The Bourne Supremacy is an excellent sequel that is as good as the original. Mat Damon delivers an excellent performance and plays his role well. The other actors and actresses deliver good and excellent performances and also play their characters well.
The only complaints about this movie are about the director Paul Greengrass(who I've never heard of until I saw this movie). Greengrass has done something drastically different than other directors-he used a hand-help camera for the majority of the scenes.
Although sometimes confusing they do add a thrilling and entertaining element to the film. However the hand help camera I admit was a little over-used. This film isn't suited for people who get motion sickness frequently and this accounts for most of the negative reviews.
This movie is really special because it is as good as the original (which most sequels don't even come close to the original). This movie includes a lot of thrilling, action-packed scenes equal to the original. I definitely recommend this to anyone he liked The Bourne Identity.
My Rating: 9.6/10

300 is a very mediocre film that received so much praise and hype solely for its CGI. Yes the battle scenes use spectacular CGI and show off brutal video-game-like violence. The choreography wasn't so great because they relied on CGI and slow-motion sequences. Overall that is the only high point of the movie.
All the other aspects of the movie were average to bad. The plot was non-existent (all we see is a Persian come up and ask the Spartans to surrender, they get thrown into a never-ending pit, and a war starts with the Spartans and Persians). There is minor sub-plot or two but they are obvious time-fillers, since the filmmakers probably couldn't afford 2 hours of CGI filled battle scenes.
The acting/actors are pretty much mediocre nobodies. Gerald Butler (King Leonidas) tries to mimic great war heroes such as Maximus (Gladiator) and Wallace (Braveheart) and fails to achieve something remotely as good. As for character development there is basically none.
Overall this movie achieved a high rating because many people couldn't see past the CGI. Don't believe me? I can guarantee that this film will win no Oscars or even a mere nomination, just MTV awards, unlike many other Epic War Movies.

Alexander is one of those movies you'll either hate or love. I actually partially enjoyed this movie but it does have many flaws. First off I have to say the battle scenes were excellent-a lot of action, blood, gore etc. However only two battles actually took place in Alexander disappointing a lot of people who wanted to see something like Gladiator, Troy, and Braveheart.
I honestly could only watch this movie by forwarding the majority of the film to get to the battles, however I loved to watch the battles again and again. The acting in this movie is for the most part pretty good but could have been better in some of the characters.
The story was a bit confusing and a lot of the times I was wondering what was going on in the film. My advice to anyone who wants to see this movie is to not expect something like the other epic war films you've seen before and prepare for a lot of non-fighting and in my opinion awkward scenes. I do advise that if you are watching this movie for the first time to have a little patience because the battle scenes are pretty impressive and use decent CGI.
The main reason this movie isn't as highly-rated as epic war films like Gladiator, Troy, or Braveheart is that you will probably find yourself forwarding most of the movie to get to the good parts.
My Rating: 6.3/10
