Kite (2014)

That was an excellent one.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

I wasn't expecting too much from this film. A cartoonish, stylish, over the top pseudo science fiction with lots of action and violence were in the mix for my bag of expectations for that kind of films. I kind of got all those in the bag and some more. The direction was nothing revolutionary but stylistically nice and well paced. The acting was decent. The twists were not that unexpected for an experienced viewer but enough to keep an average viewer guessing till the end. I really don't understand the reviewers lately. I think some of them are trying to promote or demote some certain films. I realize there's some kind of common pattern in some one star and ten star reviews and frankly don't trust them anymore. Well my real rating may be around 6 and a half to seven stars out of ten but honestly I gave 8 to compensate those false one star ratings. When you read some of them you think either those people have never watched those kind of films before and don't know what to expect or they are flat out dishonest. If you want a decent pseudo sci-fi action film with a young heroine than you may want to give this film a chance.

You know you're watching a bad movie when you immediately dislike it after 5 minutes and then in hope of the movie improving it doesn't after 20 minutes. Then when you have lost all hope that this movie will improve you immediately turn off the movie. Kite is one of those movies that has the dishonour of being one of those bad movies that I have pressed stop after 20 minutes. Yes, this movie was so bad I could not go a minute further.Kite seemed like Kick-Ass (2010) meets Mad Max (1979). This movie is unpleasantly and unappealingly violent and the action scenes were also very poor and unexciting. Apart from the little known cast, what on earth was Samuel L. Jackson doing in such a rubbish movie?! Looks like he needed a bit of extra money to pay the bills and to keep up his work ethic.Unless this type of movie appeals to you, don't bother.1/10.

If you like highly immoral sexual themes, bad sound design and mixing and less logic than "The Purge Anarchy." You'll love this. I really don't have much more to say about it. It wasn't really well thought out. That being said: Visually pretty cool. There was some really nice shots and the picture overall definitely didn't conform to "the norm" which I always commend. Overall it could have used way more love. It felt like no-one actually enjoyed the making of this film or put any real effort into it. They had a main girl character which you could say is great- But it was so typically taken advantage of. It's like the film makers just wanted to turn her into a marketing strategy for sex. She had no character, she wasn't a powerful person. There was SO much space to turn her into a really memorable character. I wouldn't recommend this film to anyone, but i guess there is a market for it.

Review: What a terrible movie! The acting is extremely poor and the movie seemed cheap and not really thought through. I got fed up with trying to follow the predictable storyline and the girl that played the lead just didn't do it for me. Basically, its about a young girl whose trying to find out who killed her father, with the help of Samuel L. Jackson who was her father's partner in the police force. The young girl goes round taking down crime bosses, with ease, just to find out that the culprit is closer than she thinks. From the beginning you know exactly what's going to happen, so it was pretty badly written and directed. The scenery looks really cheap and I really don't know were the director found these terrible actors. Samuel L. Jackson must have done the movie as a favour to the director because I can't see him reading the script, thinking that it was going to be amazing. Personally, I think that it was a total waste of time and money and I just hope that they don't try and kick off a franchise.Round-Up: What the hell is Samuel L. Jackson doing in this terrible movie. He certainly doesn't need the money, so there must be a hidden agenda, why he agreed to have his name tied to this film. The leading character has only starred in a couple of TV series and she made a brief appearance in one of the Underworld movies. At the age of 20, she really needs to get a move on if she wants to make it in Hollywood because this movie doesn't do her any justice. The same goes for the young boy, who also wasn't that great in the film, so it's obvious that the director casted Samuel L. Jackson to try and get an audience. Sadly, I doubt that people will even rent it on DVD because it's really not that good.I recommend this movie to people who are into there action/thriller movies about a young girl trying to find out who killed her father with the help from Samuel L. Jackson. 2/10
