Kind of Choppy, But Hey, it's Hugh Jackman!

Comparing "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" to "The Wolverine" is like comparing apples to oranges. They are both about Marvel's burly and animalistic Wolverine, but they could not be any more different. Origins seemed to explore a bit of Wolvie's past under the framework of the prior X-Men movies (i.e. familiar characters, settings, and themes), but unfortunately it didn't hit home like the prior X-Men films. The writing fell flat, because 20th Century Fox took odd twists and turns with fan favorites like Gambit and Deadpool and then never expanded on them in future films like they promised. Instead of bridging Wolverine's backstory to the acclaimed X-Men trilogy, Fox ended up widening the gap

Love the overall appeal of this movie, Hulk was definitely LARGER THAN LIFE in this adaptation, loved it much more than the Ang Lee version. Hulk was fast, strong, and yet somehow still human, enjoyed the overall flow of the plot and how it managed itself. Definitely right up there with Iron Man and Captain America, Must Get for any Fan!

I love all the transformers movies, just because they're entertaining. I know they're not critically acclaimed for the acting or the heart-wrenching story like say a Terms of Endearment, but they're not supposed to be. They're action, they're visually spectacular, and very fun! It's escapism at it's best. Watching these movies with a nice surround system is a must. The explosions, the sounds of the transforming, all of it is a much better experience with surround and a good subwoofer! I can do without 2 things in the movies...the eye candy that is the chicks in short shorts! To me, it just doesn't add to the movie. I guess because I'm not a adolescent teenage boy. Secondly, is the language. it seems like all sequels, things are pushed further each time another one is made. There was more profanity in this one than the others. It too doesn't add to the movie. My 4 year old son loves Transformers, too and I don't want him picking up the language. I know one day he will be exposed to it, but c'mon! These movies are enjoyed by all age groups, Michael Bay, please tone down those 2 things and all will be well. Mark Wahlberg did a good job in the movie... I like his movies anyway. I didn't miss Shia LaBeouf or any of the other actors from the previous ones. Also, this one had more work done on the video side. The greens were way greener. My wife noticed that almost everyone had colored eyes, and over exaggerated at that. I didn't mind all that, but it did seem a little weird. I loved the robots! All of them were too cool...Lockdown is a bad dude! His walk, his whole demeanor...I found myself liking him. Those Dinobots were massive! I can't wait to watch it again...and for the next one, which is probably already in the works.

This is finally the Superman film I've been waiting for! The film is well-paced with the major delight of Superman himself being humanized and made cool again. Kudos goes to David S. Goyer for writing a mature script and taking cues from some great Superman story-lines: Mark Waid's Birthright along with John Byrne's Man of Steel, Geoff John's Secret Origin & Last Son and J. Michael Straczynski's Earth-One. Henry Cavill is amazing as Superman, along with Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Russell Crowe as Jor-El, Kevin Costner as Jonathan Kent, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, and Michael Shannon as General Zod. One of my favorite directors, Zack Snyder delivers on the mind-blowing action but also the emotional character moments of the film. Finally, due to all the criticism on character development, I'm certain that was intentional seeing as the origin story for Superman is very rigid and this film served to show why he becomes Superman and therefore reporter Clark Kent. Overall, I'd recommend this movie to a Superman Fan, Great Movie!

The biggest issue I see, is that they were so determined to set up the NEXT films, and the events for those, that they didn't spend any time tightening up and fine tuning the events and character development for THIS film. Electro had a lot of potential here, more than I would have thought based on his comic character. I was impressed (at times) by how well fleshed out he was. But then there were other times, where it felt like someone wrote "Electro is angry" and nobody bothered to write that any better or elaborate well. They just rushed that, and it really hurts the movie.

Being a MARVEL fan, when I first saw the Avengers, I was nearly in tears. Years and years of clues and origin films led up to this masterpiece and it was perfection! A mind blowing experience! The actor's performances were awesome, especially Tom Hiddleston's Loki. You can tell the actor has fun portraying that character and Loki doesn't disappoint as the film's villain! Even Mark Ruffalo, who replaced Edward Norton as the Incredible Hulk, did a great job portraying Dr. Banner's intelligence and nervous ticks when it came to struggling to make sure nothing could possibly make him angry. Of course, Robert Downey Jr's performance as Tony Stark never changes. Still spot on, as always. Seeing the team finally come together is a nerd's dream. Joss Whedon did an AMAZING job with the film and I can't wait to see Age of Ultron next year!

Best Marvel Stand Alone Movie, Hands Down!
on November 17, 2014
Posted by: Quicksilver00
Captain America: The Winter Soldier is not only a great sequel but perhaps the best standalone Marvel Studios film to date. Trust me, I don't say that lightly. I wasn't overly fond of the Captain's first feature, and my reaction to most of the Marvel Studios films has been mixed. With that in mind, coming out of the theater I have to say 'The Winter Soldier' isn't only a great superhero movie, a great standalone Marvel Studios film, but that Captain America: The Winter Soldier may even be better than The Avengers!

This has to be one of the best examples of how Great a Christopher Nolan film can be, the premise of the movie is very intelligent, and is portrayed very well without losing a lot of pace the film engages early on, continues like a freight train, non stop action, as well as displaying the vulnerability of the human condition. All in all, a very great depiction of how the loss of a loved one can affect the human mind. Recommend this to any Sci-Fi aficionado.
