- DirectorChristopher NolanStarsChristian BaleMichael CaineKen WatanabeAfter witnessing his parents' death, Bruce learns the art of fighting to confront injustice. When he returns to Gotham as Batman, he must stop a secret society that intends to destroy the city.The re-imagining of a more believable Batman. Helped introduce me to my favourite DC comics character.
- DirectorChristopher NolanStarsChristian BaleHeath LedgerAaron EckhartWhen a menace known as the Joker wreaks havoc and chaos on the people of Gotham, Batman, James Gordon and Harvey Dent must work together to put an end to the madness.Took Nolan's Batman franchise to the next level. Gritty and thrilling.
- DirectorChristopher NolanStarsChristian BaleTom HardyAnne HathawayBane, an imposing terrorist, attacks Gotham City and disrupts its eight-year-long period of peace. This forces Bruce Wayne to come out of hiding and don the cape and cowl of Batman again.
- DirectorMichael BayStarsShia LaBeoufMegan FoxJosh DuhamelAn ancient struggle between two Cybertronian races, the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons, comes to Earth, with a clue to the ultimate power held by a teenager.Michael Bay's epic introduced me to one of my favourite franchises of all time. Great story (compared to the others) and brilliant soundtrack.
- DirectorMichael BayStarsShia LaBeoufMegan FoxJosh DuhamelSam Witwicky leaves the Autobots behind for a normal life. But when his mind is filled with cryptic symbols, the Decepticons target him and he is dragged back into the Transformers' war.A lot of action - and then some. Lacking on the story, slow in many parts but love the Autobot/Decepticon fight scenes.
- DirectorMichael BayStarsShia LaBeoufRosie Huntington-WhiteleyTyrese GibsonThe Autobots learn of a Cybertronian spacecraft hidden on the moon, and race against the Decepticons to reach it and to learn its secrets.The release of this film was met with a lot of hype. I was driving my friends mad with my constant excitement and anticipation for June 29th to come. Unfortunately for TF3, the hype was its downfall. The soundtrack was brilliant, the action scenes - particularly the highway chase and the final battle in Chicago - were epic in both scale and entertainment and the story was decent and involved unexpected plot twists. Unfortunately, the film was slow in the human scenes, some of the main Transformers were unanimously felt to have been underused, the final battle seemed too well contained and easy and, my biggest gripe, the ending was way too abrupt.
- DirectorJoss WhedonStarsRobert Downey Jr.Chris EvansScarlett JohanssonEarth's mightiest heroes must come together and learn to fight as a team if they are going to stop the mischievous Loki and his alien army from enslaving humanity.UK title "Avengers Assemble"/ Rest-Of-World "The Avengers". Just like "Transformers: Dark of the Moon", this film was eagerly anticipated by fans, such as myself. I could not wait for the film to be released on 26th April. Unlike "TF3" however, this film live up to the hype. It surpassed my expectations (and I expected a lot).
It didn't feel forced and certainly did not feel like a sequel to one particular lead-up film. It felt like a well-made sequel to ALL the films.
The final battle wasn't just an all-out brawl - it seemed integral to the story and characterisation of the film.
Every character had their "time to shine" and they were as you remember them from their "build-up" films - Tony Stark was cocky, witty and likeable, Steve Rodgers was patriotic, a "man-out-of-time" and focussed on the mission and Thor was a demi-god warrior.
Then there's the Hulk, played by Mark Ruffalo instead of Ed Norton this time around. This Hulk/Banner was perfect. Ruffalo brought a sense of humour to this famously angry character and really helped pull-off the Hulk where others have either tried and failed (Hulk 2003) or tried and only just failed (The Incredible Hulk 2008).
We also got a brief look at Black Widow (Scarlett Johanson)'s background and her relationship with Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner). Even next to their super-powered team-mates, these two proved their worth to be part of the team.
Tom Hiddleston as Loki was brilliant, Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury was what you'd expect from this actor, Clark Gregg was once again great as Phil Coulson and Cobie Smulders as Maria Hill was a good decision and while her performance was good I feel she was underused.
This film has and amazing soundtrack, brilliant actors, likeable characters (even Loki), great 3D effects, an enjoyable story and epic action.
