Read these film reviews and choose the word that best describes it.
AVATAR (2009) One of the most successful films of all time, Avatar
(directed by James Cameron) tells the story of a reluctant hero who sets
off on an epic adventure to save the alien world he has learned to call
home. Now available in 3-D and 2-D this visually spectacular film is a
must-see for all the family with important messages for both young and
old
a amazing b inspiring с exciting

THE PROPOSAL (2009) An ambitious and obnoxious boss (played


by Sandra Bullock) hears that she will have to return to Canada as her
visa has run out. To avoid deportation, she forces her young assistant
(Ryan Reynolds) to marry her so that she can stay in the United States
legally. After many crazy adventures to prove to his family that they do
actually love one another, they finally really fall in love. This is a good
old-fashioned feel-good comedy which is the perfect vehicle for both
stars
a entertaining b frightening c boring

THE NOTEBOOK (2004) If you enjoy sickly sweet romantic films


that unashamedly tug on the heart strings to make you
cry, then this is most definitely the film for you. From the moment the film
begins you know where it is taking you. A boy meets a girl. The boy is
poor and the girl is rich. The girl’s parents don’t approve. Fast forward to
years later … Have your box of tissues to hand!

THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM (2007) This is the third in the Bourne
series starring the excellent Matt Damon. Filmed on location in
Tangier, London, Paris, Madrid, Berlin and New York City, the story is
fast-paced but to my mind rather confusing. My concentration was
disturbed by the hand-held camera effect which meant that the film
was constantly ‘shaking’. I appreciate that this was supposed to
heighten the tension but I found it almost impossible to focus in
places.
a fictional b relaxing c exciting

A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (2010)As a fan of horror films, I


was looking forward to this remake of the Wes Craven cult classic
which first appeared on our screens almost twenty years ago.
Terrifying when it first came out, this remake, however, doesn’t
compare in any way. The special effects are laughable and the acting
is wooden. I’d recommend watching the original any day and I
certainly hope they don’t bother to remake the others
a frightening b annoying c embarazing
