X-Men: First Class Review

After a weak movie Wolverine, First Class the Franchise of the X-Men Series is just a Superb Movie. The Movie is not at all linked by the previous version but it is all about where, how and when the war was started. The Child hood and the problems they faced specially Magneto and Professor X, How they first become friends and then enemies and how they build their own team to fight, one for right and peace one for war.

The Beginning is bit slow as the entire back ground was getting build up, entire team was build and each and every person was selected for the same. All the faces were new and even the characters like Diamond Girl, FlyGirl and other mutants too. Before Magneto was the bad guy, Kevin Bacon as Sebastian Shaw took the lead in the list of bad guys whose life got end in just seconds and just in simple way. 

The action sequence more over will start after the break and before it was just more of introduction round and background making. Professor X was a quite dull role with telepath and even if we compare it with Magneto. 
There were few errors in the movie which was easily observed. When Magneto is flying on the X Plane near to the sea level only his hair were moving with the wind none of his clothes? It was a big question to me. Even Supersonic word was used for Banshee to Fly and Hank mention to make Supersonic sound, How it is possible to travel faster than the speed of the sound.

From child to adult Raven was looking great but her costume was just clearly visible, it was the net garment she was wearing. Even Professor X moves his legs when lying injured on the beach and suddenly in the next shot he was shown as paralyzed within in few minutes. Even Erik wants Professor X to shoot at him with a gun and if you watch the entire scene then every time gun distance was different.

Diamond is suppose to be hardest substance but Diamond Girl Emma Frost was captured by Erik and her neck was just cracked when Emma was in Diamond form and even when the Girl was poisoned in CIA Quarters with Mirror window which was easy to break for diamond girl.
Any way lots of critics but Movie was just great, if you are new to the series I would say just watch the movie it is just great and you will not feel out of the topic. Even though if you are new to the word Mutant. If you were part of the previous franchise then too you will find movie interesting and movie surely goes with the story too.

At some point of time if you have seen the previous franchise of X-Men, then you will feel that this movie would have released first and then rest of it. The movie is great, the story telling is great and entire story goes well and even it could have much more complicated but it was not.

Last if you are going to watch movie due to Jack man the real hero with blades on the hand then just you will able to see just glimpse of him in the movies, just for 5 seconds only.

The movie is surely a hit and one should really watch.

Non Franchise watcher 8.5 out of 10
For Franchise watcher: 8 out of 10.

Good one.

Review: Ready

First Wanted, then Dabang and now Ready.....

The collections are pretty good till Monday Rs. 47 Crore (US $ 10.43 Million) Net have be raised by the box office and figures are moving on as it will be difficult to get ticket at last moment.

The Movie is simple and not complicated a purely family entertainment where A is running after B and B is after C and C is after D. In the mid of the movie you will surely start resembling the previous version of comedy by Devgan. 

The entire crowd of Theater were very excited about the entry of Salu and finally the loveable song "Dhinka Chika" by Mika Singh and Amrita Kak, the song is fantastic and It takes the entire show. Every one right from the kid to adult was dancing and shouting in the crowd.

Ready is directed by Anees Baxmee and with leading roles by Asin and Salman khan also Paresh Rawal, Arya Babbar and Mukesh Manjrekar in the supporting roles. Guest Appearance was given by Ajay Devgan, Sanjal Dutt, Kangana Ranaut, Zarine Khan and Arbaaz Khan in funny appearances. 

Ready was the remake of Telugu and kannad movie back in 2008 & 2009 and Anees has tries his level best to give a good comedy in the summer season.



What I didn’t like was the role of Asin, I don't know why she was simple with her over acting and her right side chin was not well in terms of the makeup. Rest everything was fine Salman was too good in the act Anees would have try little more harder in terms of Salman Dancing rest everyone was fine and movie goes well with the time, nothing else was distrating other than Asin. If you have watched the Mirinda commercial you will find the same behavior in the movie, I think she need to be taught good lessons of acting. Secondly from the Salman side there were not enough fight scenes which were a missing point in the movie. But if you are making a comedy movie then it is surely not possible but all the fans would have missed it.

The movie was shoot in Colombo and its final shoots were in Bangkok. Before there were controversies about the shot of bold scenes by Asin and Salman but finally there was nothing in the movie. The Movie will take the maximum advantage due to previous hits of Salman Khan and secondly the comedy movie in the Holiday Summer Season too.

In terms of rating, you might find very different views few might probably very high, few will be worst.

If you want to compare the previous movie Wanted & Dabang then I would rate it as 5 out of 10
Just Ready Review then 7.8 out of 10

It is good movie, one should really watch with the family and kids too and Salman Khan is looking dashing.

Hope you watch it.
