Twilight Saga: Breakin Dawn Part I

Quite a disappointment.Very average flick.

Pluses:

• Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart gave their best performances in the entire series.
• The finishing line was appropriately built creating some amount of tension in the nerves.

Minuses:

• Robert Pattinson was absolutely wasted.
• Very very slow narration as would be expectd.
• Hardly any content to cover up for 2 hours of duration.
• Failed to create the charm like other Twilight series.
• The romance, the passion was absolutely missing between the couple however they tried to portray the most important phase of the love story between 'Bella' and 'Edward'.

My Rating: 2/5

Desi Boys

Pure entertainer. Never ever apply any logic.

Pluses:

• Akshay Kumar is the stealer.
• John Abraham was hot. :)
• Chitrangada Singh in a role that you perhaps always dream about.
• Very impressive dialogues. You will laugh at almost all of them. :)
• Entertainment factor is the soul of the movie.

Minuses:

• Please don't attempt to understand what and why are things happening in the movie.Absolutely, no brainers.
• Deepika Padukone was wasted. There wasn't anything new in what she performed in this one.
• John just cant act or dance, please refrain him from doing these things.
• Absolutely no script at all.
• Junk direction.
• Music is forgettable.

My Rating: 3/5(Purely for its entertaintment and feel good factor) :)

In time

Good concept. However cudnt make it engrossing enough.

Pluses:

• Good concept. First hour goes in understanding the world without money. :)
• Justin Timberlake as 'Will Salas' and Amanda Seyfried as 'Sylvia Weis' did a decent job.

Minuses:

• Poor story line. Could have kept some content while scripting something on such concept.
• Second half of the movie was not very impressive.

My Rating: 2.5/5

Tower Heist

Not a bad watch. Time pass flick. Nothing extraordinary to boast about.

Pluses:

• Ben Stiller as 'Josh Kovacs' and Eddie Murphy as 'Slide' did a good job.
• Story well woven, to not let you sleep.

Minuses:

Script could have been written better.However not all that bad.


My Ratings: 2.5/5

Rockstar

Very disappointing movie. Expected a lot better from Imtiaz Ali and A.R Rehman. Not a very matured flick for a matured audience.

Pluses:

• Ranbir Kapoor. Whatever was given to him, he justified the role.
• The first half an hour was entertaining, but thats about it.

Minuses:

• Impatiently slow. Unnecessarily long.
• Attempt to frame it in the western fashion, stitching stories back and forth, but the context didnt really work for it. Nothing intriguing enough to hold you to see the past.
• Disappointing character sketch of a Rockstar. The pain, the frustration they tried to portray, wasnt up to the mark.
• Many many flaws, 'Jordan' acting insane and animal like for no apparent reason. No drugs either. A frame of Rockstar is incomplete without dope. :D Somebody plz remind Imtiaz about it :)
• Nargis Fakhri, a complete let down when it comes to acting. One of the major character in the movie and what awful performance.
• Music was just about passe. Screwed up the very popular 'Sadda Haq' with forced context on Mother Nature :P The most romantic of the songs ,"Tum ho" was equivalent to 'nahi hona'. Rest of them were all backgrounds.
• Not a very strong script to depict the romance between the two leads.

In short, Imtiaz tried to put a lot of masala in the picture...Alas! failed to make an impact.

My Rating: 2/5

Real Steel

One lovely movie. Quite different from the set expectations. Must watch.

Pluses:

• Very difficult to differentiate between the leads, Hugh Jackman and Dakota Goyo playin the characters of 'Charlie Kenton' and 'Max Kenton' respectively. Awesome job by both of them.
• The movie however u would expect to be more of action, but is instead a lot of drama :) And on the surprising side...is in itself the biggest plus point.
• The relationship between the son-father duo is profoundly sketched.
• The script written aptly so as to get you the feel.
• Evangeline Lilly as 'Bailey Tallet' is a pleasant support.

Minuses:

• On the technical side, it fails to create an impression, is what i personally felt.
• The initial half an hour may feel a little dull. But the story picks up later.

My Rating: 3.5/5
