X-Men 2 (DVD And Fantastic Four Jonny Storm Watch

Advantages: Better action than some with story line
Disadvantages: slow in parts

If you love the first X-MEN then X-MEN2 is a must have, with less story building than the first this film has a lot more action - packed fun for all to love. There are a few slow parts in the film but overall its a must. the charachters realy start to evolve and if you were a fan of the cartoon then the end makes a lot more to you than if you just watch the film. Although you are left felling that they could have done more. E.g. Magneto (Lan Mckellen) ...
...four is again much like X-men 1 you have to wait for the best bits as the story building takes its time however its much more for the younger audience with its light humor and slightly cheesy punchlines however it is quit a good film for kids as it does not require you to concerntrate to long and if you miss bits of the film you can catch up with the plot later. A great xmas gift ...

Good and Evil fighting side by side

Advantages: Excellent acting by Hugh Jackman and Alan Cumming
Disadvantages: Unrealistic storyline (even for a comic book adaptation)

...and directed by Bryan Singer X-Men 2 is the follow up to the hugely successful X-men, released back in May 2003. Plot Just as the dust had settled and things were getting back to normal, Whitehouse security is breached and there is an unsuccessful assassination attempt on the President of the USA (Cotter Smith) by a mutant that goes by the name of “Nightcrawler” (Alan Cumming). The failed attempt naturally makes the headlines resulting in a ...
...a lot more violent in X-Men 2 than X-men 1, which is a good thing. It seems that Jackman can do no wrong in his role but then Wolverine is a crowd favourite and it is always difficult to criticise your favourites. That said, Alan Cumming is also particularly good as Nightcrawler. There is also plenty of eye candy, which also helps to keep the audience interested. Once again Famke Janssen looks absolutely stunning, Halle Berry looks great (but in ...

"Who am I?" The Matrix missing parts

Advantages: best possible content that goes along with Matrix, quality and variety of styles
Disadvantages: are there any ?

...hands on this project was the best possible thing it could happen with ideas of Matrix :) The movie consists of nine short stories, each telling a different story, but all are more or less related to scenes for the motion picture. Final Flight of the Osiris is a development from Square Co., creators of series of fantasy games as well as two computer graphic motion pictures, which this episode is itself. It made a great impression on me, back in ...
...you in the centre of the action. This one follows with two parts of The Second Renaissance and if you think that Matrix is thought provoking, you need to see these both parts, which fills in the missing parts from the motion picture of how system was created. Kid's Story explains where this young lad following Neo everywhere in Matrix: Revolutions came from. Program is another variation based in the world of cyber illusion and this story ...

They come to the startling result that the earths core has stopped revolving and making the atmosphere like a microwave meaning that people with pacemakers will die and within a year the earth will heat up and burn. The only solution is to restart the core with explosives but this means travelling over 2000 miles into the earth. They enlist the help of Conrad Zimsky (played by Stanley Tucci), ...
