Wolverine - brutal, but not as good as it could have been
Advantages: Good x men film, nice effects, reasonable script
Disadvantages: would have been better as an 18, really really bad effects on his claws
I’ll be honest from the start. I’ve always liked X men and Wolverine was my favourite character. I thought Hugh Jackman was an excellent choice to fill the role and so when I heard they were doing this film, I got a little over excited. Alas, it was ruined. It could have been so much better. Now, that’s not to say it wasn’t a good film, but in true Hollywood style, they made it for the masses, to sell as much as possible, rather than for the hardcore. ...
...film. As would Terminator Salvation. Two good potential films, ruined (or at least, dropped short of greatness). That out of the way, ill give you a review of the film. This X men outing does pretty much what it says on the tin. It tells you about the origins of Wolverine. Now, im not an avid comic book fan, but even I can see the inconsistencies and confusing parts to this story. It doesn’t make sense with the history of x men itself. But its not ...

Wolverine's story

Fans of the X-Men series of films will love the 2009, Gavin Hood, prequel film, X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

...of Brian Cox from the X-Men 2 film. There is support from Dominic Monaghan and Ryan Reynolds who play mutants in Team X. The special effects are brilliant and there are some great action and fight scenes. There is a cameo at the end of the film which will delight most X-Men fans. This is one to watch. ...

Avoid!!!!
Advantages: Visually stunning and the women are amazing!
Disadvantages: Acting,story,pretty much the whole thing
When I saw the trailer for The Spirit I couldn't wait to see it especially as I had enjoyed Sin City so much.As with Sin City visually this is stunning (as are the ladies of the film!) but that's were the positives end!!! Never have I watched a film and cared so little for the main character to the point that I wanted him to be killed by Samuel L Jackson's Octopuss (who is a thoroughly unlikeable character and seriously over acted by Jackson) I got ...

This isn't a movie. It's a method of torture.
Advantages: Seeing it once is enough
Disadvantages: You had to see it once
...This is a resubmission after the original was too 'overwhelming' for ciao, so here is the watered down version. This is the cinema viewing review and not the DVD review, and I hope to all that is good that you do not buy the DVD because this movie made me cry tears of regret. As mentioned before, if anyone buys this DVD for me, I would set it alight and send it back to them.*
Frank Miller mucked up this movie. There, I’ve said it, this review should ...
...to watch a Barbie movie, the scariest movies ever made in my opinion, beating even The Shining. This movie is so bad, it makes me want drown in wallpaper paste whilst being force fed maggoty bread.
I know Frank Miller as that amazing comic writer and creator of epics such as Sin City and 300. The ‘graphic novels’, as I should be calling them, have great artistic style and a great array of characters with engrossing storylines. The movie adaptations ...

The Flesh is Willing, but The Spirit is Weak
Advantages: It looks great.
Disadvantages: The direction, writing, performances and lack iof suspense.
The Spirit loves two things; Central City and beautiful women. A cop killed on the city’s mean streets, he has been reborn as a masked avenger who will do anything to sweep crime from the streets of his beloved city. To this end he stalks the criminal mastermind known as The Octopus and his army of henchmen, as they try to lay waste to the town. But along the way he comes across an array of women who either want to love him, seduce him or kill him…

...books of the past thirty years and his stamp is clearly seen on the visual style of “Sin City” (which he co-directed with Robert Rodriguez). He brings the same look to bear on his first solo outing as a director. So every shot looks like it’s been torn from the pages of a graphic novel. He often reduces the palette to blacks and reds, animating solid blocks of colour over the near black and white cinematography. He creates many striking images, such ...
