Didn't Disappoint!


Title: Captain America: The Winter Solider (2014)

Rating:****

Director: Anthony Russo, Joe Russo

Genre: Action

Review:
As soon as I'd seen the first Captain America I couldn't wait for them to bring out another and once I'd seen The Avengers I couldn't wait even more and although I'd been waiting ages to see this film it didn't disappoint. If you love a good superhero film and haven't seen a good one in a while this is what you're looking for. I wasn't expecting what this film gave at all the twist was completely unpredictable and had you on the edge of your seat the whole way through. As usual the graphics of this marvel film were yet again amazing they just seem to get better and better and the dialogue had the best balance between serious but also used the witty comical lines at the best times that just made them funnier. The film also had it's sad parts in there that might make you well up a little. Overall if you are looking for a good film to see this is the film you need to see it won't disappoint and even if you haven't seen the first one it will still be understandable and fantastic! As usual marvel give you a teaser for their next and also all new superhero film that leaves you feeling intrigued.

Under My Skin


Title: Under The Skin (2014)

Rating: *

Director: Jonathan Glazer

Genre: Drama/ Sci-Fi

Review:
Under the Skin if I'm completely honest was probably the the biggest waste of time and most terrible film that I've ever seen. I had read the book before I saw the film so I did kind of know what I was letting myself into, when I read the book I didn't always understand what was going on so I thought it'd be interesting to see the film and because Scarlett Johansson was in it I thought it'd be quite good because I like most of the films she's been in. However now I'm thinking what was she thinking when she signed up to this film, maybe she just wanted to try something different to her usual style. Although I can't deny her performance was good as always and she did play the strange role quite well, I dread to think what the film would of been like without her. However after researching upon the film after I'd seen it, it did become more interesting, I found out that most of scenes when on the streets in Scotland were filmed without the people knowing even some of the people Scarlett stopped to ask for directions from the van she was driving. But I don't think a film should only be interesting once you've researched it, it should intrigue you from the actually film and picture from the very start to the very finish. Overall I really don't  know how to explain this film and the only reason I'd advise someone to see this film is if I wanted them to know what a truly bad film really is or if I didn't like them very much.
