Review:

It’s good movie worth a watch especially for those who liked ‘V for vendetta’!!

It is thriller start from the beginning, but the trill become a little low at the middle and eventually increases at the end.

It is also a lone vigilante movie. A man frustrated the law takes action in order to make the world a better place to live.

The ideology and sense of the movie is inspiring but at the same time a little too extreme and violent, especially when, the Support for dead cult take tasks into their hand, they start gruesome killings all over the city.

At this point the sense of justice will start to siege and it would look quite wrong.

But overall taking into account only the methodology of John doe ,it is good and inspiring!!

Review:

It as magical and inspiring tale as expected to be. “Have courage and be kind”.

This is great movie to watch. Kids will love it.

It’s great Disney movie. Full of animations and awe inspiring scenarios and landscapes. It like an unreal fairy tale so perfect and beautiful!!

The movie teaches a lot of things both in philosophy and life. One must not give up the darkness that stall one’s life, for it is mere bliss and would go before you may even know, and a new dawn will come. This is what the movie has tried to convey to its viewers.

Enjoy it! A good movie with kids or without kids!

My goals   is to  help parents and kids  figure out if the  movie is suitable for watch ,Commonsense media which is a non profit organisation (https://www.commonsensemedia.org/)is helping kids understand the effects of modern media and improving quality of lives.

Review:

It’s an amazing tale. Only a few can ever be mad e like it. It’s an elegant and beautiful illustration of a breath-taking story!!

You wouldn’t get bored in one single moment of the story. The movie is full of comedy. Sarcasm can be seen time to time in the movie.

The intellect of the story and its elegance binds the audience. Everything is pretty in this movie the hotel, the costumes, the pastries, the train, the prison …. Everything!! It’s a must see movie.

The bottom line it’s a movie you regret missing.

The whole crew must have put their hearts out making it.
