The Punisher 5.0 Stars
Absolutely amazing film. If you like a cool heroic figure and hardcore action consisting of lots of guns, fist fights, and explosions then this film is for you. It has a very good storyline too which adds up to all that awesome action. Thanks to this film The Punisher became by far my most favourite comic book hero.

28 Weeks Later... (2007,  R)
28 Weeks Later... 5.0 Stars
This film was pure classic! Not only it had an amazing element of horror, but it had incredibly tense action scenes and just an overall wow factor. One scene reminded me of Resident Evil Apocalypse, but obviously this movie is way better. It showed really well of how a serious situation got out of control and how almost nothing could be done about it except for extreme measures.
It also had one little interesting biological concept about infection.
Overall I think this is what the horror movies should be like and I would recommend it to anyone who is not squimish to gore.

Hot Fuzz (2007,  R)
Hot Fuzz 5.0 Stars
This was a very unique film. It was a mixture of comedy, action and even a bit of horror/thriller too and managed to capture the best from each genre. The story is very interesting and consuming and keeps you guessing, supported by a very funny and very cool action. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost played their roles exceptionally well and suit to be playing side by side. This is definitely a must see film this year.

Shoot 'Em Up (2007,  R)
Shoot 'Em Up 5.0 Stars
This film has the best gunfight scenes that I have ever seen. Special effects were extremelly well polished and the action even had some laughs.
I also really liked Clive Owen's character. He suited the whole dark type of hero a lot and the whole carrot theme was pretty funny and unique.

Doomsday (2008,  R)
Doomsday 5.0 Stars
I really love these kind of movies - some kind of a deadly infection has gone out of control.
Maybe it wasn't that special plotwise, it definitely excelled in action, and by excelled I mean completely conquered every type of action there is. It perhaps had everything in it actionwise: an epidemic of infection and the extreme measures used against it, some sickly gothic bloodfest, unbelievable car chases, cool gun fights, medieval face-offs and martial arts. This movie is definitely for action lovers.
The lead actress did a good job as a cool stylish hardcore heroine who pretty much kicks anyone's ass and also has quite a darkside to her.
I'm glad that I wasn't disappointed with this film, because I spent more money on it than I usually spend on DVDs.
Definitely will recommend this to you if you loved 28 Days/Weeks later, I am Legend and Resident Evil movies.

300 (2007,  R)
300 5.0 Stars
This film was really worth it. It had some of the most amazing battle scenes ever, using slow and fast motion assisted with tonnes of blood. The characters were very well played and had a very strong aura to them. But apart from that this film was extremelly unique due to its amazing yellow theme colour.

Saw IV (2007,  R)
Saw IV 5.0 Stars
As usual this SAW sequel introduced a whole lot of new characters, as well as brought some old ones back. It rescued the series as it was better than the 3rd movie in my opinion. It still contained tonnes of gore, but it also brought an interesting story, it's as if the whole case went back to the start as someone else resumed Jigsaw's work.
The story is pretty clear throughout the movie right up to the ending when it got extremelly confusing. (if someone wants to discuss it with me then I'd be happy to, because I did not entirely understand it)
The soundtrack got even better. A lot of new tunes which are based off the original Saw theme tune. I really enjoyed listening to them throughout the movie.
Overall - an excellent movie that can match up to the first two in the series.

Hellboy II: The Golden Army (Hellboy 2) (2008,  PG-13)
Hellboy II: The Golden Army (Hellboy 2) 5.0 Stars
Absolutely beautiful movie. The visual effects are just amazing and are crawling with rich fantasy.
The storyline wasn't anything to spit at either. It introduced a whole new element of fantasy into the franchise with many interesting characters.
Now to the characters. Ron Perlman still does an amazing job as Hellboy. Hellboy still has his cool attitude with witty one liners. Same for Abe Sapien. He's a very interesting character and there was a funny scene in a movie when him and Hellboy sang together. Liz Sherman by Selma Blair was even cooler in this one than in the first one. Not much else to say really, but there was a good chemistry between her and Hellboy. Krauss was a funny new character. He was kind of like half ghost and half robot. Shows how great and original the ideas in this film are as this character was very unique... and with a German accent. Prince Nuada was a great villain with his sister Princess Nuala who was opposing him. Overall the variety of the creatures in this film is simply amazing. There are so many!
The action scenes as you expect are also exceptional, in particular towards the end. I mean if you've got fascinating creatures like that then surely action involving them will be just as amazing.
If you are a fantasy fan or are overall a fan of modern action films then I would highly advise you to watch this film, because it's definitely a unique one.

Spider-Man 3 (2007,  PG-13)
Spider-Man 3 5.0 Stars
I LOVED this film!!! The fight sequences were just mind-blowing and the fact that there were 3 villains in it just makes it even better.
Acting was better than in the 1st two films, I think and all of the characters were very well developed. It went to the point where you could feel what each of them feels.
I especially enjoyed the special effects of Sandman, especially when he only just got formed and was getting out of sand.
This film also has a very amazing soundtrack, especially the Venom theme music.
The only drawbacks are that the fight sequences were more rared out than in the 1st two films and that Venom made a bit of a late move for Peter Parker so only was for the 2nd half of the film.
Watch out for the ending fight, it's just the best!!!

Wow! I cannot even begin to describe how much I enjoyed the action in this. Everything - blood splashing, guns, flamethrowing, machete slashing, telekinesis, you name it.
And a lot of characters too, with plenty of gory deaths. I must say I've enjoyed this one more than the previous two. The zombified birds definitely did it for me, and a brilliant ending too. Hope there will be a part 4.

One of Arnie's best films. This film has a very amazing and interesting storyline with a few twists. Special effects are really good for that time and action is very entertaining. If you are an Arnie fan then you should definitely see this film. Very similar to '6th day' also starring Arnie.

Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (AVP 2) (2007,  R)
Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (AVP 2) 5.0 Stars
This movie jumped into action from the first minute. It was different to the first one, it was much better than the first one. AvPR took us exactly to similar battlefield as the two Predator movies did - woods and city.
The predator in this movie was a real anti-Alien badass and is definitely a kind of character that I would consider a hero.
Acting in this movie was mediocre, but then again hardly any horror movies out there actually have good actors. Perhaps the best character development was by the Predator and Predalien. Those two really showed of what kind of nemesis they were to each other.
Action was superb. Even though some fights were in too much dark, I would still classify them as top notch because afterall they were between a Predator and Aliens and that's classic already.
The plot was nothing special. However I wouldn't blame this film for it. This film was just trying to fix the mess that the first movie began and giving the franchise some storyline.
I personally thought that the love story in the beginning didn't fit in with the whole Alien and Predator theme. It was like watching two different movies that kept on interrupting each other. I also didn't like how the whole government theme was introduced.
However despite those two things I still think that this is one of the best horror-action-sci-fi movies I've ever seen. It had much more horror atmosphere than the 1st one and more deaths some of which were a bit of a surprise, which also made it slightly realistic.
Overall - great actionwise and great for rewatching, but mediocre plot. This puts it above the first AvP movie and definitely in my favourites list.

The special effects are absolutely amazing with some really good action. Acting was brilliant and robot Sonny was an adorable character. This is one of the best and most realistic movies about the future in my opinion.

This movie has an awesome combination of an amazing action star and an amazing comedian. Plus the storyline is pretty chilled and therefore is perfect for rewatching. I've seen this movie at least 5 times now.
Oh and there is quick shot of Arnie in the beginning. 'Have fun!'

Anchorman - The Legend Of Ron Burgundy 5.0 Stars
Glad to see a movie with almost every member of the Frat pack being in it. This movie is really hilarious, full of little jokes every now and then.

The plot was a bit average and is a pretty common plot for comedies, but the actors and the laughs definitely shined.

Perhaps my favourite scene in this film was the scene where all the news teams were having a huge melee fight. Coolness!

This was an awesome movie. Special effects were totally mind-blowing and Ghost Rider is utterly cool.
Perhaps Ghost Rider himself didn't have too much screen time, but when he did those scenes were exceptional. Most of the villains I'd say weren't original, but that was OK. Ghost Rider is definitely a hero with style.

Just watched it again and I have to say that this is definitely my favourite Star Wars film out of the new trilogy. Surely there are more deaths and drama in 2 and 3, but Phantom Menace has much better characters in my opinion and the lightsaber fight at the end is truly awesome.

The Condemned (2007,  R)
The Condemned 4.5 Stars
I really enjoyed it. Violence was pretty bloody and brutal and the idea is really cool too. Reminded me of 'The Running man'.
The only let down I think is that they should've been concentrating more on what's happening inside 'the game' rather than outside of it.
But overall, a lot of deaths, and most were awesomely done. A couple of people were showed as real bad-ass bad guys. This film shows human nature pretty well when stranded: some will attempt to form friendships, others will go on a killing spree, thirds will just be minding their own business until they hit trouble.
Overall an awesome movie for action and wrestling fans, with a brilliant finish.
