Vishwaroopam (2013)
10/10
A Magnum Opus from Kamal Hassan
26 January 2013
To start off with, I don't know why Muslims are protesting against this film. The charges that they make are untrue. The film doesn't insult or defame any religion. I request the protesters to allow the movie to get released so that everyone could get a chance to enjoy this masterpiece and know the truth.

Coming to the movie, this film will definitely go down in history as one of the best Indian Films. We Indians should be proud that a Indian film maker had made a movie on par with International standards, maybe even more.

The films opens up with a brilliant Kathak dance. Kamal Hassan has mastered this art and the effort he has put in really shows. The scene where he shows his stunt skills will give you goose pumps. From there onwards the movie picks up on a rapid pace. There isn't even a single dull moment in the film. The screenplay is very good and every scene has been filmed with lot of conviction. The movie runs for 135 mins but it could have been a little longer. I can't wait to watch Vishwaroopam II.

Go and Watch it for the Visuals
14 December 2012
To Start off, I'm a fantasy freak and a huge fan of Peter Jackson's movies. I went to this movie mainly to see what different did he do from TLOTR and i must admit the movie was amazing. The start is slow since the characters needs introduction and once the mission is revealed the movie takes off at an amazing pace. I watched this movie in Real 3D and not in HFR 3D, so i didn't get a chance to enjoy the 48fps visuals, but nevertheless the visuals were stunning. The movie is quite long, it runs for nearly 160mins, but you would never know how the time runs off. Bilbo Baggins portrayed by Martin Freeman has acted so naturally and steals the show. He brings in the humor element. His Journey along with the thirteen dwarfs forms the main plot of the movie. All thirteen dwarfs have equal importance, but Thorin stands out. Ian Mckellen has once again proved that he's the best. No one could have played Gandalf better than him.

The movie has amazing visuals and the graphics are excellent. Experience the movie in 3D. There are lot of new characters like goblins and wargs. Gollum is back and his encounter with Baggins is definitely one of the main highlights of the movie. There isn't lot of actions/stunts and the end is quite disappointing. But nevertheless, go and it as you will definitely enjoy this epic. Peter Jackson has done it again.

Best of the series
8 December 2012
Let me tell you this. This movie is "only" for Twilight Fans. The movie opens with Bella turning into a Vampire. The stunts she performs as a Vampire are awesome, particularly where she goes in hunt for blood. Rob and Kristen's love for each other is so natural that you will start envying them. Kristen scores well over the others. The girl who acted as Renesmee has done a good job. Though she doesn't have much dialogs, she delivers with her expression. Her eyes does most of the talking. Rob has done what is expected out of the character. Peter Facinelli is the surprise element here. He gets a meaty character and delivers it really well. The main disappointment is Taylor Lautner. There isn't much scope for him. The story travels at a steady pace and gets really fast at the end. The climax is outstanding, there is a real twist at the end that you should definitely not miss. Overall the movie is enjoyable and if you are a Twihard, watch is at least twice..
