Dean (6927 KP) rated Rambo (Rambo IV) (2008) in Movies
Apr 7, 2018
This is a very good enjoyable , but simple film, even for a action film the plot couldn't be more straight forward. Yes this is far more violent, bloody and gory than the previous three. Done very realistically as well similar to the scenes on the beach in saving private ryan. A brutal bloody film and entertaining as a modern day action film. Despite his years Stallone's character is believable in this and he doesn't over do any stunts, action unlike some of the other Rambo films. Well worth seeing if you have seen the others or not.

Unexpectedly good
Ok I wasn't sure I was going to like it. The beginning didn't endear me to the characters, and seemed a bit too far fetched even for a fantasy novel. However I kept reading and found myself not wanting to put it down. The author writes in a rich descriptive poetic style, very beautiful at times and when it's not, it's mildly funny and a little crude.
It certainly does not lack depth in any of the characters, which was what concerned me at the beginning. The plot is skilfully woven together and left me wanting more.

fantastic read
This is the fifth book in this series by this author. This book will have you laughing, crying and wanting more with every page you read. I loved everything about this book, this is my favourite so far in this series. This book has romance, suspense and a touching story line. I really loved the characters, they were really well written. This is the perfect single parent romance story. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended read

I as saying it is alright - I have only just started playing it though, The main character is a small mouse which is quite cute but and here is the big but, you have to collect stars to carry out quests in order to carry on with the story just like many others, in this case the maximum level of stars you can obtain per level is 3 but so far the minimum number of stars neeed to fulfill a task is 7, so work that out. Will see how it progresses before I get too bored.

Brilliant Story (2 more)
Great Acting
Proper Kick Ass
That's how you do a superhero movie!
I've always known Wonder Women as a huge icon in the DC franchise however with limited spotlight in over the last 20 years she was kinda off my radar - until I saw this! The movie is fantastic, It's got a great story (believable) and just the right amount of superhero action to appreciate what they are capable of. Gal and the team did a superb job and I can even go as far to say it is probably one if my all time favourite superhero movies. Loved it
Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated The Protector (Sons of Texas, #2) in Books
May 7, 2019
this is the second book in the series, this is a continuing story and picks up where book one finishes. This is a romantic suspense story with plenty of romance to keep you reading long into the night. The characters were fab and you will fall in love with them from the start. This series so far has everything you need, action, mystery, romance and lots of chemistry. I cant wait to read more from this author in the future.

The technology on show (1 more)
Good SFX for the budget
A great Upgrade
I saw this the other night after seeing good reviews for it. I'm not sure if it got a cinema release in the UK? It's a great Australian made film. A bit like a sci-fi Deathwish mixing humans with advanced Ai technology and body enhancements. The technology shown in the film, set in the near future, is really good and not far from what is available. This made the film more interesting. Throw in some good action and SFX and you have a great film that went under the radar.

Not what I expected
I was recommended this book by a friend as I enjoyed Jane Eyre. Was not sure what I was expecting when I started this but I have to say I was disappointed. Whereas the premis was good and it was an interesting thought to explore 'Mrs Rochester' the bok was far too short and I felt what could have been a great exploration of a character fell way short. The narrative was all over the place using first and third perspectives. Worth a read if you want something quick to pass the time.

Great songs (1 more)
The hugely talented Mr Jackman
Amazing
A constant stream of powerful, catchy songs all accompanied by fantastic choreography and eye popping visuals. Hugh Jackman is brilliant as showman P T Barnum, as is Zac Efron and everyone else. I really couldn't find fault with this as far as entertainment value goes. My daughter has been playing the soundtrack and singing the songs ever since we saw the movie and that's fine by me (for now!). It's wonderful when a movie comes along with the power to entertain and affect you long after leaving the cinema.

Awesome remake of a horror classic
There isn't really anything bad to say about this film despite a lot of critisism of the CGI effects of Pennywise the dancing clown. I, however disagree and believe that this version was far more chilling than the first version. Pennywise was back on form with his creepy and outright terrifying behaviour. The plotline rarely strayed from the original script and the cast did well to keep you engrossed in the movie. I thoroughly enjoyed this film and was quite excited when I picked up the dvd yesterday.
