This movie is just as good as the first two, and I would say that it is one of the funniest movies that I have ever watched. What makes the script so good is the interplay between Chief Inspector Lee, played by Jackie Chan, and Detective James Carter, played by Chris Rock. Some of the lines that these two actors used had me laughing nonstop. The movie begins with the introduction of the Triads, a Chinese criminal organization, and Lee and Carter pursuing an assassin at the World Criminal Court. The next scene is perhaps the best scene of the whole movie. The clues lead Carter and Lee to a martial arts studio, where a giant martial arts expert confronts them. The conversation goes back and forward between Carter and the martial arts expert, with the words “you” and “me” used in a confusing manner. After this, the clues lead the two of them to Paris, France. The first place they go to is a triad hideout, where Lee manages to kill a Triad assassin called Jasmine, and Carter meets a beautiful lady, Genevieve. After Carter and Lee are told that Shy Shen, the leader of the Triads, is not a person but a number of leaders, they discover that Genevieve has the list of Triad leaders tattooed onto her forehead. The action then switches to the Eiffel Tower, where Lee and Carter go to get back Soo-Yung, an old friend of Lee. Lee manages to defeat Kenji while Carter saves Soo-Yung. The movie ends with Jackie Chan and Chris Rock walking off into the distance while dancing to the hit song “War.” Some of the scenes in this movie are similar to the prequels, but the movie still provides plenty of entertainment. Movie Review #2 – Avatar This movie was perhaps the coolest movie that I have ever watched. In fact, Avatar has now become the highest grossing film of all time. This is largely due to the fact that the movie was made in 3-D. The director of this movie was James Cameron, who is an Oscar award winning director for his work on the film Titanic, which was the previous highest grossing movie of all time. The movie starts off showing humans invading a foreign world, Pandora. The lead character, Jake Sully, played by Australian actor Sam Worthington, has been chosen to replace his brother on the mission to Pandora. Where it gets complicated is that Sully is a paraplegic, but this all changes when he gets to use his very own avatar, which is a creature similar to the local population but used by humans. On a mission into the woods, Sully gets separated from the rest of his crew. While he is lost, a local Na’vi, Neytiri, played by Zoe Saldana, finds him and brings him back to her people. Back at the human base, the head of the security force is convinced to let Sully build a cover with the local population in order to gain their trust. The humans have the goal of getting hold of a mineral that is more valuable than anything else. To achieve this, the local Na’vi population must move so that the humans can go in and use the resources. This does not happen because Sully chooses to stick with the Na’vi and fight the humans for control of the land. The last scene is a huge battle between the humans and the Na’vi, which the Na’vi triumph in of course. At the end, Sully is accepted into the local culture and becomes one of them. In my opinion, Avatar is the greatest movie spectacle of all time. Movie Review #3 – Shrek The movie Shrek is one that became very successful all around the world in large part due to the quality of actors in the movie. Mike Myers (Shrek), Cameron Diaz (Princess Fiona), and Donkey (Eddie Murphy) all brought star power to a movie that was initially not expected to do so well. The movie only cost $60 million dollars to make, yet its worldwide gross was close to $500 million. After the success of the original, there were sequels that became almost as equally as popular. The Shrek franchise is perhaps the greatest in the cartoon genre simply because of the reach that it has over people of a variety of ages. Even though the movie is largely directed at kids, older adults can find enjoyment in this movie due to the fast-paced script and exciting storyline. The movie begins with Shrek and Donkey unlikely teaming up to go to talk to Lord Farquaad to get him to remove all the squatters near Shrek’s swamp. As it happens, Lord Farquaad needs to find someone to go to get Princess Fiona, who is locked away in a tower. Shrek agrees to go and in return Lord Farquaad will get rid of all the squatters. Shrek and Donkey manage to find Princess Fiona locked away in a castle. After overcoming the dragon, Shrek and Donkey take Princess Fiona back to Lord Farquaad. During this time, Princess Fiona begins to develop feelings for Shrek. Once Princess Fiona is returned back to Lord Farquaad, a wedding is arranged immediately. Shrek is convinced by Donkey to make a move for Princess Fiona, and he does just that. He interrupts the wedding but is surprised to find out that Princess Fiona is actually an ogre just like Shrek. In the last scene, Shrek and Princess Fiona get married and travel off into the distance. While Shrek was not a ground breaking success, the plot is both original and funny, and can be enjoyed by practically everyone. Read More
