In my technology and everything in between blog, i mentioned that i've recently watched thor and this is the place for me to do my film reviews so let's do it.
Since i watched the avengers just over two weeks ago, i thought i'd catch up on the other marvel hero films. As i watched the avengers, i realised that i've missed out on some key elements that i missed on why things happened but mainly i missed out on the story and was slightly confused.
Thor was actually a really good film, better than expected actually, it featured a entire city built in 3D which was pretty good and the water effects running through the rainbow roadwas stunning. The massive build up to the gatekeeper wasn't really worth it, they made the gate to another realm a very secure and special place but coming from a 3D animator the entire effect of the gate spinning and spinning until it reached the point of thor and the other members being transferred to another realm felt cheap:-
Create a sphere
Cut some holes out
Modify the geometry
Apply the different maps.
Now when i saw the film was released in 2011, i don't remember there being that many trailers out for it, it's marvel didn't have that much faith in the film and they only put the film into the series to fill in the backstory of Thor and Loki. I don't remember being many trailers for Thor, i remember being many trailers for Iron Man and Captain america: The first avenger but none for Thor... Strange.
If you look at Thor as a stand-alone film, it's disappointing for the entire you're waiting for an epic fight scene between Thor and Loki but it just fails to come, There's a few fight scenes in Thor but they were nothing like the Avengers or Iron Man. The entire reason i watched this film was to pick up on the back story each people's characters in the film, So what they could have done in the avengers was tell a little bit of the back story to Thor.
A few of the people that were in Thor didn't make another apperance in the avengers and it clearly said in the Thor that Thor was going to make another visit to earth just for Natalie Portman's character Jane foster, a few of a farmilar faces returned to the big screen was Erik Selvig and he's the scientist at the beginning of the film where he's testing the cube that gives off massive levels of radiation, well the scientists gets possessed/hyptized by Loki and his staff.
Sorry for the late review but i'll catch up on them soon

The dictator review
Well now that i've watched the dictator, it wasn't really that good at all, i'm not a big fan of sasha baron cohen's work, I like borat but not to the extent that I was laughing my ass off. Bruno wasn't entertaining at all and don't forget about his first major film... Ali g in da house.
I thought the dictator could have made a difference between his others films. His usual line up of films him disturbing other people, playing games on them without even knowing and this was pretty clever but the dicator has a proper storyline and plot but in my opinion, the storyline was too cliche, it's the standard for james cameron films, make a film based on something and then create a love story entwined that involves one half not being able to go after the other half.
I was very very disappointed of the film, it failed to wow me and to be honest it was a waste of 3 pound... Thank god we went on cheap Tuesdays. Everything that was ha ha funny was shown in the trailers and everything was expected. There was a few clever jokes included like talking about the civil rights being a joke. i'm not the most racist man but even I found that the racism in the dictator was going too far.
Some of the funniest bits were really predictable not because I saw it in the trailers before hand but because they were easily guessing moments that any film maker could think of and it felt like they had no creativity towards the film.
Comedy films are way funnier if you don't watch the trailers because they give away most if the funny bits in the trailers. This is exactly what I did for hangover 2, I never watched the trailer and I found hangover 2 more enjoyable not that it was interesting in the first place because it was most of the same formula that was in hangover 1.
One scene that really made me awkward was a scene where he started playing with himself for the first time. Sure it was funny that he's never jacked off before but that scene was dragged out until you were cringing for the scene to go off. They used a video clip from forest gump where forest is wearing his leg braces and the moment when the leg braces start to break and tear apart.
The funniest bit of the film was when allaheed and natal were in the helicopter speaking in their native language while there was an elderly english couple. They were describing the porche 911 and the empire state building and the old english couple took it as they were going to blow it up and started screaming and aware the authority that they were going to blow up the statue of liberty.
Thanks for reading, if you're a big fan of sasha baron cohen and you don't want to lose the reputation you have for this man well... I'd say don't watch it.

Films reviews introduction
I'm a huge films fan and i'd like to start a new blog that's not just about technology but i'd like to start review films as a seperate blog so i don't get them mixed up between technology news and rants.
i watch a lot of films so it would be really really hard if i reviewed them all and wrote about them in this blog. so every week i'll be bringing out a new review on a film that i've watched that week, this could vary from films from the 1960's to now.
this is just the opening blog and i'll be watching a film on monday so monday will be my first official blog on film reviews.
i've wanted to do film reviews for quite a bit now and instead of mixing them up with my technology rants, i'd rather do a full entire different blog.
thanks
