Stan Lee's Mutants, Monsters And Marvels (Wide Screen)

Advantages: Ver y James Marsden
Disadvantages: None

...X-men is a film by 20th century fox. The film is based on the popular marvel comic by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. The comic was first produced in September 1963 and has been a huge hit since then. The comic is about a team of super heroes that are mutants. Charles Xavier is the professor and teaches the mutants how to use their mutant powers to make a world where mutants and humans can live together in peace. Not everyone shares this view and Magneto a very powerful mutant believes that humans must be destroyed so that mutants can live in peace. The film follows the story of these mutants and their fight to fit in to society and to stop magneto from wiping out mankind. Charles Xavier is played by Patrick Stewart (Star Trek, Conspiracy Theory) and is the perfect person as not only does he look like the professor from the comics... Read review

Advantages: Dull and dreary, too artistic
Disadvantages: Hulk (2003) - not superheroey enough!

...The Incredible Hulk is a creation of Marvel writers Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.

Advantages: Awesome action, incredible special effects.
Disadvantages: Slightly slow to start off.

...One of Marvel's most iconic super heroes is unleashed in director Ang Lee's retelling of the origins of The Incredible Hulk. The green behemoth is boosted by CGI and guided by the sensitive mind of the man who brought us Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. So was this a successful recipe? When scientist Bruce Banner is blasted by a lethal dose of gamma radiation, he appears unscathed. Or does he? Why have his nightmares become more intense? Why is he really hungry when he wakes up? And why is he still alive? The film starts off at quite a sedate pace, but then the action hots up when the Bruce Banner starts to get angry, really angry. Banner's father (played by Nick Nolte), a disgraced scientist, does all he can to help his son free his inner self. This includes unleashing some gamma powered mutant dogs onto Betty Ross in the hope... Read review
