One would believe that everything improves and gets better with the time. This is not the case with Hollywood. It gets worse and worse with every single and each sequel. In short; Do yourself a favor and watch ID original, not this unworthy sequel if you don't want to regret.

I watched ID Resurgence in fast forwards. And there wasn't much fast forwarding either. I finished the entire movie in a couple of jump and that's it.

ID was heavily criticized for its cheesy plot line,however, it stands as an eternal Academy award winner in compare to it's underdeveloped child.

There is no Will Smith substitute. Jeff Goldblum is an old and depleted man here. He even looks older than his Father now. There is no single character you either root for or feel sorry. The aliens are even the most boring.

The first movie used CGI's in a very realistic and balanced way. When you watched the sequel you can't help but feel like you are watching an animatrix movie made for elementary school kids.

The story does not put anything new to the original. Old wine in the old bottle.

Huge waste of potential of the original.

Hell of an entertaining Bollywood action movie with the "young angry man" theme. This time our hero is not a commoner, but a police officer. It's weird as generally it happens vice versa with Indian movies. Again, as you pretty much guess there are corrupted politicians as always. I wonder when will Bollywood make a movie about some decent politicians anyway.

If you look for entertainment, Singham is 100% a good choice as it never fails to give you fun. However, if you are looking for a reality movie pass this one as you will see, throughout the movie, flying cars, men, all in the air.

I am not saying Rambo 3 is a bad movie. From the action movie standards, it can be above average. Those looking for entertainment will not be disappointed. However, to me, Rambo 3 looks rather a comedy movie. There are many scenes that is plain funny.

The accent of Moussa makes me laugh throughout the movie. "You arrre not soldier you arrre not scientist! Who arr you? Arr you a tourist?" And Rambo replied snarling in anger "I am not Tourist"... It's a classic.

The Russian accent of the lead villain is also very humorous: "Drop yorr wepon! We are not gonna hurt you!"

Well, apart from silly dialogs, the action scenes are also at par with Hot Shots! Rambo and his sidekick fight an entire battalion of Russian armored vehicles, tanks, howitzers, helicopters and get away with no scratch!

I think the US is wasting its money by making nukes and war planes. All he needs to do is just send Rambo and his ole buddy crenna to take care of the matter.

This movie is not worth of writing a review about. This is just to warn you before you somehow sit to watch it.

I can understand some poor chaps put some money together to burn for making a rubbish movie. Everybody is entitled to do that. What I don't understand is what the hell Dolph Lundgren is doing in such a low quality movie? There seems to be no director assigned to this movie. My guess is the cameraman both shoot and directed the film. There is no script so they made the movie just improvising on the set.

Forget about the stupid plot, worst unknown actors, non existent directing. One thing annoyed me in this movie a lot: There are four bad guys with semi automatic weapons and unlimited ammunition. Yet they are unable to shoot anybody from 20 feet distance. What the hell? If you see this movies cover or DVD just call 911 for emergency.

I liked Total Recall. Not because it is a great movie. Because it is extremely entertaining and funny. Especially the one liners from Arnie. The plot is interesting, the cast is superb, the action is acceptable. All in all e great entertainer, you can watch again and again and it never gets you boring.

Well, having said that, I have to come down to the business. Do not look for a logical plot in here. How can be a planet with no air can turn into a place with the atmosphere as the world has in seconds? Come on! Why would Martians build an engine to add Mars an atmosphere and left without doing it? How come did those funny looking mutants come up?

The story line is confusing. When I watched TR first time, I understood nothing. Absolutely confused. It took me two or three watching to get who is who and what actually happens.

Another weak point is special effects. Most of the effects look terribly bad and not convincing.

In total, it is not a bad movie. Has lots of re-watching value. Do not expect a logical SF with brilliant FX. Just enjoy.

As being a harsh critic on Turkish movies (especially comedies) I would love to say that Kolpacino is not a bad movie at all. Well, it is not an Oscar Winner either. The important thing is it is good enough to glue you to the screen until the finish and makes you lough. And the end. I guess most funny part is the ending. (Watch and see).

This is a movie for those who like light weight-time passing- Turkish comedy with lots of foul language. You need to be familiar with Turkish culture and slang to understand the jokes as most of the humor depends on street slang. I find the acting okay. The plus point is the performance of old comedian Aytkin Akbas who was the king of Turkish Porn Movies back in 70's.

If you look for artistic depth or an Oscar performance, this film is not for you. When you are in a bad mood and need some smile give this a try.

Tin cup is one of the most boring movies I have ever seen. (Only comparable to Phenomenon of Travolta) Put aside the last ten minutes of US Open scenes, the whole movie is full of dull and boring dialogs and sub plots. I slept most of it. The movie force you to doze off involuntarily and makes you wake up here and there probably due to a high pithced Dolby sound when the actors slam a door or ingite a car to drive.

The only redeeming value of the film is the beautiful look of Rene Russo despite her age. The lead hero is disgusting and not one to root for. Never seen Kevin so desperate and shabby like this.

Good as a sleep pill, otherwise hell of a boring movie....

Avoid.

I do not blame Indians, as they have a very unique taste for movies. But, even for Indian movie standards China Gate is an absolute wreck.

I do not mind the plot is stolen. But, I could tolerate this crap only for the first half than I walked off. Why? Because nothing at all happened in the first half except the fantastic belly dance show of Urmila that has also nothing to do with the film in any way. (Believe me, many of the audience was just there to see only this part). The entire first part of the movie was full of silly dialogs and "keep dragging scenes".

One of the fallbacks of the movie is "the cast" also. One dozen of so called action heroes are actually at their 70'ies who need a stick to be able to walk properly! Seeing bunch of Alzheimer driven heroes trying to figth a notorious gang just make me sick.

Anyway, since nothing significant happened in the first half I walked off. Do not think I troughly watch the first half. I slept most of the time.

Most of the Indian movies have good scores even though the plot is stupid. However in this movie there is not much belly dance show except the one in which Urmila shows her talent.

Maybe the movie picks up in the second half, I do not know. But looking at the lame direction in the first half, I can imagine how idiotic the second half with the action scenes the old men in it.

A huge waste of three plus some hours. Do not come even any close.

Tarkan's adventures are fun to see as much as his competitor Cuneyt Arkin's (Kara Murat, Malkoc Oglu & Battal Gazi series). As a matter of fact, Tarkan is once famous comic hero who lived in Hunnic time somehow similar to Connan the barbarian. What he has more is a scantly clad tiger fure which is not long enough to cover his dark color slip underware. His sidekick, a wolf lookalike stray dog that's name is also kurt "wolf".

Tarkan singlehandedly deals with the enemies of the famous Hunnic Emperor Atilla. A natural born swordsman, archer, horse rider and a handsome casanova, Tarkan keeps conquering lands as far as Vikings and China.

Acting wooden, reality non existent, bad screenplay, bad stunt, bad everything. It is so bad actually it is good.

Do not miss.

When I saw the ad on the paper that 2012 would show up on one of the TV channels, I thought this was big budget 2012 flick. The whole day, I made arrangements to be able to sit to watch this movie. (Snacks, drinks etc.). When the movie starts I smelled something was wrong. The opening credits were in a cheap fashion that was taken by a camera fixed to a helicopter was filming over a river probably in rain forest! What the hell? Then the first scene was quite weird. A girl in a marathoner suit in a south American town was running amok. A gringo boy fooling around taking randomly pictures with a camera to pass the time notices the girl. The girl says she is a missionary (very convincing, in a runners suit!)and the whole village settler is dying of a weird disease. Now, what do you think the girl needs for help? A hospital, doctor, helicopter, a telephone booth to ask help for? No, you are wrong. Instead the guy insisted that he could help, he manages to convince the naiveté missionary girl (FYI he is not a doctor or anything close to medicine). Although she did know him just for the last one minute, she agrees to go to a dense forest with a stranger guy to cure the sick villagers.

Now, u tell me, can you watch this movie to the end?

I think enough is said.

First of all, I do not understand how every Turkish movie gets such a high vote? Seems Turkish people always votes high with no understanding of what a decent movie must look like.

Kurulush is a Turkish TV serial about the foundation of Ottoman Empire. Cihan Unal plays the lead role which is Osman Bey, the founder of Ottomans. A lot of government source spent on this film mostly for costumes and stunts numbering thousands. But that does not make a movie good. Directing is bad and especially fight scenes and battles were executed childishly simple. When people are engaged sword fighting you can not figure out if they are fighting or drinking coffee.

For the historical narration sake 3 out of 10.

Cumhuriyet (The Republic) is another failed attempt to picture the foundation of Turkish Republic. On the other hand, for Turkish audience this is just an "Ataturk" movie.

This movie is a case study to teach wasting a hansom amount of money on costumes does not make a movie good. All the aspects of good movie making is neglected by the director. First of all, lead cast is just a farce. Rutkay Aziz playing Atatürk, has no similarities with Ataturk at all. He is fat, stocky, charisma free fellow with a bass voice where Ataturk was slim, handsome man with a high pitched voice. It is apparent that the Aziz did not bother to study Ataturk's mimics and gestures. The result is a stupid man claiming he is Ataturk and the only resemblance is his dyed hair.

Another problem of the movie is its story telling. The scenario wants to tell too many things and the result is almost fast forwarding spaced movie in which no special even is treated fairly. Everything happened so hastily and wrapped up all of a sudden.

This is not movie making and the result is extremely forgettable movie which looks rather Ataturk and his colleagues costume show and nothing more.

The main problem with the movie is that the lead man who is supposed to play Ataturk looks nowhere near to him despite all those heavy make up. He rather looks like a rascal, bad looking mafia boss. Come on guys, is that the best you could do?

Turkish Cinema seems to have a long long way of learning how to make a proper historical movie. If you want to depict a historical figure, try to find at least somehow similar looking guy if not exactly.

Ataturk was an extremely handsome man with exceptionally high charisma and marvelous posture. This movie is actually nothing but an insult to his memory.

Muhteşem Yüzyıl AKA "The Magnificent Century" is a Turkish historical serial which is tailor made for women audience. Yes, this is a fact that in Turkey TV series are mostly attended by female audience as men generally prefer to spent their evening prime time on watching football. When women in question, you may obviously estimate that a historical film would turn into a "soap opera" full of harem intrigues, cheating, jealousy and off course lots of love affair. All the historical events, wars, empire businesses are merely a plot filler here.

If you are interested in "harem affairs" of one of the magnificent empires history has ever seen, check this out. If you expect a proper historical production that shed light on the most brilliant era of Ottoman Empire, this will be a big let down for you.

Kudos for the costume team, the dressings and all the costumes deserve a 10/10.

I don't know how this movie got into 50 Top Turkish films list. Probably you should ask the one who prepared the list by his own poor taste. Without even having watched the film, it is safe to say that any of Arkin's film is unworthy of any award. Arkin had a few talents, true. And those were his exceptionally good look and some athletic abilities that he used them when riding horse and beating up poor stunts to the pulp.

I was very much enjoying his movies when I was ten years old. When got matured, I only loughed at them. If you want to see how awful Turkish movies could be, give this film a try.

Contrary to negative reviews I can say I find skyline much better than many of the recent SF movies. Hundred times better than Battle LA.

What do you expect to see in a alien invasion movie? Aliens, Spectacular alien mother ships, swarming alien drones, giant aliens with flashy eyes, big level devastations, army fighter involving dog fight with alien aircrafts etc. Its all there! Then, why would I mind the mediocrity of B grade cast and some lousy dialog? The movie delivers everything that you pay for to see in a SF.

Spoiler

In this movie you actually enter in a mother alien space ship which makes things more interesting.

Good entertaining, good ending, plot twists...

Do not worry, fallow my advise, see the movie... You won't regret

Ghosts of Mars is -I am sorry Mr. Carpenter- a third grade another "search and rescue mission" movie which offers nothing new to audience. I could only bear 15 minutes watching this pale, low level zombie flick. Cmon here, after being inundated with so many quality zombies recently, Carpenter's Maritian zombies really looks ridiculous.

Superb cast, very stupid story line and a childish execution. Yeah, you can expect a lead cast from Ice Cube in a space-action movie? Hold your breath.

In 90's maybe I could enjoy this movie a bit. But now, I just shift to another channel.

If you like to eye the beautiful and handsome cast, check this movie out. If you look for a decent movie, go for another one.

I did just take a look at Gangland for a few minutes yesterday. It was playing on one of the cheapest TV channels of my country. That channel was bankrupted and now on the list of sale of the government. Here, you can guess how bad and cheap Gangland as a movie is. I am almost sure the channel got this movie free of cost.

As I already mentioned above, I took me just a couple of minutes to realize that Gangland is worst on top of everything. It looks like a total waste of human resources. Even if all the actors in the movie came together for pro bono work, they could have done better.

No acting, no stroy line, no logic, no nothing. Just a horrible rip off of Cyborg. If you know that even Cyborg is considered a low budged cheap second grade action flick, now you can guess how bad its copy could be.

Avoid this ultra mega waste of time.

It would be unfair to comment that Adrenalin is boring at all. Although it was a low budget Pyun film, it has its moments. Although I watched the movie on TV, I still got some excitement. Not bad as a B grade thriller for mediocre audience like me! One thing I am still confused about, in the beginning of the movie it reads "Romania, western Europe", but the movie trailer says it is Boston.

Another plot hole of the film, to me, is if the guy who was infected by a virus something like rabies, seems to be sane and very intelligent. How could he be so clever and retain his mental composure? He was supposed to be delirious or in coma instead. I don't think the writer cared about this details.

3 out of 10, for the sake of the face value of Lambert, my icon.

I would not agree that the movie is straight out bad or lacking action or poor script. To me the main problem with the movie is that its so superficial and dry. The movie lacks the depth in terms of action, script, execution, everything. Very superficial. There is no twist of fate, surprise element, some clever idea to come up, etc. Everything is wrapped up so quickly and neatly.Another downside of the movie is huge factual/historical inconsistencies that boggle your mind! I am sure any anthropolog that has watched the movie must have gone nuts! A passable, mediocre flick. 4 out of 10. If you can get a cheap DVD, go for it to kill time. Do not expect too much.

Secret window is a quite entertaining movie with an intrigue story line. From the very beginning, you feel engaged and wonder what will happen next. However, the ending is very very cliché and a big let down. A promising suspense movie that blows it at the finale. I wish they worked out the ending and come up with a better one. If you noticed, the lead actress here was playing in the "pay back". There she was the lover of the hero who was betrayed by his wife. Here she plays the betrayer. A twist of faith. If nothing, Secret Window is worth watching just for Depp. Also I like Charless Dutton as always, although his role here is limited. (I don't know what is with this guy, he is so sympathetic and fills every role he is in)

Seduced by the flashy, brilliantly edited trailers and very promising cast, I went to the cinema to see the red planet with great expectations. What a boring 106 minutes it was.

The Red Planet is a mission mars movie, yet there is no aliens, no mystery, no high profile action, not a huge destruction of any sort. The entire movie is based on a dog shaped robot which runs berserk and why he did, don't ask me.

Man, this is supposed to be a sci-fi, not a documentary film about a misfortuned mars expedition. The highlight of the movie is the innumerous swarming small insects which is the only alien species in the whole movie. From the very beginning the movie is full of long cloggy dialogs and pointless conversations which leads nowhere. Men die one after another in despair, either running out of air or succumbed to a wound by the "natural causes".

To the end of the movie, you expect a surprising twist or some sort of action which never actually comes.

If you happen to go to the hall to see the movie, bring along your pillow and pijamas. You will be cursing yourself if you hire or buy the red planet. 1 out of 10 just for the sake of Val Kilmer, Moss and Seizemore.

I have been a Seinfeld fan right from the very beginning and watched almost all episodes and reruns time and again. Recently, I purchased the DVD set and started watching the first season again. It was as if I watch them for the first time! I re-watched each episode at least 10 times at any spare time I find.

To me, what makes this show great is, first of all, the story line is always derived from a real life situation. You always feel like, " I have been there before", and that makes you feel more interested as if you are living in the show.

Secondly, the cast is perfect. I can not imagine anyone else replace any of the characters! Not even some of the side characters such as Newman and other guest stars! Another point, which is not apparent to non-English speaking people about the show is maybe that the dialogs are voiced very slowly, clearly and penned carefully that you grasp the jokes easily even if English is not your mother language.

Thanks to all who involve in making this show. Since 10 is the highest mark here I give a double star 10. However, you can not set a highest rank for this show as it is priceless.

Contrary to most of the commentators here, I kind of thumb down for this movie. When I heard about the hyped remake with a hearth throbbing cast such as Crowe, Bale and Fonda etc, I thought this would be one of the spectacular movies of the year. However, from the very beginning there is something about the movie that makes you bored. The slow pace of the flick makes you flip over to another channel or doze off involuntarily. In my case as I watched the movie on board of a plane I just fast forwarded to skip all the in between scenes to catch up some exciting gun fighting episodes which you expect from any western. Basically the movie is focused more on the psychology rather than shooting. This might be a plus point for some, but for me it did not work out. When a western, I expect some slick shooting and fighting sequels. My friends, that's something you can not find in this movie. A good thriller, many tensions and a surprising end... But do not expect old school shoot'm up western with a good guy / bad guy plot.

I ran across this movie on a local TV channel last night. Frankly, I have never heard about this movie before. Simply, I lost track of Seagual's recent movies, for each one is worst than the previous one. Here, again we have a dull Seagal as if he was insisted by his girlfriend to make this movie and he accepted forcefully. The plot is ridiculous, acting is below zero, and there is no single aspect the movie is not falling apart. I simply don't have any idea why Seagal did this movie. Man, it is even worst than "Out for a kill"! If you watch this movie you will start feeling sorry for Seagal. He seems to be running out of ideas, enthusiasm and money. Avoid this movie and do something worthwhile.
