Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief

Percy Jackson, a teenager, a son of Poseidon, don’t know who his father is. As the title says, the story is about the stolen Zeus’s lightning bolt. The king of Gods places the blame on Percy and has given 14 days to return the bolt or a war of the Gods will begin. As a confused teenager, Percy is amazed by seeing his teacher turns to a beast, a pen into a knife, half-goat friend.

Percy wanted to convey the king of Gods about his innocence towards the lightning bolt and get back his mother. To his journey towards the hell, with the help of his half-goat friend and his beloved girl, Anna Beth. The movie is too fast but with the humorous actions made the audience bored. Chris Columbus, being a successful director of Harry Porter, failed once again after Night at the Museum 2. Better luck next time.

$95 million budget movie grossed only 30 %. My rating is 2.

This week movies are waste of money

The Wolfman

Lawrence (Benicio Del Toro) returns to his hometown to investigate the death of his brother Ben (Simon Merrels). Staying at his family’s estate with his estranged father John (Anthony Hopkins), Lawrence vows not to leave until he finds out the killer. By then, Lawrence was seriously wounded by an animal attack. Later, his bite marks threatens him to reveal itself with the approaching full moon. Did he cure from the bite? Did he become beast? Did he find the killer? The answers are the remaining story.

“The Wolfman” is strong in special effects of both visual and audio but failed to strengthen the base of the story. The thrilling horror scenes rocked in the Hoyts Extreme Screen but not in our heart because of ineffectual screen play and story. The cast was a good one but the performance was not. While Emily Blunt, as Gwen Cunliffe, moved from Ben’s fiancée to Lawrence closely made audience to “ooooohhhhh….”.

$150 million budget movie grossed only 35 %.
My rating is 2.5 for its special effects.

Asal

ASAL…. ASAL “Thalai”yin ASAL mokkai…. Really, we were running out of theatres. I didn’t say this to hurt any one. But, everyone stood up before the film’s getting over.

Bottomline:
Rescuing his youngest brother from a Mumbai Don and killing him latter. The involment of his 2nd youngest brother in killing their father made HERO to kill him as well.

Dialogues:
There were only 10 dialogues for AJITH. In the film, “THALAI” word came more than 30 times. Some of the dialogues are copied from the hindi movie “RACE”. In the opening scene, Sameera Reddy was discussing about the rescue operation of Indian High Commision in France with French officials. Those conversations were in TAMIL. Yuhi Sethu dialogues were excelent. I should advise Ajith to keep away from this department.

Songs/Dance:
Some Ajith fans were spotting that there was no intro songs like any other movies. But there is an intro songs by Sameera about Ajith. Only that song is quite good. Others were utter waste. “Tontadaing…Tontadaing….”. It’s a part of lyrics in a song. Check out the dance steps. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43Tg2cgKKzY . Ok steps were bad. We know that already but costumes were wery worse.

Music:
Bharatwaj has copied from Jab We Met song, James Bond theme music, and other old movies. He gave a fast beat in a climax stunt. But the stunt was not effective enough for that.

Stunts:
How can an owner (AJITH) of a famous weapon factory is fighting with empty hand? How can a maafia group fighting with empty hand? The film is in France not in any township near to Madurai. The crew has forgotten about this.

Heroines:
Bhavana and Sameera were beautiful throughout the movie. But no catching roles for them.

Hero:
Mr. Ajith Kumar thought the physical apperance will make the film hit. But there are lot of things in acting. Watch Kamal’s movie then you’ll get know about that.

Overall:
Apart from Yugi sethu’s comedy, the movie is itself comedy. Dance is comedy. Action is comedy. Love is comedy. Please take serious while investing 90 crores in a movie including Ajith’s salary [$1.25 million (6 crores) with 30% of the profit]. After success of various movies, Sivaji production will face finacial problem next to Nic Arts.

The filming is done in Paris, France. But, there is no need to go there for this film. Atleast, they should have gone to an African/ South east Asian country to reduce the cost.
My rating is 1.5.

DON’T WASTE THE MONEY. YOU WILL WATCH IT IN TV SOON. SARAN, who gave famous hit in KADHAL MANNAN and AMARKALAM, didn’t help for this movie.

AJITH:
You are acting only 1 movie in a year. So, think. Let’s see about your 50th Movie (with Gautham Mennon) @ your 40th Age. All the best !!! My first advise is to reduce your weight/size. Believe in your projects AASAI, Amarkalam, Attakasam, Villan, Aegan, Varalaru, etc.,.

Next week Vinnaithaandi Varuvaya.

Ayarathil Oruvan

The title suits for the Director Selvaraghavan not any one.

Plot

An archaeologist, Prathap, voyaged to an island near to Vietnam, to prove the survival of Chola’s descendent. Prathap’s daughter, with the help of government officials and kooli gang, went to find her missing father. Did they find her father? Did they find Chola? Did they return back safely?

Adventurous

First adventurous Tamil movie ever made. No-one expected Selva Ragavan would create this project after his success in various love stories. The 7 obstacles were very creative and opted well for the story. The graphics, that were used, were pity impressive i.e. it had grown up very well.

Lengthy

The movie ran about 3 hours and interval was after 1.75 hrs. The first half went very fast and fine but the second half didn’t reach the expectations, which first half created.

Violence

It had too much violence that made audience uneasy. It apt for the plot of the story. This film is only meant for Mature audience.

Gorgeous

The film has great value of Reema Sen and Andrea. Andrea acted far far better than Reema.

Unrealistic

Parthiban danced not as a king but as a Koole. All these false goes to the choreographer. Whoever it might me, he is very bad, without the knowledge of the dance (art – the right word) that a king should do.

Overall, it’s fine and worth to watch after flops from big stars. I heard, they’ve reduced 30 mins. Hope that will attract audience.

My Rating – 3.5
