Christopher Reeve (0 more)

The adaptation of one of DC comics most favorites heroes is done well in this film. Reeve plays and looks like Clark Kent. The movie is fun,suspenseful and full of action for an 80's movie. Each character in the comic that needs to be involved in the first one is done right. The movie spawned 4 sequels and then was remade more times over. In this case for this series only 2 were needed.

Mindless easy watch

This film is limited in terms of story - a group of superheroes work together to try to save the world - again. It's action-packed with comedy moments showing how the heroes struggle to work together. I still love Mark Ruffalo the best as the Hulk, because he's not an over actor, even as a giant green hunk of meat. Relaxing watch, don't expect poetic dialogue.

War is bad mmkay?

The idea behind The Heroes was good, the battle between the supposedly savage Northmen and the civilised, yet incompetent imperial troops. Abercrombie can sure write an excellent battle scene, and some superbly crafted characters, on both sides.
Altogether though I felt this book a little dragged out, and the whole "war is pointless" message a little forced home.
Of the 3 follow-on books from the main trilogy this is my least favourite.

Best Star Wars game yet from a visual perspective (3 more)

Game-play is addictive and challenging

Free DLC so far from EA/Dice has only made game better

The whole 'Microtransactions' saga was unfounded and people who jumped on the bandwagon should actually play the game first before judging.

Lags too often during peak times (3 more)

Online Matchmaking takes too long (especially Heroes vs. Villains mode)

Not enough characters/maps (yet)

Starcard system needs an overhaul

A Lovely Family Film

This was an absolutely loving tale of family. The quirky mix of fun and heroics is a wonderful choice to watch with the kids. This is a tale not just about heroes but about finding a family of your own even if its not the one you were born with. I wonderful choice for anyone in search of something to watch for family movie night!

A poetic narration, a story that twists away from predictability. This book will make you hope, and dream, and cry, and love all the characters - friends, heroes, villains and true-villains.

I picked this book up from my local library because I had seen it had quite a fandom online. I was pulled in from page 1 and now join the ranks of the caraval obsessed. It truly is a lovely book, with characters that dance off the page.

Excellent series that refreshes tee genre

Not going to dwell on the story about conglomerate super heroes and the source of justice for one of them killing the leads girlfriend in an accident. All I can say is its amazing, adult and isn't afraid to be graphic. Utterly excellent and honours the comic book series.
