Jolly LLB 2 (Movie Rating :7.02999/10)

Saurabh Shukla,aka Judge saahib is the darling of this sequel with his histrionics, hiccup stances and extension of home-to-courtroom lifestyle. He's the man on whom the balance is errr.. Balanced. 

HumaQ, the gorgeous face-large-base lady has fewer minutes, but the choice of a mother with a fat 8 year old is apt-baby ko base pasand hai. 

AkshayK is lucid, convincing and masterful in his depiction of the 'Kanpur-ka-lawyer' who can't be roughshod once a soul awakens his. 

Annu Kapoor as the defence lawyer is marvellous. His demeanour and theatrics leave you asking for more. 

Many a social messages embed in the courtroom jog. Weak is the courtroom playoff... Could have sizzled.. Alas it's a bit of a drag.. With a bit of good luck the hero nails it. Not expected of an Akshay Kumar genre. 

Nevertheless, it's entertaining 2.25 hours. The musical score is pathetic. 

Resident Evil:Final (movie Rating:5.5/10)

Resident Evil:Final (movie Rating:5.5/10)

Milla Jovovich, in her element as the industrious vanquisher of the un-dead is impressive. Her blades and eyes glaze with devilish intensity, and her action stunts would leave Vin Diesel a toddler.

The plot is fairly simple, save humanity. It's the rich versus the hoi polloi and loads of bad guys. Milla, led by an augmented reality image leads her pack to an underground 'hive' to retrieve the magic anti-virus... 

All too dark a movie with overloading of killing. The CGI for computer games enthusiasts seems the reason for creating this genre of movies. What a waste of Milla and her laser eyes. 

The Great Wall (Movie Rating:7.5/10)

The Great Wall (Movie Rating:7.5/10)

Legend of a fantasy, set in the environs of the Great Wall of China. Matt Damon, the white man, saves the Chinese civilization... Sounds familiar.

 The breathtakingly beautiful, Tian Jing, as the Army General, adorning the most beautiful battledress is very impressive from the first scene unto the end. 

Matt Damon wins the screen with his iconic archery skills and never say die attitude. Other actors don't really have much screentime. The chemistry between Tian and Damon is very subtle and underplayed. 

The battle scenes are the best part of the movie. The assiduous sequencing, ancient metallurgy, design innovation and ingenuity in the face of the enemy are breathtaking. Screenplay is deadly. The animation of the enemy creatures,their intellect in battle and manoeuvres are interesting as they unfold. 

The airborne lanterns on mourning are a scene for posterity. 

You walk out pleasant.
