Darker and yet funnier than the previous films.
Advantages: Amazing special effects. Excellent acting.
Disadvantages: Unfaithful to the book in parts.
...film in its own right Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is one of my favourites of the series so far. This film is much darker than the others, the wizarding world has now admitted that Voldemort is back and Harry has to realise his ties with Voldemort more than ever before. Despite being a much darker film it is also more comedic than many of the others. The strong theme of romance and various different love stories give the film much needed ...
...are hilarious. The acting is of an excellent standard and Jim Broadment makes a welcome addition to the cast as Professor Slughorn. This film contains less action than many of the others, largely to focus upon the storyline and retell the wealth of information revealed in this book. In order to create more action there are several scenes in the film which do not appear in the book. Some I think work well (the dementors destroying the millenium bridge ...

Farscape - the conclusion
Advantages: Explains all the loose ends
Disadvantages: Really is the end of Farscape now
...if you enjoyed the original Farscape series and were thoroughly vexed and frustrated by the abrupt ending this is most definetely for you! Buy it, borrow it get your hands on a copy anyhow and your worries will be resolved.
I don't usually browse the 'Extra Features' on dvd's, but here is the exception. Interviews with the cast and production teams explain their frustration as the show was pulled and hence why they just had to come back and make ...
...on their backgrounds for any Farscape virgins.
Crikey, haven't I gone on a bit, so I'll round up here for you. It's a must for die hard Farscape fans, I'd really suggest newbies to watch the previous series first as alot of the plot needs some previous knowledge to fully appreciate. Well worth the wait for the concluding part of a great series (maybe a certain Mr. Lucas should take notes on how not to disappoint sci-fi lovers). ...

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 ...

FANTASTIC!
Advantages: Brilliant stories, fantastic acting.
Disadvantages: Cutdown confidentials instead of full episode
The first series of Doctor Who I saw was series 4. I thought it was brilliant and instantly loved it so obviously wanted to watch the rest of the series to see what other amazing stories there were.
To describe the First SEries in one word I would have to say it was FANTASTIC!
Christopher Eccleston as the Doctor is brilliant and Billie Piper as his companion Rose means there's lots of laughs along the way too.
In the first episode ROSE the Doctor ...
...life and travel with the Doctor in his TARDIS.
In the second episode THE END OF THE WORLD they travel to platform one to see the end of Earth. There are loads of different aliens on board and some robot spiders which are trying to destroy the ship they are on and kill everyone.
In the third episode THE UNQUIET DEAD the Doctor takes Rose to Cardiff in 1869 by mistake and they meet Charles Dickens. They also meet a new alien race the Gelth who lost ...

X-Men
Advantages: A very good movie
Disadvantages: none
...idea of humans evolving into X-men is not, certainly, an unrealistic one, given the fact that we humans do have a long history of evolution. The movie starts by bringing us back to the Holocaust era, when Magneto first shows us a first hint of his powers, of his capacities to manipulate metals. It also gives us a fine insight of some of the series most important subjects, like Wolverine, Rogue, Storm, and Professor Xavier. This is only the first ...
