Action & Adventure > by Title (by first letter)

Advantages: Some good special effects.
Disadvantages: Dreadful acting and even worse writing and direction.

In a remote mountain village, hunter D'Leh has found the love of his life in the beautiful young Evolet. When a band of marauding warlords raid the village and take Evolet D'Leh and a small band of hunters give chase. Their pursuit takes them to the ends of the earth to find her. They must do battle with prehistoric creatures before finding themselves in a lost civilisation. Their fate lies in a city of great pyramids built to appease a living god ...
...known for his big, stupid special effects-laden movies but here he's really outdone himself. If you thought "Independence Day" was brainless, you haven't seen anything yet. At least that movie had a semblance of a story, a handful of decent actors and a sense of humour. The problem with this one is that it has no idea what it's talking about but takes itself seriously anyway. I knew it was going to be bad the moment the chewily-accented narration ... Read review

Advantages: Visually Stunning.
Disadvantages: Same old Same.

10,000 BC. This will be a short review which is what this film deserves. From the director of 'Independence Day' and 'The Day After Tomorrow' comes a film that is visually stunning. The film starts with D'Leh as a young boy, when hunters return having found a young girl with blue eyes, Evolet The witch of the village predicts that soon Warlords will come and attack the village. She also forcasts that the man, who the blue eyed girl choses as ...
...by the warlords and D'Leh sets off on a quest that will involve love, honour, spirits, adventure, death, redemption and salvation. Oh and along the way he will pick up an army. The acting is not the best, but I suppose playing someone just above a caveman doesn't need Noel Coward. The commentary that comes at intervals is accented and unneccessary. The story really is predictable and nothing new. The costumes of the bad guys are a bit 'mad max'. ... Read review

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Bad acting, bad and predictable story line, awful special effects

...in time to the year 100 million bc, something predictably goes wrong and they are trapped there with no hope of return. They come up witha way to comunicate into the future, and later Dr. Reno leads a mission to try and rescue the team, unfortunately this also goes wrong and they manage to bring a large man eating dinosaur back to 1940 with them which is then let loose on LA. The Film This is one of the worst films I have seen for a while, ...
...however the way it has been portrayed by the actors and the script it has been ruined, it seems rushed and thrown together. The acting isn't brilliant but I suppose they have done the best they could with a bad script amongst other things, although it seems as though they have all read the script and thought 'god this is awful' and acted that way too. The special effects are also very poor, in fact there is nothing particularly special about them, ... Read review

Advantages: Excellent performances, chiefly from Ledger.
Disadvantages: Final third could have been a film in its own right.

With the passing of Heath Ledger in January of this year, there was always going to be an unusual kind of interest in this film, the sequel to 2005´s Batman Begins. As much as audiences are keen to see if director Christopher Nolan´s follow-up is as strong and hard-hitting as its predecessor, there´s also the inevitable semi-morbid curiousity that comes in seeing a well-known actor´s last role, especially so soon after his death. I´ve never been ...
...Here, though, he excels. While the film is good, Ledger is great - if an actor could choose a level of performance to go out on, this would be it. At the end of Batman Begins, Lieutenant Gordon (reappearing in this film, Gary Oldman) alludes to a villain at large in Gotham City whom Batman (Christian Bale) promises to track down. This villain, Ledger´s Joker, is Batman´s principal nemesis in Dark Knight, reprising the conflict last shown nearly ... Read review

Advantages: good film to watch
Disadvantages: no real story that holds you watching

2 fast 2 furious is obviously the folow on from the movie fast and furious, to completely understand the storyline you are better off watching the first film before watching this one but if you just want to watch this one you will still be able to enjoy it as the storyline isnt hard to follow. Paul Walker returns in this film as the police officer Brian Oconner who has been stripped of his badge, he teams back up with ex con Tyrese as he takes the ...
...transport a shipment of dirty money for a dodgy miami based importer/ exporter. During all of this he is actually working under cover for mendes to bring vernon down in an attempt to get his job in the police force back, to see if he suceeds you will have to watch the film. This is an action film that will appeal to any boy racer or car enthusiast out there, the story line to this film isnt brilliant but the acting is good and is a good way to pass ... Read review
