This movie tries to say something about vigilantism and justice system, when the movie itself is confused on who we're supposed to be rooting for. This could've been a lot more interesting if handled with thought and care into it. Director F. Gary Gray and screenwriter Kurt Wimmer are not the right people for this type of material. What we get something implausible and out-right stupid.

One of Rob Reiner's best movies along with The Princess Bride, a simple but affecting tale. All credit goes to the cast of the film; Wil Wheaton, Corey Feldman, Jerry O'Connell, Kiefer Sutherland and the outstanding River Phoenix. The screenplay makes it all seem fresh, witty and charismatic. We all care for each character and brings so much heart when one suffers but the other helps him back up his feet.

This should be a case-study for blockbuster filmmaking and it's all thanks to Joss Whedon. He creates great characterisation with genuine humour and heart. Unlike Michael Bay's Transformers movies, we get to have great action set-pieces but also caring for the characters we follow. Everyone is on the top of their game from the cast and crew. This is the best Marvel comic book movie to date! Highly recommended.

Both Downey Jr. and Law have great chemistry and you get the same from the first film but amped up. Though both Noomi Rapace and Rachel McAdams could have been easily written out and Jared Harris was a bit laid back to be threatening. Though the Holmes vision bothered me, it comes across he's psychic than an intelligent person. Also Ritchie's use of slow-motion was a bit too much, it lost its novelty very quickly.

Very entertaining through-out, Brad Bird's first live-action movie is remarkable. Tom Cruise still capable on leading an action movie, whilst giving some share of the spot-light to Simon Pegg and new IMF agents Paula Patton and Jeremy Renner. The action sequences are very well choreographed and are exciting to watch! Just a shame the villain doesn't bring a threatening presence to feel the mission is at stake.

This movie can only go anywhere but up from Quantum of Solace (honestly didn't think it was terrible but could've been a hell of a lot better). I mean, Sam Mendes + Roger Deakins + Thomas Newman + Daniel Craig + Judi Dench + Javier Bardem + Ralph Fiennes = too good to be true!

S.S.D.C. Same Shit, Different Country. Basically a remake of the first film but disguised as a sequel.

Steven Soderbergh's first action movie is built all around on martial arts fighter Gina Carano, and she certainly has an incredible talent on being equipped with some visceral fighting techniques. The story is conventional action/revenge storyline and rings a bit too closely to being Bourne. The cast is spectacular but there's no investment in them since we don't know much about them.

Roland Emmerich has gone far too long with his series of disaster flicks, only Independence Day was self-aware on being silly and the rest (especially this one) slowly gets old with its cliched stereotypical characters and boring set-pieces that gets stupidly over-the-top. To top it all off, the 2012 doomsday theories is (pardon for being juvenile here) completely and utterly bulls**t!

Certainly one of the best films of 2011, basically this year's 'The King Speech'; an honest crowdpleaser but our leading star comes from Joey the horse. It's a movie that really shouldn't work but Spielberg makes it with ease! The performances from an ensemble British cast is astounding from Peter Mullen, Emily Watson, David Thewlis, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Hiddleston and Liam Cunningham. Highly Recommended!

This is blatantly a love letter to Spielberg movies of 70s (E.T. and Close Encounters are clear homages) but J.J. Abrams' isn't ashamed of it and I say good on him! The child actors are charismatic to make us care to whatever happens to them. The tension on not seeing the monster till the end reminded me of Jaws and Alien, thus makes it more affective when it is revealed (though can be a bit underwhelming for some)

An exciting reboot and the best blockbuster of 2011. The CGI from WETA Digital (The Lord of the Rings and Avatar) is jaw-dropping! Though much of the praise Andy Serkis' performance as Caesar, he really makes you engaged to the character and should honestly get a nomination for his performance (still considered as acting, even wearing mo-cap suit). It has one great moment that involves one word near the end. . . .

Just like 'Zodiac', this is an intelligent adult thriller and Fincher doesn't shy away from subject matter of rape and torture. The cinematography by Jeff Cronenworth and music by Reznor & Ross is both wonderful and eerie with each particular scene. The main attraction to the story is Lisbeth Salander, previously played by Noomi Rapace and Rooney Mara delivers a career-making performance.

The disappointing aspect of this movie is it isn't as interesting as you expect to come from Clint Eastwood. The only thing going for it is from the cast, which Leonardo DiCaprio constantly reminds us why he's one of the best in the business. Dustin Lance Black's screenplay lacks the emotional punch that he deservedly got recognised from 'Milk' but still gives a rather interesting insight of J. Edgar Hoover.

There was nothing in the film that made it memorable compared to 'Withnail & I' ("we went on holiday by mistake!"). It is certainly in no way terrible, it is just sadly disappointing and wasn't quite worth the wait. The script is sharply written but the story is what makes it loses focus towards the end. Depp felt out of place and should've been replaced someone younger, but still gave a good performance.

A movie with such aesthetic beauty, you almost get over-whelmed by its cinematography, music and its screenplay. Tom Ford allows you to feel George Falconer's sorrow, it becomes more tragic as it gets closer to the end. Colin Firth makes a powerful performance, Jullianne Moore also makes a stand out performance along with the supporting cast. It almost became a perfect movie, almost!

This movie cements itself on putting the last nail on the coffin of the Pirates series. Rob Marshall doesn't bring anything new to the table and Johnny Depp's charm as Jack Sparrow has worn off. The plot is inconsistent, the characters are one-dimensional and the ending is a complete cop out. To sum it all up, the whole thing was boring and completely pointless other than to be a cash grab!

It was going to be a high order to be equally as good as John Carpenter's 1982 cult-classic. Unfortunately, it's a boring horror movie that's as much as a remake than it claims to be a prequel. The characters are lifeless archetypes (Mary Elizabeth Winstead is just another Ripley rip-off), the CGI effects looks worse than the practical effects achieved in the 1982 film and it is just pointless overall.

If a story grabs your attention from the start and gets you hooked through-out, it has done its job (whether it is fictional or real) and Tim Burton executes it perfectly. Lead performances from Ewan McGregor and Albert Finney are top notch, as well the supporting cast and Danny Elfman's enchanting score are also superb.

A movie about baseball and baseball statistics that gets you interested has succeeded and it's all due to the writing and performances. You can't go wrong with a better writing duo than Steven Zaillian (Schindler's List) and Aaron Sorkin (The Social Network). Both Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill make great chemistry in the sports movie that nearly avoids on being a cliché and brings some realism to this character drama.

A very stylish action film noir movie! Refn relishes the L.A. scenery and turns a conventional love story to something fresh and original. Not to mention the car chases are superbly edited and shot, it makes Fast and Furious franchise look pathetic. The performances from the cast is nothing short but terrific, especially from Ryan Gosling and Albert Brooks. Easily one of the best films of 2011!

Oliver Stone has tackled many tough subjects; Vietnam, JFK assassination etc. You'd think tackling the events in NYC during 9/11 would be right in Stone's alley, but it unfortunately falls on being mediocre at best! Paul Greengrass's 'United 93' had twice the emotion and intensity in its story and direction. Stone, however, force feeds us America's sentimentality that it almost becomes slightly unbearable.

An action movie built around its hype on having most of the action stars of the 80s to present day is bound to have high expectations. Well, those expectations were too high that it all came crashing down to a huge disappointment. Incompetently made, Stallone strongly relies heavily on nostalgia where that's where the movie fails. It feels like a dull action movie than a homage of the movies that made their names!

Joe Johnston should be applauded for making a Captain America movie that has its tongue firmly in its cheek and delves into the 1940s aesthetics. The few flaws the movie has is the pacing gets a bit too fast paced after Steve Rogers becomes Captain America and Red Skull doesn't get as much development when compared to Loki from 'Thor'. Otherwise, it is entertaining as hell and looking forward to The Avengers!

One of the best in the eight movie series. It really does show David Yates had put a lot of effort to make the saga end in style! Easily one of the best movies of summer 2011. Whilst the production design, sound, visual effects and orchestral score are all top-notch, some of the emotional scenes felt rushed and characters not given enough screen-time.

I say this lightly, this movie is better than Transformers 2. However, as much Michael Bay has improved on this film, he still hasn't improved the problems since the first film. This is an action film that you don't care for any of the characters (human or robot), the dialogue is excruciating to listen to and the performances are just dull. Worst of all, the Transformers get side-lined in their own movie. . . again!

If this movie does turn out to be worse than Revenge of the Fallen, then god help us all! No really! I'm even afraid it will do well at the box-office, goes to show a lot of people are easily amused by lame stupid attempts of humour.

A highly ambitious film but Terrence Malick delivers it that seems personal but also asks a common question; what is the meaning of life? The film features gorgeous cinematography, beautiful orchestral score and compelling performances. The film can be viewed being overly pretentious and will no doubt divide audiences but then this is quite similar to 2001: A Space Odyssey and sparked the same type of reactions.

The Green Lantern finally has its first live-action debut, and it is wasted considering the talent from cast and crew were behind it. Martin Campbell brought us Bond but is unable to make this particular hero exciting! The VFX and sets all seemed artificial, and was hard to suspend your disbelief. Plus the characters were barely developed to a decent level and the performances were average. Hugely disappointing.

A very well made fake horror documentary, the cast give convincing performances that helps (especially in the genre) and it was more atmospheric horror than having lazy jump scares. The whole film from start to finish reminded me of a Lovecraftian story and worked to its advantage. It also reminded me of Cannibal Holocaust with the ending, but very well done!
