Blade


An amazing trilogy which i have to put down to David S. Goyer who is an amazing scriptwriter. The good guys (especially Blade and Hannibal) were portrayed brillantly as were the villains in all the films. The horror superhero combination works excellently.

Blade 4
I would like to see a fourth film but i doubt it will actually happen. If it does it probably won't include Wesley Snipes which would be a shame.

X-Men
I like the first film alot. Most portrayals seem pretty faithful to the comic characters. Sabretooth could have been so much better, like he was in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I think Ray Park's Toad was brilliant. Cyclops could have been used more rather than taking a back seat to Wolverine. But I really like the direction Bryan Singer chose for the film making it more about a fight against discrimination.

The second film is great two, especially Nightcrawler's fight sequence. I also think it develops the story really well but once again Scott is underused.

I like X-Men 3 however they should not have killed/depowered some of the characters that they did. Iceman rocks and should have had a much better fight scene with Pyro although it was still brilliant. A lot of characters weren't really developed but it was still a good film.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Wade Wilson rocked as did the rest of Team X, there were problems with it but oh well I really enjoyed it.

X4
I think they should make an X-Men 4 after the Origins where certain characters (*cough* Cyclops *cough*) are revealed to not be dead. Nightcrawler should make a return and the main X-Men should do more and show how their powers have developed (More Full ice Iceman!). Pyro should do more and perhaps get Blob and Quicksilver with the Brotherhood. As Blob is appearing in X-Men Origins it should be no problem.

X-Men: First Class
Ok so this obviously isn't the First Class from the comics, however I'm not ashamed to say I think it is a really good film, good cast and crew, a really enjoyable story and even though it is over 2 hours long you don't notice, its that gripping. I think all the abilities were shown really well and I thought the film was generally great!

Deadpool movie
Should be good but it depends what angle they take... follow up from Wolverine? or before Team X? either way should be good but I wanna see the costume.

Raimi series
I enjoy Raimi's Spider-Man series and would have loved to see his story finished. I wasn't particularly happy with each villain being portrayed as a sympathetic character but they're still great films. Peter was also quite whiney and Spidey wasn't witty but maybe we'll get some wit in the reboot.

The Amazing Spider-Man
I really like the idea of Andrew Garfield playing Spider-Man I think he'll be perfect. Emma Stone is a great choice for Gwen. All in all my opinion has been completely reversed and I like where Sony is taking this. I'm looking forward to it! I am really impressed with all the images and the trailer that was released, I think and hope it could be great.

Characters I would like to see in the rebooted series

 * Gwen Stacy - Love interest
 * Mary Jane Watson - Supporting character
 * Curt Connors/The Lizard - Villain
 * Black Cat - Love Interest
 * Rhino - Minor villain
 * Shocker - Minor villain

Elektra
Not the best film I have ever seen but i still thought it was alright, I think Jennifer Garner is an ok Elektra but there is a lot of room for improvement.

Daredevil 2
Come on it wasn't bad it was an amazing film! What is Ben Affleck on about "he will return if it is darker"? The first movie was pretty dark! If a sequel is made Michael Clarke Duncan should return, I liked Ben Afflek as Daredevil. Kingpin should then get another superpowered henchman (Bring on Mr. Fear!) as well and maybe get Bullseye his costume!

Hulk
It was an enjoyable film but not the best adaptation. I didn't like the Hulk dogs, the fact that they made Bruce's dad into a random villain that they made up instead of using one of Hulk's villains from the comics, Eric Bana's portrayal of Bruce was mediocre and Hulk wasn't particularly life-like looking. That aside there were good action sequences and I enjoyed Jennifer Connelly's portrayal of Betty.

The Punisher
I like the Punisher played by Tom Jane but where were the other characters? The Russian had hardly any part and well... died. It was a good movie though.

Punisher: War Zone
I thought it was a brilliant portrayal of the Punisher, Ray Stevenson did a brilliant job as for the villains (Jigsaw and Loony Bin Jim) they were brilliant! A sequel would be brilliant especially if Barracuda was the villain like Stevenson suggested.

Fantastic Four
Ok so they didn't show Galactus as he should appear - Mistake number 1.

They knocked Silver Surfer off his board - Mistake number 2.

But it wasn't terrible, I think they did a good job of portraying Marvel's first family.

Fantastic Four 3
It should happen! Bring in the Skrulls and/or Kree! Or any of their other enemies!

Ghost Rider
Graphically some pieces could have looked better and Blackheart... let's face it does not look like how he was portrayed. The Legion thing should have just been him in full demon form which is the only thing i didn't like about Blackheart. Eva Mendes' character or Roxanne Simpson seemed to me to only be there to act as a love interest which made her seem like an unnecessary character.

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance
The character has so many stories to be portrayed so why not? Nicolas Cage is up for it so it would work and keep with continuity. However if Eva Mendes doesn't want to return you just get rid of the character the way its left she could leave him or he could travel to somewhere different. There are also quite a few characters that have never been shown in live action but could get their chance. It is apparently happening so bring it on! I'm interested to actually see some stuff from this movie. The first images are intriguing, it looks a lot darker and grittier which is a good thing.

Favourite Characters:
=Marvel Cinematic Universe= My rankings of the MCU films:
 * 1) Captain America: The First Avenger
 * 2) The Incredible Hulk
 * 3) Iron Man
 * 4) Thor
 * 5) Iron Man 2

Iron Man
I think it was a brilliant way to introduce the character, the end battle was too short but was still really good.

Iron Man 2
I thought it was AWESOME and the way they're incorporated characters is amazing. Whiplash was awesome although the final battle would have been longer, loved Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow! Sam Rockwell's Justin Hammer was excellent as a rival to Tony!

Iron Man 3
It has to have the Mandarin doesn't it? What better way to conclude this awesome trilogy?

Characters and other things I would like to see

 * Another new Iron Man armor.
 * An updated War Machine armor.
 * Mandarin - Villain
 * Blizzard - Minor villain
 * Titanium Man - Minor villain

The Incredible Hulk
I really enjoy this take on the Hulk, Edward Norton is a brilliant Bruce Banner and the story that they told was perfect.

Sequel
If they make a sequel (which i hope they do) I think the Leader would be amazing to see on the big screen. And Doc Samson as well! You CANNOT set up characters like that and not make a sequel it would be amazing! I was rather disappointed by the annoucement that Edward Norton would be replaced. I hope this doesn't mean they'll recast the entire universe they already established because to be quite honest it would ruin continuity even more which would defeat the point of setting up the Marvel Cinematic Universe!

Thor
I think all the casting in this film was perfect and even though the Hawkeye cameo was very minor it was great! The designs of the armor, Asgard and the Frost Giants were brilliant and there are some great action sequences.

Thor 2
It's pretty likely that there will be a sequel after The Avengers. Personally I hope they bring in the Enchatress in it with another villain as her henchman.

Captain America: The First Avenger
Chris Evans completely won me over as Steve Rogers, I thought he played the part perfectly, as did the entire cast! Red Skull's look and Weaving's performance were both spot on and I see a lot of potential. There were flaws with the story and the CGI skinny Steve bothered me, but not to an extent that it ruined my enjoyment of the film.

Sequel/Spin-offs
A sequel would be great, I do feel it would have to be in modern day rather than trying to include it in between the beginning and end of the first film. Also maybe they could reveal that Bucky didn't die from his fall and do a Winter Soldier spin-off, with Sebastian Stan of course, who was excellent in the role!

Favourite Characters:
=Animated Films=

Ultimate Avengers
I really enjoy both of the Ultimate Avenger films. I'm not sure why they created the Chitauri instead of using the Skrulls and I don't think Giant Man needed to die, although there has to be some losses on both sides in a battle. I really hope they make an Ultimate Avengers 3 because they are really enjoyable films. If the live action Avengers is even half as good as either of these films it will be great!
