Gulliver's Travels...

Assalamualaikum everyone... Okay... Like the title says and like the poster above, this entry is about the movie, Gulliver's Travels starring Jack Black. And yes, this is indeed a movie review... Don't worry, no spoilers here... I'll try and keep details to a minimum... Heee...

Okay, today, 24th December 2010... I went to watch Gulliver's Travels in eye-popping 3-D courtesy of Golden Screen Cinemas ( After paying RM17 for the ticket of course ). So, this is my 1st time wearing a pair of 3-D glasses (Dolby) to watch a movie... It was a whole new experience for me... Even tried to compare what happens if I don't watch the movie wearing 3-D glasses... Its all a blur to me... Seriously...

Allright, enough of the experience... Now, on to the movie review... As I stated before, the movie starred Jack Black... Seeing Jack Black is what made me want to watch this movie... Because I know it's going to be hilarious... To be honest, it didn't disappoint much... Although I was expecting much more laughter to come out from this... Well, the movie was quite nice... And I have to say Jack Black is really what made the movie watchable... Without him I don't know... Although, I still think the writers of this film should have utilized the talents of Jack Black to the fullest... We all know that Jack Black is a funny guy... And he didn't disappoint... The rest of the cast was okay without being excellent nor being a failure...

The plot was good though... With good character development and also filled with some good scenes if not excellent...  The 3-D experience of this movie... Hurmmm... Well, I have to say its not worth it to watch it in 3-D... With only a few scenes that really characterize the meaning of 3-D... Its better to watch it on normal screens... Save the money too... Even the advertisement before the beginning of the film was better in  3-D  than the movie itself featuring Scrat from Ice Age... 

So, overall... This movie is a nice family movie... So, for those who wants to have some light-hearted type of movie without twisting plots... Then, I recommend it... For die hard Jack Black fans, this movie is also a must see... Because its been a while since we see Jack Black starred in a movie... He was good, really... And I don't recommend watching it in 3-D, as it doesn't utilize the 3-D engine to full effect... Better watch Tron for 3D... Anyway, in light of 2 blockbusters we've had ( Harry Potter and Narnia )... This movie is a fresh break from it... Good movie for the Christmas period... I give it a 3 1/2 star rating for it... 

Kick : Okay, this is the Point Man's first time typing a movie review... So, don't be discouraged by it.. If you want to watch it, just go... It is a good movie... Heee... Owh, and not forgetting... In the spirit of 1 Malaysia and World Peace, the Point Man wishes you all a merry christmas... Let's see if I can spot Santa Claus tonight... Hahaha... Good night peeps...
