Primeval (2007) TV – Review

Plot – When strange anomalies in time start to appear all over England, Professor Cutter and his team have to help track down and capture all sorts of dangerous prehistoric creatures from Earth’s distant past.

Review – I watched S1 when it was shown on ITV and thought it was just ok, when i heard that there was a second season…i thought i would give t a go.

From start to end i enjoyed it a lot more, the story line was better and so was the special FX. I feel that there was a lot more thought put into this season and the budget was bigger.

I would now get this on DVD as i enjoyed S2 a lot, and i am looking forward to season 3.

Overall and interesting and fun tv show and I enjoyed it very much.

Flight Of The Navigator – Review

Plot – A 12 year old boy goes missing in 1978, only to reappear once more in 1986. In the eight years that have passed, David hasn’t aged. It is no coincidence that at the time David ‘comes back’, a flying saucer is found, entangled in electricity cables

Review – I saw this when I was a kid and loved it, so the other week I was in Zavvy and saw the DVD for £2.00 so I thought it was a MUST to get it on DVD. After watching this again i still love it, its fun from start to end. There are so many films i loved when i was a kid that i plan on getting, but this one the first.

Overall – FUN from start to end, a great feel good movie and a great classic kids film.

Lost S1,2 and 3 Review

I started watching this on Channel 4 when it first aired, and then they aired S2 right after S1….then…Sky won the rights to S3.

I really liked watching season 1 until the end…i felt that it had something then lost it all near the end. This could have been a very cool series but i think they killed it by the end of S1.

I decided to continue and see if S2 made me change my opinion about Lost….but nope it didn’t. S2 didn’t answer a lot of questions that were asking S1 but made you ask more. It also started to go all over the place rather than stay on the same road and improve.

I finally saw S3 and thought this season was just ok, again it didn’t answer any more questions and again it went all over the place…the ending is very weird but a little interesting.

I originally was going to get this on DVD but now i have 100% changed my mind. This show could have been really really good, but its just a mess of story, mess of plot and just all over the place. I think its one you will either like or just hate…for me…. am probably sitting on the fence…i will probably watch S4 but its just to see how it runs and how it ends the series.

Dragon Tiger Gate – Review

Plot – Three young martial arts masters emerge from the back streets of Hong Kong to help the powerless fight injustice.

Review – This film is based on a comic book, I have never read the comic or heard of it. I saw the trailer and thought this looked good.

Unlike most comics to films, the action, fighting and special FX are not over the top….they do look like they could be real, rather than cheesy. The actors and acting were all great in there roles, not once did i think hmmmm such and such would have been better.

I really liked this film and could watch it again, it was 100% enjoyable from start to finish. Everything just worked which is what you want in a film. The soundtrack was really cool and i would even consider buying it.

Batman Begins – Review

Plot (I liked this sites plot so i will use it)  – In tone with the early “Batman: Year One” style comics. As a boy a young Bruce Wayne watched in horror as his millionaire parents were slain in front of his eyes, a trauma which led him to become obsessed with revenge but his chance is cruelly taken away from him by fate. After disappearing to the East where he seeks counsel with the dangerous but honorable ninja cult leader known as Ra’s Al-Ghul, he returns to his now decaying Gotham City overrun by organized crime and dangerous individuals manipulating the system whilst the company he inherited is slowly being pulled out from under him. The discovery of a cave under his mansion, and a prototype armored suit leads him to take on a new persona, one which will strike fear into the hearts of men who do wrong – he becomes, Batman. In the new guise, and with the help of rising cop Jim Gordon, Batman sets out to take down the various nefarious schemes in motion by individuals such as mafia don Falcone, the twisted doctor/drug dealer Jonathan ‘The Scarecrow’ Crane, and a mysterious third party that is quite familiar with Wayne and waiting to strike when the time is right. Written by Dark Horizons

Review – This is the best Batman movie made to date! its the way the originals should have been. It doesnt have the crap childish overacted jokes, bad acting….its fantastic from start to finish and the look of the film is excellent. If the sequels stay with this style and look i cant wait to see them….oh and as long as Christian Bale keeps up the Batman role it will be great.
