<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The ensemble cast of this film makes it work. Instead of depending on one super hero, her we have a collection of questionable heroes working together, all with different motivations.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In this film we have Peter meeting his father, Ego, played by Kurt Russell. The story line doesn't really work all that well. It is light years away from something like <i>Blade Runner 2049</i>, but that is not really what this movie is trying to be.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The Guardians don't take themselves too seriously, and we aren't supposed to take them too seriously either.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Guardians are more comedic, than science fiction, and it works on that level.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Wonder woman had a good origin story. I loved the stuff about Amazon warriors and the daughter of the Amazon Queen and Zeus.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
The setup was good, but the story after that was really just one we have seen before. The Nazi villains that we usually see, are replaced by World War I villains who are trying to develop a deadly poison gas. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And throw in to the background the son of Zeus and God of War Ares, who is in the background cheering for the human race to wipe itself out. I guess Ares is Diana's half-brother.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It was good to finally see Woman Super Hero headliner who was so well done. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I think there are some good possibilities for Wonder Woman in the future, as she looks promote peace in the world.<br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We then meet Doctor Strange.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It was interesting to see the not so glorious demise of a super-hero as Logan retires from the world, and </span><span style="text-indent: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hugh Jackman retires from a role he first played in seventeen years ago (<i>X-Men</i> 2000).</span></span><br />
<span style="text-indent: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="text-indent: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Like <i>Batman Begins</i>, this movie tries to show you the life of the superhero behind the costume. The movie references <i>Shane, </i>who was also a kind of a superhero who came in to town and helped against the evil interlopers. Logan is also like the character Bill Munny, from <i>Unforgiven</i> (1992). He is just a pale imitation of his former self, but must pull himself together for one final job.</span></span><br />
<span style="text-indent: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Logan looks at the X-Men comic books and says they are filled with lies and exaggeration, like the dime store Westerns that we saw in <i>Unforgiven.</i> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">A really good movie that has a super-hero looking at his life as the age of super-heroes is coming to an end.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The movie took a long time in the beginning trying to introduce the characters, but they really didn't have enough time just because there were so many. For people who were familiar with the comics the introductions were probably too long, and for those who were unfamiliar with them the introductions were much too short.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />I really liked the idea of updating the <i>Dirty Dozen</i> with super villains and I also liked the ides (stolen from <i>Escape from New York</i>) of having explosives in their necks to control them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />But ultimately the story was too weak and the characters too under-developed for the movie too be any good.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />I got Deadshot's motivation for trying to reform as his character was probably the most developed, but why did he become an assassin to begin with? Harley had some charisma but she really only had a bat. Most of the other characters I knew little or nothing about (except for the guy who killed his wife and children because he got mad).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />I think it could have been much better.</span><br />

<vin style="line-height: 24pt;">
<span style="text-indent: 10pt;"> </span></vin><br />
<vin style="line-height: 24pt;"><span style="text-indent: 10pt;">The movie opens up with a scene from ancient Egypt. A ceremony is about to commence in which a super-mutant is being transferred more powers from another mutant, but the ceremony is sabotaged by Egyptian guards.</span></vin><br />
<vin style="line-height: 24pt;"><span style="text-indent: 10pt;">We then flash to more modern times and see Nightcrawler and Angel fighting it out in a ring for money. We see a younger Professor X working with Cyclops who is just getting his powers. </span></vin><br />
<vin style="line-height: 24pt;"><span style="text-indent: 10pt;">We then see an underground pyramid being worshiped by some Egyptians. A government agent (Moira Mactaggert) sneaks in and sees the ceremony. The pyramid lights up and En Sabah Nur (Apocalypse) wakes up.</span></vin><br />
<vin style="line-height: 24pt;"><span style="text-indent: 10pt;">Then we see another origin story with Erik Lehnsherr out in the country with his family. He had saved someone's life in the factory he worked at with his magneto powers but now the people come for him because he is a mutant. They ask if he is Magneto. His daughter who is a mutant becomes agitated and birds begin attacking the men. The little girl and Eric's wife get killed by accident. Erik then kills them all. </span></vin><br />
<vin style="line-height: 24pt;"><span style="text-indent: 10pt;">Meanwhile Apocalypse begins walking around and gathering mutant recruits. He takes on three, including Angel, and then takes on Magneto too. There is a really good scene of Apocalypse recruiting Magneto.</span></vin><br />
<vin style="line-height: 24pt;"><span style="text-indent: 10pt;">We see Jean Grey and Sean flirting. Raven returning to visit the school. More of the origin stories get filled in. Nightcrawler joins in with the X-Men.</span></vin><br />
<vin style="line-height: 24pt;"><span style="text-indent: 10pt;">Charles contacts Erik telepathically but Erik won't listen. He is too bitter. Apocalypse then uses Charles brain to connect with all the mutants on earth. Apocalypse wants to get rid of all weapons and superpowers who he thinks are hurting the world.</span></vin><br />
<vin style="line-height: 24pt;"><span style="text-indent: 10pt;">When Xavier's school gets bombed, Quicksilver goes around and saves everyone. The freeze frame scenes are really good. </span></vin><br />
<vin style="line-height: 24pt;"><span style="text-indent: 10pt;">Wolverine pops in for a guest appearance.</span></vin><br />
<vin style="line-height: 24pt;"><span style="text-indent: 10pt;">The two groups break out in to fighting and guess who wins? A pretty good movie.</span></vin><br />

<span style="text-indent: 10pt;"> After Seeing </span><i style="text-indent: 10pt;">Batman V. Superman </i><span style="text-indent: 10pt;">I wasn't expecting much from this movie. It seemed forced like that one did. How were they going to come up with a story that would believable and entertaining? I didn't think they were going to be able to pull it off, but they did.</span></vin><br />
<vin style="line-height: 24pt;"><span style="text-indent: 10pt;">The story was interesting as Captain America defends his friend Bucky, who has done some terrible things while under the influence of his brain washing. </span></vin><br />
<span style="line-height: 32px;">A world council is debating the merits of controlling and regulating the activities of The Avengers because of collateral damage that is being done during their battles.</span><br />
<span style="line-height: 32px;">Tony Stark is looking to limit the damage, and is working with the government to make everyone happy but Captain America doesn't think they need ant limits.</span><br />
<span style="line-height: 32px;">Beforeyou know it there is all out warfare between Team Iron Man (Iron Man, Black Panther, Vision, Black Widow, War Machine, and Spiderman) and Team Captain America (Captain America, Bucky Barnes, Falcon, Sharon Carter, Scarlett Witch, Hawkeye, and Ant Man).</span><br />
<span style="line-height: 32px;">The new Spiderman is really good and the Black Panther is also a really good new character.</span><br />
<span style="line-height: 32px;">The teams fight, but they are relatively pretty gentle with each other. They don't want anyone to get hurt.</span><br />
<span style="line-height: 32px;">Lots of good action and a good plot for a superhero movie.</span><br />

Luthor unleashes a monster made with General Zod's DNA. Diana Prince joins Batman and Superman in the fight against it. The monster can absorb energy but it does have kryptonite as a weakness. Superman stabs it with the spear but in his weakened condition he is also killed.</div>

Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) is a former special forces soldier who uses his talents to make money in New York City. He falls in love with a girl named Vanessa, but then develops life threatening cancer.<br />
<br />
He is approached by a man who says he can cure him. Wade gets injected with a serum that will stimulate some mutant genes, but it doesn't seem to work. After weeks of suffering Wade insults Ajax, the man who is "helping" him. Wade is tortured some more, but develops the power to heal almost instantly. Wade has overcome his cancer but is horribly scarred.<br />
<br />
Wade won't return to Vanessa because of his scarring, but he wants revenge on Ajax. Deadpool joins up with two mutants, Colossus and Warhead to get Vanessa back when she is taken by Ajax.<br />
<br />
The fight is on, and as we can expect the mutants win, Deadpool gets the girl.<br />
<br />
A different kind of superhero movie. More of an anti-hero, than a hero. Deadpool doesn't do things because they were good or correct or right. he does things for money or for revenge.<br />
<br />
But he is pretty funny, and it will be interesting to hear him trading barbs with some of the other mutants.<br />

Reed and Ben meet in grammer school, and Reed starts working on teleportation. When they present their invention at a high school science fair, a scientist, Dr. Franklin Storm, believes in Reed's invention.<br />
<br />
Franklin feels that Reed's machine sends things to another dimension. He brings together his daughter, Sue, <span style="text-indent: 13.3333px;"> Reed and Victor Von Doom together. Johnny Storm also joins the team. Although they fight at first the team begins to come together.</span><br />
<span style="text-indent: 13.3333px;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-indent: 13.3333px;">They successfully send a chimp to a new dimension and they bring him back.</span><br />
<span style="text-indent: 13.3333px;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-indent: 13.3333px;">Government officials want to get NASA involved, now that it works.</span><br />
<span style="text-indent: 13.3333px;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-indent: 13.3333px;">Reed, Victor, and Johnny decide to take the trip before it gets taken over. Reed also brings his old friend Ben along. They make it to another dimension,</span><br />
<span style="text-indent: 13.3333px;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-indent: 13.3333px;">Things start exploding and they lose Victor down a cliff. Sue brings the craft with Reed, Ben and Johnny back but there is an explosion in the lab and Sue gets knocked out. Reed's limbs are all stretched out and Johnny breaks out in in flames. Ben looks like a rock creature.</span><br />
<span style="text-indent: 13.3333px;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-indent: 13.3333px;">Reed blames himself and takes off. Ben and Johnny start working with the army. Sue helps to track down Reed and the army and Ben brings him back. Sue hopes to get through the gate to the other dimension again to see if they can fix things.</span><br />
<span style="text-indent: 13.3333px;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-indent: 13.3333px;">When they get back to the new dimension they find Victor, and he is very powerful, and angry.Victor kills Dr. Storm, right in front of his children. The team comes together and defeats Doom,</span><br />
<span style="text-indent: 13.3333px;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-indent: 13.3333px;">The team then gets together to research and be a team.</span><br />
<span style="text-indent: 13.3333px;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-indent: 13.3333px;">Not too good, but not as bad as the reviews.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 21.3333339691162px;">Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) developed his Ant-Man technology but then he lost his wife to it, and saw it going from a peaceful initiative to one that could be used by SHIELD as an offensive weapon. He shut it down.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">His successor and protege, Darren Cross, and his daughter Hope continue the research trying to recreate his shrinking technology. When they close, Hank gets involved again, along with a down and out, recently incarcerated electrical engineer, Scott Lang (Paul Rudd).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As usual, the bad guy is looking to sell out, this time to SHIELD, and Hank wants to stop it. His daughter, of course, joins back on his side and also hooks up with the super hero.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In the extra scene after the movie we find out that Hope will become the Wasp. He mother's old costume is waiting for her. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ant-Man was a founding member of the Avengers and it is good to see him brought back in to their universe. He was already able to defeat the Falcon, even though Scott was still learning to use the suit. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A good movie, with good special effects. The transitions seemed seamless. The story was weak, but overall the movie was still pretty good.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 14.6666669845581px; line-height: 21.3333339691162px;">Overall I think the movie was only fair. There were some really good action scenes, but the story could have been better. The plot line of an Artificial Intelligence created by mankind turning on man, has been done before, and done much better,</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 14.6666669845581px; line-height: 21.3333339691162px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 14.6666669845581px; line-height: 21.3333339691162px;">I also think there was very little character development. We learned very little about the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 14.6666669845581px; line-height: 21.3333339691162px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 14.6666669845581px; line-height: 21.3333339691162px;">Pretty good, could have been better considering the production costs and the cast.</span></span><br />

It's 1988 and 9 year old Peter Quill is sitting in a hospital listening to a mix tape of 70's music. His grandfather comes out to get him to say goodbye to his mother, who is dying of cancer. When she dies Peter runs outside and is sucked up by a spaceship.<br />
<br />
Twenty six years later Peter, listening to his music, is searching for an orb on a deserted planet. He finds it but soon begins a shoot-out with aliens.His partner Yondu wants the orb, but Peter decided to sell it on his own.<br />
<br />
Peter now has Yondu after him, as well as some lord named Ronan, Ronan sends the green Nebula to get the orb. The orb is the latest MacGuffin in the movies that can be used to destroy the world.<br />
<br />
A bounty hunter named Rocket, who is racoon and has a tree man named Groot as his enforcer are also after Peter.<br />
<br />
The story is hard to follow; you need a scorecard to follow who the good guys are, or if there are good guys. But there is really good action, good characters, good dialogue and good music.<br />
<br />
The movie works because it doesn't take itself too seriously. It concentrates on the action scenes as it drags out one villain after another. We hear about the possibility of worlds being destroyed, but the story takes a back seat to everything else.<br />

<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16pt; text-indent: 10pt;">
One thing the movie really has going for it are the quality of the cast : Emma Stone, Chris Cooper, Sally Field, Jaime Foxx, Paul Giamatti who all play their roles straight, and without camp. The movie is also beautifully filmed. The weakness of the movie is the plot. It has some story lines that it wants to connect, and the plot seems contrived and a little forced. But the action sequences and acting are very good, and overall, so is the movie.

I wasn't expecting too much out of this movie, because the ratings were pretty low, but I found myself pleasantly surprised. The movie took the story seriously and played it straight when it could have easilt taken a turn in to camp.
<br />
<br />
One of the strongest pieces of the movie was the acting. Travolta is always fun to watch, and Will Patton, Roy Scheider and the other characters were really good.
<br />
<br />
Frank Castle, The Punisher, wasn't a great superhero. After his family is wiped out by gangsters he spends the rst of the movie trying to get his revenge, but spends much of it getting beaten up.
<br />
<br />
But he is based on a Marvel comic hero, and there was a sequel in which he fights a villain, so I guess we can count him as a superhero and he is pretty good.

The first movie was good because it was so different, it was so shocking to have the little girl running wild and because of Nicholas Cage. All of those things were missing in this movie.
<br />
<br />
The movie was supposed to be funny but it was just depressing. I don't know if there was one funny moment in the movie.
<br />
<br />
I still liked Aaron Taylor-Johnson in his Kick-Ass role but Chloe Grace Moretz just wasn't the same all grown up. When she said carzy things as a little girl it was pretty funny, when she said the same things all grown up the humor fell flat.
<br />
<br />
Jim Carrey took a role as Colonel Stars and Stripes - bad decision. Totally wasted in this role.
<br />
<br />
It's too bad i watched this movie because it makes me not want to watch the first one ever again, and that's too bad because the first one was pretty good.

The movie opens up with robotic Sentinels hunting and killing mutants. A war is on and the mutants are being decimated. Wolverine is sent back in time to try to stop the program that allowed the development of the Sentinels, whci was spear headed by Dr. Bolivar Trask.
<br><br>
When Logan gets back to the past he must convince the young Charles Xavier of what must be done. Charles doesn't have his powers because he is taking a serum that allows him to walk, but hinders his other abilities. Charles is distraught because Mystique has left him as she begins her vendetta against the humans. Her killing of Trask in an event that must be prevented.
<br><br>
The movie introduces new mutants including Peter/Quicksilver who had a great scene. Beast also had some good scenes but many of the X-Men like Rogue, Storm and Toad only have cameos. Jean Grey does appear at the end in the now new alternative future.
<br><br>
Mystique, was as usual, really good and is emerging as the star of the series. She is a thinking woman who is not one to be led around by the men. She thinks for herself, and will do what she thinks is the right thing for mutants.
<br><br>
The movie was really good, but it did make the X-Men story line pretty fuzzy. We now don't know what events in the past may or may not have occurred because everything is now changed. And if they can change it once why not do it again?

The movie was directed by two directors which was probably appropriate since it took on two major stories. One was the personal story of Steve Rogers persoanl relationship with the former Soviet agent known as the Winter Soldier. The other story was about the takeover of Shield and the world by the agents of Hydra.
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16pt; text-indent: 10pt;">
The movie put a great deal of focus on the Black Widow as she continues to emerge as a major character. The success of her character probably has a lot to do with the talents of Scarlett Johansson, who is just so good. A new character, the Falcon (Anthony Mackie) was also introduced, and he was also really good.
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16pt; text-indent: 10pt;">
There was an interesting plot with a plea by Hydra, through its spokesman Alexander Pierce (Robert Redford) that they could make the world a great place for 7 billion people if they are allowed to wipe out a couple million who would cause trouble. A popular theme in many science fiction movies - give up your freedom and we can provide you with a better life - is looked at in this intelligent superhero movie.
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16pt; text-indent: 10pt;">
The movie was a little long, and it did leave off with a lead in to the next movie in the series. As the movie ended Captain America made plans to go after the Winter Soldier.
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16pt; text-indent: 10pt;">
Overall, a very good movie.

The warriors of Asgard had stopped a race known as the Dark Elves, who were trying to use a weapon known as the Aether to make the whole universe dark, thousands of years ago. The dark Elves leader, Malekith, escaped but waits his chance.
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16pt; text-indent: 10pt;">Back to the present, Odin sentences Loki to confinement for what he has done. Thor cleans things up and brings peace to the nine realms. Odin wants Thor to rule as king.
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16pt; text-indent: 10pt;">
Back on earth Jane finds another anomaly in the sky. When she investigates she gets sucked in to a worm hole. Heimdall tells Thor what has happened to Jane and against Odin's wishes he goes after her. When Thor gets to earth Jane is back, but is filled with energy, and Thor brings her back to Asgard. Jane has somehow gotten the Aether in her body.
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16pt; text-indent: 10pt;">
Malekith and his men to attack Asgard, looking for the Aether, and defeat the Asgard forces, and kill Thor's mother. But they do not capture Jane and the Aether. Thor enlists Loki's aid in the upcoming battle to help revenge his mother.
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16pt; text-indent: 10pt;">As to be expected, Loki betrays Thor but then in a twist helps him and it looks like he gets killed for his efforts.
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16pt; text-indent: 10pt;">
The story is kind of contrived and convoluted for the second time in a row. The world is going to end, and we don't really know why, but Thor must save the day. The first movie had the advantage of introducing the interesting characters, and this one just had a plot that even the physicist couldn't explan very well.
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16pt; text-indent: 10pt;">The movie ends with Thor asking out of being king, and Loki, who we thought was dead, being on the throne, disguising himself as Odin.

Takashi Miike, who directed the <i> 13 Assassins, Audition, and Hara-Kiri: Death of a Samurai</i>, directs this movie about a 3rd grade teacher, Shinichi Ichikawa, who watches a Power Ranger like hero from an old TV to get away from his woeful daily existence. His son is picked on at the school they both are at because the students don't like his father. His daughter ignores him and goes out with older guys. His wife is cheating on him.
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16pt; text-indent: 10pt;">
At night Shinichi dresses up in his Zebraman superhero outfit, and practices his moves. During the day he isn't really too interested in his classes. When a student in a wheelchair, Shinpei, enters his classroom Shinichi finds out that he too loves the Zebraman character from the old TV show. Shinichi starts working with Shinpei and they talk about Zebraman.
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16pt; text-indent: 10pt;">
Before you know it Zebraman is battling some Crab man villain. The next thing you know the Zebraman has super powers. Zebra kicks to the face are soon bringing down green blooded villains.
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16pt; text-indent: 10pt;">
Shinichi begins to have designs on Shinpei's mother. Shinichi. He also daves some young girls from bullies. Then we see that the government is trying to cover up the alien invasion.
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16pt; text-indent: 10pt;"> Next we see a group of kids going crazy. We find out the kids, including Shinichi's son, have been taken over by aliens. Aliens are beginning to pop up everywhere.
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16pt; text-indent: 10pt;">
Shinichi then finds some Zebraman TV scripts and the ones that were never on TV are happening in real life. Shinichi finds out that the vice=principal was the screenwriter of the scripts. He was trying to warn everyone about the alien invasion, but the scripts weren't published.
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16pt; text-indent: 10pt;">
Zebraman goes out and tries to stop the invasion. The last episode has the aliens winning, because Zebraman can't fly so Shinichi begins tryng to fly. The army is going to drop a nuetron bomb on the town.
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16pt; text-indent: 10pt;">
Zebraman goes to the school gym and is soon battling hundreds of aliens. A giant alien knocks him to the ground. When he gets up he is np longer a spof, but is the real Zebraman. He destroys the giant alien. When the time comes he can fly. He has been transformed because he believes.
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16pt; text-indent: 10pt;">
Quirky, spoofy and comedic, the movie is dubbed in English which adds to the comedic tone. The The movie went on a little too long for me, but might be more entertaining for younger audiences.

Written, directed and starring Jason Trost, this movie was originally released as VS. it is about a super-villian Rickshaw (James Remar) who takes away the powers of disarms the superpowers of Cutthroat, The Wall, Charge, and Shadow. he then tells them if they don't play the game by his rules he will kill everyone in the city.
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16pt; text-indent: 10pt;">
The superheroes start going about performing their assigned tasks. If they don't win the game everyone in the town will die. All the superheroes have injections that have taken away their power, except for Charge. Rickshaw is forcing the heroes to work as a team again.
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16pt; text-indent: 10pt;">
First task, defeat a cage fighter in 90 seconds free some people and defuse a bomb. In round one they can't sav some civilians but they do save themselves.
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16pt; text-indent: 10pt;">
In round two they must shoot themselves and then an innocent civilian will go free, Charge takes the gun and shoots all the civilians. He takes the guilt away from his partners.
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16pt; text-indent: 10pt;">
In round three Cutthroat is presented with the option of killing one of his fellow heroes, or his sister dies. Cutthroat was going ti kill Charge, but Charge stops him and Cutthroat gets killed in the struggle, Only two superheroes left, Shadow and Charge.
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16pt; text-indent: 10pt;">
In round three one of them must die in thirty seconds or everything blows up. Charge has Shadow shoot him, and he goes down. Somehow, being a superhero, he gets back up and shoots Rickshaw. Now he has to save the town from blowing up
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16pt; text-indent: 10pt;"> Very dark for a superhero movie combined with a cheap look and feel. A very low 3.7 rating on IMDB, but it was much better than that.

The Wolverine drags himself from woods to kill some guy who killed a grizzlry bear friend of his. A Japanese martial arts girl helps him out in a bar fight and then brings him back to meet an old friend from the war.
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16pt; text-indent: 10pt;">
The plot is kind of ludicrous as Wolverine loses his healing powers because there is some kind of spider on his hearts but he still manages to kill a couple of dozen guys.
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16pt; text-indent: 10pt;">
Wolverine's friend ends up not being his friend, but wants to steal his healing powers. Wolverine fights with this Viper character who really never fit in the movie. Wolverine's friend then gets in a big robot suit and fights it out with Wolverine. In the end his own daughter ends up killing him.
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16pt; text-indent: 10pt;">
According to director James Mangold, this film is influenced by the Japanese samurai films 13 Assassins and Hiroshi Inagaki's Musashi Miyamoto Samurai trilogy; the Westerns Shane and The Outlaw Josey Wales; the crime films The French Connection and Chinatown; and the dramas Black Narcissus, Floating Weeds, Chungking Express and Happy Together. There is a difference though, all of those movies had good plots.
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16pt; text-indent: 10pt;">
Overall i was disappointed. I don't think Wolverine can carry a movie by himself. There is only so much dicing up you can take.

There were many things I thought were good about the movie but there were some things I didn't like as well. I liked that the movie tried to fill in some background information about what was going on back on Krypton. The scenes were beautifully filmed. But the story line up there didn't make too much sense. Why wouldn't Jor-El and his wife try to escape? Jor-El's wife would send the baby off with out her because they were part of what was wrong with Krypton? I don't think so.
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16pt; text-indent: 10pt;">
I also wasn't wild about the deceased Jor-El coming back and helping his son and Lois out. A civilization that could do something so high tech like that would have no trouble fleeing their planet particularly since thousands had left before then. I also wished the characters on Krypton had spoken something other than English.
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16pt; text-indent: 10pt;">
I did like the use of flashbacks showing Clark growing up. I think the movie did a pretty good job of showing Clark growing in to the man he was to become but i think there could have been even more character development.
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16pt; text-indent: 10pt;">
The fight scenes used too much CGI for me. They also just seemed to go on and on. the whole sub-plot of Clark's body holding the DNA code for Krypton was a little too far out there too.
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16pt; text-indent: 10pt;">
Overall, a good effort but i thought the movie could have been better.
