Prometheus



You will not regret watching it. Good show.

Pluses:
  • Larger than life scale things were worth watching.
  • However cliche is the script, it still doesnt fail to hold you on to your seats.
  • Dont expect a lot of alien attacks and killings, its rather a mellowed down scale on which the flick is built.
  • Noomi Rapace playing the lead character of 'Elizabeth Shaw' was amazing. Few of her shots were in fact breath taking.
  • Michael Fassbender as the Robot 'David' did an awesome job as well. He is the USP of the flick.



  Minuses:
  • Charlize Theron as 'Meredith Vickers' is wasted. There was nothing much in her scope to perform.
  • Guy Pearce as 'Peter Weyland' is wasted literally as well.
  • Other character not worth a mention.
  • 3D is nothing great as usual.


My rating: 3/5

Cabin in the woods



An absolute time pass flick. No quality of horror at all.But surely not boring.

Pluses:
  • I absolutely loved the character of Fran Kranz as ' Marty' right from the beginning till the end.
  • Kristen Connolly as ' Dana' was one of the very important characters of the movie, and her role played well.
  • The movie doesnt put you bore, that probably is the only selling point.
Minuses:
  • Horror element is negligeable.
  • Chris Hemsworth as 'Curt' was absolutely wasted. Hated his role so much in this.
  • Other characters dont even need a mention. Absolute waste.
  • The script writer i think was very confused. He put all kinda masalas and tadkas in the story, he just wasnt sure on what he laid is hands on- a zombie flick or a scientific experiment or a reality show or a ritual in the end. Mannnn, insane!!
  • You will be baffled and dumstruck by the time the movie ends.And it will leave you wondering on what exactly did you watch :P
  
My rating: 2/5

Snow white and the Huntsman



  
A fantasy tale relived. Beautiful description, a good watch. But set the expectations to the minimal close to being realistic.

Pluses:
  • Charlize Theron as 'Ravenna' was the best character in the movie. Easily convincing to be evil and to the best that it can be played.
  • Kristen Stewart as 'Snow White' did a good job of portraying the character well and standing strong throughout.
  • I have always liked Chris Hemsworth, and only more as 'The Huntsman'. :)
  • It is a fantasy tale, there is not much of any scope to show innovations in terms of script. It lived up to how a movie of a certain duration can be built on the book. Nothin more and no less.
  • As far as presentation of the movie is concerned, it stands good. That in fact is the USP of the movie, without which none of the greatest actors can survive a lame direction.

Minuses:

Sam Claflin as 'William' was wasted.

My rating: 3/5

Men in Black-III




Entertainer. Not too many alienated characters though. Do have a contained hope.

Pluses:

  • Will Smith as 'Agent J'without any second thought, he was the show stealer.
  • Tommy Lee Jones as 'Agent K' was a great support. The relation terms between the duo have been portrayed really well.
  • Jemaine Clement as 'Boris The Animal' was villaneous yet a funny portraiture. His attitude and ego put together built a beautiful character.
  • Script was rather light. There wasnt much of any over dosage in it. Not too much humor, nor action injected. Just about light.
  • Yes, Pitbull featured number was one attention catcher but only by the end of the movie and minus the video which is a let down.

Minuses:

Could we expect a little more specfic script suiting the genre of the flick. It was way too bland.

My rating: 2.5/5
