DOUBLE RUMBLE Movie Reviews: "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" and "Star Trek"

OK! This is the first (and hopefully the last time) that I will fit in two movie reviews into one article.

So, without further ado, let me present the movie reviews!

X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE



OK. This movie is explicitly straight-forward. Wolverine is "immortal", becomes the Adamantium-skeletoned "WEAPON X", blah blah blah.

But before we go to the commotion that we have already known, the movie gave us more than we bargained for.

It gives an insight to his extended lives, romances, and above all, how he became the Wolverine that we all know and love.

Whatever the case, this movie have some flaws that needed to be explained.

For this, I give a 4/5.



It's not bad, but it has some missing plot holes that have yet to be filled. Thankfully, a sequel is on the way.


Next, we have another movie review!

STAR TREK



A reboot to the Star Trek franchise, I must say that it was a sudden disaster. I like how J.J. Abrams delivers the movie in the right direction by respecting to all the Star Trek mythos.

HOWEVER, I feel that the movie is Star Warsy for some reason.

Anyway, to sum it all up:

New timeline with screws gone loose!

Kirk's father died, thanks to Captain Nero, an asshole who travels back in time.

Kirk becomes an asshole, Spock becomes an asshole, everyone else follow suit.

It's a funhouse gone mad!

Anyway, enough of the biasness. Let's go for a retrospective insight.

To be honest, the movie delivers. It is great for the general audience and the new trekkies. But for the hardcore trekkies, this movie is really hard to swallow.

For this, I give it a 3/5 (sorry J.J. Abrams)



It's a damn good movie, but it's on par with Cloverfield (It's that mediocre)


For that, I sum'd up this article with a big thank you!

Hopefully I can make more reviews in the long run.

Till then, have a happy spring season!

Notorious (2009 film)

OK! Now this movie really takes the cake.

Notice that unlike some shit-fest that involves pop stars, Notorious takes you to a world of Hip-Hoppers, Rappers, and the likes of people involving themselves to some crazy shit.

This movie is about the life and legacy of Christopher Wallace k.a. Biggie Smalls a.k.a. The Notorious B.I.G.

It has a griping story of how to overcome adversity in the time of need.

It is a coming of age story that really inspires me to do some things in life that are considered "too fucked up" to do so. I mean going into the entertainment scene, even if I know that it is life-threatening to a certain extent.

Anyway, the movie also featured several famous people, including but not limited to 2Pac, Sean "Diddy" Combs, Faith Evans, Lil' Kim, etc.

So, this movie gains my respect.

And as a tribute, I'll award this movie a 21-star ovation.

R.I.P. Christopher Wallace / Biggie Smalls / The Notorious B.I.G.

All salute to this fine man.

Twilight (2008 film)

Finally! Here's the review of "Twilight" for the Ultimate Media Freak!

As you can see, this is a vampire romance film.

And I must say, it really is hard for me to describe this film in a review form.

So, I'm gonna put it blunt and simple.

It was really good. It had depth and story. Most important of all, it was WAY better than the novel itself.

How was it better than the novel?

In a way, it really portrayed the setting and the characters in a more vivid environment.

So, it really was made into a good film.

And yes, of all the movies I have reviewed this year, this will be labelled "The Ultimate Media Freak Movie Event of the Year 2008"!

So, I'm gonna give this an ultimate score of 10 out of 10 stars! WOOT!



And by the way, keep a lookout for this show. I'll be doing more than just movie reviews. I'll be doing game reviews, and more music reviews.

And hopefully, I will get to start a video version of the show soon.

and this has been "The Ultimate Media Freak".

Have a happy Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

P.S. Whoever the fucktard said that Twilight was bad *ahem*BUM!*ahem*, go and fuck yourselves to shame!

This movie deserves an Oscar for the efforts being put into it!

Cicak-Man 2: Planet Hitam

OK!

I know I should have reviewed "Winx Club: The Secret of the Lost Kingdom", but I might as well review its DVD when it is out. Since most cinemas have already taken the movie out of the roster.

However, there is another movie in which I find awesome to say the least.

"Cicak-Man 2: Planet Hitam" is a superhero movie that defines the action in an action movie.

OK, OK. I know I am using the formula "X Y is X". I just use that for the lulz. Intentionally.

Anyway, the movie started with a big bang! Seriously.

The character portrayal in this movie is really solid. The dialogue in this one is more multi-lingual. The action sequences are way too awesome!

The depth of the story? Needless to say that the storyline in this one is more politically-driven and personal issues spread like wildfire!

In fact, think of it as a clash of "Hancock" VS "Spider-Man" VS The Real World.

Yes! It's a triple threat, ladies and gentlemen.

Well, it's more of a Fatal-4-Way between Cicak-Man, Professor Klon, Rrama and The Ginger Ghosts. (Spoiler Alert!)

And yes, it is way better than the first one.

Still, if only Cicak-Man reveals his true identity to Tania!

Well, it's just wishful thinking.

Anyway, here is my score on this movie.



A perfect score once again!

5 out of 5!

Thank you.

P.S. Seriously, it's worth your time.

The X-Files: I Want To Believe

OK! Now, it's time to review another film.



Well, I'm not gonna spoil anything.

But one thing is certain. This film is a standalone sequel to the TV series, meaning that this film still retains their storyline, but the details are not related to their alien mythos. Instead, they are dealing with something inhumane and questionable.

I'm not gonna say what it is. You have to find out.

Also, as a teaser, there will be a romantic twist of a plot in the end of this film.

And be sure to stay behind during the credits. There will be something interesting there.

Anyway, the character development here is solid. However, the plot got lost halfway through the entire film, making it "broken".

So, A rating of 4/5 should do justice.
