The Passion of the Christ (2004)
did nothing for me
Watched the film out of interest and i have to say i regretted it. The brutality portrayed in the film does nothing to assist the story in my mind and the amount of blood at one point in the film is just exaggerated to unnecessary extremes. I mean, come on, Jesus may have been a miracle worker, but he was a man just like the rest of us. The film also seemed too glamorous for my liking. Everything was way too cinematic and the other problem was that Gibson seemed to do nothing to justify the violence in the film. In my opinion, you'd be better not watching the film, but that's just my opinion, watch it if you want to and draw you're own conclusions.
Avatar (2009)
Cameron is back!
Went to see James Cameron's Avatar with already high expectations after hearing about it from good friends and (finally) went to see it in 3D.
Verdict: Avatar simply swept away these expectations. The visuals were simply stunning and the 3D served to improve these visuals.
The cast was also solid, particularly with Sam Worthington in his second big screen role and Sigourney Weaver giving, in my mind, an excellent performance along with Giovanni Ribisi and Stephen Lang giving an excellent performance as the greedy corporate boss and gun toting marine colonel.
There is also the idea of placing consciousness into an artificial body, which was a new one for me, i loved the idea and it did very well as a plot device in the film.
To round it off, a film with stunning visuals and a great cast to match, great film Cameron, you deserve nothing but praise for this!
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2009)
Wow...
Where to begin? well, the plot, with twists and all, is brilliant and enjoyable. I found myself shocked and surprised at what i thought were the key moments to be shocked and surprised, which was a definite plus.
I also enjoyed the idea of a different attachment with each weapon and had fun playing around with this for hours on end! What i was stunned by were the graphics. A great improvement from a great previous game! I couldn't believe what i was seeing half the time! Multiplayer is excellent, with more incentive to play and try out different mixes of equipment in each match.
Overall, a great sequel, hats off to infinity ward, well done guys!
