Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)
Don't watch unless you are bored.
THE GOOD
Some good special effects. The acting is good, what little there is. Why did they bother to pay the fee for Johny Depp and then not use him for what he is good at, acting. He is a totally wasted in this film, he's only in it for his name. Don't watch this film to see Depp act, since he doesn't get much time to do any acting.
THE BAD
Camera work is to fast, making items on screen blurry and difficult to follow. The action scenes are mostly gratuitous and too long. The music in the sound track is overbearing. The film left me feeling nothing apart from slightly bored.
The Bourne Supremacy (2004)
Worst camera work of any film ever made.
I found this film totally frustrating and irritating, in fact it make me feel angry, not because the plot made me feel that way, but rather the camera work.
This film is almost impossible to watch due to the amateur camera work, its jerky, panning is often too fast, sometimes blurred and often much too close to the action. There are even places where the camera pans across the back of a blurred head.
I'm totally bewildered as to a reason why they deliberately made the film this way.
Watch Borne Identity and forget Supremacy.
Retroactive (1997)
This film won't satisfy any Sci-Fi fans.
I was very disappointed with this film.
The plot is awful, in fact it's almost non-existent. The action is unbelievable. The acting is average at best. The film feels too long and I was glad when it finished.
There is very little Sci-Fi content to this film. Don't bother to watch it if you are looking for a Sci-Fi film.
It's more of an action film, and a poor one at that, the action is repetitive and unimaginative. The characters have no depth to them, which leaves no sense of tension in the film, because you don't care what happens to them.
Do yourself a favour, don't watch this film.
