Hitman (2007)
Nice movie!
I remember playing Hit-man on the computer when I was a little kid. Playing the guy with the sniper rifle and doing all kinds of exciting missions. When I visited the States this year I bought this DVD to check if the movie would be the same thing. And I must say that I was not disappointed after watching this movie.
At the start of the movie we see the main character () and I thought oh crap, such a small guy, this can't be good. I expected him to be bigger, more muscular, looking tougher. But I must say he did his role okay, still casting for this role could have been better.
The story on itself was okay, agent 47 is in Russia where he has to kill a big shot but finds out that they actually want to kill him. On his way to find out who's responsible for this he kills many criminals and meets a girl.
What also was cool is the fact that
(Desmond in Lost) and
(Theodore Bagwell in Prison Break) play in this movie. As a fervent TV show watcher this was definitely a plus (although for their roles I would have casted maybe some other people).
Overall it is a nice movie to watch at home, I would give it a 6,8 on a scale of 10.
The A-Team (2010)
Great movie!
What a great movie. I went to watch this movie yesterday with low expectations. I thought, well another remake of an old movie will bring nothing new and these unknown actors will make this a bad movie. But I was wrong! The movie has many hilarious moments, especially in the beginning. The plot seems to be standard (retreive some dollar prints) but gets some nice twists. Lots of action in this movie which I liked (sometimes with some things that cannot be real like BA with his motor or shooting out of a falling tank) and great effects! The actors all acted well in my opinion. Hannibal looked the least like the old Hannibal but acted good. Also, as a big mma fan, I was very satisfied with the acting performance of Quinten Jackson! I thought, he will be some fighter that cannot act but he proved me wrong! And having Jessica Biel in this movie was also a nice move! Looking forward for part two!
Avatar (2009)
Absolutely beautiful movie!
I'm a down to earth European guy so when I heard a new 3d movie was showing with blue aliens I wasn't really enthusiastic. After watching lots of movies in the movie theater the last few weeks (Green zone, book of Eli, bounty hunter, Alice in wonderland, bad lieutenant etc.) and the release of the Avater DVD in Holland I realized that I had to see this movie where everyone was talking about in the movie theaters before I couldn't anymore. So I found someone to go with me (trust me that was difficult because everyone had already seen it) and went on my way.
The movie started completely different than I expected, there were humans in it, I thought it was pure animation. The 3d effects worked perfectly in the movie which brought many beautiful pictures. The story was nice, not super, but the effects really made this one of the best movies I have ever seen! Now I realize how stupid that I was by not watching this movie earlier. If you haven't seen the movie yet, do it! I'll buy the DVD soon, must have DVD this one! James Cameron and Sam Worthington, I applaud you!
Kick-Ass (2010)
Waste of my time!
The movie plot was nothing that I expected but that was not what made this movie terrible, it could give it a special touch. However the story tat followed was just boring and looked more like a childish Disney adventure with a predictable ending.
What I also disliked was the terrible acting of some characters. Nicholas Cage (after his terrible acting in Bad Lieutenant) showed here again that he is not a top actor. The characters that played the Mafia and the kid of the Mafia boss were also terrible.
This is a movie that I recommend only when you have really nothing to do and no other interesting movies are showing.
Spartacus: Blood and Sand: The Red Serpent (2010)
It's okay
There are two sides to this mini series. I just watched the first 3 episodes and there is one thing that I really like and one thing that I really love about this.
The graphics are terribly bad, they should have really put more time into certain things (e.g. the blood, the panoramic views) However I love Roman stories and this story is kind of fun so that's why I decided to view the other episodes too.
So if you don't mind that the graphics aren't that good and you like ancient Roman stories (it reminds me of the TV series Rome), then this is a cool series to watch!
The Book of Eli (2010)
Good movie
Good story with great acting of Denzel and Mila. In the beginning it is all a bit confusing because we do not know what happened but after a while it becomes clear and it is great to see how Denzel Washington manages to survive.
Time passed quickly watching this movie. It was also great to see Mila Kunis having a big role outside the that 70s show. I'm looking forward to seeing her act in more movies!
The last great thing about this movies that only at the end of the movie the viewer finds out that Denzel is actually blind. Didn't see that coming!
