3 Days to Kill - 6/10
Costner proves what a good actor he is!

Watched 1- Life on the Limit really enjoyed it, I'd seen a few similar documentaries about similar subject matter but it was still enjoyable, they had a fair few people to be interviewed also.
If I had a gripe it would be that they tended to focus on a few drivers and only very briefly mention others, it'd have been nice for them to spend time on a lot more drivers but I guess they would have struggled to get it to film length then, but a series or mini series would've been great

X-Men: DFP
I feel like Marvel studios need to get this license back as there are so many X-Men they can add or change but they keep relying on the same ones. Case in point is Quicksilver, has the best scene in the whole movie and could have been a great addition its just a shame he inst in it much due to the conflict with him being in the next Avengers. Overall it was good but could have been so much better.

Have you seen Mr Brooks? If not give it a watch, Costner at his best.

Jolies fantastic in this film, she really plays the part well, fun little film to watch, really enjoyed it.
X-Men: Days of Future Past 6 out of 10
It was by no means a bad film yet there was just something very safe about the film it just felt like it was going nowhere new, luckily the actors were good to watch and made the film worth while, still prefer first class.

Mine too, they dont make them like the 80s hits
I wish the new robocop was rated 18, its nowhere near good as the original.
but i did like the black suite.
Ive not like any since the first one in 2002
I was ok but 3 made a mess of it, it was like X-Men 3 good, ok till the 3rd one came out.
I think the best superhero movies have been the Christopher Nolan batman series
Saw the new Xmen at the cinema the other night. Really good. Loved the opening with the Sentinal fight especially. Was interesting that you could spot the stock footage (planes taking off at airports etc) this was all pre-4k so the image quality was a lot worse than the main film. (I'm not talking about the newsreel footage btw!)
The future timeline stuff was all very Matrix too.
A solid 8/10
Also watched Olympus Has Fallen on Netflix last night. It was alright but oh-so-predictable.
Fairly zzz6/10

Edge of Tomorrow
Perfectly timed humour, amazing to look at (not just the special effects
) and isn't padded out with loads of filler.
Most of all I liked it because it didn't let me down, I got what I was expecting from it. Most movies I've got hyped up for over the past year have been somewhat lacking, Elysium springs instantly to mind. Says a lot more about just how well they are marketed over the actual quality of the movies.
Oh, and Tom Cruise doesn't do bad movies.

Pacific Rim.
6/10.
Big, loud and brash, but entertaining nonetheless!

We went to watch X-,em days of future past this morning.
Only about 12 people in the cinema* (best viewing I've been to in a decade!), so no noise/distraction and unlike every showing I've been to at the Xcape the speakers didn't buzz, distort or cut out - it was almost as if someone had checked the sound system recently (for a modern, recently built cinema the xscape seems to have real problems with it's sound system, almost every time I've been over the last 5+ years there has been a sound issue, ranging from annoying buzz/distortion on the bass, to front/centre speaker not working at all for the first 20 minutes).
But enough of the cinema, the film itself was pretty great as a superhero movie, no unnecessary back story, some great effects, an interesting and reasonably well thought out story, and all the mutants you could want
As well as the main story (a variant on the Sentinal story lines), you learned more of the prof, magneto and so on without it being a long backstory.
For someone who likes the comic books (although I'm not a massive fan of them), it was really good
I may actually go back and watch First class, which I gave a miss after the rubbish that was X-men 3.
And the clip at after the credits (for which my group where the only ones to stay for), looked good and had my brother in law practically jumping up and down giggling in excitement
*The Point in MK, which seems to have improved over the last few years (but more importantly, easy access with little walking).
