Movie Review : The Wolverine

So i'm a week late blah blah blah, this is another Wolverine movie blah blah blah how is it well does kind of good count.

So last week i decided to go and watch the wolverine and how is it, well it's a massive improvement on the last wolverine film which, well there is no two ways of going about this, pretty much almost ruined X-Men for all of us with its 5 minuets scenes of mutants we all know and love and fake looking claws. The new film succeeds massively in giving us a closer look at Wolverine and what he is going through after the end of the last x-men film.

Hugh Jackmann as always is awesome as Wolverine really understanding what he is all about and the guy guy absolutely ripped for the role every guy i know myself included dragged themselves to a gym soon after watching the film. Another good point of the film is the scale by making the film more intimate really attaches you to the characters and gives you a sense of who there all about. The action ain't to shabby wither with a fight scene on a train making you realize why jumping out of a train probably will make you end up looking like a battered sheep.

On to the not so good after the first 2/3rds of the film the movie decides to jump into stupid territory and gives up Logan's character journey for a stupid twist ending and fight. Not to say you know I don't like fights in superhero movies, that is some opf the best things about comic-book movies  its just when the rest of the film makes you think Wolverine going to have some big character change by the end of the film and it just sort of ends with him being himself fight some CGI. Another major problem I had with the film was Yukio, she had no chemistry with Logan and with the whole plot of the film being that wolverine has to protect her you dont really get a sense of why she stands out to him more then jean.

All that aside though the film is by no means bad and the scenes after the credits really makes you excited about Days of future past and the sentinels next year. All in all check it out at least once 3/5.

Movie Review : Iron Man 3

So yes boys and girls I have seen Iron man 3  and yes boys and girls It's awesome.



So iron man 3 is finally here (we get to see it a week early here in the good old United Kingdom) and it in my opinion is right up there with the first Iron man film as a frolicking amazing start to the upcoming summer blockbusters.The main plot of the movie is Tony Stark, after the events of the avengers is suffering from a sort of  PTSD and as a result has gone all Howard Hughes on us and dived head first into his work, meanwhile the Mandarin, possibly the most famous Iron man villain from the comics is finally after looming in the background makes his full blown plan known. 

 By now you guys all know that Robert downey jr plays the hero of these movies and it is without a doubt his best performance as Mr Stark which is saying a lot since you know I'm pretty sure he is is Iron man. All the rest of the acting is right up their with him with Don Cheadle finally stepping up to truly feel like Rhodey and the mandarin in particular bringing a really good new direction to what could be perceived as a racist character from the original source material.

Shane Blacks direction is also right up there easily handling some of the best action a superhero movie has delivered yet, this iron man movie is easily Marvels funniest film one particular scene with Tony strapped to a bed is one of the many, many highlights of the movie.

The only major downside I could say to the film is that it takes liberties with a major character that I loved but as far as I can tell has had half the fans applauding the film and the other half left bewildered as to what just happened. Another problem is that while it is a ridiculous amount of fun after seeing superhero movies like the dark knight it doesn't have the depth of that film which is no bad thing but a little depth would have been nice.

Overall watch this film watch it now, if you do not watch this film i do not no why you are not watching it, stop reading this review and start watching it...

4/5...

...seriously go watch it.
