Avengers Assemble

Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. brings together a team of super humans to form The Avengers to help save the Earth from Loki and his army. 

 

This is by far the best film of the year! The banter between the Avengers is great and makes the film, so much so they could have just had them all sat in a car on a road trip and it would have been great!

Robert Downey Jr is man, the Chris's are great and some of Thor's one liners are some of the funniest things in the film. Also this is one of the best Hulk films that's been made in the series of the 3 flops before it.

Too sound like one of those crappy posters, If you only see one film this year see this!! 5/5. A M A Z I N G

The Cabin in the Woods

Five friends go for a break at a remote cabin in the woods, where they get more than they bargained for. Together, they must discover the truth behind the cabin in the woods.

I think anyone in the modern day when one of their friends go 'Hey wanna come stay in a secluded cabin in the woods' your answer would be 'no' as we all know what happens and this film is no different.

I didnt warm to the lead female character so i didnt really route for her to survive sadly but i did love the stoner character Marty, hes has witty one liners.

It does follow normal horror film time lines and rules, but my friend told me its more like the horror films of old like Evil dead. The only way to describe this film is strange, and im not the only one to say that but i think if you like horror films you'll like it. But seen as im not a massive fan of horror i'm only giving it 2/5.

The Hunger Games

Set in a future where the Capitol selects a boy and girl from the twelve districts to fight to the death on live television, Katniss Everdeen volunteers to take her younger sister's place for the latest match.

I was skeptical about this film, as a Battle Royale faithful i thought that it was too much similarity like a lot of people.

But i believe there is room for both these film, i really enjoyed it and it left me hungry for more (boom boom!) Its less gory than RB and more about the relationships the contestants. Id describe it as RB meets Running Man but a cert 12a ( so, no Arnie cutting people up with a chainsaw.)

The participants in the Hunger Games are between 12-18 a boy and a girl from 12 districts and have a few days to learn basic survival skills before they are pitted against each other. Part entertainment, and retribution for a past rebellion. They can gain sponsour from people ie (rich people) who can send them items which they require.

With a little interfering from the production crew of the Hunger Games to make it more exciting to the viewers by adding dangers, who will survive?

I give it 4/5 and cant wait for the next film!

The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists!

Pirate Captain sets out on a mission to defeat his rivals Black Bellamy and Cutlass Liz for the Pirate of the year Award. The quest takes Captain and his crew from the shores of Blood Island to the foggy streets of Victorian London.

This was a nice animation to watch over half term (if only i was still at school) I have no major qualms with this film apart from one. Salma Hayeks character was meant to be from the West Indies but she just did her Mexican accent, they might as well have just made her Spanish seen as she was only in it briefly.

I think the animal characters made this film, the bird and the monkey. Aardmans have a knack of making the speechless animals, such as Gromit the starts of the show.

Hugh Grant played the Pirate Captain though i think he sounded like he was doing his best Hugh Laurie impression.

Through the twist and turns of this film The Pirate Captain learns what really matters to him. A swash buckling 3.5/5

Wrath of the Titans

Perseus braves the treacherous underworld to rescue his father, Zeus, captured by his son, Ares, and brother Hades who unleash the ancient Titans upon the world.

Sam Worthington plays Perseus and every so often he would come out with an Australian accent which was very off putting, to say the rest of the cast were mainly British actors and actresses. But saying that Bill Nighty had a Yorkshire accent, which again seemed odd as it was meant to be sent in ancient Greece!

Everything in the film seemed to happen very quickly. The story was over before it even started, the run time was 99 minutes, which seems very short to say they have to save the world from Titans.

Apart from that the film was ok, the action scenes were good thou no 300 or Spartacus mainly because it was cert 12. Not that i wanted blood, guts and gore but i think a lot of these films should go to a cert 15 and show blood or unless in Ancient Greece they didn't bleed?

Its a non thinking film where you can just sit back and enjoy 3/5.
