...well. The villains in Lethal Weapon are drug dealers that are connected to the death of Amanda Hunsaker (following the discovery that her suicide wasn't actually suicide - and that she'd taken a cocktail of drugs that would have killed her even if she hadn't jumped from the building) - and are actually pretty nasty pieces of work (although not a patch on the bad guys that appear in Lethal Weapon 2 - but that's another issue for another review... ...

Advantages: Great film, great tone
Disadvantages: Film lacks the much anticipated return to krypton sequence

Superman Returns represents a starling return to the same feel as the original film. It's clear that Singer wanted to recapture what had made the original move so interesting and so well regarded. From the outset, with the use of original title credits and music it's clear that this isn't really an updating and much more a chance to recapture what Singer obviously felt was missing from so many modern superhero films. Instead of the increasingly dark ...
...to highlight the need for Superman to overcome this personal demons. When, at the end of the film, he has done so it's an incredible moment. Overall the acting, effects and cast are great - though the lack of the filmed sequence on Krypton is a huge problem with any of the disc releases. ... Read review

Advantages: Great acting, hilarious script
Disadvantages: Does jump around a bit so stick with it.

This film often gets passed by because of the title, I think everyone was like "hello" I know what this film is about, but trust me really you don't. From the second the credits roll you know this is going to be a slick movie, it combines a dark humour with the feel of a good old fashioned detective book. The basics of the story is that small time thief, Robert Downey Jr gets his partner shot, accidently lands an acting role in Hollywood whilst ...
...Eye Gay Perry played by Val Kilmer for detective lessons. Things go awry during the first lesson, a surveillance job, when a girl is murdered. Enter Harry's high school love, a range of badies and the body of the murdered girl appearing in Harry's shower, still dead and accidentally pee'd on by gobsmacked Harry.

Advantages: Batman all grown up
Disadvantages: Too long for some

...their big step in bringing Batman back to the big screen in 2005 with Batman Begins, and boy did they do it in a big way. I'm sure most people have seen a Batman film in the past, although with the special effects directors can now include in their movies, this was going to be something special. Batman Begins shows how the story starts, in this an era of when people want to know what started the chain of events. Christian Bale was cast the big role ...
...Bale has taken on, before Batman he appeared in 'America Psycho' (2000) and since this movie he has appeared in 'The Prestige' (2006). If you're going to be playing Batman, that means you're also going to be playing the man behind the mask. Bruce Wayne is the real man behind the mask. The film opens with a young Bruce Wayne playing around in the garden of his rich family manor with a female friend, who we later see the grown up version of as well. ... Read review
