THE DARK KNIGHT RISES (2012)


One of the smartest Directors of our generation is about to conclude his famous saga. Oh yes, you should anticipate what’s he going to do next. Christopher Nolan has built a superb franchise through two successful prequels “Batman Begins” (2005) and ”The Dark Knight” (2008). No wonder everyone is hyped about it and the excitement is rising high. The Batman character has changed a lot over the years. The two most important influences are Frank Miller’s graphic novel “Batman: Year One” (1987) and Tim Burton’s movie “Batman” (1989), not just changing the image entirely but also affecting today’s superhero movies. What I’m trying to say is you will soon witness a historic event as well. We are going to see the next phase of Batman’s transition. In thiz grand finale to an epic trilogy, Christopher Nolan definitely takes Batman to the whole new level. Christian Bale also deserves a credit for making Bruce Wayne character even more dynamic and attractive. Bale is certainly not just an ordinary Actor, he can play any character he wants, not just good, but great. I don’t know why Nolan takes so many risks by changing the winning formula. Spoiler Alert! There are more day scenes than night scenes, Bruce Wayne becomes poor, firing Alfred and other radical changes. As a matter of fact, it’s not Bat at all! I don’t feel like I have been watching Batman movie, it’s more like a typical Nolan’s movie that happens to be Batman in it. There is no doubt that the Joker was potrayed amazingly by the late Heath Ledger in ”The Dark Knight” (2008). Christopher Nolan himself knows very well that he should find something new, something phenomenal enough to replace it. Well, at least he has done half of his homework. Although the merciless masked villain Bane (Tom Hardy) is very terrifying, especially through his monstrous voice and intimidating appearance, but it is lack of character. Catwoman doesn’t leave any impression. Yes, she is still sexy but only physically. I can hardly remember anything besides Catwoman becomes Anne Hathaway, instead of the other way around. Better performances come from two Cast members of ”Inception” (2010), Marion Cotillard and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. It makes five of them, the others are Tom Hardy, Michael Caine and Cillian Murphy. The other regular Cast members are Gary Oldman as Commissioner Gordon and Morgan Freeman as Lucious Fox. In fact, in the middle of the story, the movie loses its track, too many unnecessary scenes, sometimes too wordy and almost flat out boring. Even worse, it’s compounded by one-dimensional fight choreography. Everytime Batman and Bane fight, it looks like B-Class movie. But I still think “The Bike Chase Scene” is spectacular. In the end, hey it’s Christopher Nolan! Of course, he saves something for the ending. Finally, I can say the epic concludes with a very classy way, typical Nolan’s twists and turns. It’s another ambiguous ending from him. Don’t you ever discuss it or you will find yourself in the middle of never-ending debate about what really happened at the end of “The Dark Knight Rises”. No more spoilers, find your own hints. Have a nice Bat!

THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN (2012)


Spidey is spicy than ever! Ready or not, here he comes. They take Spider-Man to ”The Dark Knight” (2008) level. Darker! More realistic! And more serious! But don’t get me wrong, thiz rebooted version has its own original style and identity. I hate to compare thiz one to the previous Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy (2002-2007) but I have to say something here. I have been a comic fan since I was a little boy. I’m certainly not a fan of the previous version. In fact, I have lots of disappointments and even more tons of complaints about it. I remember when the movie came out, I said to everyone, “Why they made Peter Parker to be some kind of Clark Kent’s character? The eye color should be hazel instead of blue. Peter Parker has thiz slang language thing, some kind of skateboard boy look-alike, and he is surely not geeky!” Well, they make up for it thiz time. “The Amazing Spider-Man” has better costume, better camera angles and even better hairstyle. Thiz is what Peter Parker should look like! Andrew Garfield is definitely a better Peter Parker, Garfield reveals the dark side of thiz character and it looks just amazing and humble at the same time. Emma Stone is solid as a rock, another perfect choice to represent Peter’s first true love Gwen Stacy. The Director Marc Webb creatively spreads his web all over these two characters. You can see there is something there between the interaction of Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy. There is a beautiful chemistry and sincere love between them! Just exactly what he has shown us in “(500) Days of Summer” (2009). The supporting Cast members also look amazing, Sally Field and Charlie Sheen as Aunt May and Uncle Ben, Denis Leary as Gwen’s father Captain George Stacy and Rhys Ifans as Dr.Curt Connors and his alter-ego The Lizard. And guess what? I think Marvel comic book creator Stan Lee finally makes his best cameo ever in thiz movie when he’s just listening to music on his headphones in the library fight scene. I’m also fascinated by how they pay homage not only to comic version but also to previous Spider-Man’s movies, Spoiler Alert! Only if you realize there’s a scene when Uncle Ben advises Peter, there is kind of “With great power comes great responsibilty” thing but in different words. And there is also a scene when Spider-Man has to choose to save a car from falling off a bridge or chase the bad guy. It simply makes everybody happy. I notice that they keep the Lizard’s figure to remain mysterious for almost half the length of the film and suddenly boom! The full appearance of Lizard comes out and it’s so frightening. Whether you realize it or not, most of the Spider-Man’s action scenes take place at night. There are a lot of night scenes, more than ever. It makes thiz version even more mysterious. I love how they capture those famous Spider-Man swingings with roller-coasting camera angle, it looks wow! And those Spider-Man’s cheesy lines just like in comics, “Hey watch out, I’m swinging here, I’m swinging here!” or “If you’re gonna steal cars, don’t dress like a car thief, man.” That’s the real Spider-Man! Well, One more thing to spoil. I just want to say, at the end of the movie, Spider-Man makes one great pose.

BATTLESHIP (2012)


Thiz “Battleship” is loaded with lots of missiles. It means that thiz movie is full of explosive action scenes. I notice that most of today’s movies have shown too much of its elements of surprise on the trailer to attract more audience. Oftentimes, it even happens like I have said before, “Sometimes what we saw in movie-trailer is what we saw in entire movie.” But don’t worry about that, it doesn’t apply to thiz movie. Thiz movie saves many super actions to make you stay put in your seat for two hours duration. The story revolves around the encounter of the US Navy’s warships and its allies with the mysterious alien mothership on the high seas of the Pacific Ocean. The biggest naval battle in history is about to begin. The sound effects are superb. Every boom and every bang from the ship’s cannon is just like dragging us into the middle of battle. Practically, thiz movie doesn’t even leave us a single breathing space since the first appearance of the alien. The next thing I know, the suspense is taut and it moves forward at a steady pace. The diversity of the Cast members is fascinating. I can undoubtedly say that Taylor Kitsch is on his way to becoming a massive star. Definitely, there’s something attractive behind his charismatic presence. Thiz is his second big-budget movie after "John Carter" (2012). Other performers worth mentioning are Brooklyn Decker who can be sexy and tough at the same time, Liam Neeson who delivers a brief but memorable performance, the famous pop singer Rihanna who makes a surprising debut, and not to be forgotten, an outstanding appearance from a real-life veteran Lieutenant Colonel Gregory D. Gadson as the Mike Tyson look-alike legless soldier named Mick Canales. In the middle of the movie, I almost thought that thiz movie was directed by Michael Bay, but with more freshness. Mr. Bay, I think you’ve finally got the perfect successor for your mega action brainless movies, the name is Peter Berg. Peter Berg is an Actor-Director who directed other fun action movies like “The Rundown” (2003), “The Kingdom” (2007) and Will Smith’s vigilante superhero “Hancock” (2008). Two dominant characters are Hopper and Nagata who quickly remind me of Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock’s figures in “Star Trek” (1966-1969). Nagata which is played by Tadanobu Asano makes a perfect tandem role with Hopper. I have to say, it’s very nice to see America and Japan side by side in a battlefield. But something philosophical tickles me. If you have the greatest weapon on earth and you feel obligated to seize other potential lethal weapons from the other sides in the name of peace. That seems like a good idea. Now, what if… What if there is a new weapon more powerful than yours. Do you still think that is a good idea?

THE AVENGERS (2012)


Why “The Avengers” could easily become a huge success? I think even some of you could answer thiz question. Thiz movie is the culmination of Marvel’s hard work over the past couple of years. The lucky guy who was appointed to direct thiz movie is Joss Whedon. The director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) initiates the Avengers initiative by assembling all the super humans to save the world from the powerful evil Loki (Tom Hiddleston). The storyline isn’t as dynamic as I think it is, there’s a time when the story is stuck and filled with unnecessary dialogue. The power of thiz movie obviously lies in its character interactions. Nick Fury is originally written as a white guy in the comic book but Samuel L. Jackson confidently steps in to play thiz character. Thiz isn’t the first time thiz has happened. It reminds me when Michael Clarke Duncan portrayed the overweight crime boss Kingpin in Ben Affleck’s “Daredevil” (2003) and I’m also so excited to see Laurence Fishburne as Clark Kent’s boss Perry White in upcoming Superman’s “Man of Steel” (2013). However, in thiz case, I didn’t see Samuel L. Jackson became Nick Fury, instead it was Nick Fury became Samuel L. Jackson. But in the end, it’s totally acceptable. Samuel L. Jackson is able to present a precise leadership aura to his Nick Fury’s character. Once again, I have to remind you, what makes thiz movie so interesting is when these superheroes gather around and interact with each other. We can see “The Duo Chris”, Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth who successfully demonstrate their muscular bodies, just like in “Captain America: The First Avenger” (2011) and “Thor” (2011). Thiz is how superheroes should look like! The brand new figures in thiz movie are the master archer Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) and the elegant Agent Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders who is widely known in “How I Met Your Mother” {2005-present}). The other figures who have been introduced since ”Iron Man 2” are the loyal Agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) and the sexy heroine Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson). Surprisingly, Scarlett Johansson has a fairly large part in thiz movie. Wait a minute, on second thought, if you have Scar Jo in tight sexy latex suit, of course you will exploit it more and more. If we’re talking about Iron Man, thiz is also one of the most interesting parts. It looks like Robert Downey Jr. have already fused into thiz Tony Stark’s character so deep, he can represent thiz self-centered character very well without any problem. But in thiz movie, the one who really becomes a scene stealer is the giant green rage monster named Hulk! Once again, it’s the Hulk’s character, not exactly Dr. Bruce Banner or Mark Ruffalo but it’s all of them in one. Some fresh and funny moments are obviously when Hulk is around. The most unfortunate thing is that they didn’t bring up the original founding team such as Ant-Man and The Wasp into the movie. In the end, I can confidently say that Marvel Comics seems to be one step ahead from its competitor DC Comics so far. Recently, thiz movie has ruled the box office chart and it turns out to be the earth’s mightiest blockbuster movie. You know what that means, right? Oh yeah, the next Avengers movie will be coming soon. Maybe next time Marvel Studios will enrich their universe with the presence of other superheroes like Quicksilver, Black Panther, Vision, Doctor Strange, She-Hulk, Wolverine, even Spider-Man. Are you ready for another one?

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - GHOST PROTOCOL (2011)


Light the fuse! Ethan Hunt was the one who ignited the fuse. What I remember most from Ethan Hunt’s character is that he was the man who killed Jim Phelps! Yes, “Mission: Impossible” (1966-1973) was a successful intelligent TV show, Jim Phelps (originally played by Peter Graves) was the leader of thiz highly sophisticated covert team, his charismatic presence had already become a trademark for thiz franchise. Then suddenly, in 1996, Tom Cruise who coming from nowhere, bought thiz franchise and killed Jim Phelps and replaced it with himself as the invincible super whiz named Ethan hunt. At that time, I was very mad and I thought many fans would feel the same. But now, after three previous movies “Mission: Impossible” (1996), “Mission: Impossible II” (2000), “Mission: Impossible III” (2006), including thiz last one, they seem to gradually transform thiz franchise to be a pure action movie, even though still with ultra-cool high tech gadgets. Not just the attractive gadgets, but also high-octane adrenaline stunts, just like thiz time Tom Cruise attempts to climb the world’s tallest building ever made so far, Burj Khalifa in Dubai. I heard that most of the dangerous stunts were done by Cruise himself. Thiz time, Ethan Hunt forms a smaller team comprising sexy, seductive and extremely lethal Jane Carter (Paula Patton), humorous computer genius Benji Dunn (Simon Pegg) and the mysterious co-agent William Brandt (Jeremy Renner). Its mission is to retrieve the nuclear launch codes before it gets into the wrong hands of international terrorists. In the process, instead, they are accused of masterminding the Kremlin bombing. Now the IMF is disavowed and they are forced to invoke Ghost Protocol, which means they are all alone with the limited resources they have. The Director is Brad Bird who is most renowned as one of the fathers of Pixar animation studios. Thiz is his first live-action movie after successful animations like “The Incredibles” (2004) and “Ratatouille” (2007). By the way, in 2012, Brad Bird’s other colleague Andrew Stanton also will be directing another live-action movie entitled "John Carter". Coincidence? Maybe. I have to admit that thiz movie has consistent paces since the first minute. I note that Tom Cruise repeats at least three specific actions that he has done in previous movies. The first is running from an explosion behind him, the second is climbing the iconic skyscrapers and the last one is taking cover when he is almost crushed by a car! Although it’s a kind of repetition, but oh yeah we still enjoy so much.As time goes by, it seems to be “Mission: Impossible” has transformed into pure action movie! The only thing left now is its famous instrumental theme song, or maybe the latex face mask, you must know what I mean. Other than that, thiz movie has always been Tom Cruise’s playground. Personally, I’m just OK with that, as long as thiz franchise can maintain its winning formula which is non-stop explosive action scenes. That’s all from me. Thiz review will self-destruct in five seconds. Goodluck, Ethan.

TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON (2011)


If most of the girls go crazy about “The Twilight Saga” (2008-2012), I think it’s totally OK if the boys have their own toys as well! All the boys need is insanely super cool robots and sexy girls. Thiz one is the third movie following “Transformers” (2007) and “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” (2009). The story still revolves around Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) and his new super sexy girlfriend Carly Spencer (Rosie Huntington-Whiteley). Thiz time, they have to uncover the mysterious origins of Autobots and Decepticons which later take them to a hidden fact when Apollo 11 landed on dark side of the moon 42 years ago. The movie featuring a real hero, the second person ever to walk on the moon, Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin. The Director is still Michael Bay. I aware that Michael Bay always has a young spirit in all of his movies, even in his war movie like “Pearl Harbor” (2001). But I also have to say most of his movies are always filled with exaggerated brainless actions and comically overacted characters like in “Bad Boys” (1995), “The Rock” (1996) and “Armageddon” (1998). If it’s not because of Steven Spielberg’s involvement as Executive Producer that contributes lots of technical elements, I think that thiz movie would have been easily forgotten. Yes, the detail of Special Effects is incredible. It’s very clear that the main attraction is on its robots. The Autobots consists of Bumblebee, Ironhide, Ratchet, Sideswipe, Dino, Brains, Wheelie and the leader Optimus Prime. They are back in action to fight for freedom. And the villainous side named Decepticon consists of Starscream, Shockwave, Soundwave, Laserbeak and the leader Megatron. All of them still dream of tyranny. The robots are voiced by some well-known Actors such as Hugo Weaving as Megatron and Star Trek’s Mr. Spock, Leonard Nimoy as Sentinel Prime. Thiz is one of the very rare cases which the robots have better performances than the human Actors. All actors are drawn to be unnecessary comical characters without exception, including John Malkovich, Patrick Dempsey, John Turturro, Frances McDormand, Ken Jeong and Tyrese Gibson. The model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has the same color of lipstick and hair, it doesn’t mean that she can instantly replace Megan Fox’s character. As you can see, she is there only to provide the visual pleasure, not acting. Julie White repeats her overacted performance as Sam’s mother, thiz is one of the ugliest actings you will ever see. Sam’s character is not lovable at all. I don’t know what Shia LaBeouf thinks when he delivers such a character. Sam is just a jerk with amazingly gorgeous girlfriend beside him. He looks so cocky and egoistic by always yelling and swearing during the entire film. It comes to my mind, maybe they need to get rid all of the human characters in next films, and let the robots deal with their own conflicts, just like what we had in original animated TV series “The Transformers” in 1984 to 1987. Thiz movie has shown that’s one step back for the Actors and one giant leap for the robots.

JOHN CARTER (2012)


To be honest, I really didn’t anticipate thiz movie until about three months ago, the trailer came out and had shown a whole new world of upcoming adventure. “Conan the Barbarian” (1982) meets ”Avatar” (2009) with “Star Wars” (1977-2005) background. Wow! And apparently thiz movie has filled the great expectations. His name is Virginia… Err, I mean John Carter! John Carter (Taylor Kitsch ) is a most wanted soldier in Civil War era who has found himself being transported to planet Mars in which he suddenly emerges in the midst of battle between the two warring clans and later falls in love with Princess of Helium, Dejah Thoris (Lynn Collins). It’s exactly 100 years after the novel was first published, “John Carter of Mars” has finally brought up to the silver screen. The novel was written by Edgar Rice Burroughs who is best known for his original creation of the jungle hero Tarzan. For the first half hour, the movie tells how John Carter settles his conflicts on earth. But after that, it's about how he finds himself waking up in Barsoom (or better known as Mars), where he can jump so high and exciting adventure is awaiting ahead. The two hours duration has gone pretty quick when you are glued since the first scene. The storyline flows confidently without any obstacles. I think it’s more because of thiz movie is directed by Andrew Stanton who has a bunch of experience as a screenwriter. Andrew Stanton is also known as one of the fathers of animation studio Pixar. In fact, thiz movie is his first live-action directing after “Finding Nemo” (2003) and “WALL-E” (2008). I don’t know what is really going on here, but recently some of those Pixar’s Directors have been come out to do the live action movies. Just like last year, Stanton’s colleague Brad Bird had directed Tom Cruise’s "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol" (2011). There’s kind of excitement by watching thiz adventure in which we don’t know where the story will lead us. Taylor Kitsch is a perfect choice for John Carter. He has some kind of aura and charisma to represent thiz hero figure. Thiz movie definitely will be a crucial stepping stone for Kitsch. Lynn Collins as Dejah Thoris can do both, she can be elegant like a lady and next she can be tough like a warrior. The 12-foot-tall creatures are voiced by many famous Actors such as Willem Dafoe, Thomas Haden Church and Mark Strong. I heard that thiz saga has 13 books in total. Thiz means there is a possibility thiz adventure will be extended again. In that case, I can be sure that I’ll be there when JC saves the mars again!

THE RAID: REDEMPTION (2011)


If America has Jean-Claude Van Damme, China has Jet Li and even Thailand has got Tony Jaa as their martial arts hero, now Indonesia has their own hero too. A new hero is born and his name is Iko Uwais! Thiz super action movie is the second collaboration with Welsh-born Director Gareth Evans since “Merantau” (2009) another great Indonesian movie. A group of tactical team has a mission to infiltrate into the most feared building in town, where in that place live the most notorious criminals. Thiz movie is pure adrenaline-pumping action from the very first minute. It’s flooded with brutal and jaw-dropping fight scenes. Iko Uwais has shown he can do both, dramatic expressions and electrifying moves all together. There are about 20 tactical team members, none of them leaves a special impression, except for Iko Uwais’s character and Joe Taslim as his team leader. But it is the bad guys who make memorable performances, most of them are scene stealers, especially for the big boss’s figure which is played very convincingly by Ray Sahetapy. Sahetapy successfully represents an eccentric and frightening character. Yayan Ruhian who plays as Mad Dog also deserves mention for his memorable performance. Ruhian is no less eccentric than his boss and sometimes comical. The other Cast members are Donny Alamsyah, Iang Darmawan and Pierre Gruno. The movie cleverly inserts some effective humor for interlude. The next thing is great cinematography and lighting, it’s very rare you have a decent cinematography in an action movie. It’s about 30 floors to go, each floor comprises unique bad guy’s characters, it instantly reminds me of Bruce Lee’s “Game of Death” (1978) only thiz time with “Saving Private Ryan” (1998) style. At a glance, thiz movie also reminds me of Tony Jaa’s movies like “Ong-bak” (2003) or “The Protector” (2005) but if you look more thoroughly you will realize that thiz movie also has its own originality. One of them is they have shown some Pencak Silat moves, the Indonesian martial arts discipline. In summary, the first half of the movie is filled with non-stop gun fighting and the other half is about martial arts showdown. If we talk about the ending, they obviously try to put a little twist at the end of the movie but it doesn’t seem to work quite well, it could have been better. I have to tell you, if you are one of the action fans and want to taste a different kind of atmosphere, then you've come to the right place to have fun. Let’s experience thiz Indonesian movie!

REAL STEEL (2011)


How to make boxing can be accepted by young children? In thiz case, the answer is “Real Steel”. The Director Shawn Levy cleverly turns the rough boxing matches into fun, passionate and enjoyable family adventure by presenting attractive and super cool Robot figures. Levy is previously known for “Cheaper by the Dozen” (2003) and “Night at the Museum” (2006). For me, he seems to know how to roll the dice of excitement. Besides being effective in constructing believable and powerful Robot fights, thiz movie also has a heartwarming story of father and son relationship. Charlie Kenton (Hugh Jackman) is a former professional boxer who turns out to be Robot-fight promoter, just met his 11-year-old son he never knew before, Max (Dakota Goyo). Instead of Charlie teaches life lessons to his son, Max. On the contrary, Max has been inspiring his father how to win World Robot Boxing championship, but more than that is about how to win life. There are some encouraging and gratifying scenes. One of them is when Max and his Robot Atom show their dance moves. On the other side, I can almost say thiz is probably the most humane character that ever played by Hugh “Wolverine” Jackman. While the father’s character looks troubled and typical anti-hero, but it’s relatively effective to gain sympathy. Spoiler Alert! The final scene reminds us of first “Rocky” (1976) where the hero didn’t have to win the match, but he certainly has won the heart of audience. Max shows his big heart by saying, “People’s champion? Sounds pretty good to me.” Robots with a heart? Awesome!

SOURCE CODE (2011)


“I took your advice… It’s a very good advice.” is the first sentence that you will hear over and over again. I always love a good movie that could provoke debate and controversy among viewers. Considering all of the twists and turns, thiz movie is one of those. The opening scene directly brings us to Capt. Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal) who finds himself wakes up in a train. Afterward, in front of him, a beautiful girl named Christina (Michelle Monaghan) talks to him. Some events happen such as a soda water splashes to his shoes, the train conductor checks up his ticket and some more details, and finally ends up exactly eight minutes ahead when the train explodes! And then Capt. Stevens wakes up again, thiz time is in a capsule at a mysterious place named Beleaguered Castle, where he meets the project administrator Lt. Colleen Goodwin (Vera Farmiga) and her supervisor Dr. Rutledge (Jeffrey Wright). That is the first piece of our puzzle, afterward we will be gathering piece by piece of information that takes us to mysterious world of time travel. Gyllenhaal shows his star quality here, he can deliver the leading role very well, his confusion and integrated expression successfully takes us up and down during the movie. Farmiga brings her potential talent to maximum level by delivering her investigating expression and she looks gorgeous as always. And finally Monaghan is an extra sweetener for the story. But once again, the power of thiz movie is in the intriguing storyline. It’s promising at the first and mind-blowing at the end. It’s a pure classic thriller with futuristic details, The man behind it is Duncan Jones who also directed science fiction thriller ”Moon” in 2009. Although there are some repetitive scenes, the storyline is actually very dynamic. After three quarters of the film, we still don’t have a single clue where the story might lead us. Finally, we come to the interesting part of thiz movie. Well, you know thiz movie mentions “Quantum Theory” to explain how things happen. It easily reminds us of the famous TV series “Quantum Leap” (1989-1993), where Sam Beckett (Scott Bakula) was always told woke up on different body in every episode. Guess what? Scott Bakula appears as a Cameo in thiz movie by contributing his voice as Stevens’s father when he speaks over the phone. And guess what again? Some things will never change, Bakula starts the conversation with his famous line,“Oh, Boy!...” If you were not even aware of that before, I think you should see it all over again. Do you think it would be a very good advice?
