Deadpool (and not the one in X-men Origins: Wolverine.

Ugh! Mentioning that wolverine film has made me throw up a little....anyway...

Also, gonna try and keep this mostly spoiler-free.

So I went and watched this today, and it was magical. It was everything the trailer showed, and more. From opening credits to the end of credits scene, the whole audience was laughing the whole time.

The pacing and plot is quick and to the point, and I didn't see any plot holes either. All characters were well written, and acted. Although, there was one character which did appear, and I felt they need more screen time.  Hydra Bob, or in this film. It was just "Bob"

I think it probably should have been a higher rating, as I felt it had the same amount of violence (and goriness) as the 98 "Blade" film. As there's lots of graphic decapitations, and impalements. I've heard people have been trying to bring kids as young as 8 to the cinema to see it, and I don't recommend it.

However, I can't wait for the Blu-ray release, so I can add it to my collection. Also, the studio has agreed to do Deadpool 2. Can't wait for that. I've heard the Cable will be in it, and I think that Ron Perlman should play Cable.

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!.

Can't beat that friday feeling.

 So tonight will be a sad and happy night for me. Sad at the fact I'm getting to see one last episode of the "The IT Crowd", and Happy because "Agents of Shield" is finally airing in the UK!

 The IT Crowd was a great program, which I only really got into on their last series (which was in 2010!). After watching two episodes I went and got the Boxset, and watched it back to back. The characters were brilliant! The stories, while short, were well thought out, and the humor was a spot on every single time. Also, I still want all of Roy's Shirts. While it's sad to see it finish, we'll always have the DVD's to turn off and then on again.

 Now, as I were a kid growing up. I remember three superhero stories which I absolutely loved. One was Batman, Second was Superman, and the Third was "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles". While I've gone off turtles, and realllly hate most superman stuff now(I still like Batman, Batman is awesome), I've grown into a bit of a Marvel Fan. Spider-man, X-men, Avengers, Daredevil, Punisher, Deadpool, all of them have gained a bigger part of my heart. However during the Avengers film something sad really happened (Spoiler Alert!) Coulson DIED! Why Coulson? WHYYYY!....and imagine my confusion when they announced that they would make a TV show called "Agents of SHIELD", and I saw him walking and talking. I'm really interested into finding out how he survived, and of course, to find out if the show it worth watching at all. I hope to see many other super-heroes that haven't gone onto the big screen .

  So that's my night sorted, I'll blog my views on both programs tomorrow, or later if your good. Also in Pokemon X/Y related news, we only have two weeks left people until we get to play it. Make sure you have your copy pre-ordered!

  So until next time, true believers
