AVATAR!!! AVATAR IS HERE!!! Oh my goodness, I've just watched the most amazing movie ever! James Cameron! Director of Titanic, Terminator 2,3! SALUTE! YOU ARE GOD!
This whole movie, is written and directed by James Cameron, took him more than 10 years to complete this movie! Because he was waiting for the technology!
AND! TODAY! I've just watch the most amazing movie ever! Originally I can't watch it in this weekend, however, I've squeezed out the time because I can't wait!!! Too bad the 3D tickets was sold out! But it's okay, because I'm going to watch second time in 3D!!!
For those who haven't watch the movie.. 3D is a must for this movie! MUST! Oh my God, I'm too excited :P
Okay, trailer first!!!

Wahahahah! How should I start the review.. Hmm.. What I can say, is that it's more than a movie! It's not just a movie! I was totally went into Pandora! I was totally into the movie!
James Cameron, how on earth you be able to create this world?
I love Titanic back on 10 years ago. Although I didn't have chance to watch Titanic in cinema, but still..
And now, Avatar is totally brought the movie industries to the next level!
Hey Micheal Bay and Roland Emmerich, this is what I call a movie! This is what the money worth spending on! Not gigantic robot gaying around, not massive explosions, not massive CGI, not overused hot girls, not over-childish-humours.. Storyline is always the backbone of a movie! Creativity will always win!

And for those CGI admirers, explosions admirers, PLEASE WATCH THIS MOVIE! This is what I meant by the combination of storyline and visual effects! Stop letting those meaningless popcorn movies earn the money and destroy the movie industries!

Now let's talk about the story! We have watched enough of Aliens trying to take over planet Earth, it's enough of Aliens trying to destroy Earth! Nowadays, (like in District 9) human, are far more evil than Aliens! Human are far more selfish than Aliens! Now, we watch how human taking over other species's planet!
Pandora, is a wonderful planet, it was so so so so beautiful! James Cameron focus on each and every little details in Pandora. Each steps they walk on the stone, it lights up, each and every little insects and plants that were so beautifully glowing in the dark. The mysterious and unbelievable connection between each species! The whole Pandora, is a huge network!
AND! I love the Na'vi freckles! Their freckles can glow in the dark! XD

Unlike human, the Na'vi loves their planet. The Na'vi worship their planet, worship their "Mother". The Na'vi loves each and every species on their planet, even if they have to hunt for food, they prefer do it fast and clean, without letting the animals suffering.
There is a wonderful connection between the Na'vi and the animals. They "connect" to the horses they ride, they "connect" to the Mountain Banshee (a flying creature) they ride. They even can "connect" themselves with the plant, or they called it as Eyra, their God. Their God Eyra, is like a server of a computer network. Every creatures in Pandora that dies, go back with Eyra. They can hear than ancestors while they "connect" themselves to Eyra. The Na'vi understand that, all energy is borrowed and one day they have to give it back.
Well this is the spirit that we human should have learned!

Meanwhile, the cruel humans and scientist, trying to collect the valuable "stone". The Na'vi home was build on the riches source of the stone. And so, the greedy human was trying to get the stone by asking them to leave their home, move to other place. Or else they will use the gunfire to get what they wanted. As the Na'vi doesn't have great technology or any super weapons against humans.
This movie, again show how cruel and selfishness of human being. Unlike 2012, this movie delivered it in a creative way, in the wonderful Pandora. That is very memorable and convincing.

Jake Sully, who has a mission, to learn the way Na'vi live, to sneak into the Na'vi and gain their trust, to convince them to move away from their home.
Finally, Jake fell in love with the Na'vi, he fell in love with Pandora, with Neytiri (a Na'vi women). And he decided to turn against the greedy and cruel human instead.
While Jake was learning to become one of the Na'vi, James Cameron has successfully brought the audiences into Pandora! Everyone fell in love with Pandora with such beautiful CG..

This movie success, not only because of the great CG, but every little details that director focus on. James successfully introduced planet Pandora which doesn't exist to the audiences. After I watched the movie, I do really hope that Pandora do exists and I wanted to go there to ride the Mountain Banshee XD

In a nutshell, this surely is the MUST WATCH MOVIE! Avatar will be classic!
After watching a few rubbish movies, no doubt, I rate this movie 10/10!!!
First movie that get full marks in my blog :P
Hope James Cameron can make another movie to introduce Pandora in more details! Like describing how beautiful is the planet before human come conquer their land. That would be great!
Besides, this movie also teach us human that we must love our Earth. Save Earth Now! In the movie Jake mentioned that we once have a beautiful planet, and we destroyed it, now we cannot let human destroy others planet again.
Although, it was just one line of dialogue, but the impact was much more stronger than 2012! Impact that remind us to protect our environment.
So please, for those who didn't participate in Earch Hour on 328, SHAME ON YOU! Some people said that turn off electricity for one hour doesn't make any differences. Hey are you stupid or what? The whole point of this campaign is to remind people to save the Earth! Not actually saving Earth in this one hour can make difference!

PS: If you haven't watch the movie, remember to watch it in 3D! If you have already watched the movie in 2D, please watch again in 3D, otherwise you'll regret XD

The Storm Warriors II (風雲 II)

**Cautions! Spoiler Ahead!!**


Wow!! Finally!! Storm Warrior is back!! The first episode was 11 years ago!! I remember I love this movie so much!! Rewatch it in VCD again and again. Can't help. You know, kids always like to do that. Haha.. But seriously I miss the movie so much. Each characters was unique and the storyline was so creative and memorable. Especially 黎耀祥 as 泥菩萨. I always think he is a very good actor. Especially when I saw him in TVB Journey to the West. Big congratz to him lately for getting best actor in TVB award ceromony. By the way, back to Storm Warriors, I believe there're a lot of people out there waiting to watch this movie. Here is the trailer!!

Interesting right? This time it will be directed by the Pang's brothers. I was looking forward to it when I first heard they'll be the director. As we all well known, the Pang's brothers were known famous at making ghost movies. From their first movie "The Eye" were good, scary and good storyline. Not to mention they help our Malaysian actress Li Xin Jie become an Asia well known famous actress. And the movie before Storm Warriors II by the Pang's brothers was 鬼域 by Li Xin Jie as well. That movie was not bad, and the CG was good too, if compare to other Hong Kong movie CG. And I remembered watching The Eye II by Shu Qi, the CG was nice! Especially when the way of ghost's hair floating. I like it :-P So I have quite high expectation on this movie. However.... IT DISAPPOINT ME A LOT!!!

The CG was really good, it can be declared as the best CG in current Hong Kong movies, or any other Chinese movies nowadays. U try compare with the pirated China Transformers movie and you'll know the difference =.=" But still it's not good enough if compare with Hollywood of course. I've heard that it was film in indoor blue screen for all the scenes in the movie. It makes me feel narrow all the time. It was like not enough space to fit all the actors and actress in there. Unlike the first episode there're still some real outdoor set which have a nice view and large. They should have use the nice space and view in China well instead of depending on CG all the time. It makes me feel tension and uncomfortable. Besides, I heard people said they have copy the way movie 300 filming the war part. I can't comment much on these as I have not watch 300 before.

Talk about the characters. As we all know, the character Cloud is still Aaron Kwok and Ekin as Wind. However, the character Chor Chor has been changed. It used to be Shu Qi who are much more better than the "vase" now in the new movie. She was so "kalefeh" and her existance in this movie was pointless.. Not to mention Ah Sa as Dream in this movie. This is the new character which doesn't show up before in the first movie. But the director didn't explain well who she is.. She just show up suddenly and it looks like she have something with Wind and we don't know what is their relationship all about!!! I heard from my friend who is the comic fans of Storm Warriors only I know that she is his wife! As for the movie are they married or not, I'm not sure. I guess they haven't. =.=" and the villain this time is 绝无神 which, the non-comic-reader audiences don't know who he is at all!! Just know that he was strong and invincible.. And show up suddenly to conquer China by capturing the Emperor. Oh ya, I've almost forgotten, Nicholas Tze was in this movie as well, as the villain's son. Well, what I can say is his existence was pointless as well. I almost forgot that he was in the movie =.="

Then you all know la, after I mention what that villain did. Of course he was trying to take over China and wanted to be a legend in the wushu world and become the Emperor. And then our super hero Cloud and Wind were the only hope. LAME!!! Actually, the true point of this movie was not the villain, he died easily and fast. =.=" The real backbone (a weak backbone this is) of this movie is the "epic" fight between Wind and Cloud. Where wind become evil because wanted to use the power of the evil forces to defeat 绝无神. Actually it was no need, because Cloud learn Kung Fu from 无名 in 3 days and become very powerful as well =.= he invented the new sword strategic. Talk about this, it was funny. About how Cloud sifu try to think a name for this new strategy. He invented a new Chinese word as well, but the director make it as his sifu is uneducated and simply invented a word to foul Cloud. This scene was actually exist in the comic but the director delivered it badly!!! Sweat..

Talk about the "epic" fight, the director really was overused the slow motion! If they remove all the slow motion I think the movie duration will be shorten about 30 minutes =.=" Even when Ah Sa got punch into the face they made it slow motion. I'm really speechless.. And the fight between Cloud and Wind were dragged so long! It was like an endless fight and it makes me feels sleepy! And the two famous sword, 绝世好剑 and 雪饮狂刀, although they appear a lot, however they have lose the power back there in episode one! They were used as like a normal sword only! Not to mention Cloud's exclusive technique 麒麟臂 wasn't used at all! If I haven't watch back the first movie I can't remember he changed his arm before into this powerful arm. And Cloud's technique that control water and attack enemies with water were appeared only ONCE in the movie, which looks like Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix where Dumbledore used the giant water ball to attack Voldemort =.="
AND! They've also copy Spiderman! There was a scene where Cloud use something like spiderweb to tied up the bad guy =.="


Last but not least, the storyline of this movie is already so weak, but their dialogue were weaker! All the dialogue were so simple and it was like kids dialogue! Especially Chor Chor and Dream these two "flower vase". They were like 风大哥 and 云大哥 ALL THE TIME! Makes me frustrated and wanted to slap them.

I rate this movie 4/10 for great CG.
The CG was really the best among Hong Kong movie industries. However, the storyline were so weak, and the directors delivered the story badly. Disappointed.
Looks like I better watch back the first episode instead to remind me my passion towards Storm Warriors :(

Quote from the first episode to describe this movie:

成也風雲, 敗也風雲

The Twilight Saga: New Moon

**Cautions! Spoiler Ahead!!**


Time for another movie review! This time is movie that everybody talking about - The Twilight Saga: New Moon. What I can say about this movie is, the advertising done extremely well, everybody is talking about it, especially Fly FM. They have been discussing about this movie for over a week! Some said nice, but most of the listeners and DJ said that it's bad!! Well, as for me, it's not good. Not until sucks but still, below my expectation. Why? Well as my tradition in this blog you might have already know, I'll post the trailer first... :P

As some of you might have heard in Fly FM, the Rush Hour DJ criticize this movie badly! Especially the actress Kristen Stewart as Bella, was totally sucks! They even came out with a contest called "Can you be a better Bella?" that require listeners to call in and act as Bella because they think EVERYONE can be a better Bella. Not to mention the bad storyline of the movie itself!

In the first movie, Twilight, I heard that it was a low budget movie as they never expect this movie to sell good when it hit on the Cinema. Obviously, this movie was popular was just because of Edward, not Robert Pattinson, but Edward. Do you guys think that Robert Pattinson really is that SO good looking? I don't think so, there are more good looking celebrities compare to him. As I heard it from my friend, the author of the Twilight novel describe Edward is the most perfect man in the world that makes girls so crazy about this novel. After I've watched the first movie, it was actually so so, however it was so popular, so I reckon the novel must be nicer and considering to buy the book for read. Luckily, one of my Harry Potter novel's fan friend urge and warn me so seriously that the book were totally "for girls only" and told me that the book were popular just because of Edward. Well I think she is right.

As the new moon came out, what I've heard from people discussing, were just Edward and Jacob good looking. About how Jacob have such great and beautiful body shape this and that. I've even saw my friend wrote in Facebook "why so many people like to watch half naked guy running in the big screen?!". Those who don't crazy about Edward and Jacob said that the movie were boring, that they always talk talk talk and there were less fighting scenes or visual effects stuff. Well that I'll ignore as I'm not the "visual audiences". Come on, this is a romance movie, what do you expect? Werewolves fighting Vampires for 2 hours?

So what do I expect from this movie? I was actually expecting some touching or memorable romance story instead of the fighting scenes. However, it really disappoint me so much. The love story between Edward and Bella, 0% touching, the single love from Jacob towards Bella, 0% touching. One of the reason, is because of Bella were so bad in acting! She looks like heart attack when she were crying in the forest!! Throughout the whole movie, while Edward leaving Bella behind, there were no one shed of tears from her. And Bella acting selfish about how she treat Jacob as a spare tire, I can't feel the bad feeling towards Jacob at all. What I see from this movie, were actually just SELLING HALF NAKED GUYS REALLY!!

Besides, the storyline itself were just sucks! A vampire leaving a human he love because he though that was the best way to protect her, and the girl acting stupid and being reckless just wanted to see the vampire, and when she were disappointed she turn to the werewolves instead, and then she turn back to the vampire when she knows the vampire was in danger. Lame and pointless =.=" Not to mention when Edward though that Bella was dead, he almost exposed himself just want the vampire committee (I don't know exactly what the committee were =.=") to kill him. What a misleading act to teach the youngsters! And it was totally pointless!! When you heard some story like that, about how a guy can't live without a girl he loved, it was suppose to be touching, but honestly, totally 0% touching.. I felt nothing at all. LAME!!!

The only thing I can give compliment to this movie is they didn't affect by the movie trend nowadays were people were just looking for visual effects, CGI, and massive explosions. That's the only good thing that I can think of this movie =.="

I rate this movie 4/10
No idea how this kind of story can get best selling novel.. My younger sister is one of the fan =.="
