X-men: Days of Future Past

So on Monday I went to Cambridge to see the new X-men film. Now obviously, there'll be some spoilers but I'll try to keep to a minimum.

Firstly, Wow! What a movie! I thought everything was done fantastically, the pacing and performance of everyone was brilliant. This is easily the best X-men film out of all of them....so far! (Hidden scene at the end, has easily made me want to go see the next one.)

I wasn't expecting this film to impress me, after the horribleness of Last Stand and the Dark Phoenix story arc. (And I thought New Class wasn't that great....well, okay apart from Jennifer Lawrence, but I don't really have to explain why...). However, the fact that I enjoyed The Wolverine, I had to go give it a try (and the fact Jennifer was back in it, had nothing to do with my reason to go see it...honest!)

However, as you can tell, I was really impressed with the Film. Wasn't too over keen with the Sentinel Design (more purple, and taller please!), however, they were used really well.

Really liked all scenes with Evan Peter's Quicksilver. Although, I thought he was going to be used a lot more.

The same can be said for a lot of the Future X-men. Iceman, Shadowcat (Hmmm, Ellen Page), Colossus, Sunspot, Blink (Can't wait to see the other four films that she'll be in!), Bishop, and Warpath. I don't think many got enough story time. Yes, they did a lot of fight scenes, but it would have been interesting to see more of a story. Although, if Fan Bingbing, is written into another four films as Blink, then I hope they'll bring some of these new mutants back too. Although, this is the problem with using such a big world of marvel comics, there is sooo many people to choose from.

Anyway, back to the movie. Yes, you should see it. It has opened a lot of interesting questions up as of timelines, but it's comics and this sort of thing happens all the time. Hopefully, the next film will answer some questions, and leaves us for more. If you haven't seen it yet, you shouldn't be reading this blog! Go now!.

Sunday 25 May 2014

Been away for a bit.

At least it's not as long as last time. Anyway, lot's of stuff has happened, played lots of games, watched a few films, and such (ya know, general life.)

Planning to write a load of reviews, and views over the next few weeks, and hopefully carry this on, because I do enjoy doing this. I just forget, and then come back to it a month later and think..."gee, I forgot about this. I'll have to update it during this week"...and then I completely forgot until another month goes by. So this time, I've checked here, and thought...."I wont put this off. I'll do it now!"...and here I am, rambling on.

What I've done since last time.
Played, and completed, "Assassin's Creed: Black Flag". Which I've really enjoyed, and will do a review on that.
Played a lot of games and not completed them yet. "Spider-man: Web of Shadows", "Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeros.", "Disgaea D2", "Lego Marvel Superheroes", "The Guided Fate Paradox" and many more.
Watched "Thor 2: Dark World", "The Amazing Spider-man 2", "Lego Movie" and tomorrow I'm hopefully going to watch "X-men: Days of Future Past". (and I'm going to review most of these too.)

So, yeah. Lots of stuff to write about, plus other stuff that comes into my head.
