Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters (2013)

Today I'll be reviewing the movie Sea of Monsters directed by Thor Freudenthal.

If you've watched the first title, The Lightning Thief and thought t'was beautiful and great, well then you're right; but if you think the sequel will be the same as the first or even surpass it, you have it all wrong.

Unfortunately unlike the first, the hype for this "mythological stuffs" have disappeared somewhere, and speaking of mythological stuffs, there are only few creatures seen in the entire movie, the manticore like hybrid, the big ass sea monster, the  Khalkotauroi and the Cyclops and of course the Titan Kronus but hey, what about the action scenes? All I can say is that the son of Poseidon, Percy didn't utilize his power that much, no water bending stuffs and the swordplay is so cheesy, I didn't even caught up in the movie and come to think I like this kind of stuffs! Greek stuffs! But sad to say this one totally disappointed me.

Immortals (2011)

Before watching the Immortals I was like expecting some magical stuff especially in the trailer I saw the Gods interfere with mankind and I was like: "Bring on the Thunder Baby!" But then the movie surprised me and the Man Skirt really a fad those days! Hahaha!

I am really a fan of Greek Story stuffs that's why I watch every one of them (I hate reading it especially when there is no pictures). Since I've watched Clash of the Titans, I can't help to think in this movie, where ARE the Immortals? or Where are the Titans? Should it be...you know, Huge and Freaky?

The movie is nice and compelling and I really loved the fighting scenes. I can't even imagine how they managed to pull those stunts and come to think of it the scene somehow resembles of 300. But then again it was brilliantly executed.

Drag me to Hell (2009)

Drag me to Hell is a Thriller movie, directed by Sam Raimi.The story about a Loan officer evicting an old gypsy out of her house due to her outstanding loans making the gypsy mad and bestowed a "Lamia" curse onto Christine Brown, the Loan Officer. Bearing a  3-day curse and escalates the torment as days pass down and on the third day, Lamia will bring her soul down to hell.

The movie was nice, has some really good shocker which caught me off guard. The entrance of the movie was nice too, Its so...catchy. The effects are nicely done but the manipulation of the ghost which is on the kettle scene at the Kitchen, its just too obvious  didn't liked it and i wasn't convinced in the acting in that scene. Also the scene where Christine was being thrown around in the air, ugh I swear she acts like "uh-oh, what did  I missed?"

Although this movie has some goofy things but I must say, I am entertained by them! 

I mean look at this Nose Blood Spray, can she still be breathing after that? And what about that Oral Fisting? Whoa....

Imma spray this to you SIR!

Okay Christine, open WIDE!

Anyways, bottom line, the movie is indeed great, but the acting was not so filling but watchable though! I like the witch, she really suits her role. Just a normal Horror-flick.

Clash of the Titans (2010)

Clash of the Titans is an action-adventure movie (what do you else expect from a greek mythology movie?). From the director Louis Leterrier he remade a the same title from 1981, quite cool though I've only watched the trailer of the 1981 movie.

The movie Clash of the Titans is sure a nice hit and the effects really captivates me (not mentioning some fantasy movie whose special effects are..."unspeakable." You know what I mean)

The acting, effects, and oh the environment, I can barely tell which scenes are taken from a blue/green screen! All of them all looked real! Love it. The special effect and the animation is all fabulous. The giant scorpion almost looked real as well as the Gargoyles too! 

Clash of the Titans tell the story of Perseus, demi-god son of Zeus and the one who have slain the Medusa. He's the one who rides on a Pegasus with the head of a Gorgon.

Actually, the reason for me to watch this movie is because of Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, I am really fascinated about Greek Gods, well, not to compare; both movies are great and a must to see these if you are interested in Greek myth stuffs.

My Comment:

The movie is great, really awesome its just that I've put much expectations to this one for the title says "Clash of the Titans" and i was expecting more of a "Titan" stuffs; like the Clash of the Gods of the Old, Gaia, Cronus, Oranos etc. For me, the title of misleading for the creatures that appeared in this movie were not Titans but just another creature, a Kraken is not a Titan.

Overall, this is a great movie with a great setting, have some nice actors and nice execution. I'll rate this as 4 stars, not that perfect but will make you entertained. Cheers!

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief

Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief is an action fantasy movie about a boy discovering that he is no ordinary child but instead, he discovers that he is a descendant of a God. Greek God! But one problem lies, Percy, son of Poseidon was accused of stealing the Master Bolt of Zeus and demands of its return before the Summer Solstice arrive or a war would engage and the battlefield will the Earth...

The movie is based on the book Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan. A really great movie without missing the core parts of the story from the book.  The special effects are just spectacular, highly polished magical effects but the sword fight is just not too realistic but then again the fast paced story and good deliberation of roles covered them real good that you wouldn't even notice it.
