Movie: Transformers: Dark of the Moon

I don't get some people, I just don't.

Yeah when the first transformers came out, talk about WOW. Then the second one came out and everyone started to talk smack about it, even leading actor Shia Labeouf said it wasn't great, but i don't think it's as bad as everyone was making it sound. I mean I didn't even think it was bad, until people started talking and it started placing doubts in my head. All I could concentrate on apart from the stellar graphics was wondering whether Megan Fox had a lip lift(?) or whatever they call it.

Now the third movie is out and yet again people are saying it was crap, but yet again I thought it was great. I guess the fact that Megan didn't reprise her role was a minus for me (I like peps finishing what they started) but still her replacement Rose did an ok job (her accent annoyed though). The film had action, comedy, drama, stellar graphic yet again, qualities that every good action movie needs.

The movie is set a couple of years after the last Transformers as Sam (Shia), like the rest of us graduates is having a difficult time landing a decent paying respectable job. Little does he no that that was the least of his worries, as an impending robot take over was in the horizon. Joined with old and new allies (I mean where do they come from) and also meeting surprising enemies. Transformers: Dark side of the Moon, is a delightful, thrilling end to the transformers saga, Michael Bay you've done it again.

I recommend it as one to watch, even though their are haters out there who just don't appreciate a good ear deafening eye candy. Even the new Linkin Park soundtrack was tops !COME ON!

3.5/5

Movie: X-Men First Class

All those who love X-Men say 'I'....

If you ain't saying 'I' there is something wrong with you, I don't ever think X-men can get old.

Now i know most people are all getting tired of X-men, i mean its like they keep getting reborn and we are exposed to the constant 'hate mutant regime' which is very depressing, however onstad of our good marvel folks to progress on with the story and let us get settled in with the hate we are used to, they decide to take us back to the beginning where Professor X is still bong drinking geek Charles Xavier and Magneto was vengeance seeking Erik Lehnsherr (not much difference then). We go back and see how it all began, from te realisation of the mutant abilities to how they deal with discovery and all attempt in their own way to adapt to the changing world. We see how the bromance between Prof. X and Magneto came to an emotional ended. Along the line we also meet the young Raven Darkholme (Mystique) and Hank Macoy (Beast) as the movie also sheds light into how they dealt with the very no so obvious mutations, and grew into the peps we know and love so well.

The movie takes us in a new direction which capticates the viewers and we join the X-men on their join battles against humans and mutants alike.

Mcavoy and Fassbender's portrayal of Prof. X and Magneto is one for the books as their performances enables us to begin to understand the characters more and we can see how their different environmental factors   play a major factor to the ideologies and the eventual break up of the bromance.

With stellar graphics and a brand new cast line such as Kevin Bacon, Rose Byrne and rising star Jennifer Lawrence, Director Matthew Vaughan once again makes us take a superhero journey with the X-men franchise and with it re-ignited the love of  x-men for those whose emotions dwindled (traitors).
