the last film, they seem to have made it to the relationship stage. The two, Stone and Garfield, have a great chemistry so any scene with the couple usually hit the funny or tragic mark. On the topic of relationships this film introduces Dane Dehaan as Harry Osbourne, Parkers supposedly best friend from his youth. This is one relationship that suffers from the first franchise as I’m sure the filmmakers didn’t want to go over old ground again, but leaves this friendship as rushed and empty. In this film Harry was sent away eight years before and on returning, after his fathers death, they awkwardly reconnect. In their conversations and brief scenes there doesn’t appear to be any connection between them for them to muster up conversation, nevermind be friends. I’m guessing through Harry Osborne is there for one thing only, to be the Green Goblin and push the series into the next “phase”.

electro-the-amazing-spider-man-2-6All Spiderman villians are straight forward, with names such as Rhino, Vulture, Sandman, and Electro. On this occasion we get Electro, a man that runs via electricity and can manipulate it for his advantage. Jamie Foxx is fun in the role of Max, an outcast of society and sometime Spiderman stalker, and as Electro he is good entertainment also. Its a shame though that he doesn’t get more screentime as Electro because as the villian it’s all pretty straight forward. As stated above there is a second villian, more of a cameo to be honest, of the Green Goblin. In this version the Goblin comes from a mixing of a genetic gene with Spidermans blood, creating a more natural looking Goblin. In truth he is there to service future installments and to tick off a major story point in this film (if you have read the comics then you know the scene). Rhino is, well a strange looking mechanical device and again here to service future installments. My opinion to Sony would be, if you can’t do one villain really well then don’t try 2 or 3.

Marc Webb is an enjoyable director when it comes to relationships or humor on screen (see 500 days of summer) and is now growing when it comes to action. He doesn’t have a particular style or flair like Rami did but the action is still enjoyable. I found the actual camerawork and movement of action some of the best of any film so far.

Overall I found it enjoyable as a film but not really a great Spiderman installment. My feelings are that they, like DC, want to get to the point where they can create a universe for them to make various films to boost the coffers. I’m not sure how a Sinister 6 movie would work, but during a scene in this movie they basically show all types of secret projects ready for the villains.

VERDICT 

Entertaining watch with some better Spidey action, they just need to move on now and ground it with all round greatness.

Film Review – The Raid 2 (2014)

Director – Gareth Evans
Starring –  Iko Uwais, Yayan Ruhian, Arifin Putra
Synopsis – Only a short time after the first raid, Rama goes undercover with the thugs of Jakarta and plans to bring down the syndicate and uncover the corruption within his police force. (provided by IMDB.com)
(there could be spoilers)

REVIEW 

A few years ago I caught a small foreign film on the big screen, called “The Raid”, a film that left me feeling as mentally drained as most the villians on the screen. Its always good to find a little film like this that, unexpectatley, ticks all the boxes required on the cinema visit. With this sequel though, my expectation levels are high so can the magic be repeated …. with a hammer to the face YES.

So the first film was one that perfectly knew what the audience required, we wanted a decent story with added bonus of some really good kick ass action, and we got it. As is the case with most sequels, the director sees it as a chance to show us that as a filmmaker he has more in his locker. This means that there’s a storyline of Rama going uncover to infultrate a gang that has corrupt police officials and politicians in their pockets. With this storyline it makes the sequel less intense and action packed as the original, and easily 30 minutes too long. In the whole film the amount of detective work that we see Rama exhibit amounts to one scene of hiding in the shadows, listening to a wire-tap, whilst the rest of the story amounts to alot of different fractions trying to cross each other. This is a negative that you won’t have heard in many of my reviews, as for once I was here for action and violence, and only required a good storyline to service that violence.

So the action doesn’t come onto the screen as much as the original but when it does, WOW! You know in the normal action films where Bruce Willis hits someone, they go down like a sack of potatoes and in your gut you think why does it look so easy. Well in this you will have no questions as you feel every punch, kick and baseball bat. The Director has a great eye for action so that when a scene goes down that path, its a seat gripping experience. We get mass brawls, fast flowing martial arts and villians that fight with weapons such as a baseball bat or two hammers. A great scene sees Rama get caught up in a mass fight, in the rain sodden clay-pit of the prison yard, and you really need to catch your breath to take it all in. The director flows the camera between the action as everyone, including the extras, in real looking violence time.

So Gareth Evans is definitely a director for great action and if Hollywood are to remake this then they need to be able to show the same level of action to make it work. This film here wasn’t as strong and intense as the original, but is still better than 90% of Hollywood action films.

VERDICT 

Over long but entertaining addition to the original film. I don’t know what part 3 will have involved but I will be there to see it

Film Review – Noah (2014)

Director – Darren Aronofsky
Starring –  Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly, Emma Watson, Anthony Hopkins, Ray Winstone, Logan Lerman,
Synopsis – A man is chosen by his world’s creator to undertake a momentous mission before an apocalyptic flood cleanses the world. (provided by IMDB.com)
(there could be spoilers)

REVIEW 

I would love to review every new film that’s released at the cinema, sadly this isn’t possible, although I think 100 a year is still good enough. Its usually easier to catch a blockbuster film but for some reason Noah never captured my fancy. This is strange as I always try to catch a Russell Crowe movie as he is one of my favourite actors, I even watched Broken City, but I thought i’d watch this further down the line on Blu Ray but was still struggling with my decision, so I sent this thought out into the twitter atmosphere, and got this response from Mr Crowe. So off I went to see Noah, well how can I not watch it with an high endorsment from the main man himself.  A few minutes into the film I wished I had listened to my own gut instinct. As it was directed by Darren Arronosky, it was always going to be more of a thinking persons blockbuster but I just found it all very messy and dull. There was little bits of filmmaking that bordered on interesting, like some time lapse footage showing the growing of rivers but for me it didn’t get out if first gear. The film run time is very long and I felt every minute of it. I’m sure everyone is aware of the story of Noah, so i’m just not sure from a filmmaking point of view (business view is very different) that it was a story that needed to be told on the big screen. Russell Crowe is always watchable to me and is probably the most interesting thing on screen, with his steely determination to build an ark. The issue is though that with a strong central lead and determination of character, not much is left for other characters to interact with him in any memorable way. I’d rather just leave it this way and say that this film wasn’t for me, although you can judge a film by the amount of toilet breaks and phone checking the audience does, and in my screen there was always a constant flow of traffic.

VERDICT 

I think I have said enough regarding this film, I will forever know it as the film that Russell lied to me about.

Film Review – Divergent (2014)

Director – Neil Burger
Starring –   Shailene Woodley, Theo James, Kate Winslet, Ashley Judd, Jai Courtney, Zoe Kravitz.

(there could be spoilers)

REVIEW 

With Potter long gone, Twilight a distant memory and The Hunger Games now approaching the final stretch, we have another book attempting to get past the first box office hurdle and attempt to start a franchise. Its not always a given that a successful teen novel will be a success, “Mortal Instrumentals” for example, but when they do they normally launch careers and earn money. Is Divergent good enough to start a money spinning franchise? Well two more films have been given the green light so you’d hope so.

In the chance that you are reading the review without first seeing the film, i think I should explain the premise and hope it makes sense. The film is set in the future and it opens on the city of Chicago, now fenced off and showing battle scars after a war some years before. Inside the city the survivors of this war are now split into factions, based on their each persons disposition. So we have Abnegation (selfless); Amity (peaceful), Candor (honest), Dauntless (brave), and Erudite (intelligent). Each year all 16 year olds are given an aptitude test to determine which fraction they should join, although they still seem to have the overall choice. It’s at this point we find out Beatrice is Divergent, meaning she shows qualities for all fractions, this also puts her life at risk.

If like me you’ve have watched the films listed at the start of the review, then you will see Divergent as familiar. Of course the influence is going to be the Hunger Games crowd and there’s alot of similarities between them with segregated cities, fight for governing powers, sorting ceremonies and a strong female lead. All this is no accident because Hollywood normally sees a movie make money and others try to replicate it.

The leading lady in this film is Shailene Woodley and along with the rest of the cast, they are the main positive to come from this film. Its easy to see why big things are predicted for Shailene as she plays Tris in an very understated but confident way as she tries to navigate through her new world shes now in. You can see the confidence grow in her more the film goes on, although to me she doesn’t come across as a natural athlete. The rest of the cast are a decent watch, with the love interest Theo James just the right amount of moody to get the teenage girls in the audience interested and just enough personality to keep me there. It’s strange at first to see Kate Winslet on screen in this kind of film, normally she’s in drama’s fighting for oscar recognitution, so when she shows up my mind screams out that shes got to be a villian.

The main problem with the film though is that it needs to go through nearly two thirds of the film setting the scenes and origins, so that by the time anything happens in the final act its all rushed along towards the final conclusion. The first two thirds take us through many long scenes of challenges, love interests and not much else, so when some actual action happens with some scenes of substance, they are rushed along to get to the end.

Overall its a decent start but with the next films they should look to make their own stamp on their films, instead of capturing an audience through familiarity.

VERDICT 

A decent start that seems to have had a regular check list for this type of film, hopefully the boxes are now ticked and we can move on.
