Claymore (2007)

Hastily ended

[8/10 · 28 March 2014]

For those who know nothing about anime it should better be on your list of firsts.Except in the last 2 episodes and some scene in third last episode and hardly in some scenes of other previous ones the anime story follows the main story.but the real -2 on the anime is that it is hastily ended on following the manga it ends in a total wreck.besides that the main characters are excellent ; well connected to the story , the story-line is strong and the animation is good.what makes this anime good are the characters of the story line,they are complex as well as fairly simple to understand and feel for.the story line since is a monthly shonen so,doesn't suffer much stretching as for most of the weekly ones and has a sense of flow to it.It has everything you'd expect from a sword,dark fantasy tragedy anime and much more.

so if you are anime fan and like to watch it i think you should skip last two episodes and continue the story-line with manga.

Frozen (I) (2013)

What it lacks in everything makes up for it in Effect.

[6/10 · 10 December 2013]

Firstly, Amazing!,Amazing! and Amazing! 3D effect.It actually fells like snowing inside the theater,if your in that kinda effect.The 3D snow and the 3D ice effects in the scene where men sent by the duke of weasel-ton attempt to assassinate of the snow queen(Elsa) will make you jump from your seats.Not yet!.and what to say about Olaf that man (snow man)not only made me laugh but said some deep touchy things as well.Disney in fact has come long way making this movie.

But "IT WAS NOT WORTH IT !".If you are on of the little kids categories ,yes you will surely have to put no effort on squeezing more than enough fun from this movie but if you're an exclusion to that <13 category and,"AND" if you are looking for good entertainment,a good story and overall a good solid movie with nicely written,Great,Balanced plot its a waste of hope.Its not waste of money and time, it gives you your fair share of both but its waste of hope given by all those 10* reviews that it would be not just a good movie but a great movie.The whole story revolves around a small incident.Story it projects is so so so short that you might be watching frames in 3D and you'll never know it,even if you enjoy it.

ITs a good 108 minutes but Honestly i've seen animated movies 75 minutes shorter which made me feel like i knew the character my whole life.you will not get that feeling of growing up with Simba like in The lion king,heart pounding adventure like in tangled,Sense of purpose and importance like in wreck it Ralph.None of it.The character of Elsa was much more deep to be blown into snowflakes.her suppressed emotions would be many many times the whole emotional value of the film."she should have encountered a prince charming" is not what i'm saying but her emotions should have been probed further to give that sense of everlasting mark on the viewers heart.

The concept of true love among sisters is a fresh refreshment from all those other Disney princesses and even the unexpected plot twists are more noteworthy.It's just that it focuses only on one thing and leaves out the rest,Just like taking the baton and running alone in a relay race.And the musicals they are just annoying leaving out some of the greats like"For the First Time since Forever ","Let It Go"and"Do You Want to Build a Snowman" which beautifully complements the characters.

Lastly, As the Title the story line is also "Frozen" cold.The characters are not well developed in the story and are not attached firmly to it except the chosen few.well mix of emotions but they are not deep enough as they should be.It feels like going to the theater just to watch the 3D effect.Felling Deeply saddened by the fact that the enormous prospect of the story line is wasted and hoping that they some how would be able to make a sequel with much better story line.And this Film would have deserved a two stars but for the amazing 3D effects and obviously "Olaf".I must say that it was amazing intention in story but kinda lagged when in came out So,

Story (superficially)-4 (deep)-6(contained not only hint or gentle touch but a big smack of feminism only,other details that Disney was famous for lacked so [6]) Avg - 5

Sound - 7 (unneeded musicals but still great because of one or two "the great ones" mentioned above)

Animation - 9*(get ready to jump off your seats)

Characters - 8(beautifully created and with a hint of mystery)

Total Avg - 7.25 = 7 And minus - 1 (it felt like the movie could be much more ,could have been 9* on all levels)
