Disadvantages: Margot Kidder

...30 years since its release, Superman has obviously dated a little. But don't be fooled, that certainly doesn't remove from any of its potency or brilliance. In fact, I think it improves it. Back in the 1970's CGI and special effects, like we have now, didn't exist. Back then Christopher Reeve used wires and you believed a man could fly! Now? Well you all saw the CGI fest that was Superman Returns... The film, scripted by Mario Puzo (author of the ...

Advantages: You get to see the film as intended
Disadvantages: It really is a different film

...Back in 1980, the second Superman film starring Christopher Reeve was released into cinemas around the world. Both the first and the second were filmed together in an attempt to cut costs, meaning that the story could use the same sets without the need for reconstruction. The second film always had a controversial history as the director Richard Donner was fired half way through the shoot and was replaced by Richard Lester as director of the film. ...
...first film. Various clips from Superman are played over the actors names, the cast are superb, as just seeing the names up on screen reminds you have what a cast was bought together. The film starts properly when Superman foils a botched hostage situation at the Eiffel Tower and ejects a Nuclear Bomb into Outer Space. The explosion releases the criminals seen at the beginning of the first film from their prison called the Phantom Zone. At the same ... Read review

Disadvantages: None

...going to be appearing in Die Hard i thought, brilliant. Bruce Willis is an amazing actor. The performance he gave was spectacular. He is one f the greatest actors in my opinion, when it comes to action films. The plot was very well thought out. I loved the film and the next 3 films that were produced after, were phenomenal. Also Alan Rickman playing a bad guy was a match made in heaven. His voice was perfect when he was giving Bruce an ultimatum. ... Read review

Advantages: Lots of action.
Disadvantages: Not much of a story.

When I watched Rambo I was pleasently suprised. These days films like this are bringing out yet another, most turn out to be dissapointing. A prime example being Terminator. The first two films being excellent for their time, and the 3rd adding something which I feel wasn't needed. This is what I was expecting when I put this film into the DVD player. However, I genuinly enjoyed this film, in a Rambo fan way. The film again does not fail to please ...
...disspointment with this film was the lack of real storyline. Many people may watch this and think, its just an excuse for over the top violence and blood. Yet this is one of the things which attracts people to Rambo. If your looking for a DVD with lots of graphic killing and none stop action, then this is the film for you. Despite his age Stallone is still going strong! Top notch! ... Read review

Advantages: Willis back to his best, outstanding special effects, non stop action
Disadvantages: No date for the next installment

...The new instalment in the Die Hard franchise is bigger and better tan all before it, it is clear a lot of money has been spent as the special effects are amazing. If you liked the previous Die Hard films, although the new one feels like it is filmed in a slightly different style, you will love this new one as it is a proper action packed film! McClane returns to take on the terrorists again but this time they have gone digital. With the help of ...
...computer hacker, they attempt to do what McClane does best… Save the day! I don't want to leave too many spoilers so I will sign off by saying this is an outstanding film and I highly recommend it. Especially keep your eye out for McClanes guide to destroying helicopters and the Jet Vs the truck scene, awesome!! ... Read review
