The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones (2013)

Wow

[9/10 · 28 August 2013]

This film is amazing everyone needs to see it. I have not read the books but I am definitely going to read it now and the rest of the books. I am so glad I when to see it.

The charters are great and the actors play all the parts brilliantly. I think this film has a bit of everything for everyone. If you like Harry Potter then see this film, I am not a huge fan of Harry Potter so I was surprised I liked it so much.

The only point I would say is that some people might find it hard to follow and some parts are a little bit jumpy nearer the end but if the story wasn't complicated then the movie wouldn't have been as good.

This film has romance but is does not go over the top, is has action, suspense, thrill, adventure, a little bit Sic-Fi and mystery. Just a bit of everything.

If you are reading this review you must see this film.

The Host (2013)

As good as the book :)

[9/10 · 4 April 2013]

I read the book a while ago and thought it was great and a brilliant storyline which nobody has really made a books like it. I wanted it to become a film and when it did I couldn't believe it.

I was very surprised that the film was as good as the book because if you read the book first you wonder how they could possibly turn the story into a film. It is so complicated.

I was expecting the film to be rubbish because the book is massive longer than twilight breaking dawn which has been made into two films so I thought that the film would go really fast but it didn't and i don't think they could have made the film any better.

Great film and would recommend people to go watch it and if not read book yet I would recommend reading it as well.

The Bourne Identity (2002)

Great

[7/10 · 8 February 2013]

This is a great film which I would recommend to anyone who loves action films and the spy type of film. This is not like the normal type of spy film it is very different to most of the others. This makes it a must see. One thing that let it down was the car action which you could tell was fake but apart from that the film was spotless. You didn't actually see him doing his job and his task, instead you got him running away from the people he work for that are trying to kill him. The actors in the film are great they play the roles really good and that the thing seem real like you are in the actual film and part of the people in the film. It is gripping near the end and you just want to know what happens and if he is going to die.

I Am Number Four (2011)

Good film

[8/10 · 3 February 2013]

It was a good film I wouldn't say the best it could have been better but the actors were really good the book was better because the film seemed to go really quick it should have been longer so they could fit it all in a bit more.

I think the relationship between Henri and John could have been friendlier like in the book it didn't go as well as the books relationship. Sarah and john also fall in love a little to easy in the film but I think when she finds out hes an alien the film is better than the book because it's a bit more believable.

I really want them to make another film because I want to see what happens and it not just for one audience it for the whole family boys, girls, men and women. I have seen Twilight and I love those films but I think this is not like twilight not as much romance and twilight is only for teenagers and women whereas this is for everyone.

Top Gun (1986)

Great

[10/10 · 3 February 2013]

Only just watched it but still great it doesn't age. Tom Cruz is great in it and the all the actors are really good at what they do. Not cheesy this film is serious and action packed. Sometimes its hard to see who is flying the planes and which ones are the bad guys but great anyway and that is only a very small but of the film.

I would recommend it to anyone who likes action and Tom Cruz especially. I would also recommend it to anyone who like adventure and has a little romance as well.

I love the graphics they are great and I can't wait to see if they will make another one but they don't have to because it doesn't need another one although it would be good to see what it is like if they made one in the future of what happened to the charters

Remember Me (I) (2010)

Amazzing

[6/10 · 16 December 2012]

This is one of the greatest movies ever made. Firstly Robert Pattinson is great in it the best actor for the role but all the other actors are great as well they all bring the film together.

The film is so dramatic because at the end you don't see it coming it is great the end surprises you so much. You will cry it is so sad, I cried for half and hour after the film because you just don't expect it. I want to watch it again but so glad I saw it at home and not in the cinema because I would have been crying for ages. At the end he dies and it makes it even more sad that its Robert Pattinson. I recommend you go see it but at home.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 (2012)

Amazzing

[7/10 · 28 November 2012]

It is the best film in the Twilight saga, i loved the rest but this one tops all of the movies I have ever watched. Great effects and great plot bit different from the book but it makes it better than the book, all the best bits from the book are in it but also there are bits that you want to happen in it so it makes it even greater.

If you love Twilight you will love this film it has everything and I know I may sound cheesy saying its great but it really is. I advice everyone to see it even if you don't like twilight. It also has a good ending which is always good if it the last one and it ties all the films together so nothing is left out.

Dear John (I) (2010)

So Sad

[8/10 · 21 November 2012]

This is one of the saddest films I have ever watched, I have never read the book but I love the film. the Actors are great and really make the film. I have watched the film twice now and both times I have cried at it, it is so sad and I think even people who don't cry at films will cry at this film.

The film is one of those films that people cannot miss if you miss even a short minute of it you will not know what is happening everything is relevant to the story. this is good because you don't get bored of it, you have to be watching all the time. I think the film could be better at the end and tell us a little bit more and if they got back together to if they just meet by chance again.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 (2011)

loved it

[6/10 · 20 November 2012]

This film is great, seen all the Twilight saga they are all great. I don't know if this is the best film out of all of the Twilight saga, I think that the first film is probably the best. but love this film I think it is quite bloody in places and makes you cringe at part when she is giving birth but other wise it is great. The start is different not like the other films because it goes straight into the film. it is happy at the start but gets worse as it goes along. I would warn people that it does leave you on a dramatic end and you want to know what happenes next. which is very annoying if you have to wait a year to see the next film in the saga, lucky I got warned about this and waited until breaking dawn part 2 was nearly out so I didn't have to wait as long.

Taken 2 (2012)

Good but not Great

[6/10 · 12 October 2012]

I have never seen the first movie taken so I didn't really know what to expect but my friends said that the first one was good so I went with them to see the second one they had told me what the first one was like and it sounded good. I watched it and thought that it was good not great but it was worth the money as I only paid £4.00 because I has orange Wednesday but I wouldn't have paid anymore. My friends said after, that the first film was better but I would recommend it because it was good but don't get your hopes up if you have already seen the first one and expected this one to be better because it isn't. I don't think they should have made another film because it is basically the same as the first but a different person gets taken.

Snow White and the Huntsman (2012)

Great movie

[9/10 · 8 June 2012]

Great movie recommend it to everyone I think everyone in the film did a great job and the actors are all really good Kristen Stewart is very good at the English accent, and plays a very different role than she did in twilight with Bella. I loved both movies and they are very different from each other. In Twilight she is relying on everyone but in snow white and the huntsman she is the strong one and people rely on her. I found it very sad in some parts when one of the dwarfs dies and also when you think she has died before she wakes up. It is quite scary for younger children also because you see quite a lot of sword fighting but it needs to be there to make the film good and flow. The film is not that complicated but it could be if you are not very good at believing in the super natural.
