It's summer and therefore it must be time for a superhero movie, and luckily for me is also available in 2D.
I liked this film, it was loud and implausible everything a superhero movie should be. I am not that familer with The Green Lantern, in fact everything I know about him comes from watching episodes of The Big Bang Theroy so had nothing to compare it to, which may be why I enjoyed it and lets face it watching Ryan Reynolds in a tight fitting suit for a couple of hours.................

Senna - 12/6/11
Not being a great F1 fan I was a little dubious about wheter I would enjoy this, but it was a rainy Sunday and I had heard some good reviews so thought I would give it ago.
I am so glad I did, this was one of the best films I have seen this year. I think what works is that it is all old footage and even when people are being interviewed you don't see them as they are now, you see the younger versions of them which makes it even more powerful.
I struggled not to sob at the end and for the first time in a long time the majority of the cinema all remained in their seats until the credits had finished and the lights came up - then we all filed out in a very subduded manner.
Cannot recommend this film enough.

X Men First Class - 05/06/11
Disappointing, I like a good superhero movie but in parts of this one I was at times bored. The film drags in parts and I think due to boredom little things that usually wouldn't bother you really start to get irritating, the "i'm reading someones mind, so I better frown and hold two fingers to my temple" acting from James McAvoy, and Micheal Fassbenders incredible changing accent for example.
This film was ok, but way too long in parts and as for the Wolverine cameo, you could see it coming for ages plus IMO the timelines didn't add up which added to my irritation.

Thor - 27/4/11
I liked this, it did not pretend to be anything more than what it was. I really liked Sir Anthony Hopkins over the top performance, the only character I didn't think too much of was the Natalie Portman character, but that may be due to the fact I have not forgiven her for the dreadful Black Swan yet!
It was camp, it was loud, it had implausible dialouge, everything a superhero movie is meant to be.
