My top 5 super villain portrayals

Like my last entry I'm going by the actors who did roles for super villains in comic book movies.
5. Tom Hardy, Bane: It's kind of hard to explain why I like this performance. I just do. Maybe because of Bane's sarcasm, the fight scenes or his plot.
4.  Heath Ledger, Joker: Yeah the most iconic DC villain role is also of my favourite. The role that won Heath Ledger an Oscar, this Batman villain is absolutely crazy. Everyone's praised this performance and said it's the performance of a life time.
3. Josh Brolin, Thanos: Even though we haven't seen him do anything yet, just seeing him is awesome. I can't wait to see him in the next Avenger movies. When we see him in Age of Ultron, we just see him getting his Infinity Gauntlet and saying "Fine, I'll do this myself." That means we're finally going to see him do something.
2. Willem Dafoe, Green Goblin: When I was younger this was my favourite Spider-Man villain. I just felt he was fun to watch. The costume I thought was cool looking. I also thought the fight between him and Spider-Man at the end was cool. It not easy to explain this one either. I just thought he was just fun to watch.
And my number 1 favourite super villain portrayal is... Tom Hiddleston, Loki: Yes, Tom Hiddleston as Loki is my favourite super villain portrayal. Why? Because of his comedy, charisma, powers, plots, elegance, grace and deviousness. My brother and me both agree that this one of the best villain performances ever. And that's all why Tom Hiddleston as Loki is my favourite super villain portrayal.

My top 5 superhero portrayals

These are the actors who played comic book heroes that I found to be perfect and the one who make me say "that's the hero I've always looked up to."
5. Hugh Jackman, Wolverine: Yeah as I said before I like most of the X-Men movies and I might review them later. However one of favourite things about them is Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. The way he plays him makes him awesome. Also he's awesome with his Adamantium claws. I'd say I like him the most in X-Men 2 or Days of Future Past.
4. Patrick Stewart, Professor X: While I've said Hugh Jackman is a great X-Men member, the one who seems to be the best in my opinion is Patrick Stewart as Professor Charles Xavier. What I like about him is the way he looks, his performance, his kindness, his class and his elegance. I think I liked him the most in the first X-Men movie.
3. Christian Bale, Batman: I know Watchmojo and Nostalgia Critic put Michel Keaton as the best Batman but for me the best Batman is Christian Bale. The reason he's my favourite is because of the voice, the costume and him in the fight scenes. But I also like him for his role as Bruce himself as well. And I don't understand why everyone makes fun of the voice, it's pretty quotable.
2. Andrew Garfield, Spider-Man: Yeah, my favourite superhero of all time is also played by the perfect actor and is hilarious, heroic and entertaining. In comparing his suit to Tobey Maguire's, it's hard to decide. However I also liked him in the action scenes.
And my number 1 favourite superhero portrayal is... Robert Downey Jr., Iron Man: Everyone's said it and so am I. Robert Downey Jr. plays probably the biggest superhero douchebag in the history of cinema. When people saw the Iron Man movies they were thinking 2 things, they wanted those suits and they loved Robert's performance. And it is my pick for the greatest superhero portrayal I've ever seen on screen.

Star Wars Episode I The Phantom Menace

Yeah I decided to review the Star Wars movies. And I'm looking forward to seeing the new one this December, the Force Awakens. This is said to be the worst Star Wars movie and one of the worst sequels ever said by Watchmojo and Nostalgia Critic saying there's a bad story and not well written characters. And I kinda agree, but I really like this movie. I feel the same as Uncommon reviews SBF when he said I kinda like this movie in his top 14 Pixar movies list. What's the story? Qui-Gon Jinn played by Liam Neeson and Obi-Wan Kenobi played by Ewan McGregor are both Jedi who are after an alien named Viceroy Gunray to stop him from launching his attack on a planet because their plan is to find a queen and make her sign a treaty that will say they're allowed to launch an even bigger attack. They fail to get to him and then decide to get to a ship and get to a planet. When they get there Qui-Gon meets a creature named Jar-Jar Binks, who's considered one of the most annoying characters ever. He leads them to an underwater city. They then go to the surface ad help the queen and other people escape. They try to fly away but they're attack in space in the ship they're using. R2-D2 manages to fix the damaged shield and they land n a planet called Tatooine. There they meet a boy named Anakin Skywalker. While all this is happening two evil Sith lords, Darth Sidious and Darth Maul are plotting to get them, kill them and take the queen. And the rest is way to long for me to say. So let's go over the problems. One thing is the story is really complicated and the characters could of been written a little better. And another problem is that Darth Maul was awesome so I wanted to see more of him. So now I'm gong tell you the things I do like. While most of the acting is bland and kind of stiff I still do think some of the actors do do good performances like Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan or Liam Neeson as Qui-Gon, there's just something about his performance that makes Qui-Gon seem very wise. But also, I liked the fight scenes, my favourite being Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan vs. Darth Maul.
So yeah, I still think, despite it's problems I still like this movie. Even the people who don't still say there's at least some good things about it. It has some of good fighting, acting and nice looking planets, I think it's good enough to been seen once.

Back to the Future

This is a movie I only first watched 3 days ago. I guess I just wanted to give you all my opinion on it. One of my favourite YouTubers "Skyward Wing," who also likes Kingdom Hearts, said this is one of his favourite movies of all time, and to be honest, I agree. I've only first seen it 2 days ago I can say that it's definitely one of my favourites too. It was actually done by the same people who made "Who Framed Roger Rabbit." What's the story? Michael J. Fox is "Marty," a 17 year old boy from 1985, who's friends with a man named "Dr. Brown" played by "Christopher Lloyd" who's a scientist who has recently invented a time machine out of a car. That night Dr. Brown gets shot and Marty, while trying to use the car to get away from them he accidently travels to the year 1955. There he meets the younger versions of his parents and accidently prevents them from meeting for the first time which begins to make his siblings and himself be erased from existence. He goes to meet the younger Dr. Brown and explains that he's from the future. They then figure out a way to get him back but first Marty needs to get his dad and mom to go to a dance together, but there's a problem... his mom has a crush on him instead of his actual dad, that's beyond disturbing. So now he has to get them together while also helping Dr. Brown with the time machine. So what' good about this movie? Well one thing I like is the way the story is told. And the cast is pretty good. Michael J. Fox is great as Marty but the one that I feel to be the most fun is Christopher Lloyd as Dr. Brown. He's my favourite character. Just the delivery of his lines and physical performance just makes him unbelievably funny. But I also like a lot things as well. Like the fact that even though it was made in 1985, it still looks good. And get this, it won an Oscar. Also, Robert Zemeckis' direction is great. So yeah, I think this movie is really, really great. It's really funny, really fun and really enjoyable. I'd say looking at it.

My top 5 film and game studios

You might already know what my number 1 is going to be but if you don't you'll find out here. And it was a little hard to decide which studios would be in this list but I eventually managed to put them in. Also I'm going with video game studios as well.
5. Marvel studios: The Marvel studio I'm talking about is the one that made the Avengers Trilogy I've been talking about before. And for all you know the Avengers are some of my favourite movies ever and my favourite superhero movie ever because of the action, characters, story, comedy and Stan Lee cameos, who doesn't love those? As I've said before my favourites are the 2 Avenger movies. The next two Avenger movie, Infinity Wars part 1 & 2 are the superhero films I'm most excited to see. And I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who thinks that. Even WatchMojo put it as one of the most hyped up Marvel movies ever.
4. Warner Bros.: The films that Warner Bros. studio have made are the Harry Potter, The Hobbit, Looney Tunes and Scooby Doo cartoons, the Scooby-Doo live action movies and the original Batman movies. And as you know my favourite is Harry Potter as they're the my some of my favourite movies ever. And they're also my favourite Live Action movies. But it's also because of the cartoons they make are funny as well, but most the movies are my favourite that they do.
3. Disney: Yeah everyone loves Disney and I especially love Disney because of the 53 animated classics. As I've said before I'm trying collect them all. Right now I have 32 of them. And I'm really excited to get the rest. Ever since Wreck-It Ralph I've been seen them all in cinema. The next classic is said to be called Zootopia... or at least that's what I read on Wikipedia.
2. Pixar: Yeah, this is my favourite movie studio of all time. It has some of the most timeless classics of all time like Toy Story, Finding Nemo, UP and a couple others. I've seen a bunch of YouTube videos counting the best Pixar movies or best animated movies or animated sequels. And I love watching them. The next Pixar movie is coming out this year called the Good Dinosaur. That's kind of weird. Having 2 Pixar films come out the same year. Like with what I said about Wreck-It Ralph, I've been seeing every Pixar movie in cinemas since Wall.E.
And my number 1 favourite studio of all time is... Square Enix: Yeah. The studio that makes Kingdom Hearts. As you've probably guessed Kingdom Hearts is most likely my favourite thing of all time. Yeah I know that sounds weird, but I can't help it, it's literally taught so many things about life like positivity, never giving up, do anything to do the right thing and the most important, friendship. Sora's my favourite character. And is my favourite character of all time, if you know what I mean. To be honest I kind of prefer the series when it's serious. And while, when is trying to be funny, it is funny, but I think when it's serious, it's better. Hopefully Kingdom Hearts 3 will be serious. And that's why Square Enix is my favourite studio of all time.
