Avatar Review
Thanks for checking out my Avatar review.
The Good: Everything about this movie is just amazing. The visuals, action, special effects, acting, everything is awesome.
Action is amazing. James Cameron is one of the classic directors of action films(True Lies, Terminator, Terminator 2). Action scenes are absolutely amazing...
Sam Worthington is becoming a great actor. Really effective performance by him, and everyone else in the cast is stellar.
Visuals deserve an Oscar without even a thought.
Original and phenomenal story.
The Bad: The only problem with this movie for me was the first half hour. In that time, I thought the movie wasn't getting started very good. They explain it well in the first half hour, but it kind of dragged and took a while for me to get started. But after Sam Worthington becomes that Avatar, the movie is a breathtaking masterpiece.
Overall: Avatar is an epic, breathtaking, visually stunning, and amazing movie. One of my favorite movies of all-time, and I could see it again and again. A must-see. 9.5/10.

Blood Diamond (edited) Review
Here's my first edited review for Blood Diamond.
"Set against the backdrop of civil war and chaos in 1990s Sierra Leone, 'Blood Diamond' is the story of Danny Archer (Leonardo DiCaprio), a South African mercenary, and Solomon Vandy (Djimon Hounsou), a Mende fisherman. Both men are African, but their histories as different as any can be, until their fates become joined in a common quest to recover a rare pink diamond that can transform their lives. While in prison for smuggling, Archer learns that SolomonÂwho was taken from his family and forced to work in the diamond fieldsÂhas found and hidden the extraordinary rough stone. With the help of Maddy Bowen (Jennifer Connelly), an American journalist whose idealism is tempered by a deepening connection with Archer, the two men embark on a trek through rebel territoryÂa journey that could save Solomon's family and give Archer the second chance he thought he would never have." Moviefone.com.
The Good: Breathtaking performances. Leo Dicaprio was awesome. Djimon Hounsou gave one of the best performances ever. Other than Heath Ledger's supporting role in the Dark Knight, Djimon Hounsou rises up to that level in Blood Diamond. Great performance, and acting has never been this breathtakingly real.
The Action is very intense and exciting. Your supposed to hate it, since the people treated Africans terribly, even shooting little kids. But action is rarely this exciting and chaotic.
The Cinematography was beautiful. Parts of the movie make you think "How on earth did they film this?" Well Done.
The Bad: Wow. Some parts are overly long and boring. Your supposed to pay attention, but the preaching can get on your nerves a bit.
Jennifer Connelly was disappointing, being surrounded by several superior actors.
Overall: Blood Diamond is an exciting, smart, and action-packed movie. Performances were the best part, too, especially Djimon Hounsou. Bravo. If you catch it on TV, it's definitely worth a look or two. Very good movie. 8/10.
