Genre:ActionAdventureFantasyWarningthis film dose contain some scene unsuitable for younger viewers due to the dark tone of the film. Cert:12A cert Parents advised to read before viewing film as some scene may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers. Sex & Nudity:Thor is seen shirtless, kissing scene, man running around naked. Violence & Gore:There is a lot of action scene that you seen people being cut down, you see a blade through a creature's chest. Once scene with thor something happens cant give a away spoilers but it violent. Loki gets punched in the face, a death scene Profanity:Few profanity like ill kill you, dam
Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking:professor drink a drug from a bag of medical drugs. Frightening/Intense Scenes:Official MPAA Rating: PG-13 For sequences of intense sci-fi action and violence, and some suggestive content. Along with the Marvel Phase Two films, The Dark World will have a deeper and darker tone. Story: Faced with an enemy that even Odin and Asgard cannot withstand, Thor must embark on his most perilous and personal journey yet, one that will reunite him with Jane Foster and force him to sacrifice everything to save us all. Likes : ok ill start by saying I have a positive review to tell you but I have a negative one as well, as this film is slightly overrated.Marvels director Alan Taylor has done a good job with this as its enjoyable to watch, it has it (WTH) funny moment that you do find yourself laughing at because it was funny special some of the thor & Loki moments in the film. This film does have a dark tone which might be disturbing for younger viewers, visual effect were brilliant as we see lot more of Asgard after the first film, I will say it more of emotional storyline to be honest this time I did find myself tearing up in some parts. There isn't as much character development as the first film, and Thor's friends are nowhere near as interesting as the Avengers. I guess they simply needed these characters to all remain as they were so as to keep continuity within the Marvel universe, but it's noticeable how little impact the storyline will have on anybody. Christopher Eccleston played as Malekith the Accursed dark elves leader played a some what insane bad guy that wanted to turn all the worlds to darkness, there isn't much in the way to say why he was doing this other than the backstory of the darks elves & this world destroying energy. There is a bit at end of the credit but there is a bit mid credits that seems to lend toward Thanos possible for some reason, it was just that one scene that had that mysterious feel to it like something bigger was going on behind the scenes but we don't know yet, as we've heard Avenger 2 or 3 will have Thanos appear so it could be a link but its unclear at this moment. With the character of Loki I did think it was going to be a little repetitive since he been 3 films now but I believe he's character has more of a big part to play in coming events I think he's still working for the dark forces of Thanos for some reason because of he behaviour or it just Loki being Loki. What I did notice was a bit of a jealously Starr from Sith (Jaimie Alexander) to Jane (NataliePortman) because from what you can see Sith has a thing for thor even in a moment of the film a scene with thor & Odin seem to suggest that. This film in the way of fighting scene dose have a few battles but not much, probably the most important character in the film showed just what he can do even tho he a gate keeper but from what I saw he can seriously kick ass Heimdall play brilliant actor Idris ElbaI throughit about time some one write him in the storyline doing something awesome instead of just watch the gate & the universe because he has such a style in he acting he stands out with an on screen presence. For me the comical moment were ok but some people mite find this ruins the dark tone of the film because it become less of a serious film at times & more of a comedy film of thor, but it enjoyable to watch.
Dislikes : The negative side of this film, is the slight humour I did find that it wasn't really need but Disney being Disney they want a film that kids can watch as well, I think Malekith character as to why he want to turn the worlds into dark could of been explain in the back story but it wasn't real much explained . My only real complaint about this film was the way it ended the last 5 mins of the film You could see what was going on but there was curtain elements as to why & what the hell is happening.
It leave you with an open ending with no closure with you wanting to see more to see what is going on in that scene but that where the credits role. This main is why I feel this film is slightly overrated .
Overall : Not a bad film, better than the first film by far but still not brilliant, but worth watching. Rating:4.6out of 5for entertainment / 7.5 out of 10for storyline/concept

Seventy years later, the people of Earth remain banded together to prevent their own annihilation from this technologically superior alien species. Ender Wiggin, a quiet but brilliant boy, may become the savior of the human race. He is separated from his beloved sister and his terrifying brother and brought to battle school in orbit around earth. He will be tested and honed into an empathetic killer who begins to despise himself as he learns to fight in hopes of saving Earth and his family Likes :To start off with the story is good but this film as a few flaws special at the beginning of the film as well as most part's of this film as well but despite these flaws it's still entertaining.
Acting isn't Oscar winning but still good, Harrison ford played his part pretty well, Asa Butterfield dose a brilliant job as Ender Wiggin , but the drill Sergeant just seem out of place, I don't think the actor they got to play that role fitted it to be honest, it kind of compromises the film storyline in away to a point it wasn't convince enough of a believable character.
The sub plot & twist in the story is OK, but this film lack emotional content & action. It more of an illustrated storyline than an all out Sc-fi action adventure film but because of the flaws in this film for me it fall below what IMDb rates this film, sorry but this film from the trailer looked like it had potential but it falls short of being a perfect Sc-fi because of the flaws.
It should of been a lot more action than the way this film was filmed, hardly any action & to much story just doesn't make for a interesting story its what lets this film down really. Visual the film is stunning with the C.G.I effects but With the film being slightly being slow as well as the flaws in this film there just isn't really enough to keep you interested in saying this was a fantastic film but it all down to how you see the film yourself but it not really going to be for everyone.. Dislikes : Like I said there are flaws in the story, one is the beginning there is no story on why the aliens attacked in the first place only that a war had began, the drill sergeant seriously felt out of place. sorry but Nonso Anozie as much as a good actor he mite be this role just didn't fit him at all he felt complete out of place, The fact the story was slow it was entertaining but what lets this film down is the lack of action in this film, it ok if you more to a film that just a story more than action, but for the theme of this film I think it should of had more action scene instead on the one at the end of the film. It because of these flaws this film is a slight let down from what the trailer shows it as a epic sc-fi film but it far from it.
Overall : If you go to watch this don't expect a full on action sc-fi as it more story than action, but still entertaining. Rating:3.5out of 5for entertainment / 5.2 out of 10 for story concept & action.
Genre:ActionMysteryThriller Cert:15 cert Parents advised to read before viewing film as some scene may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers. Sex & Nudity:None. Violence & Gore:Basically a remake of Escape from Alcatraz with more violence. The usual violence you would expect from a Stallone movie stabbing, shooting, and fighting, some of it bloodless. Profanity:20 F-words, some hell, damn, ass, and one use of "balls"
Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking:none Frightening/Intense Scenes:The climax and fighting scenes between inmates may be intense. Story: Ray Breslin is the world's foremost authority on structural security. After analyzing every high security prison and learning a vast array of survival skills so he can design escape-proof prisons, his skills are put to the test. He's framed and incarcerated in a master prison he designed himself. He needs to escape and find the person who put him behind bars
Likes :Let me start by saying that the fact alone Schwarzenegger and Stallone are in their 60's doing a film like this is the ultimate reason to watch this, ya lot of film Schwarzenegger is looking his age but in this film he really did fit the role & look the part as well you can still tell there is that off screen bitterness slight although I think they have forgiven the past.
The story goes by smoothly and fast. Dialogues and sequence are really well written. Main characters bring you in the movie and Jim Caviezel is brilliant as the villain in this film he really play a cold Ruthless money hungry warden & Vince Jones was his usual character hard ass nut case and the rest of the characters blending the story pretty well, I will say there are moment that will have you laughing because it dose have the odd comical moments that even I laugh out loud to.
Although I would say that IMDB slightly under rated this film as I think it at least more than a 7.6 on the story alone it has about 3 twist in the storyline & you never see the ending coming but some moment you can see it come as there is a lot of deception being made in the film which was seriously brilliant for the film, it gave it its edge.
I wasn't expecting this film to be quiet as good as it looked from the trailer but after watching this film I was pleasantly surprised that it was a brilliant film & totally worth going to watch. Dislikes : There are slight faults in the film like being slight slow at times, although the story was brilliant written I think there should of been a bit more storyline to the way he escape the new prison but you can look past that with the rest of the film.
Overall : Brilliant acting, Great storyline, Good twist in the story. Rating: 4.8out of 5for entertainment / 8.1out of 10for storyline twist / concept

An ice cream truck's cone lowers and vacuums up a bunch of minions. A cat in a trashcan scares two minions, who are then taken into the sky by a blue beam. We see a hundred minions on a beach; the camera pans back and we see a fishbowl containing them as prisoners. Two minions drive a car recklessly inside a shopping mall.

At a party, a girl hits a man in the head with a ball bat meant for a piñata, but he is not harmed. A boy kicks him in the groin, he grunts, but he recovers quickly.

The Anti-Villain League decides it needs an insider's help and recruits Gru in the investigation. Together with the eccentric AVL agent, Lucy Wilde, Gru concludes that his prime suspect is the presumed dead supervillain, El Macho, whose his teenage son is also making the moves on his eldest daughter, Margo. Seemingly blinded by his overprotectiveness of his children and his growing mutual attraction to Lucy, Gru seems on the wrong track even as his minions are being quietly kidnapped en masse for some malevolent purpose.
Likes :Despicable Me 2 is one of those rare cases that a hit animated film's sequel surpasses the original film, The main character Gru (voiced by Steve Carell)is likable and funny. The minions however are the main stars, they had me laughing on multiple occasions during the film. The language created for the minions is very well done as they speak in a fictional language but you can always gather what they are saying.I found the visuals very impressive, it was very colourful and very imaginative, the action scenes we also very well done.
I will say tho you have to love the minions there like the squirrel in ice age it just wouldn't be the same with out them, special with the thing they do, they really do have you rolling around on the floor laughing your head off.
In this film their just more funnier than they were in the first film which was good as well, but this is a great family afternoon film that will leave you happy after watching as it a feel good film. I recommend it for those who love animation, especially if you enjoyed the first "Despicable Me" film.
Dislikes : Nothing wrong with this film
Overall: Very funny, great family entertainment film, fun for all the family to watch. Rating:5 out of5for entertainment / 9out of 10 for funny moments & storyline.

Danny returns to his old manor and knows the only way of finding out who killed Joey is to return to his past and get back into the firm.
Likes :Dam this film is violent with a lot of strong language, but the fight scene were good, This is the type of film that is a across between this is England & fight club as it take you in to the under ground world of London football hooligans fighting for the right to own the street's.
Ive never really watch the first two film but from what ive heard they weren't that good but this film isn't to bad, ive got to say the sex scene is pretty hot , Special since a the woman in the sex scene is the very beautiful Kacey Barnfieldwho plays Molly, I will sayScot Adkinswho plays Danny is one lucky guy in that scene.
This film is full of a lot of extreme fighting, bar to street fights & a lot of strong language thrown through out the film so this is one film that wont appeal to everyone unless you like the gritty fighting style film like fight club & this is England all the over type of football themed film, this film really dose take street fight to a whole new level.
The storyline isn't to bad iver as Danny(Scott Adkin) is out on a war path to find his bothers killer, this is where the story has a twist it make you think who could it be it all lends to a big confrontation. I would say that it dose kind of give England a bad name with these films but it not like this every where but it dose happen from time.
Despite that people say Scot Adkins cant act then you should watch this because Scot Adkins performance in this film was brilliant. But has I said this film wont be for everyone it going to be one of those film that you really have to be into to enjoy it.
Dislikes : I don't Condon violence as it a last result, this film was ok but this film was a little to much swearing for me.
Overall : Brutal fight scenes, great sex scene, Performance were good, gritty fight club type film Rating:4out of5for entertainment / 6.1 out of 10for storyline & fight scenes

Likes :although the first film was the better one this Still is entertaining & has that pop corn entertaining. Meshach Taylor returns as well as the ultra flamboyant Hollywood. His character is probably the most likable in the movie, Not that William Ragsdale or the beautifulKristy Swanson aren't that good but Taylor steals the show in this film.
You will find that this film is more about comedy then romance as it doesn't have the same romantic feel as the first film but it has more of the slap stick comical moments which make this still a great film to watch on a lazy afternoon.
Like Mannequin it starts off in another time and something happens like with Emmy getting sucked through a time portal of some kind through the tombs of her ancestors and then somehow being turned into a mannequin..by a magician puts a curse on a young maiden that a prince has fallen in love with for a thousand years or til true love that she will remain frozen...The blossoming story of love between Kristy Swanson and William Ragsdale is very sweet and as in Mannequin it ends with a unique rescue of true love that was different from the first film.
I found that the chemistry between Andrew McCarthy and Kim Cattrall in the first film was better but the chemistry between the characters Jason Williamson and Lady Jesse was ok but i just wasn't feeling the romance much with them really it was a little tame to be honest, I think it was a welcome touch because of that to have more of the comedy in this film which made it slight worth watching.
But it like this film your ive going to like the cheesiness of this film or your going to dislike it depend of your taste of films but this still is a great film for what it is. Dislikes : just didn't have the same feel as the first film because the first film was better for the romance side, but this dose have more comedy side so you might enjoy to watch.
Overall: Not a bad effort for a sequel not as good as the first film but still worth watching for the comedy. Rating:3.4out of5for entertainment / 5.7out of 10for storyline/comedy

Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: none Frightening/Intense Scenes:One scene with a mannequin that comes to life might scare younger viewers. Story: Jonathan Switcher is a young artist. He just doesn't seem to last in any job he does. But when he builds a mannequin, he makes it so perfect, he falls in love with it. It is the first thing he has made that makes him feel like a real artist. The mannequin ends up in the window of a big department store. When he saves the life of an old lady who happens to be the owner of that store, he is rewarded by getting a job at the store as stock boy. Later the mannequin comes to life as Emmy, who was an ancient Egyptian living in the year 2514BC. The two redesign the window display to make it most eye catching in town. The store competitors are not happy and will do anything to stop them! Likes :Some one said this film is definitely for the love sick or the romantically challenged, I have to disagree with that, because this is proof that not every movie needs to have academy award winning performances, this is a film that will appeal to people with a loving nature & romantic heart.
Its simplicity and light-heartedness is what makes it great film for what it is, it so unrated because its a great romantic comedy that really tugs on the heart strings a little & shows what true love is all about.
Watching this film some guy's you can relate to a character like Jonathan Switcher played by Andrew McCarthy, because sometime in life things can just be so bad you feel like your always alone nothing every goes right it take that special person to really make things worth while in life that you will do anything for them, this is what the film show's. Jonathan Switzer a very talented artist who seems to have a tough time keeping a job & finding love when he meet a beautiful woman from the mannequin he made in a previous job that comes to life in the form of an Egyptian princess Emmy played by Kim Cattrallit also add that mystery as she only comes to life when the two are alone together which add to the romantic side of this film. This is what romantic films are about, one guy down on his luck in every way until a beautiful woman come in to his life & give him everything he could possibly want & make it better, which at time dose give you that warm feeling of love. The comedy side of this film come from Captain Felix played by police academiesG.W. Bailey and his dog Rambo, especially for that funny scene where he and Mr Richards end up in that car chase with Jonathan and Emmy, if you cant find these scene funny then you iver don't like comedy or you just don't have a sense of humour because despite the cheesiness of this film its a classic film that as lived on for the years & has become some people Favioute film. I will say this film is rife with great one-liners and hysterical situations and of course a great 80's style musical montage special when they are having fun after hours when the store is closed, it brilliant mixed to make what is a timeless classic with a brilliant sound track from star ship "nothing is gonna stop us now" bring what is one of the best romantic comedy your ever get to see. Dislikes : the only shame really about this film is that a sound track was never released for this film.
Overall : brilliant romantic comedy, Great 80s music montage, great feel good film for an afternoon viewing. Rating:4.5out of5for entertainment / 7.9out of 10forromantic comedy

Genre:CrimeDramaThriller, Warning this film contain scene of torture that may disturb some people Cert:15 cert Parents advised to read before viewing film as some scene may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers. Sex & Nudity:None.
Violence & Gore: Some brief torture sequences throughout One character punches a man in the face repeatedly and the man's face is shown red from being beaten. He then throws the man into a wooden cell/shower. The shower only has 2 settings, freezing cold and burning hot. The water is set on burning hot more than once, we hear the character screaming, but we do not actually see this. A detective slams a man onto a metal table to interrogate him, however the man picks up the detective's gun and shoots himself in the mouth. The climax of the movie is intense and suspenseful.
Profanity:25-27 F-words throughout, but because of the long running time (2 hr 33 min) and the fast pacing, it's very hard to tell.
Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking:Scene with a man drink a bottle that alcohol Frightening/Intense Scenes:This may be scary to some parents with young children.
The torture scenes are somewhat intense. Story: How far would you go to protect your family? Keller Dover is facing every parent's worst nightmare. His six-year-old daughter, Anna, is missing, together with her young friend, Joy, and as minutes turn to hours, panic sets in. The only lead is a dilapidated RV that had earlier been parked on their street. Heading the investigation, Detective Loki arrests its driver, Alex Jones, but a lack of evidence forces his release. As the police pursue multiple leads and pressure mounts, knowing his child's life is at stake the frantic Dover decides he has no choice but to take matters into his own hands. But just how far will this desperate father go to protect his family? Likes :This is got to be Huge Jackman best powerful performance to date as you see from the trailer of this film he play the character of Keller Dover who's kid & friend kid gets taken, from there this film taken you on a trip dark intense & emotional journey as the family is put through hell during its darkest hour.
Also from the trailers you know that his character is out for blood as their daughter's are missing, throughout the film you can really feel his pain, anger and moral struggles as he try's deal with this situation & its this performance that really show Hugh Jackman brilliance as an actor because he bring the most believable performance ever playing this role. Also bring an outstanding performance Jake Gyllenhaal as he plays the Detective Loki who try his best to find the girls & track down who took them before its to late.
The director Denis Villeneuve does an excellent job of keeping you invested in the film emotionally even though some intensely violent scenes. Its dreary setting provides no comfort, but goes hand and hand with the narrative, this film is not for the faint of heart as some scene of torture may be disturbing for some viewer but this is a worth watching film that will shock you & bring you to tears in emotional moments as its a pretty shocking film.
This may not be a film for everyone which also depend on your taste of film's but this is for me one of Hugh Jackman best performance to date & a film you must see.
Dislikes : The only slight problem I will say that some people might not like about this film is its can be very slow throughout the film but the film as a whole is brilliant.
Overall : Brilliant, emotional journey, a must see, Rating:5out of5 for entertainment / 9out of 10for emotional journey/ outstanding performance's
Genre:HorrorThrillerwarning this film dose contain flashing imagines Cert:18 cert Parents advised to read before viewing film as some scene may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers. Sex & Nudity:None Violence & Gore:The ghost tends to grab her victims and later drop their scratched up bodies. A few punches are thrown in two scenes and gunshots in one scene. at the end of the film Kyle shouts to the tooth fairy "I See you bitch! and he then punches her across the face with fire, destroying her forever Profanity:A few religious obscenities and one f-word
Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking:One scene happens in a bar full of people who are drinking beer, and some who are drunk. Frightening/Intense Scenes:The whole film revolves around a vicious vengeful ghost, so there are a lot of scary "what-was-that-noise" scenes and some frights. The very beginning is the scariest part of the film. It may be hard to watch as Kyle runs away allowing the ghost to kill his mother. The Ending of the film where The Tooth Fairy has her mask knocked off is really disturbing because her face is all burnt Story:In the 1800's there was a woman that little children would take their old teeth (ones they had recently lost) to in exchange for a gold coin. A few years later, tragedy struck her, first a fire in her house which caused her to not be able to go into any type of light, and then she was hanged. There's a story that goes around the town of Darkness Falls about her, and she's called the Tooth Fairy. The story goes that she can't go in the light, and if you wake up and see her, she'll kill you. The usual saying is "Don't Peek." Well, there is a boy named Kyle who gets a warning from his friend Caitlin to not peek. Well, he wakes up on the night when the Tooth Fairy is supposed to come and get his last tooth and sees her. It all leads to more tragedy and the movie jumps to 12 years later. Now grown up, Caitlin calls Kyle because her little brother Michael is going through the same things he did as a boy, and wants his help. Kyle goes back to Darkness Falls to face his past Likes :This is a brilliant film, this is one of those film that really show why some people were scare of the dark as a young kid & why some time the fear of the dark goes to adulthood this is one example of a film that shows that.
Inspired by the real dark fairy tale of the tooth fairy from brother grim story's & an age old story of waltzing mirtilda known as the tooth fairy who's husband died at sea which gave us the famous song waltzing mirtilda a famous Australian song. This story take you in to the heart of the darkness & your inner fears to truly terrify you to the bone.
On the DvD is has a true history back ground story of waltzing mirtilda which is a pretty sad story but a frightening back ground story for her, but this film is one of the best horror film's I've seen in a while. this is one film I recommend that you wont be disappointed with a lot of people will probably say it was a bad film not worth watching but I recommend you watch it for your self's because the story & back ground really sets the tone for this film's concept & the dark horror theme that really show why you should be scared of the dark.
I find this Narrator really sets the tone of this film brilliantly: It is said that over 150 years ago, in the town of Darkness Falls, Matilda Dixon was adored by all the children. Whenever they would lose a tooth they would bring it to her in exchange for a gold coin, earning her the name, the tooth fairy.
But fate was not kind to Matilda. One night fire tore through her home leaving her face horribly scarred. Matilda's burned flesh was so sensitive to light she could only go out at night, always wearing a porcelain mask so no one could ever look upon her face.
One day two children didn't come home. The town's people blamed Matilda - they hanged her, tearing of her mask, exposing her hideous face to the light. And with her dying breath Matilda laid a curse upon Darkness Falls.
The next morning the little children were found safe and sound. The town buried their secret along with Matilda's body. Since then there are some who believe that Matilda visits the children of Darkness Falls on the night they lose their last tooth, seeking her vengeance on any who lay their eyes upon her face, fulfilling her curse: What I took before in kindness, I will take forever in revenge.
Dislikes : Some of the acting is a little off but if you can look past that, your find this film a really good film to watch.
Overall : Brilliant story, scare horror scene, worth watching. Rating:4.5out of 5for entertainment / 9out of 10for storyline/concept.

Story:Mike Wazowski and James P. Sullivan are an inseparable pair, but that wasn't always the case. From the moment these two mismatched monsters met they couldn't stand each other. "Monsters University" unlocks the door to how Mike and Sulley overcame their differences and became the best of friends
Likes :I don't have a problem with Disney film when they stick to kids film because it entertaining for the family & kids but I hate it when they chance stuff on other film like avengers, but Disney every now & then bring out a family film that you really enjoy watching.
This is a prequel to monster inc set before mike & sulley became friend & were in university for monsters for a scares course, now this film is full of funny character which take you to university life but puts it in to a point of view of monsters trying to become the best scare monster to graduate university, along the way mike & sully friendship get strong with the help of a few friends.
monster university is a film you can go wrong with & it great entertainment for all the family that will seriously make you laugh your head off because there are a few moment that seriously make you laugh, Special with after the credit's with the slug monster I laugh my head off at that point.
although a great family entertainment film for all the family this might not be for everyone as some people have different tastes in film, but this is so worth watch if you like Disney Pixar film, because they have made some classic family entertainment film over the year's. this is one I recommend watching with your kids or if you just like this film.
Dislikes : It not as good as the first one but is still worth watching.
Overall: Great adult & child humour, great family entertainment, worth watching. Rating: 4.6out of5for storyline / 8.7out of 10for family entertainment

Casey is erroneously arrested for crimes committed by Masazuka. He eventually abducts Namiko and demands turn the armor to him. Casey tells him if he wants he'll have to fight him for it
Likes : I agree with some review that this film does take the concept of the old American ninja film's & makes it better for todays martial art film's & with Scott Adkins playing the lead role make's the martial arts fight scene so much better.
What this film does as well, is capture the true beauty of japanese martial arts & the way of a samurai fighting to an outstanding concept that really show just how much there martail arts mean to them. It also capture the culture of tradition, discipline & training of japanese martial arts which really set a realistic tone for the film.
I find this brilliant done, those who say that Scott Adkins can't act seriously haven't got a clue in acting because you give any actor the right role, that where the acting skills shine through with the right storyline & character they come off better in a film.
This is a brilliant made film, the fight scene are amazing with aerial combat kicks special the one scene with Scott Adkins really show homage to the great Bruce lee with taking on a lot of guy on at once just one hell of a brilliant fight scene.
This is one film I recommend you watch if you loved the 80s American ninja or grow up on martial arts of that theme this one wont disappoint. It also has that tale of revenge & love concept as well which lend to a final confrontation fight with a disgraced Masazuka play by Tsuyoshi Ihara also actress Mika Hijii who pay the love interested Namiko Takeda who performance is brilliant. The other good thing of this film that is brilliant done is Togo Igawa brilliant performance as Sensei Takeda, he brought the beauty & culture of japanese martial art tradiction out perfect in this film that gave this film a realistic feel to the culture which is very rare in some film's but is fantastic in this one.
Dislikes: Nothing wrong with it, spot on film
Overall:Good fight scene, amazing martial art combat, brilliant culture & beauty of japanases martial arts, worth watching or having in you dvd collection. Rating:5 out of 5 for entertainment /9.5 out of 10 for realistic culture / Fighting scene's.
