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.

Summer Movie Reviews : The Hangover Part II
ok.i know that the summer movie season has already started but i was a bit late on starting my blog. so i'll give a quick review of the first movies i saw so far.and then an extended review of "The Hangover" part 2.
Thor : better than i expected. great story line and shakespearean theme provided from Kenneth Branagh. great fun and decent acting.
Fast Five : definitely the most fun i had at the movies all year and the best one in the series. what it lacked in racing it made up in action and plot. Dwayne Johnson added some spark and all the actors have matured since the first one.
Pirates 4: big step up from the 3rd. Johnny Depp was amazing as always but Penelope was a poor substitute for Keira Knightley.
The Hangover Part 2 : i was a bit hesitant to watch this since i read all the negative reviews. i have one thing to say. CRITICS SUCK!!!once it began and it showed Phil on the phone saying they wouldn't make it back 4 the wedding i was in my comfort zone.the jokes were coming fast and furious . i was laughing so hard i had to gasp for air. consistently funny.Much darker tone (you'll see what i mean).raunchier and I've never seen Galifianakis so crazy.kudos to Todd Phillips and his fellow writers. Bangkok seemed like a much more appropriate setting than Vegas for this film and it was good to see Ken Jeong and Mike Tyson again.Paul Giamatti was a pleasant surprise.hope they make it into a trilogy.the jokes and theme maybe the same but they are still freakin hilarious.definitely worth a second viewing and an addition to my dvd collection.more than lived up to the original.The Wolfpack is back!!
