  The A Team

  

  Another night at the theater! This time I went to see The A Team. Actually I was surprised by it in a good way. When I first saw the trailer I thought: "oh they seem to have good action and nice liners." But I was still skeptical because one of the actors in the movie. I don't think he's a bad actor, but for me he was associated too much to romantic comedy that I doubted. But he was good and the character was one of my favorite of the movie in the end. It was really funny, everybody in the room laughed the entire time of the movie. The actors were good. The action is nice. Humor is a really big part of that movie so if you're looking something to make you laugh after a bad day it's the movie to see.

  Some soldiers went on a mission to get back plates (for printing money). But they were framed and end up in jail. Now they are looking for revenge and want to clear their name. I don't know how close the TV show it is I sadly never saw it. But I really enjoyed it. 8/10

  The Karate Kid

  

  I'm just back from theater. I went to see Karate Kid. The first thing you need to know if you wonder if you want to go or not is that it's more a remake than a new original movie.

  

  A kid (Will Smith's boy) is moving to Beijing after his dad died, because his mother has a job opportunity there. But being a foreigner he has a lot of trouble with the kids from Beijing and keeps getting beating by them. So a Man (Jackie Chan) will come to his rescue and teach him kung fu.

  

  The visual is really attractive with nice view of China. The action scenes are nice too. You do get attached to the main characters and totally hate the little bully and his teacher. So over all it's a good movie. It's really entertaining but it's more of a remake so know before you go that you'll have a feel of déjà-vu. 8/10

  Prince of Persia Sands of Time

  

  Wow, it one of the rare films based on a movie I can say I'm not disappointed in. The feel of the movie is similar to the game, all the crazy stunts, walking on wall, jumping from roof, nice slow motions. The story was made for the movie, so it's not trying to adapt a game's story on the screen so there isn't the bad side for trying to fit an existing story in a new media. But the story they created fit the atmosphere of the games, so if you like the game you will still like the movie.

  

  Ok you might say royal family being caught in some kind of conspiracy and murder isn't something amazingly original, but who care we always love those stories. It's always a good excuse for epic action, romance, strong bound, to feel injustice and anger.

  The movie has nice visual, all this sun, sand, medieval age and Middle-Asia kind of building, it takes you somewhere else and we always like to leave a little while fromeveryday life for some fantasy world. 9/10
