A message to DC comics

Hi! I'm delving back into the world of the internet today and finally writing another blog post! Sorry that I haven't really done much here recently, I wrote a blog post about Ryan Reynolds killing my dreams, but decided it was too ranty to actually put up, but now I have a bit of a weird thing, a message to, and about, DC. So, about 90% of the population prefer Marvel to DC, I much prefer DC personally, but I know for a fact that Marvel is generally considered better. Do you want to know why that is? Because Marvel have better movies. I think DC has the potential to be absolutely great, but Marvel is just plane nicer to the new fans, yeah, Marvel may not have as good stories or characters, but they're fun and friendly and well written. DC however, is the anti-hero of the two. DC sadly makes the movies dark and in small amounts, either giving us another terrible movie that isn't properly thought through like the Green Lantern or for some reason giving us another Batman or Superman movie, because we don't have enough of those already. What I think is, Marvel is focusing on the films entirely, almost neglecting their comic universe and spending a metric butt tonne of cash making the newest superhero film. DC have taken the cautious approach with only one movie every few years, and focusing on their comic books. This has really payed off, for us original nerds who actually read comics, but the new generation of only watching film superhero nerds just don't get anything from DC, meaning that their fanbase just hasn't grown like Marvel's has. Sure, every now and again someone actually bothers to read DC's comics and falls in love with them, but there just isn't enough of them. So overall, DC just doesn't get the good press and publicity needed, its slow start has meant it's going to be a struggle to ever catch up with the current popularity of Marvel. But I have hope, Marvel will give DC an ideal to strive towards. They will race behind Marvel, they will stumble, they will fall. But in time, they will join Marvel in the sun. In time, Marvel will help them accomplish wonders, and hopefully that comes in the form of a Flash movie. Until next time nerds,

Sam reviews: Guardians of the Galaxy

So, I'm back, hello the single person that noticed my absence, and welcome to my Guardians of the Galaxy review! Once again, this wont be as entertaining as when I get all angry like in the Origins Wolverine review, but hey, I feel the need to entertain the about two nerds who actually read this. So, first off, I really like the Guardians of the Galaxy just because they are so weird and obscure. I was slightly disappointed by the lack of Iron Man, Mantis or any of the other heroes that have joined over the years, but thought the cast of the team was still great (They have Rocket. That's all I care about.) So, that was a tiny bit disappointing, but as soon as I started to watch it, I no longer cared. The first scene really sets the tone for the movie and shows that it is basically just meant to be fun to watch. Guardians of the Galaxy is a great example of what more movies should be doing, recently there have been more and more movies taking themselves really seriously and that can sometimes go really well, (see X-Men: Days Of Future Past) but also colossally fail (see Thor: The Dark World) and GotG was just a breath of fresh air.  Some movies I really like I can understand how some wouldn't, but this film is genuinely amazing and I'm not sure that anyone could truly dislike it. So, I'm going to review the story a bit now so... yknow... SPOILER ALERT. So, the story is straight up and simple. The films starts with us watching our hero (Peter Quil) as a child, and gives us some information onto how he got off of earth. This is simple to understand and gives us a lot of information, which is good. We then see him as an adult, raiding what seems like an abandoned city for an infinity stone. This really sets the mood for the film, why? because its filled with dancing and mindless action. Now don't get me wrong, I think the story is good, but it isn't very complex. Once again, that isn't a bad thing and I liked it, but it made the film more fun over thinking which I am absolutely fine with. So, he dances for a bit, stuff blows up, its really awesome. Then, we go through a bit where all of the different guardians are introduced. Considering how different characters the are, this is really well done. I wont go into massive detail on the rest of the film because I'm starting to bore myself, but I can only say it was a really great movie. Chris Pratt was really good as Star-Lord and I cant wait for him appearing next to Iron Man, as I think that could be possibly the best addition to the avengers there could be. I mean, who wouldn't want to see Star Lord and Iron Man next to one another kicking butt? Wait, I haven't even mentioned the soundtrack yet. Oh. My. God. I would like to point out I bought it as soon as I got home after watching it (I like 80's music, don't ask why) But I think it was literally the best soundtrack I have ever heard and loved the inclusion of all of the 80's references and music. So, basically, see this movie. You have to. It now sits on the spot of favourite movie along with X-men DOFP, Marvel films just keep getting better. DC... well that's another story, but I'll save that for another blog post.
Until next time Nerds.

Sam reviews: X-men Days Of Future Past

Hi! I'm back! so, its been a while, and this is about my fifth attempt at writing this post. You may be asking, why has it been so hard to write this blog Sam? well random internet person, the answer is this. I am freaking in love with this movie. I just find it really hard to find faults in it and I know that reading someone pointing out the good bits in a movie is much less entertaining than pointing out the bad, but here we go anyway. As this movie is still relatively new, I will start with no spoilers and then put a big bold spoiler alert, if you have not seen this film already, I would not go beyond that point. Well, that is unless you don't care, in which case whatever! So, lets get started. This film takes place in two points of time, In the future, after the dark phoenix saga takes place, and in the past, eight years after the events of first class. The whole time travel concept can often be made confusing in movies, but in DOFP it made complete sense, so you really shouldn't find it difficult to understand. This movie is mainly based in the past, but you get enough time in the future to know about it and see some of your beloved characters from the original X-men trilogy such as Iceman and Colossus (Sorry rogue fans, she sits this one out) So yeah, the basis of the movie is really good. I will say that it is a tiny bit Wolverine heavy, but I guess I should expect that by now, as everyone in the world seems to freaking love him. I'm sorry, I dislike Wolverine because of his popularity and media coverage, but Its no where near as bad as Batman, so I will let it pass. So, here we are at the big bold SPOILER ALERT. So, hello people that decided to stay (No-one) So, first of all is how cool the sentinels are. I honestly thought this movie would not do them justice at all, but it really did. I liked just how over powered they are, and how three sentinels could practically wipe out the remaining X-men. I thought the entire time travel concept was done really well, and that only the mind going back in time was a good idea. I will however say that this film was not great at explaining things. We don't get to know how Professor X is somehow still alive, and we don't get to know how Magneto got his powers back, and also how Kitty can make people go back in time, but it really doesn't matter to me. I liked that Havok was in it, but was practically heart broken when Magneto revealed that Banshee was dead. (Banshee was my favourite in first class) I thought that the past Professor X had emotion, something that Patrick Stewart never actually did. Beast was really cool, as was Magneto, which finally leaves me with Mystique. Now, I have very mixed feelings about Mystique in this movie. I thought that it was very odd how heartless she had become in such a small space of time, but I also thought that she had a much better character than in the original trilogy. Then there was Quicksilver. Quicksilver in this movie was genuinely amazing. He had by far the best scene, and I really like people with superspeed. I would honestly watch a really bad movie if it had the kitchen scene in it, because it was funny, and really cool. This single character has made me dread the avengers 2, because I can tell I wont like it because it wont do Quicksilver justice. There was also that single phrase that instantly made all the nerds smile. Quicksilver said that his 'ma' once knew a guy that could control metal. Quicksilver is Magnetos son. Mind. Exploded. I really loved this film and think that everyone in the world should see it in the cinema at least nine times, because my god was it good. I hope you have enjoyed watching me slowly start craving another watch from X-men DOFP, I know that complimenting a film isn't exactly the most enjoyable thing, but I felt that I needed to write it. Well, my friend Grace just asked for a mention, so HHHIIIIII GRRRAAACCCCEEEE! well there you go.

Sam reviews: X-men Origins: Wolverine

Hey! That's right, I'm back, and I'm here to kill the spirits of all X-men Origins: Wolverine fans, lets get started, shall we? Now, if I get some stuff wrong, that's because I have only properly seen the film once, I have sat down and tried to watch this film several times, but only the first time I saw it did I manage to actually get through it. So, I sat down a couple of days ago and tried to watch it, as I am doing an X-men marathon before I go to see Days of future past on Monday (Days of future past review to come!). but yeah, I tried to watch it, but ended up skipping all wolverine heavy bits and only watched the bits with Gambit and the final battle scene. First of, almost every time I try to watch it, the long as heck start puts me off. The people that made this movie seriously overate how much we care about wolverines woodcutting days in Canada. So, after the stupid and boring bit that you are a god if you managed to sit through, there is the bit where Wolverine is implanted with the Adamantium. This bit was kinda cool, but after you have seen it once, the whole killing everyone thing gets a bit old. So, then there's the big helicopter chase, blah blah blah, no one cares, blah blah blah. Then, after an hour of absolute boredom and you reflecting on your life, Logan meets Gambit. I will just say right here that I am a huge Gambit fan, and I would love the parts he was in even if they were terrible, but actually, Gambit was no that bad. in fact, after having seen the terribleness that is the start of this movie, I would almost say that they made him the best part of the film. So yeah, they inevitably fight, then team up. I'm pretty sure something then happens, but I skipped it because yawn, and then they are at the power station thingy. So, the big finale of the film, and I would give it a 'meh'. So, Wolverine kills some stuff, frees the mutants (Including Cyclops and Emma Frost) and then he goes somewhere else. There he meets Deadpool. So yeah, who's freaking idea was it to cast Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool!? Well sir, you will rot in hell for all eternity. So, the incarnation of Deadpool (who's nickname is 'the merc with a mouth') without a mouth. I applaud you the idiots that decided this was a good idea. So yeah, they have a fight, people die, everything is destroyed BLAH BLAH BLAH. I honestly think this is one of the worst films I have ever seen, and I have seen a lot of bad films. I honestly wish this movie was never made, because it is so utterly stupid. I'm too angry at this STUPID FREAKING FILM to go on. I'm going ot go and throw my copy of this film out of a window, until next time,

Things that annoy me 2: Batman

Hi! I’m not dead! yeah, weekdays are too hard to write on, so I’m probably only going to be writing here on weekends from now on. Now that I have quickly said that, lets get on with the blog!
So, yes another things that annoy me, YAY! So, I’m going to be talking about something that will probably make no sense at all, but the thing that annoys me is Batman. If you don’t know who Batman is, get the hell out of my blog you sadistic anti-nerd. I’m feeling a bit weird today, so sorry if this turns out really weird. So, you may say ‘Sam, why does Batman annoy you?’ because of his fricking stupid amount of popularity, to literally quote the green lantern, ‘your not just some guy in a bat costume are you? ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?’ Batman is just some rich guy. I guess he is technically a ninja as well as a billionaire, but I still think that he just has a stupid amount of popularity. Take a look at iron man, basically the smarter, less annoying Bruce Wayne. Now lets be brutally honest, if the Batman films and comics were more realistic, Batman would no way be able to survive, he has no particular advantage other than his ninja training, but that cant help you dodge bullets can it? I would have no problem if he sunk down a bit and knew his place, like the green arrow, once again basically batman but rather than ninja-ness he has archery skill. If Batman were more that amount of popularity than one of the most famous superheroes of all time. In my view, the best thing about Batman is Nightwing, and it really says something when your favourite part about a superhero is that they introduced another superhero. One thing that does redeem the comic Batman is the detective part of him, the part that means he doesn’t entirely depend on other people or just sheer muscle to get him to the next part of the story, but in the dark knight series, he doesn’t even have that. Rant over, now you know why I dislike Batman.
ADIOS MIS AMIGOS!
