Don't bother to watch
Magic Mike XXL . It's not worth to go to cinema,and spend 2 hrs being
miserable there. You try pretty hard to find something seems a little
bit interesting in the last 30 mins. You just wanna kill yourself in the
rest of the movie.
I expected there's more dancing scenes or fun part. What I feel in the storyline wasn't very frequent, but irritated. I saw the first one, I don't really remember the details of it but at least I like it . The male entertainer or stripper makes the women look so cheap and dumb. Some of the scenes even make me feel sick. I'm sorry I feel that way but this movie can totally be on the worst movie list of mine.

Storyline
Two brothers lose their mother to an incurable disease. With the power
of "alchemy", they use taboo knowledge to resurrect her. The process
fails, and as a toll for using this type of alchemy, the older brother,
Edward Elric loses his left leg while the younger brother, Alphonse
Elric loses his entire body. To save his brother, Edward sacrifices his
right arm and is able to affix his brother's soul to a suit of armor.
With the help of a family friend, Edward receives metal limbs -
"automail" - to replace his lost ones. With that, Edward vows to search
for the Philosopher's Stone to return the brothers to their original
bodies, even if it means becoming a "State Alchemist", one who uses
his/her alchemy for the military. Written by

Let's make one thing
clear before I start this review, I have no experience with the previous
incarnation of Fullmetal Alchemist. This series was my first foray into
the world of FMA, & I must say, it is VERY excellent.
First off, the series has a huge cast of interesting & unique characters. They are each quite different from each other, and act in different ways. The way the series elegantly manages all the character's developments and story lines is a feat in itself. The series also has a fantastically crafted plot, filled with action, humor, & tragedy. Despite its mainstream appeal, it still maintains a mature tone that really grabs you.
The animation & art is top notch. You won't be getting any poorly edited sequences or grotesque looking art. The production values are great. I watched the series with the English voice track, and the dub did quite a good job. No complaints there. The soundtrack is excellent as well, particularly the opening & closing sequences that accompany each episode.
It goes on for some 64 episodes, & maintains your attention the entire time. It even manages to close everything up in a satisfying manner. A fantastic series. This show will make you laugh, cry, and even get angry a few times.

I want to share a lot
about Hunter x Hunter i want to go on and on but i am not a professional
reviewer or writer but i will try my best.
I agree with others who reviewed Hunter X Hunter , that it has a childish like beginning . When i start watching it i did not plan to watch it further because of the above reason but i give Hunter X Hunter a chance and watched few episode and i was amazed by the story and the characters it got me hooked really .
I am a anime lover and watched almost every famous title out there for example: One piece,Naruto,Bleach,and much more. The story of Hunter X Hunter is about a twelve year old boy named Gon Freecss who has been told that his parent were killed in car accident but in reality they are alive and later he found out about his father by his father's old acquaintance that his father is alive and he is famous hunter . The show has many incredible fight sequence, The characters in the anime are super, since they all have their own ability and unique appearance. You will sit at the edge of your seat when the fights commence, and as the episodes progress our heroes face new difficulties, while still keeping the crazy humor ,
The genre itself is a ACTION,THRILLER & this has everything someone who enjoys anime series could ever ask for. I recommend this series to everyone and it doesn't matter what genres you like more, just trust me and give this series a go but stick with it cause it's kinda slow at the beginning. Overall:10/10
Meaning of Hunter in series as below The Hunters Association is responsible for the testing and licensing of "Hunters," a person that has proved themselves through rigorous examination to be an elite member of humanity. With the passing of the examination, a Hunter is rewarded with a license to go almost anywhere in the world or do almost anything. Typically, Hunters devote themselves to tracking down priceless items, mystical places, and the unseen wonders of the world.

A paraplegic marine dispatched to the moon Pandora on a unique mission
becomes torn between following his orders and protecting the world he
feels is his home.
Director:James Cameron
Writer:James Cameron
Stars:Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver |
Storyline
When his brother is killed in a robbery, paraplegic Marine Jake Sully
decides to take his place in a mission on the distant world of Pandora.
There he learns of greedy corporate figurehead Parker Selfridge's
intentions of driving off the native humanoid "Na'vi" in order to mine
for the precious material scattered throughout their rich woodland. In
exchange for the spinal surgery that will fix his legs, Jake gathers
intel for the cooperating military unit spearheaded by gung-ho Colonel
Quaritch, while simultaneously attempting to infiltrate the Na'vi people
with the use of an "avatar" identity. While Jake begins to bond with
the native tribe and quickly falls in love with the beautiful alien
Neytiri, the restless Colonel moves forward with his ruthless
extermination tactics, forcing the soldier to take a stand - and fight
back in an epic battle for the fate of Pandora. Written by

I was not blown away by
this movie like everyone else seems to be. First, the good stuff. There
are some good actors in here, especially the actor who plays Jake
(though I might be biased, because he was pretty hot), and they all
commit to what they're doing and make it believable. As everyone says,
the graphics and visuals are pretty freakin' awesome (as well they
should be, with the budget of this movie). The world that Cameron
creates is stunning, mesmerizing, and pure: the special effects are
amazing. Like many, I saw it in 3D and it was good old fashioned
movie-going fun. Yay!
Okay, now for the not so good parts. As others have stated, the storyline/plot is a little lacking. I had trouble understanding the motivations of many of the characters. Ah, yes, character development - that would have been nice, too. Don't expect any. Yes, it's a recycled and re-used plot: clichéd and often predictable. It seems reminiscent of many great classics, my favorite being "Star Wars." Now I'll be the first to admit that the mythical structure of "Star Wars" was not completely original, but at least it seemed Lucas "made it his own" (to quote American Idol?) with his original characters and unique setting. "Avatar" is practically plagiarism (one line in particular made me want to shout "THE FORCE!" in the middle of the movie). Also- we get practically no character background at all, so we have no idea what makes these people tick (perhaps there would have been more if the edited version wasn't already a staggering 2 hrs 40 min.). Instead, we get one-dimensional, stock characters that had me rolling my eyes underneath my uncomfortable and overpriced 3D glasses. Lastly, the film is doused with lessons in morality from Mr. Cameron; it is a blatant criticism of US foreign policy. Not everyone will pick up on this, which I understand, since most of us want mindless entertainment at the movies. But upon closer review, I don't see how some people cannot see it. One of the "evil" characters actually says: "We'll fight terror with terror!" (Though mind you, they are attacking a planet filled with peaceful inhabitants who have never attacked them, for the simple quest of obtaining a precious metal called...unobtainium...::rolls eyes again::) Now I don't mind a little political satire here and there, but it seems misplaced in what is seemingly intended as a mindlessly entertaining popcorn flick.
To give an example of the poor story-telling and lack of motivation: the "evil" humans are attacking the peaceful planet of Pandora in hopes of getting more "unobtainium" (gah it's so cheesy) but Cameron never bothers to tell us WHY. It is barely even mentioned. Is it just pretty and shiny like gold? Or, as another reviewer brilliantly pointed out, this stuff could save lives on Earth for all we know. It is never explained and the movie makers just assume you will accept it and not care what the reason is.
I was actually really glad to come to IMDb and find there were others who felt the same way. I don't think it was an awful movie, I just don't think it's worthy of the enormous praise that seems to surround it. Should you see it? Yeah, sure, it's pretty entertaining I guess. And if you are into graphics/special effects, and/or don't mind gaping plot holes, then you'll probably love it.
Bottom line: Remember when Lucas revamped the "Star Wars" saga with the three new prequels, and instead of telling a great story with interesting characters like he did with the original trilogy, he got so obsessed with graphics and special effects that it pretty much ruined the whole movie? Yeah, it's kind of like that. I guess they stole that from "Star Wars," too.
