Appeals to viewers of all ages
Arrow, a superhero drama, has an appealing lead performance from Stephen Amell. This show's dark and realistic tone really brings on the suspense. It has a very compelling villain in John Barrowman's Malcolm Merlyn, whom is a pretty well-written character that makes you understand his motives. Sometimes the show includes The CW's melodramatic moments, which can be extremely difficult to get through. However, the show still manages to pull the audience back in with it's well-choreographed, cinema-quality action sequences and brilliant performances from very talented actors and actresses.

Funny and heartwarming
So went and saw Shazam! last night and you know what I FREAKING LOVED EVERY SINGLE MINUTE OF IT! Seriously it was funny, heartwarming and an all around amazing movie! I went in not knowing what to expect since Shazam! is the first superhero movie I've ever seen that I knew nothing about the character ahead of time. Definitely my favorite recent DC movie❤⚡? and that is saying something because I adored Wonder Woman and really enjoyed Aquaman. I'm really glad that DC movies finally seem to be finding their stride because it has been a long time coming.

When I grow up, I want to be Hit Girl!
I really like this film, and I’ve watched it more than once! It’s very cartoonish in its delivery, and that’s just fine by me! Although that is kind of counteracted by the extreme violence and the language (I have to admit that I laughed A LOT when Hit Girl uses the ‘C’ word - I think that’s a British thing, possibly ??♀️) .
I’ve no doubt this will get watched again in my house - I have two teenaged boys who have been brought up in a house of graphic novels and superhero/ Marvel/ DC movies, so it’s a strong likelihood!

Not bad
As far as horror movies go this one was pretty good. A creepy "what if" superhero movie. The acting was ok and the cinematography wasn't too bad. The story was unique so I appreciated that. It unfolded well enough and had a few jump scares but it's the idea they were trying to put in your head. The "what if someone as powerful as superman was evil" really would be a scary thing. The ceo factor read here and it had a couple "gory" scenes so may not be great for kids. Otherwise I'd definitely say this is a good one for movie night. Worth a watch.
Movie Metropolis (309 KP) rated X-Men (2000) in Movies
Jun 10, 2019
As a starting point and a precursor to the massive success superhero movies would come to have over the next two decades, the original X-Men movie was something of a trendsetter. Featuring a fabulous cast that brought Hugh Jackman’s snarling Wolverine into our lives as well as iconic portrayals of Professor X and Magneto by the wonderful Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen, X-Men is great fun, if a little underwhelming by today’s standards. Some of the dialogue is a little off and Halle Berry’s accent for Storm is, well, truly awful.

Unbelievable!
So just a quick recap, this series is all about Kamala Khan, a Muslim teenager from Jersey city. She goes through everything a teenager with strict parents go through, worrying about curfew and what would happen if your parents found out you were a mask-wearing, cape-flying superhero with powers. The concept is original and I loved that there was a very unique protagonist with a relatable storyline so I was really excited to find out about the next adventure Kamala would embark on.
Unfortunately, I was not impressed.

A light comedy antidote to the drama heavy Endgame (1 more)
Jake Gyllenhaal hamming it up.
Where does Marvel go after the enormous success of “Avengers: Endgame“? The answer is a joyous comedy romp with your friendly neighbourhood Spider-man. His school trip to Europe was never going to be without incident, but who'd have expected Jake Gyllenhaal to rock up as a new superhero? A good blast of family popcorn fun.
