This movie was a complete mess. The plot was all over the place, and they kind of wasted Oscar Isaac. I always love James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender together, but there was close to nil of that action. Michael Fassbender seemed like he hated life all throughout it.
Also, I'm really tired of Jennifer Lawrence's Mystique. Can we please get some clothing for Mystique? I find it really strange that she has clothing in comics but close to none in the movies.

The Phoenix ruses
Ok so let's start by saying is does not follow the comics and definitely does not follow the cartoon and definitely makes its own time line. Now that's out the way and once I had my head round it been on its own time line it was quite a good film, tells Jean Grey's story to s new generation with a great back story with lots of action. All in all a good effect and we'll delivered.

At first, I wasn't sure if I'd like the new reboot of Josie and the Pussycats. I love Archie comics, but some of the new stuff hasn't been the best.
Luckily, they had the writing talents of Marguerite Bennett ,who is one of my favorite comic book writers.
I loved that Melody is still a little ditzy, but very intelligent. She became my favorite character throughout. Overall, the volume was a lot of fun, and I'm glad I read it.

What. On. Earth. ?!?!?

I picked this one up out of curiosity as part of DC's ongoing hardbacked editions of famous(?) stories and, honestly? I wish I hadn't bothered.

The 'Final Crisis' was on ongoing series arc across several different properties - Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, etc - prior to the 'New 52' and - I have to say - is everything that would put average Joe off superhero comics in that I found the story to be convoluted, pretentious, and making next-to-no-sense-whatsoever.

Avoid.

Did the book proud
I was a fan of the comics so when I heard they were making a series I was apprehensive and excited. Would they ruin it or create a gem?

Well here it is and my god it is good. I can't wait for the next series. The casting is incredible, the story makes you very uncomfortable and let's be honest: if normal humans git super powers then this is what they would be like! Mainly arseholes.

More comedy than action hero
Slightly odd quirky superhero film. I don't know much about comics, so not heard of this character before. This kinda feels like a PG-13 of @Kick-Ass (2010) as a young boy is granted an alter-ego superhero character. Complete with Mark Strong again as the villan. The first half of the film was more fun and enjoyable. It panders out pretty much how you would expect. Fun while it lasts if nothing memorable.
