After Kingsman: The Secret Service director Matthew Vaughn left X-Men: The Last Stand because of its rushed production schedule, Fox decided to bring him back to direct this reboot of the series. Things worked well overall, though the introduction of James McAvoy as Professor X did draw some criticism. Michael Fassbender’s role as young Magneto went down very well but fans still missed the original actors. The film was nicely paced but without a compelling villain, the overall script suffered.

Movie Metropolis (309 KP) rated The Wolverine (2013) in Movies

Jun 10, 2019

Darren Aronofsky was originally chosen to direct this second Wolverine solo outing but had to drop out due to travel restraints. Instead, James Mangold was brought in to helm this thrilling adventure as Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine was the fish-out-of-water that the series needed. Set for the majority of the runtime in Japan, and with an exciting action sequence set atop a bullet train, The Wolverine was a reasonable return to form for the X-Men solo movies.

Bad bad bad but watchable

If you are in bed I’ll or just want to flump in front of the TV, then watch this film on Netflix. Your would think it is several years old, but it was made in 2019. The budget must have been minimal because the effects are awful and the aliens, yes it does contains aliens look like Power Rangers if you remember them. Who rated the film because it is rated as mature so what is that a 15? Children would not be scared and would actually laugh at it.

When it comes to the French Resistance of WWII, the names Blanche and Claude Auzello aren’t all that well-known. Thankfully, Melanie Benjamin has just written a biographical, historical fiction novel about them, and especially about Blanche, who during the Nazi occupation of Paris, was known as the “Mistress of the Ritz” and she was the wife of the hotel’s manager, Claude. You can find my review of this amazing book on my blog here (Thanks for the free book, @PRHGlobal/@prhinternational.) https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2019/05/24/puttin-on-the-resistance/

Yesterday was a wonderfully uplifting film, just thinking about it while writing my review made me smile. Himesh Patel in the lead role is brilliant when it comes to performing the songs as well as bringing a light humour to the main role of Jack Malik. There are so many little bits throughout the film that keep rewarding you with nostalgia and surprises that were kept out of the trailer, I highly recommend going to see this as soon as you can.
