[...] There’s nothing glamorous about this movie’s opening scene(s), and that’s the point. It sets the mood for the rest of the film; instead of being a simple crowd-pleasing action movie it’s a poignant, oftentimes deeply moving, family drama. The title sequence and opening scene between Paddy/father and Tommy/son establishes their heartbreaking past, present, and future relationship. Both Nick Nolte and Tom Hardy are exceptional here, as Tommy tears his father’s heart apart several times. [Full Review Here] [...]

[...] I quickly understood this wasn’t another continuation of the Bryan Singer kind of X-Men movies; Matthew Vaughn’s dark introduction to a young Erik Lehnsherr/Magneto in a Nazi concentration camp is deeply atmospheric and dark, especially with Henry Jackman’s awesome score. What’s more, the transition to adult Erik, played stylishly by Michael Fassbender, is a perfect cap to the opening of the best X-Men installment. Full Review Here] [...]

[...] Only The Tree of Life rivals the grand beauty found in the opening sequence of Melancholia, though the extreme slow-motion photography will certainly frustrate casual moviegoers. It basically tells the entire story in just a few minutes, and it’s easily the best part of the film. Also, Richard Wagner’s classic musical piece “Tristan und Isolde, Prelude) is a powerful part of the opening and entire movie. [Full Review Here] [...]

[...] This film opens with a somber set of scenes that conveys so much without saying a whole lot. From the slow track up to an injury display sign at a factory to the somber funeral reception, the audience quickly becomes acquainted with its principal character and the heart of the story within a few minutes. Quality storytelling. [Full Review Here] [...]

[...] Part of the opening scene is canned footage of the Oakland Athletics’ 2001 postseason loss to the New York Yankees, but the rest is a dramatization of general manager Billy Beane’s live reaction to the game and going home. It conveys his utter disappointment, isolation, and desperation. It’s a great introduction to this very complex character. [Full Review Here] [...]
