Noah (2014)
A sea of suspense that lacks logic
28 July 2014
I don't understand why people hate this movie. I understand how it's pretty stupid but it still manages to entertain the viewer as well build a great amount of suspense in the 3rd act. Also props to Russell Crowe and Emma Watson for delivering great performance. Everyone else... Meh! The story is about Noah and how he is shown by god that a flood would be arriving soon due to how badly humankind has evolved. Noah and his family then go and visit Methuselah,played wonderfully by Anthony Hopkins who gives Noah his insight to building an ark. On the way Noah finds Ila who is injured badly and is unable to conceive. From there his family takes care of her and one of Noah's sons falls in love with her. 15 or so years later when Noah has almost finished building the ark a king comes and threatens him. Then the flood hits and chaos ensues with a great 3rd act and a suspenseful battle. The animals in the film looked quite unrealistic but the scene where the flood hits is outstanding and awesome. You are also introduced to these rock transformers who look cool but awfully unnecessary for a biblical film. There is also a great battle which includes them in it. The film is also enjoyable but quite slow in parts. The story is very nice and entertaining but has trouble in the 1st act by being way too slow. The 3rd act was awesome though. The script is pretty clichéd and stupid but if you endure these things you can have a good time with this film. The acting is also good but I still think that Logan Lerman is forced and too shy but he was good in the 1st Percy Jackson film. in this he didn't suit the role

Man of Steel (2013)
Pure Entertainment like the Metal itself
24 June 2013
When Kal-el, the son of Jor-el is sent to earth when his home planet Krypton is destroyed, he has to cope with the benefits of being a superhero and learning who he is to overcome his fears of the world around him and the villain he faces, General Zod. The fact that the superhero is not Superman just boosts up the score of much I liked this film. In this film Clark Kent is Kal El who is much better known as the Man of Steel. They spent loads of money on the action scenes which is quite overrated as they weren't as good as other action sequences but still make you jump up with joy and make you feel like flying around the cinema with Kal El during the movie (Even in 3D). At parts Man of Steel does bore you but gets away with it in time for you to get back on track with the movie and follow its circumstances. The plot was very good especially in the end. It has quite a few twists and turns that work in different ways but my favourite one was the one at the very end which I won't spoil in case you are going to see the film soon. The dialogs were very strong especially from Kal – El, General Zod and basically everyone else in this film. Henry Cavill as Kal-El was a good choice and Russell Crowe also does his 20 minutes of the film well but the person who's highly commendable in this film is Michael Shannon as General Zod. He's not the best villain but he does his role as good as it can get.
