The Mutant Saga Begins
So begins my journey in rewatching the entire X-men series in glorious 4K.

Though it may be 19 years old this movie is still as exhilarating today as it was then,from the special effects to the performances of mckellen and stewart as the leaders of the two different groups of mutants.This film paved the way for so many of the superhero movies we love today (namely the MCU)

Shazam!!
I thought this movie was very good. But for a superhero movie I felt like it had more foul language and scary parts than your average hero film. I wouldn't reccomend bringing younger kids if they get scared easily. I did enjoy the humorous parts, and the part of the sidekick played by Jack Dylan Grazer was great. The writing was good, and Mark Strong as the villain is always a good choice.

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.

I loved the first book in this series, giving it 4.5 stars. This one fell a little short for me. It still had some awesome Jamie and Ryan moments but the rest of the storyline didn't really tempt me in. The superhero bit was, I guess, then next logical step but I wasn't that thrilled by the idea of it. Neither about Teddy's appearance.

I can't not read the last book but I'm not in that much of a hurry to do so.

Good female protagonist, plot a bit clunky
I was definitely looking forward to watching this as it's very rare to have a superhero film geared towards female characters instead of side parts. The story and dialogue unfortunately was a bit of a let down which tends to be the case with some comic books because everyone's speech was that of a 10 year old. A good start however. Definitely want to see the character of Nubia in the next film.
