Batman Begins/ Dark Knight Blu Ray Box

Advantages: Great Films, Good Value for Blu Ray
Disadvantages: Still cheaper to buy normal DVD and the difference isnt that huge

...Nolans Excellent Screen Conversion of The Caped Crusader Both films are set in the dark and dirty city of Gotham, the stories follow Batman as he fights crime and generally saves the day. Batman Begins: This film basically sets the scene for the probable next few batman films, we see bruce waynes story from the murder of his parents... to overcoming personal demons and rising to become the batman. While stopping along the way to kick Scarecrow ...
...packing in his job as the Batman, theres a new politician in town... a Mr Harvey Dent,and he is doing a great job of cleaning up Gotham so why would Gotham need a Vigilante..... because the jokers in town thats why. I have to honestly say joking aside.... Heath Ledgers performance in this film is nothing short of AMAZING, he will make you walk around asking people " Why So Serious" Trust Me.... buy this film... just to see him in his final and finest ...

We Don't Need Another Hero

Advantages: Mildly entertaining
Disadvantages: Changes spoil it for those who remember Christopher Reeves Superman

...earth after a mysterious absence, Superman (Brandon Routh) is not only confronted by his arch nemesis Lex Luthor (Kevin Spacey) plotting to make his life a misery, but also the heart breaking truth that Lois Lane (Kate Bosworth), the woman he secretly loves, has moved on with her life and now has a family of her own. With mass destruction threatening America and the realization that the woman he loves may no longer love him, Superman must once more ...
...to experience the last cinematic Superman franchise which featured the brilliant and sadly missed Christopher Reeves, but this latest reincarnation of the Superman franchise really does feel like a damp squib. Yes it is mildly entertaining, and the special effects are for the most superior to those which featured in the Superman films of the 70s/80s, but for me those are the only positives I can pull from a film which had so much promise but delivered ...

The Irish Bond.

Advantages: All of the Brosnan films in one box with decent extra's.
Disadvantages: Product placement gets worse by the last film!!

...after the last Bond film, James Bond returned in Bond 17. ----The Films---- GoldenEye (1995) This was the first vehicle that Brosnan appeared in and for me this is probably the better out the four films he made. It is moody, dramatic and will have you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. Although in some places it does step up toi the line of unbelievable it does not cross it to the extent that a film like Charlie's Angels did. The ...
...with the plot revolving around rouge agent 006 who steals the GoldenEye weapon with the intent of wiping out the Bank of England and all computer records in the City Of London. The weapon itself explodes a nuclear bomb in space and uses the electro magnetic pulse to wipe out anything below within a 30 mile radius, effectively eliminating the use of all electrical equipment. The cast is made up of multi national actors, Sean Bean as 006, Joe Don ...

I love hostage

Advantages: Hostage!!!!!!
Disadvantages: Last man standing

This sounds pretty good, i have heard lots of good things about lucky number slevin, However Last man staanding bored me to sleep! My dad loved it however, i think last man standing is a bit more of a mans film, it didnt appeal to me at all, it wasn't very interesting and what little storyline it had moved that slowly i fell asleep. Hostage is definatley worth getting this for though, its an amazing film, It has an amazing plot with lots of twists ...
...is lots of unpredictable and edge of your seat action. and of course it stars the luscious Ben Foster. Ladies, prepare to drool. SO it has everything you could ever want in a film. its fast paced and action packed, but has a good story behind it instead of just being mindless special effects. its a must see! You have to see it just to see ben fosters gorgeous face! The plot will definately keep you interested too! ...
