![Justice League: Throne of Atlantis [Figurine] [Blu-ray/DVD] [Only @ Best Buy] [2015]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/1120/1120089_sa.jpg)

The newest Justice League movie continues the trend of adapting recent comic book story lines. I suppose this is to relate to the newer comic readers, but with such a rich history DC and Warner Bros. are letting a lot of classic stories sit on the shelf. Just look to the Batman:Brave and Bold series to see what I mean. That said, "Throne of Atlantis" is a solid action-packed adventure that explores the current origins of Aquaman. The animation is a little wooden but adequate. While the writers speed things along a little to fast, most of the heroes get their time to shine. Aquaman's transition from confused small town guy to the regal king of Atlantis is a little too quick and a little more depth would have been better. But don't hesitate to dive right in, even though this isn't DC's best attempt. Thanks for reading--no extra chaqrge for the puns!

Great addition to the Vampire mythos

Verified Purchase:Yes
This show, "The Originals" is a spin-off from the CW's Vampire Diaries but stands on its own as a solid horror-fantasy program. Like most CW shows the cast is pretty but also quite talented. If you like eternal dysfunctional families this is for you. Plus the New Orleans setting can't be beat.

A friend of mine recommended this British series to me so I picked it up on sale and really enjoyed it. Good production values and a handsome cast make this enjoyable adventure escapism.

No monkey buisness here
on December 24, 2014

Verified Purchase:Yes
There's a lot to be said for a film where the CGI characters are better performers than the rather cliche human cast. Gary Oldman---stop chewing that scenery!! Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is pure eye candy. In a few minutes you'll believe the apes are real, feeling, intelligent creatures. The film has a few dull moments--think humans--but scenes like the apes swinging thru the forest or outwitting the human cast will have you cheering. An excellent addition to the Apes canon...I can't wait for the next one!

Best sci-fi of the year

Verified Purchase:Yes
What can one say about Guardians of the Galaxy? From the trailer and the 80's music in it I was expecting a bad parody of a super-hero/sci-fi movie. What I got was the best action-adventure sci-fi movie I've seen i n years. The action, special effects, even the music blended into a seamless film with just the right touches of humor and excitement. My hat's off to the creative team who turned a 3rd rate Marvel property into the best superhero film since the Avengers. Get this and enjoy...

THE BEST OF THE BUNCH
on December 24, 2014
Posted by: coverstory
from pittsburgh, pa
Verified Purchase:Yes
Having seen all of the Expendables movies, I can report that this film breaks the trilogy curse by being the best of the bunch. Admittedly none of these films ate Oscar material, but if you're looking for a mindless evening of quite-good action and adventure Expendables 3 is for you. Sure the cast is pretty old--Except for current action star Jason Stratham- but there's a lot to be said for experience! And who doesn't like seeing Mel Gibson as a villain! Don't expect Shakespeare but just grab the popcorn and go along for the ride.

Great follow-up to the original

Verified Purchase:Yes
22 Jump Street is a great follow-up to the first installment that piles on the laughs as it goes. The film pokes fun at the whole movie sequel industry while still being great fun. The chemistry between Tatum and Hill is something that can't be faked. I'd love to see an Odd Couple remake with these two, but with Tatum playing the slobby Oscar. Here's hoping for a 23 Jump St....as long as they can still keep it as fresh and funny as this film.

an exceptional super-hero action adventure
on November 17, 2014
Posted by: coverstory
from pittsburgh, pa
Verified Purchase:Yes
Xmen Days of Future Past is an exceptional super-hero action adventure film. Top notch special effects, great cast and excellent work from director Brian Singer combine for the perfect storm of what a "comic book" film should be. The movie relies a little too much on Wolverine but with a great actor like Hugh Jackman in the role, who can complain. The movie gets a little confusing at times and too many characters get shorted on screen time (Storm)--but all the fan favorites are there. Don't want to give too much away, but lets just saqy I can't wait for the next installment.

![Kick-Ass 2 [2 Discs] [Includes Digital Copy] [UltraViolet] [Blu-ray/DVD] [2013]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/2871/2871031_sa.jpg)

Kickass 2 is a technically well made movie that does closely follow it's comic book source material but ultimately falls a little flat. The film's only saving grace is the suburb Cloe Grace-Moretz. She is a talented young woman who has a big future ahead in Hollywood. The action sequences are well done and the idea of ordinary people trying to make a difference is a good one. Jim Carey is almost unrecognizable in this film. He bad mouthed all of the violence in the movie in the movie so I hope he donated his paycheck to a worthy cause, perhaps the Stop Bullying Campaign. Guess he didn't read the script before signing on. But the movie, despite its shortcomings, is entertaining and worth a watch.

Superheroes are in and Arrow is great
on September 25, 2014

Verified Purchase:Yes
Somehow my review for this got mixed up with the Big Bang Theory review so I'll try to repeat it here in the right place. Arrow is a great show, well acted and packed with "comic" guest stars to satisfy any fanboy heart. But this doesn't limit a non-fanboy from understanding and enjoying the show. Arrow has some of the best action and fight scenes ever on television. The blu-ray extras are all top notch and very interesting. I also loved the flicker cover on the best buy exclusive but then I'm a certified fanboy. I highly recommend this set to anyone who enjoys intelligent well written adventure
