செல்லமே!.....லவ் யுடா!

  

This movie stands as a stunning solid summer entertainment FORCE of Angelina Jolie(named FOX) who has made me to have sleepless weekends now. I LOVE ANGELINA. C’Mon SweetHeart! I am in Beaverton! Gimme a Hug! ;-) :P :P :-)

Before “Wanted” reaches the end of its wild course, the violence that’s been nothing but Severe becomes genuinely impressive.

The film, based on the series of comic books, evokes a secret FRATERNITY of assassins founded a thousand years ago by a clan of weavers. Why would weavers do such a thing? There are secret messages contained in the textiles from a mill to kill people.

The fraternity includes Morgan Freeman(leader) — he has a meaty role here — and a less-than-fraternal Angelina Jolie, who does lots with her patented exciting lower lip smiles, but also figures, gorgeously, in several sensational action sequences. When she stylishly delivers the punch dialogue “Kill One! Save a Thousand!”,I was at bay.  

Wesley Gibson, played by James McAvoy is a formidable star with strong ‘F’ language as an account manager,turns an assassin. So, too, does the director, Timur Bekmambetov, strikes his action along mercilessly, but with spectacular results.

And that Wes was recruited into the Fraternity group because his severe emotion result from a superheated metabolism that gives superpowers. Freeman and Jolie wanted him to be a lean mean fighting machine and they train him hard to avenge his estranged dad’s death. Luckily, The cuts and bruises Wesley suffers during training can be healed almost instantaneously by soaking in a wax-like bath. Towards the end, he realizes the dangerous plot against him by the fraternity and takes revenge by setting things up. Wesley does exceptionally well especially in the brave shuttle-grabbing scene.

In a shooting + car chase sequence, when Jolie went berserk on top of the Red Viper’s hood, the crowd would have turned crazy if in India. She was equally magnificient when she drove the black Audi SUV. Looked hot and much slimmer after the wax-bath scene-when she says ”Prepare, man! Five minutes!” .

I just loved her speeding train surfing. Enjoy the great visuals, amazing sequences and some terrific performances.

The screenplay when analyzed in good terms is scintillating with curving Bullets around obstacles(Inspired by Beckham?!), LCD machine gun and ofcourse, the instruments of the climax violence include a garbage truckload of rats who, overeaten peanut butter, rushes forward with little time bombs strapped on their backs and blow the assasins territory.

In the midway, I just felt the star cast is bit overqualified and they could have made the story bit stronger; Ofcourse, this is not a story that goes for Oscar or Pulitzer.

Wanted earns its R-rating with the tracking of every bullet as it rips through flesh, muscle, and bone. The violence in “Wanted” is swift and brutal, not long and sadistic. The movie has a sense of humor too.

Having guessed you people reached the saturation point of my Jolie Craziness, I am signing off.

VERDICT:

A BlockBuster that delivers what action fans desire with artfulness.

My rating for this movie is 4.5/5 (I would have rated  perfect 100%, had my Darling not been shot!).

மொத்தத்துல இந்த படத்தை பத்தி சொல்லணும்னா,

எல்லாமே ஜூலிதான்! அதனாலே ஜாலிதான்! :roll: :roll: :roll:

WALL-E review – Amidst good sleep in Theatre

Posted by தம்புரா on June 30, 2008

The PREVIEW looked incredible. So, I went to watch.There’s a breathtaking ambition, breadth and dark backdrop to “WALL-E”, our hero. The characters are adorable, the inventions are dazzling, and after its astounding comic-poetic first half, the film settles down into a reliable mix of sentiment. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry — all that good stuff.

Summarizing the Movie -That Robots’ Love is amazing.

WALL-E is simply exceeding in excellence who tries to save the human race.

OmiGod, I slept in the end;Had to rewatch the movie and got relieved for missing the good stuff.

It is a story about love (WALL-E and Eve) and loneliness, the possibilities and pitfalls of human existence. This story is told by way of the exploits of a tiny, faceless two eyed robot only makes it more extraordinary. Fundamentally a boy-meets-girl romance, but it is futuristic science-fiction adventure.

 

There are mighty summits, in fact piles of garbage, compacted into cubes and neatly stacked to the sky by an industrious little Waste Allocation Load Lifter: Earth class–a.k.a. WALL·E. The fantastic robot has been building these cubes  for hundreds of years, and he’s been doing it alone now: Human beings have left the polluted planet and his fellow machines have been shut down. The surviving humans are living in huge spaceships. Then, a spacecraft arrives and deposits EVE. She’s a sleek robot, gleaming white and designed like an Apple component, and she’s indifferent to the WALL-E. The movie is filled with small joys and subtle jokes.

 

In the end, space craft suffers technical issues, Wall-E helps in helping it controlled manually by the captain(fat man) and Spacecraft plunges into earth safely. Wall-E gets full solar charge there; The movie ends as Eve and Wall-E hug each other and the captain explaining plantation to the people. 

 

The most astonishing and great thing about this film is its first half plays out with only a word or two of dialogue – SPEECHLESS that made me SPEECHLESS; but this led me to sleep towards the end(adding to my tiredness)! It would be easy to go on about the sheer visual beauty of WALL-E, which marks yet another milestone in the evolution of animation.

 

Writer-director Andrew Stanton is at the top of his game with “WALL-E.” Actually, he’s at the top of pretty much anybody’s game leading WANTED & HANCOCK in Box-Office. This is a film that stretches the expectations and reaches of animation at the same time it offers fantastic entertainment value to its audience. Having already made us care about cars etc., I guess it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Pixar has made robots seem lovable. But here I am, surprised and delighted all over again at just how well these people can tell a story.

 

“Wall-E” is more than a winner; it’s a wonder.

 

VERDICT: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR ALL –Watch when you are Fresh!!

My rating to this movie is 4.7 out of 5

மொத்தத்துல இந்த படத்தை பத்தி சொல்லணும்னா,
