Riddick (2013)

So worth it

[10/10 · 30 September 2013]

I travelled miles to another city to see this movie and was not disappointed.

If you're familiar with Riddick, as I am, this film ticks all boxes and delivers the brutal in-your-face-action, suspense and ironic moral values you would expect from a Riddick film. It's dangerously butch.

When compared with the previous two instalments it DOES NOT disappoint in these respects, I believe it exceeds the previous films in these respects.

However, it could be said the main purpose of this movie is re-introducing audiences to Riddick. Don't get me wrong, I never noticed this when I saw the film, but you have to remember it's been nine years since the previous movie.

This is a good thing because you DON'T need to have seen the previous films to understand Riddick.

One criticism that has been pointed at this film is that some audiences may find their attention lagging. To this I say: "Get your head in gear! This is a suspenseful, deep and edgy thriller, appreciate good cinema when you see it!"

Spider-Man: Web of Shadows (2008 Video Game)

There's only one good thing about this game.

[4/10 · 12 March 2012]

And it's sure not the gameplay. Lets keep this review tidy, I will rate the game on each category:

Voice acting: Spiderman is a whining nerd and horrible to listen to. The other voices were fine Tricie Helfer is charismatic and interesting as Blackcat, and Vulture is spot on correct.

Atmosphere: Terrible, awful, definitely the thing that lets this game down is the terrible atmosphere. Ugh, it's horrible, TRULY HORRIBLE ughhh, usually the atmosphere in Spiderman games is a great one, but for this game it was just not doing it for me, it was depressing and bleak and miserable, in a bad way.

Gameplay: tedious and not enjoyable, Spiderman's fighting is totally messed up and easily the worst spiderman combat ever seen in a video game, why ? Because it's so exaggerated and unrealistic, totally messed up, you can actually stay transfixed in the air by performing Black suit spideys air upper-cut punch attack repeatedly, he will drift across buildings in the air, not falling. The rest of the unrealisticism is too complex and tedious to explain but all you need do is look up the reviews on youtube to see it.

The enemies are not the worst I have seen, but the electro symbiotes are lame, the Robot guys who sound like Gary Chalk when they yell "Awe !!!!" after they get hit are so annoying and the bad enemies really compliments the bad atmosphere of this horrible game.

Story: Bad

Overall, I may not be the most professional of reviewers but I would strongly advise you to avoid this game if you have to choose between this and any other Spidey games. You WILL be disappointed and probably come out of it HATING Spiderman, were as you come out of Shattered Dimensions loving him and liking the whole thing.

This game is just a bad representation of Spiderman and the Spiderman universe, get Shatterd Dimensions, the games of the movies instead. Ultimate Spiderman is better than Spiderman edge of time but I'm not as keen on that one.
