The Taking of Pelham 123 review.

August 23, 2009 By: Govvy Category: Films No Comments →

I rather enjoyed the film, the acting was good with a good cast. Lines were very well delivered and the trains did not run on time. At times it felt a little slow, other times you felt for the characters, but for some reason they didn’t make you feel claustrophobic down in those tunnels.

At one point of the film the police decided to do a crazy run trying to deliver the money on time. This seemed a stupid scene, but that was about it. And that was it, there was no twists or turns, no loose ends. Just a nice little small package with a typical ending.

2.5 out of 5.

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra review.

August 09, 2009 By: Govvy Category: Films No Comments →

Well this is a film of non-stop action and a bit too much all at once. I was surprised by the cast members know, a good cast in essence, some of the jokes were good. At times the CGI looked bad and many times I saw copies of other films.

Everything seemed to happen so fast I forgot what I was watching at some point, but going back, there are evil guys and good American guys. With a few French, English here and there.

The next thing I knew was that they took a long time on the streets of Paris in an effort doing their best to destroy the city. Next thing they were all under huge amounts of ice. Scenes seemed to be copied from Star Wars and all hell had broken loose.

Well I am glad that is over now! For me the best scene in the whole film was the first flashback of Snack Eye’s as a child. There we saw a very well choreographed fight scene between two foes who meet later in life. The few flashbacks certainly helped to explain a few things, but there wasn’t enough of them.

It still didn’t seem to explain how planet Earth evolved so quickly or why this is all suppose to happen.  And why the hell would anyone build an advance base under the sand in Egypt? That’s been done to death already, the base should of at least been in the US!

I don’t want to be too harsh, but after my head is spinning I am only going to give the film a score of.

2 out of 5.
