Captain America: The First Avenger

Description

Captain America: The First Avenger will not be just another one of those "ripped from the comics" movies that have become a 2011 Hollywood staple. No way. "Captain America himself looks remarkably fit for a super-hero who celebrated his seventieth birthday in 2011, and his box office prospects are remarkably sanguine, too. For all those years, Captain America consistently has ranked well-up the list of popular comic characters. Maybe not the sexiest man alive, but a perpetual contender, and always the consummate patriot. Therefore, producers, writers, directors, actors, cinematographers, all the grips, and even the craft services crew understand they have their hands full as they make Captain America: The First Avenger. Their main character is, after all, revered as the United States' bravest, noblest, most-selfless, and greatest hundred-and-one percent hero…ever. "Captain America: The First Avenger tells the story from the beginning. Our hero, Steve Rogers, is rejected for service in World War II—very highly motivated but sadly unfit physically. Determined to serve, Rogers volunteers for "Project: Rebirth," a super-secret project that gives him the ultimate make-over, making him a super-soldier. The brass dub him "Captain America" upon his completion of training. Teaming-up with intrepid sidekick Bucky Barnes, "The First Avenger" kicks some serious Nazi butt as he fights "Red Skull," director of advanced weaponry for the Reich. Well-funded, well cast, well-scripted, Captain America: The First Avenger promises to kick some serious box office butt in the summer of 2011, putting all those other comic movies to shame.

Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters

2013
Action & Adventure
Tommy Wirkola's Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters storyline is set the fifteen years after the events described in Brothers' Grimm book "Hansel and Gretel" which was written in 1812. The story of Grimm's characters, two siblings Hansel and Gretel, is well known around the world. Two children were left deep in the forest by their merciless father and stepmother provoked him to do such a horrible thing. After the days of wandering and starving, siblings have encountered a strange house built of gingerbreads, cakes and caramel. Hungry children began to eat the house walls when "very old woman" came out of house and greeted poor children, welcoming them to enter her abode, promising to feed them and give them a rest in soft and clean beds. The reality was that "very old woman" was nothing more than a ordinary witch willing to cook and eat Hansel and Gretel. However, smart siblings recognize her true intentions and happily escape home outwitting the old with by luring her into the oven. Besides this, they have stolen most of her gold, making them and their father incredibly rich (thanks to God their evil stepmother were dead by unknown reason by this time.) Coming back to the movie, after the fifteen years Hansel (Jeremy Renner) and Gretel (Gemma Arterton) became the professional witch hunters equipped by the last word of modern warfare industry of those times: pneumatic shotguns, arbalests etc. The nice pair was hired by the Mayor of Augsburg to track down and slay the most powerful witches of that region. This easy at the first look task, is going to be much more complicated as the local Sheriff, named Berringer (Peter Stormare), steps into this business. The movie is colorful by all the meanings: the horror, action, black humor and awesome witches are united in one watchworthy story – what could be better? As per witches, they are really great. Just imagine Monique Ganderton, Joanna Kulig, Ingrid Bolso Berdal, Zoe Bell as the 3D-enchanced furiously powerful godless creatures and Renner with Arterton exterminating them. Huh?
Jonah Hex

Jonah Hex

2010
Action & Adventure
The new comic book adaptation titled "Jonah Hex" has a chance to become a new subspecies of a Hollywood blockbuster movie. Which, unlike similar to it, "Van Helsing" and "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen", boasts at least that there is no monstrous budget spent only on the CGI and still do not understand that. All are attached to ordinary story about an unusual hero against the forces of evil money not spent in vain - despite the feeble mind of local writers, the picture and dynamics in this are pretty good. But the lack of a coherent plot and its quality does not allow "Jonah Hex" to become something more than fantasy gunman at a time. "Professional and extremely steep mercenary in the best tradition of Western fighters dealt with the bad guys, that everything else resorted to the resurrection of the dead. Well, just as some representatives of the genre on occult themes. Unlike "John Hex" is that the hero was a little maimed and disfigured on one side of the face attached to the character of Josh Brolin sort of grim fascination. Besides, he enjoys exotic weapons such as crossbows and slaughter that was particularly funny - two miniguns pinned to ride a horse! On the part of any claims, action games - very bright and juicy, while gunfire and explosions in no way spoiled special effects, just the opposite. "For the rest, "Jonah Hex" just a collection of beautiful pictures without any good sense. Again, good vs. evil, it's pretty primitive, but effective. In true, everybody will be very pleased with the lack of oak dialogues and unnecessary pathos. Fortunately, the creators focused on the rigidity of action scenes and even the history of the protagonist, which is interesting main story. In addition, there is John Malkovich and even Megan Fox, which, apparently, after her disagreement with Michael Bay, is now doomed to get stuck in the semi-thrash movies for a long time. Generally "Jonah Hex" is worth watching, but only because of pretty pictures and good overall performances.
