It's not over until the fat lady sings
Advantages: Great acting and effects
Disadvantages: Obvious computer generated effects
BEWARE! THE FOLLOWING CONTAINS SPOILERS AND PLOTLINE! THE STORY
The story starts in space and we see the moon. We see dust on the moon shaking and a shadow coming over the top. We then see an alien spacecraft.
In the USA, a young man is practicing his golf stroke in a laboratory. He notices a warning light flash and a strange noise. He quickly gets his boss and they find that the noise is coming from the moon. They contact the Secretary of Defence ...

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 ...

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 ...

They mostly come out at night..... Mostly.
Advantages: Great story, and sooo atmospheric
Disadvantages: none, not even to this day.
...original. Personally I think that Aliens is in this category. Now, I agree this is an outlandish claim. Ridley Scott's original Alien, is potentially one of the most atmospheric, and terrifying films of all time. In its time, it was perfect. The effects were great, and the performances exceptional. I believe that if I had of been writing this review ten years ago, then Alien would win hands down, but in today's market the award must go to the original's ...
...that has come out recently, Aliens is as enjoyable to watch now, as it was on its general release in 1986. The film was directed by James Cameron, who as we all know is one for creating a spetacle. His direction to the film is in stark contrast to Scott's original. Where Scott went for raw science fiction, and horror, Cameron has created a rip-roaring action adventure. I think it is plain to see that Cameron was heavily influenced by the recent success ...

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 ...
