The Avengers

A perfect assemble of superheroes - The Avengers.

        After a long time of waiting finally The Avengers is released. I have waiting for this movie from last 3 years. Iron man series is one of my favorite superhero series and I love to see every movie in which Iron man was there. So after long time I went to cinema hall with my cousin and watched the assemble of 4 superhero Hulk, Thor, Iron man, Captain America to save the world with help of Director Nick Fury and his agents Black Widow and Hawkeye.

        As movies starts it is more concentrated to storytelling and linking of the previous movies Ironman 2, Captain America: The First Avenger, Thor and Hulk. The first half part is summoned of these superheroes. Another part is packed with superb visual effects and sound effects also dialogues are awesome. Especially Ironman’s dialogues are hilarious and quick witted.

        The movie is well balanced with story and action scenes some movies are failed to adopt this phenomenon such as Transformers 3 Dark side of moon and Ghost rider 2 spirit of vengeance. These movies are concentrated to only special effects and lacked in story whereas The Avengers has overcome from this. Phase 2 sounds like a another part of the Avengers that is part 2. Action sequences are well edited and directed. Captain America is the captain of Avengers and give orders. Use of Hulk's power is very good, even Hulk is doing some comedy scene, beating  Loki is one of the most funny scene. It seems it is a best time pass movie of superheros. Yes some critics are saying that less story, not synchronized characters, more attention on action, imbalance, faults in action scene blah.. blah.. blah..!! but do not forget that critics are known for finding fault and critics, it is their job to find faults, and believe me friends if you ask to a thief why you have to  thieve, He will give a numbers of excuses and reasons then you sure be realize that he is not guilty. So my point is, there will not be fully perfection, so forget about what critic says and watch the earth's mightiest heroes in theater. Enjoy !!!

        This is one of the best action movie, watch it in theatre that would be better than home. So go to cinema hall spend money it's worth it.

Hugo

An entertainment for entire family.

Hugo is a story about an orphan boy who lives at Paris Montparnasse Station’s platform and work in a clock tower of the platform. Based on a novel “The Invention of Hugo Cabret” by Brian Selznick.

After death of Hugo’s father in a fire at the museum, his uncle takes him to a big clock at station where he used to maintain the working of clock. After teaching all the work Hugo’s uncle left him alone there and did not return later he is found dead. For living Hugo used to steal foods from the station, and he also steals mechanical parts from a Toy Store to complete his father’s Automaton (Mechanical Robot) which is not working and his father wants to repair it as his father is a watchmaker.

One day Hugo is caught by Toy Store owner and Store owner took notebook of Hugo in which working of the Automaton is written. Hugo follows the shop owner in seek of his notebook then he met to Isabelle, granddaughter of Store Owner, who promise to help Hugo. 

Later Hugo fix the Automaton then Hugo and Isabelle tragically came to know that Store Owner is, a great director of early movies, known as Georges Melies.

First time I saw this movie then I thought if this movie would made in 3D it would be a great movie because I love the scenery, camera work and cinematography that are awesome, later I came to know that movie was made in 3D.

Entire movie is a great work of camera, cinematography and photography. Visual effects are too good and sound effects are also good. Acting, directing and editing is also beautiful. Everything is well balanced. Hugo had won several Oscar, Bafta and Academy awards also. I love this adventure drama film. Total entertainment for a entire family. Watch this on Sunday with family everyone appreciate your choice.

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance

Only For action and special effects lovers.

Ghost Rider : Spirit of Vengeance is just an action thriller movie specially made for action loving audience not for all types of audience. Whereas Ghost Rider is a superb movie and loved by all types of audience.

This movie have a simple story and did not connected to previous Ghost Rider. A lady Nadya (Violante Placido) tries to save her son Danny (Fergus Riordan) from a devil named Roarke (Ciaran Hinds) with the help of Moreau (Idris Elba). As Danny is son of Roarke and also posses power of his father, his father wants to take Danny’s body on Danny’s birthday because he is getting old and weak so he wants a new body to live on earth.

Moreau wants to help Nadya and her son and wants to hand over Danny to monks, but he fails so he finds out the Johnny Blaze a Ghost Rider (Nicolas Cage) and makes a deal that if Johnny protects the son he will free his spirits from the Ghost Rider’s curse. Later Johnny again gets the curse from the son Danny and movie gets the high quality Visual effects actions scene and ends.

About acting, all of the characters of this movie had done worst acting ever, nobody likes their acting. As movie goes on you will think that this is the murder of Ghost Rider comic character. Only special effects can not bring life to a movie. Who likes to see action movie without any proper story and proper editing, acting and just wants to see actions, this movie will be good for them.

Editing of the movie is not good, even storyplay is bad. Cinematography and photography of the movie is very good because it have lots of special effects. Background music is also good.

Overall it’s a normal movie and only for one time watch, sure action lovers can watch it twice thrice and many times. If you are Ghost Rider fan and loves this kind of movie so watch it atleast one time, otherwise don’t waste your time.
