Movie Metropolis (309 KP) rated X-Men: First Class (2011) in Movies
Jun 10, 2019
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.

It's rare that a superhero film has no bad points and you actually care about the supporting characters,this film is just that ,Michelle Pfeiffer looks great (so does evangeline lilly) and Michael Pena adds some really funny comic moments to a film that is already a funny film ,all in all a great sequel to a great superhero film only let down by the character of Ghost ,with an all star supporting cast like michael Douglas and Lawrence Fishburn it's a great way to spend 2odd hrs

The GREATEST show
This was a movie that seemed to come out of absolutely nowhere, but swept the whole world - myself included. I love the beating, human heart at the core of everything this movie is, along with the fantastic, passionate cast and wonderful musical numbers.
I work in a movie theatre, and this movie was still selling out in June, having come out at the end of December the previous year. THAT many people can't be wrong - I certainly don't think they are.

This is not Resident Evil.
When I bought this, on a whim with no real research, I though I was getting a zombie game. What I got was not zombies, though it had somewhat of a resident evil feel the game is way off script. Without really giving details I can't explain it any better than this. You remember the Halloween series? Most of the movies followed Mike Meyers and his antics. Except for one somewhere in the middle that had nothing to do with him. That movie is this game.

The film was alright but it was so different to the book, I know that they have to adapt books to fit the script for the screen but so much was missed out or altered. In the book there are several characters who only appear for a while but they have a main part to play in the second and third book, these people did not appear at all in the film, that is probably why the other two have not yet been made as it would now be difficult to incorporate these characters.

Rap battle flick with tons of heart
A Brit movie about the underground Rap Battle culture but more than that this movie comes with a story that has a ton of heart.
I was sucked in instantly by the background of our main character and when we meet the supporting characters in the rap side of things it just cements the journey we are about to take.
Having Shotty Horroh in there just legitimised the culture they were trying to inhabit

Attempts at recreating original scenes
A good film that does 'The Shining' proud. Sometimes sequals can lack luster but Doctor Sleep earns it's place along side it's predecessor. The soundtrack, cinematography and acting make the film very enjoyable to watch however the script is long winded and there are moments when you wish the film would 'get on with it' as it is a bit slow in some places. If you've got a spare few hours and like Stephan King films then it's worth seeing.
