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

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

The Avengers: 3D



I would say, an entertaining watch, however not a quality watch.


Pluses:

  • Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark - The Iron Man, he is the man. Easily steals the show. Absolutely love him, his style and personality. Good action by him and good performance by his suit. :D
  • Personally loved the role of Mark Ruffalo as Dr. Bruce Banner-The Hulk. He was an amazing SMASHER :D
  • Chris Evans as Captain America...he is a dude, good looking super hero. You can spend time drooling over him and his body :)
  • Tom Hiddleston as the demi god 'Loki' was impressive, he didnt have much to do in the flick, however i like his witty smile throughout :)
  • The size and body part is apt for Chris Hemsworth in and as Thor. :)
  • Scarlett Johannson as Agent Natasha Romanoff was cool :)
  • It was definitely an eye treat to see all of 'em together, but thats about it
  • Over all a good time pass and entertaining flick.

Minuses:

  • The very first scene was a turn off. The same old story which we have heard over and over again of Asgard and the demi gods.
  • The movie was stretched way too much, could have easily been wraped up in 2 hours.It was sluggish in the first half.
  • The sense of humour in the movie was good but cliche.
  • 3D as usual, a complete waste. Please avoid.
  • I expected a lot more action and quality action, it miserably failed to deliver the same.
  • They wasted a lot of time in showing the unnecessary conflicts between the super heroes and respective ego clashes, could have been downsized.
  • Hopeless script, hated it.


My rating: 3/5

Vicky Donor




A must watch. Absolute entertainer. A different concept, very indianised. Nevertheless, a fun filled movie. I will promote this :)

Pluses:
  • Ayushman as 'Vicky', goes without saying. He rocked. Quite a good actor.
  • Anu Kapoor as 'Dr. Chaddha' was hilarious. Loved him.
  • Yami Gautam as 'Ashima Roy' was pretty and confident. A fresh face.
  • The character played by Vicky Arora's Mother was also hard hitting :)All the characters were in place.
  • The script was such that you wont get bored. You will enjoy every bit of it.
  • Music was fine, not too many, just the right :)

Minuses:

I dont exactly like too many lingual interferences, restricts a few scenes to only some particular sect of audiences. However, all within control :)

My rating: 3.5/5

Housefull 2



Absolute junk but yet a complete entertainer. Please dont expect quality, just go for fun, you will laugh your heart out and nevertheless, choose right company. :)


Pluses:
  • Sajid Khan, fabulous direction. At first looking at the star cast you may think, none of them knows acting,but he really got everyone to act really smooth.
  • Akshay Kumar as 'Sunny' is a show stealer. Without him the movie will not even take off.
  • Ritesh Deshmukh as 'Jolly' did a good job as always. He is a steady actor.
  • Rest of the star cast did justice to their respective roles.
  • The script was so well tailored and so entertaining, that you just cant stop laughing.
  • The soul of the movie, i.e humour was so low in quality but yet very well ensures that you go out of the theatre with lots of recollection of all the funny dialogues and specific character defining style.
  • Better than Housefull :)

Minuses:
  • John Abraham somehow just cant act. He still seems to be in Dostana mode, pretty gayish.
  • I personally never like the way Asin presents herself, a lil overacting always.
  • The movie takes half an hour to pick up, they take quite a lot of time introducing all the characters of the movie. But you definitely feel a difference with the introduction of Akshay Kumar. :)
  • Songs are such let downs, you just wait for them to get done.

My rating: 3.5/5
