Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix

What I loved most: When Harry fights off Dementors, Snape answering question from Umbridge regarding why he did not get

What I really hated: Storyline cut too much, especially important ones such as Lucis Malfoy sent to wizard prison & Ron &

As we often know, movie producers trend to cut here & there on the movies that based on books. Yet, we as audiences did not expect them to cut so much!!!! It did very grave injustice to the movie!!! The acting is plain average, so does the direction. The visuals, however is great but overall, average. In short, of all Harry Potter series movies, this movie is the worst. A movie that is to watch when you are free.

Die Hard 4.0

What I loved most: The actions & stunts

It has been quite long after the Die Hard 3 was shown in the cinemas. Die Hard 4.0, this time round, talks about virtual terror. As ususal, Bruce still the lead man. At 50, he still seldoms uses stuntman, & that 's cool. The story goes saying the bad guy who used to be of CIA agent, leaves CIA cos CIA ignores the threat of virtual terrorism via internet. To prove his theory, he finds 8 compter hackers to hack in to FBI, & says that it is to test the FBI security. Bruce is the guy who escorts one of the computer hackers to FBI for questioning when FBI security is breached & he has to use this hacker's skills, who by chance loves his daughter. The acting, by Bruce is still rated A+ & the cast 's overall acting is A-. Directions & visuals are great for it is very action packed. A great movie to watch.

300

What I loved most: The Spartan King asking his men who they were

300 is a movie that must watch!!! The story begins with why Sparta is a miltary country. The story is based of the historic deed of the 300 Spartans, led by King Leonidas who try to prevent the Persian army led by King Xerxes crossing Thermopylae path, a small narrow path that leads to Greece. King Leonidas, acted by Gerrad Butler, acted very well. I love the quote of Who are you by the Spartan King. This movie has a lot of action, & the violence is strong. M18 is the movie rated, personally I recommend this movie should like MINDEF shows the movies at camps cos, the moral story is patriotism. The visuals are great & the direction is supberb. An A rated movie!!

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End

What I loved most: The sinking of East India Company 's ship

What I really hated: The 10 year long wait between Elizabeth & William Turner

Be prepared to have your buttocks swell cos this movie is damn long! 3 hours & that is equivalent to a Harry Potter 's movie!!! The story revolves mainly on Barbossa & the captain of The Flying Dutchman, The lovebirds, William Turner & Elizabeth Swann & The Pirate lords' conference. Our favourite character, Jack Sparrow is more mature & that means less humour upon him. This loss, I find makes the movie less interesting for this is the main thing we, as a movie goers love him most because of this. There are a few scenes that are worth the watch though. Examples are the crabs pushing The Black Pearl into the sea, with Jack Sparrow chasing after it. Another one is the lovebirds fighting for their life & William Turner asks Elizabeth for hand of marriage at the same time; Elizabeth becomes a pirate lord, later leader of all pirates; the fight between The Black Pearl & The Flying Dutchman;the fight between the captain of The Flying Dutchman & Jack Sparrow & the death of the captain of The Flying Dutchman & lastly the bombardment of East India Company 's ship. The acting by the cast is not bad. Like Geoffrey Rush best. A bit sad though for Chow Yun Fat for his role is just a minor role. His bald hairstyle is not horrible, like some of the people said. I find Bloom 's acting getting better per Pirates' movie & so does Katherine. The direction, I think is still quite good, especially on the fighting scenes & the request for marriage by William Turner. The visuals I loved best is the waterfall which is the pathway to the world 's end. Overall, this movie is worth to watch if you are a die-hard fan cos you need to understand the two other series then can understand this movie.

Spider-Man 3

What I loved most: The friendship between Goblin Jr & Spiderman

What I really hated: The outer-space liquid substance that makes Venom

Spiderman 3 finally arrived after a long wait! The movie, compared to the last 2 series, has more human feelings, which I feel very important. This importance is very significant cos it helps us, as an audience feel that Spiderman, is like all of us, has love & sorrow. The spiderman, acted by Tobey gets better & better on each Spiderman movie. I also find, Goblin Junoir acted by James Franco almost steal the show due to the new stuff used by Goblin. Katherine Dunst, who acted as Mary Jane is also getting better & better. In this movie, she is jealous of Spiderman giving a kissing stunt in public & had a lousy acting career on broadway stage. Sandman, acted by Thomas Haden Church is a very powerful & yet a villian who is also pitiful. These can be seen from the movie when Sandman destroys the police cars & his jailbreak to see his daughter. Venom, acted by Topher Grace, is a much less powerful villian. Due to the hatred towards Parker, he becomes Venom by accident after Spiderman throws away the outer-space substance at the church. Directed by Sam Raimi, I find him did very well in the feelings of each individual cast, especially Spiderman with Goblin Junior & Spiderman with Sandman. The storyline I find, is all usual. Yet, the direction & the acting makes the story comes very much alive. The direction, makes me feel that all superheroes has a human side of life too. It also teaches us when to live & forgive. The visuals & the stunts are very good, especially Mary Jane hanging in the taxi. In all, I could say the movie is worth to watch.
