Ghost Rider- Spirit of Vengeance



Time pass action flick, exactly as you would have expected. :)

Pluses:
  • Nicolas Cage. He was good as much as you can expect as the character 'Ghost rider'
  • Some beautiful locations to cherish on bigger screen :)

Minuses: 

  • Poor cliche script.
  • Supporting character, none were up to the mark.
  • 3D, a complete waste. I dont understand why are such movies even attempted to be built as 3D.

 
My Rating: 2.5/5

Ek main aur ekk tu



Very average. Nothing to boast about. And not exactly a one time watch either.

Pluses:
  • The fresh feel that the presentation has, however they cudnt pull it through.
  • Kareena Kapoor and Imran Khan looked very fresh, i liked there fashion designer :) But thats about it. :)
  • The end is worth watching after the entire stretch of the flick.

Minuses:
  • Sad script. Hell lot of drama.
  • Non impressive music.
  • Dumb acting from both the actors.
  • Intolerable first half.


My Rating: 2.5/5

The Descendants



Depicts the state of families and relations of westerners.But for Indian standards, way too slow to sit through it.

Pluses:
  • George Clooney. I love this man. This time aint a dapper otherwise tat he is. But he can churn out the feelings and take you through the journey of a normal white guy's household with ease.
  • The supporting roles played by the daughters viz. Shailene Woodley and Amara Miller were good.
  • I especially liked the character of Nick Krause, he was unwanted, irritating yet a moving character. Quite funny yeah! :)

Minuses:
  • Way too slow.
  • Doesnt have much to offer in the script.

My Rating: 3/5(For the acting prowess and quality, distilled entertainment factor)

Agneepath



Over-rated and over hyped. Absolutely average. However some experienced actors have done fab job out there :)

Pluses:
  • Watch it out for Sanjay Dutt. He definately lives up to the expectations around his ugly and negative character.
  • Dont miss Rishi Kapoor. He is one actor who can fit in any kind of role so perfectly. You will love him as well as hate him in the same flick.
  • Hrithik Roshan. He did a good job, although he didnt have anythin new to offer in this script, given his potential and talent to perform.
  • Presentation was brilliant. Beginning few vital scenes were shot really well technically. Heart rendering.
  • Chikni Chameli had her own flavor :)
  • Release date of the movie worked to its favor. 3 weeks just one release.

Minuses:
  • Priyanka Chopra absolutely wasted. I have no idea, why she even agreed to sign on this project. A female lead's character was absolutely ignored in the script. Better they chopped the entire role itself.
  • Same old cliche dialogues. Very filmy. Doesnt touch you at all.
  • Action scenes were very dramatic, didnt catch any attention.
  • They could have changed the concluding section of the movie to better suit people's interest. I rather required a Digine to digest the end.
  • Music is very very 'kaam chalau'. Except for one song.


My Rating: 2.5/5
