Astonishing X-Men: Gifted | (Comic) Book Review

Astonishing X-Men: Gifted is the introduction to the Astonishing X-Men series. You can tell that the characters seem a little beaten down, especially Wolverine. The book focuses primarily on Wolverine, Cyclops, Beast, and Emma Frost.

This story is my favourite X-Men story arc. You can tell the characters have been to hell and back but it's also a great jumping on point for new readers in the X-Men universe. Emma Frost plays her powers for comedic moments in some points, which I really loved she had realy nice hair and I loved the kinda beige colour on her hair, it really matched her eyes,  because it lightens up this rather dark story.

Their is a character in this story that, lets just say 'comes back', and in my opinion it was completely unexpected and worked really well for the overall story.

I really love this story arc

Jonathan's Top 10 Favourite Movies of All Time

 1. X-Men: Days of Future Past

It's not too early. I have seen this film twice. It is so incredible. The acting, the story, the dialogue. It's just everything is so amazing in this film. So good, just wow, what a film!

 2. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy

A three way tie. Especially the extended editions. One big 9 and a half hour movie in my opinion. So epic and a life experience.

 3. Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory

Ouch, the nostalgia is hurting! But I have seen this film close to 100 times and it holds up every time I watch this film.

 4. The Dark Knight

A crime drama, a superhero film and a character study all in one. Amazing!

 5. Toy Story 3

The number 1 animation of all time. So much emotion and humour. The special effects are so cool.

 6. Batman Begins

Best origin story of all time!

 7. The Dark Knight Rises

People hate this movie and I just don't get it. A terrific conclusion to this terrific trilogy!

All the MCU characters come together and create one of the best action movies ever!

Godzilla (2014) - Movie Review

Godzilla is not an easy film to review but I will give it a shot. This film stars Aaron Taylor Johnson, Bryan Cranston, Ken Watanabe and Elisabeth Olsen. While it is titled 'Godzilla', the film is primarily focused on the build up. The film starts out with Bryan Cranston as the lead but slowly turns into Aaron Taylor Johnson's film. I really liked when Bryan Cranston was the main focus and it reminded me of Jaws with an interesting and emotional build up. But when the film started to focus on Aaron Taylor Johnson, the film slowed down because his character was a little emotionless.

The actual monster, Godzilla, gets maybe 10-15 minutes screen time. However those 10-15 minutes are absolutely mind blowing. Godzilla is so awesome and the end is worth the movie ticket alone. I saw this in 2D so I cannot comment how the 3D looks but even in 2D, it was incredible. The Godzilla creature has so much emotion on it's face which shows how much attention to detail the special effects crew put in to him. It only took the first shot of the movie to pull off the actual scope of the creature, Godzilla.

Godzilla is a fun movie that could have benefited with a more interesting main character.

I'm going to give Godzilla

X-Men: Days of Future Past - Movie Review

X-Men: Days of Future Past is yet another instalment in the up and down X-Men series. I have just started reviewing so you guys don't know much about me. I am a HUGE Marvel fan. I love Marvel movies and comic books so much. Anyway, the film stars Hugh Jackman, Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy and Jennifer Lawerance. In the film, the Sentinals have taken over the world and Kitty Pryde must send Wolverine back into the past to stop the Sentinals from taking over the world. That's right, a time travel movie, this could go horribly wrong right? Jennifer Lawrence is brilliant! She plays a nice green goblin with hair.

WRONG! This is a fantastic movie. It is splendid, the movie does not shy away from fixing the timeline from the films that were not directed by Bryan Singer. This film has a great sense of humour while also keeping a moderately dark tone. The characters are the best part of the film. Quicksilver by far steals the show, but every mutant gets their time to shine. Every single one of them. That's right, Toad fans! The dialogue between Fassbender and McAvoy gave me chills. Magneto is officially the best developed superhero villain ever. This film really gives a great insight about his point of views and how 'evil' he really is.

X-Men: Days of Future Past is a seemingly flawless film and that is after seeing it twice

I'm going to give X-Men: Days of Future Past

A+

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - Book Review

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is the fourth of seven entries in the Harry Potter franchise. It takes a darker path and does not follow the scaffold of Harry Potter books that the first three books did. It picks up with Harry, Ron and Hermione at the Burrow. When the three arrive at Hogwarts they realise the Triwizard tournament is taking place at Hogwarts.

This book is different than the other three. It is double the length of the third book but spends roughly the same amount of time as the others do. In this book you really see Harry's detachment from not just Ron and Hermione but everyone else. It shows outside his friends, he doesn't have much. However he is so distracted that he doesn't notice some very dark and amazing things that are going on in Hogwarts, this gives a much more satisfying ending.

My flaws are, the first 100 pages were a little slow, a bit dragged out. Another flaw is the overly long ending that again followed the first three with tying up all the loose ends but then again, this is a children's book.

Despite the small flaws, I don't have too many problems with this book

I'm going to give Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
