TMNT: Out of the Shadows? Just stay there

I'd just like to start off by saying that the only reason that I watched this film was because of Stephen Amell, I'm an Arrow fan and he is Casey Jones, I watched the first one and thought it was complete trash. I hoped this would be better but what can you expect from Spielberg besides 'splosions.

The open sequence to the film was pretty decent and it got my hopes up, it was all action packed turtle parkour with a side of pizza and them blam! they're only going to see the NY Knicks... don't think this is me saying its bad, I loved that, I was giggling to myself thinking that the film was going to open with them fighting crime, I was pleasantly surprised. Also when Mickey drops the slice on the court and DJ slips that was probably the best part of the film... I would also suggest skipping over the whole Megan Fox goes Mission Impossible bit because that is just pure bullshit.

As for the rest of the film, it's the usual Michael Bay crap with plenty of destruction, especially when Krang shows up but we'll get to that later because I've got something good to say about this film! If you watched the last TMNT film you'll know that it was about 40% turtles and 60% other people who aren't mutant turtles and that was just silly, I mean who goes to the cinema to watch a film about teenage mutant ninja turtles and wants to see very little of them? Not me. The thing about this film is that it actually has more screen time for the ones that the film is about, yes the turtles, yes it should be Stephen Amell but it isn't so just be happy with the turtles okay? Good. 

So yeah the film is good, kind of, up until... right now. Krang comes along and wants to bring this huge war machine with him (it's also called something ridiculous) but because it's so big it has to come piece by piece, and guess what... it destroys all the buildings in its way and its not even being put together yet. Obviously the turtles can't be having Krang destroying New York, I mean what if they destroy the Knicks stadium Basketball will never be the same. The turtles must defend New York and they go up there and fight through their issues as a team, beat Krang as a team and then live happily ever after... in the sewers and not in the partially destroyed city that lays above them. 

To be really honest this film is worth a watch, even of it's just to decide you hate it because it does have its good points.

Can Wolverine and Quick Silver make a baby?... please?

I'm back at it with the blogging, so let me start with this film here X-men Apocalypse, firstly I did enjoy this film there wasn't a point during it where I just wanted to leave, but I did feel it dragged at points. Secondly I should point out that I had only 2 favorite scenes from the film which I'll talk about later so be warned there will be spoilers.

Right so the film itself was good, I enjoyed it all the way through (despite my terrible mistake to not go to the toilet before the film started) there was also quite a few points in the film that made me laugh which is more than most films do, I'm usually pretty neutral through out films. It was pretty nice to see the young interpretations of more of the X-men rather than just the odd few, Also nice touch throwing Jubilee in there, yeah I noticed her. To go with that praise of it was nice to see the young X-men what the hell did they do to Night-crawlers character!? I'm not saying I didn't like it or that it was a bad thing its just seems weird to have an emo mutant.

My first favorite scene was the one that already been seen many times and talked about even more, yes its the Quick Silver scene, that scene made the film feel so much better than it should have been, I was getting to a point of 'okay young X-men, cool, can we have some action now' and then Quick Silver appeared and with that cheesy music too. The best thing about that scene is that even though he ran around and saved all the students in the best ways possible, it was the sudden realization that he had done all that in a couple of seconds, and also he completely missed Alex Summers who got roasted, I'm gonna be honest I forgot about him too so Quick Silver can be forgiven.

The Second scene that I liked was the scene with Wolverine, it wasn't all the savage massacring that he does on his way out of the facility, well it was a little bit, but it was more the end of that scene where Jean reached into his memories and gave him some of them back, which explains why in the original X-men movies Logan is so attached to Jean since he probably remembers her.

Finishing up here I'd just like to say that X-men Apocalypse is a good film and if you feel like heading to the cinema than I recommend seeing it, but its not that good of a film for you to stop reading and head to see it now.
