Sometimes you read something and just shake your head.
Not sure exactly what the reviewer is looking for but to claim that Ironman 3 is a "disappointment" is plainly inaccurate.
Top at the box office, with an unbelievable blend of computer enhancements, humour and action myself, and all ov my friends who have seen it insist this is the best movie for years.
Oblivion: Does Tom Cruise Have Another Hit?
I don't think so! The director of TRON: Legacy and the producers of Rise of the Planet of the Apes bring together a science fiction based picture that felt like it is never going to end. This two hour long movie featured Tom Cruise, as Jack Harper, and other actors including Morgan Freeman, Olga Kurylenko and Andrea Riseborough. Oblivion is a movie based on an unpublished graphic novel written by its director Joseph Kosinski. The film was supposedly to be released on July 10, 2013, but the American release date was moved forward to April 19. The plot takes place in a futuristic setting of an abandoned Earth after an extraterrestrial invasion 60 years ago. Harper is a repairman assigned to a restricted zone and was never allowed to exit the area, but a random ship crashes one day and Harper’s days were never to be the same again. The movie was very dull as the lighting and the colors displayed on that big screen made me go into a deep state of depression. Despite its genre, it did everything but thrill me. It merely echoed many former blockbusters including the Matrix and Wall-E. Taking a phone call in the middle of this movie would not make you miss out on anything. Many have left the theater with no return. In the U.S.A the film made a fortune of 37 million dollars during its opening weekend, making it one of Cruise's best American openings along with Mission: Impossible and War of the Worlds. Despite all that, the movie drew countless negative critiques and reviews. The movie was in fact a complete bore as well as a disappointment rendered to the prominent actors Cruise and Freeman.

Yes i have tried my best at getting a chance as a writer but the Luck has not got so kind so far,my failure has not been able to make feel disappointed,i see sometimes there is going to come a day which would change my life all the while,i would become a renowned filmmaker of the world,taking showbiz as a business philosophy is what fascinates me but it does not fascinate me all along,i want to do something experimental,something challenging,something portraying the real life situations,something real enhanced by the power of my imagination,Kam ! I am in much need of being provided with a chance,help me please,my contact details are 0553476307
I thought Kiera was very good and most of all the cast. I didn't like how Joe kept going back and forth between scenes. He did it like a playwright on stage instead of on screen. For a person not knowing much about Anna Karenina it was hard for me to understand what was going on in the film.
I think he did good on "Pride and Prejudice" but this was garbage he put too much of his vision in this movie. So I give this movie two thumbs down. In this case reading the book and using your imagination is better than going to see this movie.
