Kill Zone 2

Kill Zone 2 had potential, but the plot is pretty atrocious. It looks okay, though, and some of the action is interesting.

The trailer for Kill Zone 2 made it look interesting (I think half of my reviews start this way). IMDb said the plot wasn't good, but the action was, so I went ahead and saw it. IMDb was accurate. The plot is pretty atrocious, but the action is interesting. Tony Jaa is fun to watch, and Jing Wu was good, too. Some of the dialogue probably came across better in the original language.

I'm really starting to hate breaking windows. I haven't seen it done well in so long. Luckily that wasn't a main feature here. There should have been more action. There were some long stretches without it, and they were terrible. I didn't like how it was mostly realistic action, and every now and then someone would do a wire stunt that stood out like a sore thumb.

Sky Ladder: The Art of Cai Guo-Qiang

Sky Ladder: The Art of Cai Guo-Qiang is kind of frustrating in how it just skims the surface of Cai and his art, but it's still interesting to watch.

I read a review of Sky Ladder on Ebert's website, and it sounded interesting. Unfortunately, the review pretty much laid out the entire movie. The movie seemed to just kind of skim over the surface of things. It didn't go in-depth on much. I guess it really was mostly about the Sky Ladder project, which is a pretty weird project.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

Hands-down the best in the franchise. I actually liked it, although maybe after The Scorpion King, I would've enjoyed anything. Also, I think I'm becoming immune to the terrible camp of the family. Not only did they switch out actresses for Evelyn, but they also switched out her character, which was a little weird, but whatever; like I said, the family's going to suck no matter what, so you've got to focus on the other part of the movie, which of course had Asian people, so I enjoyed it thoroughly. I was also happy to see Jonathan, which was unexpected, but I liked his character in this one. And I liked the yeti, and the sorceress. Also, it wasn't in the desert for once, and they didn't do the stupid repetition thing.
