Karate Kid is a movie starring Jaden Smith (Will Smith’s kiddo) and Jackie Chan. The story of a small boy who has to move to China due to his mother’s employment issue. The boy finds it hard to adjust to the new environment. In China he tries to hook up with a little gal where in he gets into trouble with the local boys. The story continues to show how Jackie helps this boy to stand up to the bullies he met while trying to hook up with that gal. Life in China shown beautifully. Especially the festival and the culture.  The script is just the normal. To see Jaden do all that Kung Fu is astonishing and the moves are mind blowing. By the way one thing I didn’t understand till the end and till now is that why this movie was named Karate Kid when actually the movie was all about teaching Kung Fu. A good movie in case you need to pass time.

Law Abiding Citizen (2009)

Law-Abiding-Citizen

A Brilliant story line starring Gerard Butler and Jamie Foxx both people of the law who face the worst of each other. The story starts with showing a happy family of Gerard with daughter and wife. The next moment both wife and child are killed and Gerard is left to mourn for them. Gerard’s attorney Jamie Foxx who plays a budding DA thrives to keep his execution rate high and moves some cards in the wrong manner which Gerard the frustrated man here doesn’t like. Gerard decides to take justice into is own hands and how he does it and with whose help he does it is really astonishing. The script is fast and the speed never slows. The dialogues in the movie are very apt and when ever somebody in the movie makes a point the same is crystal clear. Brilliant combination between Gerard and Jamie. Great storyline and apt visuals makes the movie a treat to watch. A treat with a very strong message I should say.

The Last Airbender (2010)

 

Last Airbender

The story is about skilled people of four types for benders (people who can bend the four elements – earth, fire, water and air). Each of the bender tribes live in harmony in four different parts of the world when the fire benders decide to show their supremacy by conquering and ruling over the other tribes. When the start their conquest they seem to have conquered a whole lot of the world and stil progressing. When all hope is lost there comes one boy who is set to change the state of affairs. The boy comes from a long line of Air Benders and the last of his kind. the air Benders are considered to be the ones with supreme power as they are considered to master all four elements and become the avatar. But the boy only knows how to bend Air in the beginning then they move on to the Water kingdoms to learn the art of bending Water. The movie goes on to tell whether or not the boy could stop the fire kingdom. The movie being 3D could have been more vivid. The expectations were to much as it was a film from Night Shyamalan. He had always cornered the visuals but may be because this was his first shot at 3D that he couldn’t score the same. A great hats-off to Dev Patel who plays Prince Zuko (an angry prince who wants to capture the air bender in order to get back his honor in his fathers kingdom). His exceptional acting has provided a great deal to this movie. The main character being a boy is apt. Overall the picture has a good flow but dont expect too much of anything cos the film is a film nothing more to say about it.
