xXx (2002)
New breed of Spy....
My A*se. This movie was bad, really bad. The Stunts were seemingly too overdone to be anywhere near believable, i mean sideways on a motorbike inbetween barbed wire...dont think so. Billed as some sort of new breed, its basically just Bond for the teenagers, teenagers who actually still really like Bond, so it comes off as a cheap imitation ripping Bond off at every corner, with the gadgets, the Q person and even the parachute! I can safely say i wont be in the Queue for XXX 2 next year unless someone pays me and/or threatens me with my life/genitals
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)
Another Year!!
Well what can i say that hasnt been said before. I love this film, so what if Peter Jackson doesnt have every inch of Tolkiens book down because he's got most of it, and he expands into areas which i personally felt were missing or bunged off into the appendicies, and i cant see what all the uproar is about. Remember people its a film, a film of a long book, which i can honestly say is not without fault in itself. Some areas would translate very difficultly onto film. The Portrayal of Faramir disappointed me a bit, because i liked his character of a noble man in the book, but his greed and power lust is there to show that men are not without fault, and he comes good in the end. The battle scene with the Wargs is a very nice addition, and Legolas does that cool thing on the horse. Shelob will turn up, stop writing threatening letters to Peter Jackson, give the poor guy a break, he's dedicated years of his life to these films and he's done a superb job so far. Now its another year of post production!!!
Masters of the Universe (1987)
I love it, but it is average
I have to say that when i saw it i loved it and i still do, just because it is He-Man. The Film is Average at best, and i think most people realise that, but it has some plus points. Dolph lundgren was right as far as the physical side went, but i think he should have taken about 6 billion more acting lessons. The Whole Eart thing was thing that ruined the film. Yeah so its nice to think that Earth in this Universe is playing a role in a cataclysmic struggle between good and evil, but i just want to know why nobody managed to see Skeletor's Army March through a massive Purple glowing portal in the middle of a suburb somewhere. More of Eternia would have been much better, and the set for Greyskull was pretty cool.Most of the acting was pretty average, but Langella stands out head and shoulders, despite the moving cheekbones. Everything about him is evil, and Langella's dominant voice, and in some cases over acting show Skeletor how he should have been, because i look back at the cartoon and Skeletor just gets a bit annoying with his whiny cackling voice. I just hope that with the resurrection of He Man now, if the cartoon is successful, they should give a film another shot.
