Not quite 'Heat', but not entirely cold!

Advantages: slick action film, clever in parts
Disadvantages: not so clever in the other parts

Swordfish is a hard action / thriller starring John Travolta as Gabriel Shear and Hugh Jackman as Stanley Jobson. The film depicts the story of Stanley, a top computer hacker who is soon brought under the wing of Gabriel, a violent and ruthless crime lord and not before long he is sucked into a world where he can no longer control the events that are unfolding around him. This film features a strong supporting cast including Don Cheadle as an FBI ...
...plays a simple brained hard man for a change and Sam Shepherd as a US Senator. I really liked this film a few years ago when it came out (2001) but it didn't do too well at cinema, partially because it was one of the terrorist based films that were pulled from screens after 9/11. However, I watched it again the other day and despite it still being pretty entertaining, I found it pretty laughable in some sections. Gabriel played by John Travolta plays ...

X Men the last stand is an ace film.

Advantages: fill of brilliant actors
Disadvantages: there isnt any honestly

i think that that x men is one of the best and most famous superhero movies out, it is full of utterly amazing people with just as good powers like controlling the weather. this film contains the superb acting skills of the likes of hugh jackman, halle berry, patrick stuart and ian mckellen. it is amazing. the good thing about this film is you can watch it as many times as you like and you would still want to watch it again and again. my two ...

X-men, the trilogy... 3x the fun

Advantages: Good plot, well cast, good stunts and effects
Disadvantages: Overlooks some characters

...to 3 movies. The x-men comic has a great deal of characters and some were always going to be overlooked or missed. The movies do an admirable job of fitting everyone in however, and I'm very impressed with the results. If you like comic book movies, this is for you. ...

Mutants are Back in Action

Advantages: Great film - lots of action and special effects
Disadvantages: Rated a (15)

...long-running Marvel comic book series; X-MEN which takes place in the near future, as certain humans are evolving into mutants with magnificent powers. It's a rare comic-book movie that doesn't fall over its cape introducing all the characters, and this is the exception. X-Men drops us into a new world that is closer to our own than Batman's Gotham City, but it's still home to super-powered goodies and baddies. i can assure you that its better than ...
...On the DVD: X-Men 1.5's two-disc set offers little more than the original X-Men release. The six extended scenes which can be incorporated into the feature on Disc 1 were already available on the initial DVD version, and when played within the film's original cut they seem disjointed and tacked on, adding very little to the overall story. But still very good story. Disc 2, on the other hand, will have little appeal to any but the most diehard of ...
