A post-Avengers sequel that holds up nicely.

Verified Purchase:Yes
After Avengers, I wondered where Marvel would go with these stand-alone superhero sequels. So far, I feel like Iron Man 3 and Thor: The Dark World have fallen a bit flat…but Captain America: The Winter Soldier is clearly a winner. With a solid story having to do with the corrupted inner-workings at Shield--and a friend/foe from Cap's past--this sequel feels right. The acrobatic action scenes are a visual treat and the actors do a great job portraying their respective roles (I like how we get to see Nick Fury's more vulnerable side).
Even though everything comes together well here, I still felt like I wanted a bit more. Perhaps I was deterred by the hokey way that everyone was prepared for every situation and escaped so easily…I don't know. Nitpicks aside, this is still a very solid superhero movie. 4/5 stars.

The Definitive Street Fighter 4

Ultra Street Fighter 4 is pretty much the same as 2011's Super Street Fighter 4: Arcade Edition, but this time we get 5 new characters (Decapre, Elena, Hugo, Poison, and Rolento), 6 new stages, and a few new gameplay mechanics. Of course, existing characters have received damage increases and nerfs as needed (you can even switch between which edition of the character you want to use). Also worth noting is that this edition includes ALL of the previously released DLC costumes--very nice.
Unfortunately, most of the "new" content here is lifted from Street Fighter X Tekken. Hugo, Rolento, and Poison are cut-and-paste from that game--save for an added ultra combo--and all of the new stages are also ripped directly from Street Fighter X Tekken. As for Decapre…she plays a lot differently than Cammy, but she does share most of her animations--so she doesn't quality as an entirely new character. Elena is represented nicely here and plays exactly the same as her 2D counterpart from Street Fighter 3.
While some aspects of this update seem lazy, there's no denying it's the definitive version of Street Fighter 4. At this point though, the revisions added are strictly for hardcore SF fans.

A good sequel, but not as impacting as the first

A long time in coming, this sequel to the original 300 had a lot riding on it. Surprisingly, it had a fairly quiet and quick run in theaters. Nevertheless, "300: Rise Of An Empire" is a solid sequel--filled with the same over-the-top gore and cinematography as its predecessor. And yet, therein lies the problem…we've seen this kind of movie before (most recently in "The Spirit" and "Immortals"), so it's not as fresh.
Still, I really recommend this one to fans of the original (and action junkies in general). It's mindless fun, and as long as you don't expect much realism you'll enjoy it. 4/5 stars.

Frankenstein Reimagined

Posted by: Electronaut72

Verified Purchase:Yes
"I, Frankenstein" is an original take on the Frankenstein's Monster story. Aaron Eckhart is believable as the brooding monster, though the plot has him allying with gargoyles to fight demons--a far cry from the original Frankenstein story we all know. To be fair, "I, Frankenstein" begins where Mary Shelley's Frankenstein ends, so it's anyone's guess where things would go from there. Bill Nighy is cast as the demon leader, and he's excellent as always. There's plenty of fighting, fiery special effects, and the 3D is a nice bonus.
Ultimately, this is a popcorn flick that entertains but isn't hefty on story or runtime (it's under 90 mins long). However, if you like fantasy and sc-fi, "I Frankenstein" is a fun experiment and worth a watch.
