Hey I dont know why there is no separate section for movie reviews in entertainment, but I would love to read some good user as well as movie critic reviews, before I spent to watch some movie, therefore I am starting a movie review post in which I will write reviews of the film I have seen recently (both Hollywood flicks as well as Bollywood). I invite all the movie buffs who would like to share their views on movies. You can also write your reviews as well. Here we go ----- 1. Harry Potter & the order of phoenix ---- Rating = 2.7/5 Well i loved part 1 & 2 of harry potter series but after those two parts the harry potter series didn't impressed me much. The fifth installment isnt different either, but there is drastic changes in the physical appeareance as well as acting of the actors. Harry potter (Daniel Redcliffe) has turned into muscle bound dude and ron looks great with his long hair, what about harmoine....?? Naahhhh she looks like a thin and streched girl who's on a diet to become a top notch actress or the director didn't gave her much to eat, after all its harry's story. The animation effects are'nt good (only in the last few scenes the animation rushes a little fast), the film even just about of 2hrs 17 mins looks to be lengthy with repeated scenes of harry trying to teach magic.... to build the army of dumble dore to gain protection against " You know who sucks " . Why u should watch the movie ----- - You are a regular harry potter fan, and for the future versions of harry potter. - Daniel's acting is good, as well as his looks. - A new character --- Dolores Umbridge (Imelda Staunton) has done a great job (she's appointed by ministry of magic and replaces dumble dore for the post of school's head) - Not so complicated story this time. - Some light comedy moments (specially of Umbridge trying to impose restrictions in the school and not to forget Filch) So that's the end of our movie number 1. 2. Die Hard 4.0 ----- Rating 3.5/5 Well ... this is the most suitable movie for all the action buffs. This is absolutely "VFM --- Value For Money" movie. You park your vehicle..... you take your ticket...... you sit on your seat.... and bang !!!!!!! The action starts and ends just 2 minutes before you stand up to go out from the exit door. The action scenes are excellent and thrills everytime, you can't even blink your eyes frequently. The story line is good ---- A group of hackers hijack the whole computer software system of USA, leading to ultimate chaos, traffic lights go wild...... tunnels opened at both ends...... gas plant blowing up..... share market going down.... bank accounts being hijacked etc. The most significant thing about die hard series is --- John McClane (Bruce Willis), the character is a "never say die" guy and this aspect is portrayed effectively in this part (he even shoots himself to kill the villain). The villain this time is a sophesticated, talented, intellectual hacker who looks a gentle man (with a gorgeous and as* kicking japanese girl friend). There is one more character (remember the dumb looking guy from jeepers and creepers part 1 ??), who's a good hacker and accompanies john in his mission. John's daughter is also there. Why u should watch the movie ----- - John Mcclane (reminds me of Jack Sparrow kindaa character). - Action and animation effects (a whole bridge was constructed to shoot a particular scene, car was actually crashed in a plane). - Solid story concept. - Good direction. - Some energy filled dialogues. - VFM --- Value for money Well tomorrow I will try to post review of Naquaab, Awarapan. But I can give you rating for these 2 movies --- Naquaab --- 2/5 (Only 2 hr movie) and Awarapan ---- 2.5/5 (Too lengthy, gr8 songs). If anyone want to write review, he/she is most welcomed but just try to make it descriptive and interesting (with rating). Don't reveal the whole story as it will ruin the taste of watching the movie. Please write more and more reviews as I can't watch every movie Also write any suggestion to make this post more interesting.
i have watched Awarapan, yesterday. well, its a very nice movie. i like it i will rate it 3.5/ 5 if you are indian, you can go ahead and watch this movie.
Why is it the Transformer wasn't there? i think its more awesome. Well, regarding the options. i voted for Pirates of the Carribean Its really great Will Turner rocks
Jon McLane is the new Terminator. Watch the other 3 Die Hard if you want good action movies. Transformers is probably the best action movie this summer. I'm not into action movies too much, anyway. I can't wait to see the new Christian Bale movie.
Well I am unable to get ticket for transformers, but I will insist that someone should write a good review of that movie.
3. Fantastic Four : Rise of the silver surfer ----- Rating 2.3/5 Well this is a T.P. (time pass) movie, you can watch it once and yet it doesn't disappoint you. Its a good attempt to tell the comic book story. Good for children who love to watch action heroes. The story is simple ---- An alien from another planet who's a slave of mighty Gallactus (yet another alien), tries to destroy earth using cosmic radiations (so that his master can suck up the whole Earth). Our four popular heroes try to resist him, but they are also encountered again with Victor (the electric guy). Some scenes are nice such as when the powers of heroes gets exchanged with one another's. All n all its a light family movie. Why u should watch the movie ----- - So that ur children are atleast quiet for 2 hrs - Jessica Alba looks fine ( Invisible Girl ) - T.P. (Time pass) movie - Ur a comic book enthusiast - Lots of light comedy scenes - Its better than the first part 4. Awarapan ----- Rating 2.5/5 Emraan Hashmi ---- The chumma chaati guy, serial kisser, lip lock guy etc. etc. !!! Well this time its not true whattttt Emraan with no chumma chaati Well guys I am sorry to say but this is true (atleast for this movie I don't know about future, u have to consult a jyotish for that The above mentioned fact is the main USP of the film, therefore this is a movie for GF's and BF's, I mean u can take ur girl friend out for a treat (if she's screaming at u, to take her out). Going out with ur friends is not advisable as there will be not much instances of shouting and hooting. However the movie is very long (good for BF and GF stuff), u can reserve a kone wala khopcha with ur GF and watch it peacefully. Also there are not much embarrassing scenes (no hoooting from front liners). Songs r the main power of this film or I must say soul of the film. Emraan's best acting attempt. Shreya Saran (the kaboootar girl ) is great in acting as well as looks. The second actress is also ok. Story is not so good. Overall worth watch it once. Why u should watch the movie ----- - Emraan's acting (of course with no chumma chaati) - Songs - Beautifully shot at beautiful locations - Direction is fine - GF & BF stuff 5. Naquaab ----- Rating 2/5 Well I had many expectations from this one but this movie is disappointing. Story --- with good twists and turns but not really practical, Songs --- only 2 but neither of them is good, Direction ---- Naahh not that good, Acting --- bobby= good, akshay=average, urvashi=very good. The new actress looks confident and acts good. However if you are a regular Abbas Mustaan fan and you haven't watched a suspense thriller recently, then u can go for it. The film is based on love triangle, Bobby = rich guy Urvashi = simple, down 2 earth girl (going to marry bobby) Akshay=Casanova guy (Traps Urvashi for some secret reason). I will refer to this movie as CD movie. Ghar pe 10 rs ki cd lao, kai ko paise kharab karte ho yaar !!! Watch it at home no need to go outside. Why u should watch the movie ----- - Suspense - u can watch new actress and evaluate her performance
why on earth are you comparing bollywood to american movies? might as well compare ice cream to bugs.
Well first of all let me make it clear --- 1. Hollywood movies are technically sound but they do not look towards Music, dance and songs, therefore Hollywood movies have their own charm. Bollywood is the biggest film industry of the world, thousands of movies are produced every year, these movies are a total entertainer with songs and dance numbers, so I cant compare Bollywood and Hollywood. 2. There are a lots of Asian members on DP who would love to read Bollywood reviews as Bollywood flicks are watched all over Asia as well as various other countries. Its just about watching movies and writing reviews thats all !!
All american movies have music in them. What you are talking about is musicals, where the characters stop acting and start dancing. America releases lots of those. If you want music and dancing watch music videos. If you want drama/action watch a movie.
Actually the basic difference between hollywood and bollywood is the way of defining movies and its elements, according to bollywood if you are an actor / actress (entertainer) you need to be excellent in every aspect of entertaining people, whether its comedy, whether its dancing, whether its tragedy etc. Also because India has a prestigious musical history, it became a tradition that every movie should include at least some beautiful song sequences. Now that audience is used to all these dance numbers and songs you can't eliminate them from bollywood, and also bollywood is recognized with the same " movies with songs" (as u said) therefore it's not a big problem with people. The songs are shot in such a way that they look really nice. They are put according to the demand of the story for ex - if the lead character is sad and their will be a sad song, if something good happens then their will be a feel happy song etc. and these things also happen in our real life too, when u suddenly feel happy u start singing ur favorite song, therefore these are practical things. According to you when a person stops acting and starts dancing that means he is not acting, but my friend dancing doesn't mean just moving here and there, but it involves expressions through face and body parts and thats the same thing as acting, therefore dancing also needs acting. Not all bollywood actors are good in dancing, some can dance well, by moving their body, some move their body a little less but they fill that space with their facial expressions. Anyway you excited a good debate, for this I am thankful to you. However I will insist you to watch an Indian movie (with any of ur Indian / asian friend ). Not all Indian movies have songs in them but the number of Indian movies without songs is less. At last I will just say having songs in movies, according to me is good !!
i'm not an expert on Indian movies but i've seen some and i can same you can't compare hollywood with bollywood! first of all half of bollywood movies are clones of hollywood's! i see some movie that was clone of 'johnny q' it was kinda the exact clone but with indian actors! story was totally the same even the decoration. in johnny q there was a kinda blue color scheme and lighting in the hospital and it was same in the bollywood version. camera position and everything was the same. even the guard in hollywood version was a fat guy and it was the same in the bollywood version! the only difference that i saw was that in hollywood version the doctor was male but in bollywood one it was a female! i think bollywood is not familiar with subtitles and translating!
