X-Men : First Class

i know that any1 who's wanted to watch this already has but i'll review it anyway.

X-Men : First Class is an origin story about Xavier and Magneto explaining how the X-Men came to be. this film is up there with The Dark Knight as the best super hero movies ever made and definitely the best in the franchise.James Mcavoy and Michael Fasspender are brilliant in their portrayals of Professor X and Magneto respectively.Fasspender especially was hauntingly brilliant.Mc Avoy was great to watch as always. The storyline kept me interested all the way through and the special effects were in a word breathtaking.Supporting cast did really well.the standouts were Nicholas Hoult(from "About A boy")portraying Hank Mccoy/The Beast(my all time favorite X-Man) and Kevin Bacon as the deliciously evil Sebastian Shaw. Aside from the brilliant acting by the 2 main characters, the 2 other reasons why this film was brilliant in every way was the direction of Matthew Vaughn (Kick-Ass) and the production team of Bryan Singer. go watch this movie as soon as you can since it deserves to be experienced on the big screen. hoping for a sequel soon. i give this an 11 out of 10

Kung Fu Panda 2

Kung Fu panda 2 takes place after the events of the first one.Po has mastered martial arts and is now part of the team of The Furious 5.this movie maybe a bit funnier but lacks the originality of part 1. It shows Po wanting to discover his roots and has many heartbreaking moments. the positives: Jack Black is back!! he just seems so comfortable with this role and is completely at ease. there is a lot more action and heart this time around.plus more jokes showing the actor's comedic talent. Gary Oldman as Shen seemed to enjoy himself. the negatives: focused too much on Anjelina Jolie's character.far too less screen time for Schifou who i thoroughly enjoyed in the first one.the villain in this one didn't really seem to convince me.

Overall it was an enjoyable feel good time at the movies.hope for a third one because of how it ended. give it a 8/10.worth watching at the cinema plus the 3D was cool.
