Review: 
Tim Miller's 2016 Deadpool changed the comic book movie genre forever. Deadpool is no outright goody two-shoes superhero - he's no Captain America. He's sexy, sassy and sarcastic. 

 The movie embraces the fact that the original comic book Deadpool is an insanely violent character but is humorous at the same time. From his fourth wall breaks and his comic pop culture asides to his extremely messy way of getting things done, Deadpool makes for an unlikely likeable character. 

 Ryan Reynolds had been trying to play a proper Deadpool ever since the studio messed up Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine and he is perfect in the role. He plays the funny side of Deadpool brilliantly, the violent side brilliantly and the emotional side brilliantly. His portrayal made me like Ryan Reynolds as an actor after only really knowing him for being in bad comic book movies like: Blade: Trinity, Green Lantern and the previously mentioned X-Men Origins: Wolverine.  

 The main villain in Deadpool is quite boring and not very original. A scientist who is actually an evil villain has been done to death and in my opinion much better in X-Men 2, Batman Begins and Spider-Man. And really, not another British villain.

 So believe the hype. Roll on Deadpool 2. Chicka-chickahhhh [Post credit scene].

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

UK Release Date: 12 December 2018  Certification: PG  Director: Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, Rodney Rothman  Cast: Nicolas Cage, Kimiko Glenn, Jake Johnson, Zoe Kravitz, Shameik Moore, John Mulaney, Chris Pine, Liev Schreiber, Hailee Steinfeld  Rating:   94 % I'm also a huge fan of Spider-Man on the PS4. Review: One of the greatest strengths of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse is the animation. The style means the movie is the closest thing to a comic book. All the Spider people have different animation styles - Spider-Ham looks like something from Looney Tunes, Peni Parker looks like Anime, Spider-Noir is black and white and Miles looks like he was lifted straight out of a Marvel comic. The only thing I didn't like about the animation was the way  Kingpin was portrayed - he was very wide. I don't mind the animators sticking to his comic book appearance, but really, he didn't have to be that huge! There have been a ...

Isle of Dogs

UK Release Date: 30 March 2018 Certification: PG Director: Wes Anderson Cast: Bob Balaban, Bryan Cranston, Greta Gerwig, Jeff Goldblum, Scarlett Johansson, Harvey Keitel, Bill Murray, Edward Norton, Koyu Rankin, Liev Schreiber, Tilda Swinton Rating: 65% Toby Dogge enjoyed Isle of Dogs too. Review: For an animated movie Isle of Dogs boasts an incredible cast, with acting legends like Jeff Goldblum and Bill Murray, to up and coming stars like Koyu Rankin and Greta Gerwig.  In Isle of Dogs , Wes Anderson relies upon a stop-motion animation technique that he first used in Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) to create a story that is both sombre and heart-warming at the same time. The movie is about a Japanese boy called Atari, who’s parents pass away in an accident. He goes to live with his uncle who is the mayor of the fictional city, Megasaki. The mayor banishes all dogs to Trash Island and the remainder of the movie tells of Atari's daring rescue mission to save his dog,...
