Kes (1969)
Still speak the accent
I love this film cause it show cases a lot of what was happening to the working class northern people, the film shows the true grit of which Barnsley still holds. I've seen a lot of the American reviewers and even the southern British reviews and a lot of them have an hard time understanding the accent i don't see why its quite easy to follow. then again it might be easier for me cause i was born and bred in Barnsley and I've lived their all my life. also some people say that accent is dying, well let me assure you that it isn't most people in Barnsley still talk in that same accent, always have done always will do. the accent is one of the proudest things us Barnsley lads (and lasses) have.
overall its a brill film that shows Americans what life up north Briton was like at that time.
Hope my review does not offend any one
Batman Begins (2005)
What batman should have bin
This movie in my eyes is what batman was intended to be. it keeps the gritty sense that batman year one had and gives you the best Gordon ever represented on the big screen along with the best batman. the thing that makes this movie stand out is its attempt of making the movie more realistic, i say more because batman begins some times ignores the laws of physics but its forgivable. they've made the movie as realistic as they could without destroying the character. the villains also feel more feasible rather than the silly look of the 90's villains. batman seems actually scary (given that i thought bat man was pretty gritty and scary in the Tim Burton's series and Batman forever but batman and robin was unforgivable) screaming at his foes and implying stealth and fear rather than using the judo chop style fighting he used in the 90's.
My summary is this is what batman was intended to be.
AVPR: Aliens vs Predator - Requiem (2007)
Benefit of the doubt it was better then the last one
I watched avp 2 other night and to be honest with ya it was pretty good I know I'm probably going to get a message from some sad bloke for saying that but honestly it isn't that bad and like some one else commented it is like loony tunes meets avp a bit and the acting isn't going to win it an award neither is the storyline but if your like me and you just went to see this movie with your friends to have a good lath and watch a fast paced action movie with the predator owning every one then you'll love it..... and for the people who have a very high standard in movies its still a good lath you could practically butcher the movie with chuckles and heavy criticism. and as far as the story's concerned lets give it the benefit of the doubt its better then the last one... the story doesn't try to be award winning nor does it try (and fail as far as the last movie went)to add extra depth with a compelling story.
in short if you came for an all out bash of mindless action then you'll love it but if your looking for predator one or alien go to your local blockbuster courser your not finding it here I'm afraid.
Reservoir Dogs (2006)
Probably one of the best movie to video games going
People gave this game a bad review that it doesn't deserve. I mean sure its not the best game in the world but it doesn't try to be. The game just fulls in the holes that the movie didn't. But this probably one of the best movie to video game ever. Most movies to video games usually change the plot of the movie to fit in a couple more guards to fight or add a new boss into the game. This game doesn't change a thing. It keeps the plot were it is and just lets you play the things that you didn't see in the movie because it was off screen. Now they are some problems like only Madison being their the game-play alittle off and short game-play. No games are perfect but this at least stays true to the plot and is the only action game i know were you can complete the game without killing any one or firing a bullet
Summary: Probably one of the best movie to video games going 7/10
Mean Machine (2001)
Now thats how you make a remake
Mean Machine is a remake that keeps at least some sense of originality by sending the movie to America's older Cousine (UK) and switching the sport from American football to the original football give the movie a twist rather than a straight sh*te remake (the longest yard 2005). The good of this movie is that Vinnie Jones actually looks the part rather than Adam Saddler who doesn't look owt like a AF player. One thing to add is that rugby and American football is all about fouling and ramming normal football isn't so to get a voilent movie out of football takes alittle imagination rather than AF
note that not only is it funny, dark ,violent and dramatic it as the Monk (jason statham) a true phycopath that ''hate Hannibal the cannibal'' who's not only scary but funny and believable rather than the one in the remake of the longest yard who really just looks like a dopey inbred played by a wrestler ( who can't act)
over all I rate this movie 10/10 witch is overrated but i want to give this movie some credit....A remake of an American classic turns into a British classic
Fainaru fantajî sebun adobento chirudoren (2005)
waited 9 years for this movie and this is what i get
I give this movie a 4 cause I'm a die hard fan of the video game series. the graphics and animation are excellent and its nice to see the whole gang in CG form Sephiroth's still cool
now the reasons it only got a 4 well the characters feel like planks of wood with some of the worst voice acting I've ever seen(I've watched epic movie)
the movie just seems cloud orientated so much so that it make even the fans embarrassed with cloud this and cloud that. clouds mentioned so much that it make you not want to see him in this movie
the villains have the award for the worst villains ever (i was more scared by the wicked witch of the west)
all the other characters in this movie are simply put in the movie for a nod to the fans and doesn't take it further then that
wtf's with the chilly chally???
summary: waited 9 years for this movie and this is what i get a large pointless and boring cut scene i beg the head of square cenix to shoot the man responsible for this burn every copy of the movie and any one involved in it and create a new movie from the ashes's (it would be nice to make the movie in live action and based on the original game)
Resistance: Fall of Man (2006)
Good Graphics Good Gameplay but very racist
The Game RFM is brilliant in graphics and gameplay. the ps3's gears of war...but the game is very racist and insulting to any English man like myself. Monsterouse outbreak spreads round the world gets to Engalnd we can't handle it so Americans save the day.....what aload of bias,racist sh*te now my fellow American cousins reading this you have to understand my concern now if resistance fall of man was set in the US and England came to save the day im sure they would be many complaining (including me i think its bias for both country's both way round) . now it would have been nice if the story writers would have been more considerate and had it like all the world ad been taken over and the US,UK and the USSR joined forces to eradicate and had you fighting in different country's it wouldn't be as insulting to any one would it
Summary: now you can either agree with me (i doubt it) or disagree but at least give it abit of thought before you agree or disagree I've made my review and i stick with it.... Good Graphic Good Gamplay just racist maybe without intent but it still is racist
The Longest Yard (2005)
The Monk seemed more phycotic....
I Watched this movie Couple Days Ago and to be honest it was'nt that good. To me it was overrated and overcast. The music however was greatly placed.
Now i do give it a 4 to the fact that it was funny the acting was okay (considering they were wrestler's and Adam saddler)and music was top notch but the reason i ''only'' give it a 4 is that its extremely over-casted. the film just seemed to heavily rely on big name stars like rappers and wrestlers (bit bias but i don't think wrestlers can act)rather than any decent actors. And lets face facts Adam saddler as an American football player are you nuts, you have seen the size of this guy right. To be honest I thought a lot of things in this movie were done a lot better in mean machine like the racist attack in the library wasn't as effective as the one in the corridor in mean machine or the basket ball match wasn't as cool or funny as the boxing match on mean machine and last but not least the monk seemed more of a bad-ass phyco than that Carlie wrestler (who to me just seemed dopey not phycotic).
summary: it's alright the first time but after the jokes are gone its quite sh*te so rent it but don't waste five quid on it i did and i regretted it since....the worst movie I've seen Chris rock (shame i think rock's funny and can act) in so 4/10and I'm generous at that
Epic Movie (2007)
bury the movie,the actors and the writers
I'm lost for words really on what to put on this movie......
Well for starters it's just plain awful the dialect, the script, the plot in fact the movie it self is bad. how awful it is can't be explained in words. but to give you some idea, its like getting getting your testicle's tied to two trains going opposite directions does that help??. the whole bad think in this move is that it does'nt even try any-think that would be remotely funny like having wolverine as a jock was just embarrassing if Hugh Jackman was dead (knock on wood) he would have been rolling in his grave. but on the good side at least Ed Wood can smile now that some one made a worse movie than he did
to sum it up bury every copy of the movie all the actors that stared in it all the writers that writ in it and the persons that funded it 0/10
