Great Action, but Cut Short
346355
I loved the book, however, felt the story line, about the extended "monster" family and her mother, was cut short. The premise and action was slightly different from the previous books in the Smoke & Fire Series. Overall, a good read, I'd buy it again.

An even faster than usual moving action flick than some of the earlier MI flicks with Tom Cruise, with some very interesting locations reminding me of the some of the Bond series. On the whole, I loved the stunt actions that were pushed to limits. In my case, as a hearing impaired using hearing aids  and therefore relying  somewhat on  the dialog through close captioning which is not available in "instant viewing", I missed out on some dialog important to the plot.
As a general comment on the current MI series, I must say that the original TV series, although lacking the kind of action and computer animation possible in today's film making, relied more on refined deception of villains instead of spectacular action and therefore seemed more clever in concept. Solely my personal opinion...

This is a great, fast paced action film that keeps you engaged even though you can guess the outcome.  Great acting and camera work.  Great effects.  Great story...except one thing....

***********SPOILER***********

Remember the part where all the cops were shooting at the train trying to hit that little red emergency stop button?  You know, the one overtop the FUEL tanks?

Well...then why didn't the fat guy at the beginning just push that instead of running and trying to get ON the train?

I think it's a valid point, but then the film would have only lasted 10 minutes.

***********OOPS!*************
We watched this again and my wife caught something.  Notice when toward the end as the trains go through towns that the train is already going past the crossing and the gates are coming down.  Remind me NOT to drive across tracks in Pennsylvania!

Very great game. I really enjoyed the story line. The graphics were amazing. The gameplay was pretty fluid. It was somewhat difficult to control the Trico at times. For the most part I loved it. I was disappointed how short it was.

Excellent action movie with great fight scenes. Denzel was an awesome monk warrior and Mila Kunis was a babe not to be trifled with. The evil boss and his head crony were also well casted. The music and the way this movie was filmed gave it an epic feeling to it, but the story is too one dimensional to be deserving of an epic categorization. To give you an example, the entire movie was probably filmed at no more than ten different locations because that's all it really needed. I thought the ending was good because it was a surprise, but I probably would have preferred a final action scene that left the streets bloody.

Twilight of the Dark Master was, in my opinion, a cool movie.  The main character was powerful.  In many movies, heroes and villains get into huge brutal battles, exhibiting phenomenal power but always managing to end with some dramatic finish and/or stalemate.  Not so with this.  Also, the animation was great and the ending very clever.  On the critical side, the movie was too short, leaving some questions unanswered clearly.  I would recommend renting before purchasing, as $20 is a bunch to pay for 50 minutes.

Tempted to give three stars, because, as everyone is saying, the game is one of the shortest out there (rivaling "Hunter: Redeemer"). I agree with the other reviewer...when the credits started rolling, I just about dropped my controller. I couldn't believe that was it. I completed the game two days after buying it. The reason I gave four stars is that the gameplay is excellent. Good array of weapons, controls are easy to get used to, and there is a good mix of action, with rapid-fire shoot-everything-that-moves mixed in with strategic sniping and quietly crawling around for good positioning to create an ambush on unsuspecting enemies. The game has brief movie clips of interviews with actual WWII veterans, movie reels from wartime, and a cheesey "letters from home" series of clips. I found that the combined time of watching and listening to all these "extras" added up to more than the time spent playing the game itself. It felt less like I was playing Xbox, and more like I was watching the History Channel.

Loved all the force powers and that I can throw, shock, crush, and smash enemies with the force. Had an interesting story. Overall, as a Star Wars fan I enjoyed it. I just wished I could have enjoyed it a little longer. I finished the game in about 10 hours, and could have done it in 5 had I not spent time looking for hidden holocrons and stuff.

I liked the quick pace, good action and suspense.  Enjoy the characters, good and bad.  The last chapter could have been a little more detailed, felt like ending was too brief telling information after the fact instead of describing events and conversation as they were happening.

Very well done film, gritty and probably very close to the truth of what happened and how information was obtained. However, the length of the film was problematic. I don't know how it could be shortened and they probably edited as much as they could without reducing the impact.

THIS IS A GREAT MOVIE, I WOULD GIVE IT 5 STARS BUT IT WAS MUCH TOO SHORT. IT WAS ABOUT A HALF HOUR SHORTER THAN THE OTHER TWO. THE DINO'S ARE AMAZING, THEY LOOK AS REAL AS EVER. THE ACTING IS GREAT EXAPT FOR TEA LEONI, IN MY OPINION LAURA DERN SHOLD HAVE HAD THAT PART. BUT LAURA DERN DOES APPEAR IN IT TWICE WITH A VERY SMALL ROLE(A CAMEO)THIS MOVIE INCLUDES A GREAT CAST FEATURING SAM NIELL, WILLIAM H. MACY, TEA LEONI, TREVER MORGAN, AND MICHALE JETER. THE TWO BEST SCENES IN THIS MOVIE IS THEM CROSSING THE CAGE AND GETTING ATTACKED BY THE PTERADACTYLS, AND THE AMAZING FIGHT BETWEEN THE T-REX AND THE SPINEASAURES IF YOU WANT TO SEE A GOOD MOVIE, LIKED THE ORIGNAL 2, AND DONT MIND IF ITS SHORT, I SUGGEST YOU SEE THIS MOVIE

The action was decent, the acting not so much.  The story moved quickly.  This would be an excellent movie for those with short attention spans.

I enjoyed the action although I didn't understand some of the technical jargon. The flow of the story could have been improved

The artwork is great, the theme is great, and its really fun. The only problem is its too short. It takes almost as long to set up as to play. Our family of four can play a game in fifteen minutes. I think it could work better for a bigger group, but for four people, there is not enough going on in that 15 minutes to justify all of the diverse elements.

This is the third in the macho McBride series.  Lots of action and adventure.  For me, the big minus was the absence of Harv, McBride's partner and best buddy.  Harv doesn't appear until the end when all the action is over.  Also, the two more than capable ladies with the FBI have limited roles in this one.  Still a good read.

Overall, I liked the film.  Stylistically, it was good, the actors performed their parts well (as they were written), and the action, while over-the-top towards the end, was well done.  However, I took off a point due to the fact that the action was over-the-top (not necessary), the choices that the characters had made were "out-of-character", and the direction was "okay".  Personally, I would have preferred the main antagonist(s) to have been introduced in a sequel.  Still, I look forward to the next outing with this iteration of the Superman mythos.  Hopefully, I will not be disappointed.

This DVD gives a great opportunity to work on form, especially for sweeping, but is too short.  At the end of the DVD you are invited to call a phone number to request a longer DVD, but my message was not returned.  I really like the interval work, but could use a longer warm up with some focus drills.
