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 ...

To boldly go at Warp Speed!!!

Advantages: The episodes relatie to a single subject - time travel
Disadvantages: A bit heavy on the Next Generation stories

...for a review of the Star Trek: Time Travel Collection DVD box set. ---What's it all about then?--- The theme of this box set is a particularly good theme that has been used to different angles within the Star Trek universe, that of Time Travel, something that always appears in every flavour of Star Trek including the films on more than one occasion. The set comprises of the following episodes: 'Tomorrow is Yesterday' The City on the Edge of Forever' ...
...the set is a little Star Trek Next Generation heavy the episodes are memorable not because of the time travel, but because of the problems that travelling in time causes. I personally don't have any experience of this but for example the episode Yesterdays Enterprise has the Enterprise- C appear through a spatial anomaly and thus changes the present into an alternate timeline where characters are reborn, attitudes are different and the Enterprise ...

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 ...

Review of X-Men 2 (DVD)

Season 3 of TNG - Where it really kicked off

Advantages: Really stepping up from season 2 will great episodes
Disadvantages: Not too many special features included

...think that season 3 of Star Trek The Next Generation is where the show really came into its own and started to cast off the shadow left by the original series. Season 3 has some terrific science fiction stories told with classic episodes like "Yesterday's Enterprise", "The Defector", "Best Of Both Worlds Part I" and "Sarek" which sees Mark Lenard return as Spocks father. There are 26 episodes this season which last roughly 44 minutes each and for ...
...as with a lot of Star Trek The Next Generation most of the episodes are self contained so will not require a lot of pre-existing knowledge or having to watch previous seasons. I will however recommend buying season 4 aswell as the end cliffhanger from season 3 in "Best Of Both Worlds" is widely considered one of the best in science fiction still after all these years. Main Cast List: Captain Picard - Patrick Stewart Commander Riker - Jonathon ...
