Transporter 2 (2005)

Posted in action with tags , , , , on 28 June, 2009 by Z!

This is almost as bad as a James Bond movie… even in fast forwarding mode.

Rating: 4/10

I Am Legend (2007)

Posted in action, sci-fi with tags , , , , , on 28 June, 2009 by Z!

Will Smith starring as the sole survivor in NYC after a virus turns most of humanity into monsters that can only stay alive in darkness. Some good ideas in there but comes w/ a really weak ending.

Rating: 6/10

Quantum of Solace (2008)

Posted in action with tags , , , on 11 April, 2009 by Z!

I never understood the James Bond phenomena and I still don’t get why there’s a need to make childish and unrealistic action movies. I tried really hard for 60 minutes but then I had no other choice but giving up.

Eagle Eye (2008)

Posted in action with tags , , , , , on 31 January, 2009 by Z!

Big-Brother-is-watching-you type of movie with a well over the top plot. If I could just figure out why does a computer with ultimate super power and control over most electronic devices have to set up a really complicated assassination attempt on anyone instead of doing it the easy way?

Rating: 5/10

Shooter (2007)

Posted in action with tags , , , , on 30 January, 2009 by Z!

A retired sniper is being set up in an assassination attempt but he escapes and seeks for revenge. This is how I like my action movies: fast pace, good story, great acting and entertainment throughout.

Get Smart (2008)

Posted in action, comedy with tags , , , , , on 13 January, 2009 by Z!

A very funny spy comedy. NO. Not even close. Utterly boring with annoying jokes.

Max Payne (2008)

Posted in action with tags , , , , on 12 January, 2009 by Z!

Based on the video game of the same name Max Payne fails to deliver all the goods. The scenery and the cinematography is absolutely beautiful and it perfectly gives back the atmosphere of the game but the storytelling is rather boring. I can hardly see people that are not fans of the game really enjoying this.

Rating: 7/10
