Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows part 2 new poster

 Along with Real Steel we have another new poster. This one is for the new Harry Potter film which is set to end the series with a bang. Check out the poster.

 This poster looks great. It shows the true grit that this final film will have will tons of deaths and the final battle with Voldomart. It is early, but I think this film could be an Oscar contender becuase of the fact that it is the end of the series. It may even win best picture but that is going far in advance.

New Real Steel Poster

 Ok in my blog I have mostly just done reviews but now im going to cover more news stories. Today a poster for the Hugh Jackman film Real Steel came out. Heres a look at the poster.


 This could be a fun movie. I mean its seems like it is a mixture between Transformers and a generic boxing film. I like the poster and  seeing its release date of October 7, this film could turn out to be a fun summer film being released in October. Hugh Jackman could elevate the film alot as well. This well be an interesting film to follow.

Thor Review

Directed by Kenneth Branagh

Written by Ashley Edward Miller, Zack Stentz, and Don Payne

Starring Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Anthony Hopkins, and Tom Hiddleston

 

 Summer movie season is now under way with our first super hero release. Those film jumps of an unusual summer that has a high total of 4 movies. After each trailer was released, it seemed that this film would be the worst compared to the other super hero films becuase the tralier had a lot of silly and dumm moments with Kat Dennings (Fine but not a very good actress). So did the recent surge of good reviews speak true for the film or did the trailers issues show in the film.

 Thor is about the Mighty Thor, a powerful but arrogant warrior whose reckless actions reignite an ancient war. As a result, Thor is banished to Earth where he is forced to live among humans. Thor (Chris Hemsworth) meets a science Jane Foster (Natalie Portman). Back in Asgard Loki (Tom Hiddleston) has taken control of Asgard becuase Odin (Anthony Hopkins) is in a Odin sleep. Loki plans on sending the frost giants to raid Asgard and kill his defenseless father. So will Thor be able to get back to Asgard on time or will the Loki kill Odin and rule Asgard for ever.

 Thor is an epic like it should be and it feels that way. The scale of things like thee frost giant planet and Asgard itself looking larger then life. Once the film gets to earth we dont see the large scale, but instead a sweet and for me kind of touching between Foster and Thor. Hemsworth and Portman do a fantastic job as I felt there connection but if there relasonship was just a bit better the end would be much more satisfying.

 Speaking of Hemsworth and Portman, ever performance i solid whenever it is one line or alot. The best performance of the film were from Tom Hiddleston as Loki and Sir Anthony Hopkins as Odin. First lets talk about Hiddleston's performance as Loki. He did the best to me becuase he perfectly executed the slyness and brought quite a bit emotion to it. He just wanted to rule Asgard and make his dad happy. 

 Sir Anthony Hopkins performance was just as good but in shorter screen time. Hopkins had so much power in his voice that made him seem grand and larger then life like he should. It is too bad that he was only in the film for a short time becuase he could have really kept elevating the performances.

 What would a Thor film be without action. The action scenes in the film our also larger then life as each battle gives you the feeling of an epic. Each scene is really cool and I think some of the best action scenes in Marvels film history. Especially the first action scene at the giant ice giant planet has Thor takes on a huge army of ice giants.

 Now onto the bed which is one thing. Thor I think should have focused more on the relasonship between Thor and Loki. I think the way that the film should be done. Throughout the film we should see the connection between the brothers and then Thor is heart broken to see his brother betraying him. Then the end would be come a emotional and even epic as things like Lord of the Rings. 

 Overall Thor is a huge largely scaled epic that lives up to its name. The scary thing is that could have been much better. I am going to give Thor  8.5/10

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides Review

Directed by Rob Marshall 

Written by Ted Elliot and Terry Rossio 

Starring Johnny Depp, Penelope Cruz, Ian McShane, and Geoffry Rush 

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is perhaps the most interesting movie so far this year. This is a back handed complement but I was expecting this. The film was directed by Rob Marshall who directed best picture winner Chicago along with Nine (the musical with Daniel Day Lewis not the puppet doll one) and Memoirs of Geisha. Looking at that choice made me wonder, what characteristics make him suitable for a action comedy for families when all of his other films were either musicals or dramas.

 Also the reports were say that both Orlando Bloom and Kira Knightly would not return for this new film. This made sense since there storyline was nicely wrapped up in the third film but the were an essentially one of the biggest part of the story in all of the first three films. So what were the writers Ted Elliot and Terry Rossio going to fill they large portion they had. Why not add new characters?

 Well they add new characters but that proves unsuccessful for the writers. It seems is that there love story was too big to remove from the film, as the writers struggled massively with one of there worst scripts. The film had no structure to it and things just happened to move things along. The script is so jumbled with so much crap going on but they dont develop any of it. Its just everything in the film is a mess. I counted at least six different story lines in the film, thats right six. So you think im just going to go on and on about how bad the film is? Well im not becuase I surprisingly liked the film even with alot of shortcomings.

 Pirates of the Carriben is the dopiest film I have seen in quite some time. I mean mermaids zombies really in a pirates film. It turns out the unorganized script added something, an element of surprise. To tell you the truth I did not know who the villain was or what was going to happened. I mean you got Blackbeard, Captin Barbarossa, the Spanish, and Captin Jack himself all chasing after this Fountain of Youth so who knows what will happen.

 The action and overall look of the film is jaw dropping. Each action scene has the same type of excitement and wit as any of the other Pirate films with Captin Jack jumping like his drunken self. The film is shot on a giant scale with grand imagery that reminded me of Disney's last live action film Tron Legacy. Its not the film has a techno vibe but just a fantastic look that makes my jaw drop. The sounds are great as a chirp from a bird actually alerted me and made me jump in my seat which is reminiscent of Tron Legacy as well. 

 Overall Pirates of the Caribbean is a silly dumb film that is not close to the quality of its predessors becuase of a terrible script and the missing characters but it offers a few thrills, chills, and laughs. 7/10.
