Avatar and Sherlock Holmes

Hola! As promised, it is about time I gave my short and sweet review of Avatar. And a review of another movie as well. =)

I loved this movie! Although I thought that watching it in 3D was slightly overrated. Or maybe that was just because the 3D quality at GSC Dataran Pahlawan was not up to standard. Loved the colours, the plot, and of course the creative ideas that made up this movie. This movie also kinda shows that humans are greedy and inhumane when it comes to make profit. And it also shows that some humans would fight for what is right, albeit going against your own kind. I thought this movie was a lot better than 2012. I didn't expect the movie was 2 hours and 40 minutes long but it was more than worth the duration. No part of the movie bored me and the director even threw in a little sense of humour here and there as well for good measure. All in all, I'd give this movie a 9/10. The best movie I've watched in 2009. But I haven't watched 2 blockbusters of the year yet (Star Trek & Terminator Salvation). So, I might change that perception.

Went to watch Sherlock Holmes 2 days ago and I wasn't disappointed. I expected it to be a good movie after watching the trailer a few months back. Once again, Robert Downey Jr played his role as Sherlock Holmes to perfection. Credits to Jude Law, Rachel McAdams and Mark Strong for putting up good performances as well. Movie had a decent plot, good sense of humour and some nice costumes to go with the theme and settings for the movie. A little extra talking here and there but nothing that bothered me too much. It was definitely worth the money spent to watch it in the cinema. I give this movie a 8.5/10 rating. One of the best movies of the year for me.

That's all for now. Time to plug in the external hard drive and watch the remaining 2 movies that are supposedly very good in the summer of 2009!
