Guardians of the Galaxy
This is another Marvel hero movie series I hope will be the next 2 Avengers movies. And given the fact that they're both made by the same studio it's pretty obvious. What's the story? A boy named "Peter Quill" is kidnapped from Earth by a bunch of aliens and is raised to be a bouncer. One day when he's a man played by "Chris Pratt," he's told to get an object. A sort of sphere looking thing. He tries to leave but someone comes to stop him and tells him he's getting it for some guy called "Ronan the Accuser." But Peter escapes and gets it to the guy but he refuses because he's terrified of Ronan. Outside an alien girl named "Gamora" played by who tries to steal the sphere to keep it away from Ronan because he wants to give it to "Thanos." And a racoon named "Rocket" played by "Bradley Cooper" and a tree named "Groot" played by "Vin Diesel" also try to steal the sphere as well. Eventually they get arrested and at the prison they meet another alien named "Drax" played by "Dave Bautista." They all eventually become friends and escape. They try to find someone who could buy the sphere from them. When they find one person it fails so they try to get it in protection. So what's good about this film. Well in my opinion this probably one of the most funniest Marvel films made. And a lot of the effects and C.G.I is really impressive especially the final climax. And also a lot of the actor choices were really clever especially the main 5. A lot of the lines make us laugh hard and a lot. My favourite character is either Peter or Rocket or Drax. It also got a lot of likes on Rotten Tomatoes. I've seen it a few scene on some top 10 lists. I actually remember thinking that it was a little complicated when I first saw it. So to finish this is definitely a great comic book film and I would recommend checking it out.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier
This was actually a big hit when it came out. It got really good reviews and it got 89% on Rotten Tomatoes and I heard it actually changed a few things. What's the story? Fury shows Steve a new plan to make more Helicarriers to help make peace in the world but Steve disagree. The next day Fury is shot by someone called the "Winter Soldier." Fury goes to Steve's apartment, but then the Winter Soldier finds him and shoots him. Steve follows him but he gets away. The next day it looks like Fury actually dies and now one of his friends named "Alexander Pierce" is now head of S.H.I.E.L.D. but is also the main villain of the movie and is the one who assigned the Winter Soldier to assassinate Fury and his plan is to use the 3 Helicarriers to destroy all of New York. And the rest, I'm gonna let you watch because I found it to a pretty complicated story. Oh yeah and they also introduced "Sam Wilson" a.k.a "Falcon" who's actually my favourite new character. So what's good about this film? Well, for as complicated as the story is it's not enough that it destroys the film. And a lot of the action scenes are actually really impressive. And at the end of the middle of the film we see that the Winter Soldier is Steve's old best friend Bucky and we see that Fury isn't dead and actually it has one of the most intense Marvel climaxes you'll ever see. Even most of the scenes where it's mostly just characters talking is pretty well done, especially the scene where Steve and Romanoff went to some old camp and find the brain of a character from the last Captain America movie, "Dr. Zola" and he tells them about, I'm not entirely sure but mainly h was talking about what was happening after the second World War and about how he got there. So yeah, this film is still great, I just found it hard to follow a little of it. But it's still a good, good movie that you should definitely watch.

Thor: The Dark World
Like the other Thor review let's start with the story. What's the story? In the past Odin's father stopped an evil villain called "Malekith" play by "Christopher Eccleston" from getting his hands on a powerful material called the "Aether" to destroy the 9 realms. They captured the Aether and hid it away. Years later when Jane, Darcy and a new friend of theirs to see something, Jane finds the Aether and it goes inside her body and is destroying her from the inside. Thor then arrives and takes her to Asgard where Odin explains what it is and what it's doing. After that Malekith arrives to get the Aether but is stopped but in the process he kills Thor's mother. And decides to take Jane and Loki away to help destroy the Aether. While on a new planet they try it but Malekith gets the Aether and even Loki is killed, kind of. And what follows is probably one of the coolest, intense and funniest Marvel climaxes ever. So what's good about this movie? Well I'd have to say one of my favourite parts is Malekith, who's actually a really cool villain and Christopher Eccleston actually does do a pretty cool performance and a very threatening one. Another is once again the other cast. And actually there's much better action scenes in this and a lot more than the first one. This is one of the lowest rated Marvel films on Rotten Tomatoes with only 65%. And the ending where we find out Loki's not dead is a big surprise. He's still my favourite Marvel villain though. So, yeah. Once again I still think this movie is really good so yeah I'd say it's watchable and it is really funny.

Iron Man 3
And now we come to the end of the Iron Man trilogy. This was the most successful at the box office out of all the 3. It reached the "billion" mark. What's the story? A new villain called the "Mandarin" is a murderous vigilantly and now Tony, Rhodey and the others like the army are trying to find him. One day a bunch of men in helicopters attack Tony's home and he uses one suit to fly to another part of the world to find the Mandarin. All while Tony is having nervous break downs from when he was in in the worm hole in the Avengers and he almost died from it so he's constantly having heart attacks and memories back to that moment. So what's good about this film. Well the action is very good and when you see all the Iron Man armours in the big fight at the end it's just awesome. And once again there's a lot of funny scenes. And the cast once again do great jobs in their roles. However there's not that much time of Tony in the armour. It's mostly just him out of it and just looking for the Mandarin. And I also like the ending of the film. It ties up the 3 films nicely. And now the next review will be Thor 2 then Captain America 2 then the Guardians of the Galaxy then Avengers 2. For this one though, it's good so yeah I'd say give it a watch.

Avengers Assemble
And now the big one. Avengers Assemble. The highest grossing Superhero film of all time and the 3rd highest grossing film of all time. When this film came out, everyone, and I mean everyone went nuts. And I'm not gonna lie it's one of my favourite films ever. Especially given the fact that I put it as my favourite Superhero film ever and I love it. I actually saw the 2nd one in the cinema 2 weeks ago. What's the story? At S.H.I.E.L.D headquarters the Tesseract is acting up and teleports Loki there where he makes Selvig and "Clint Barton/Hawkeye" and a couple other S.H.I.E.L.D members his service by put a spell on them using his sceptre. They still the Tesseract because Loki needs it to bring his army called the "Chitauri" and rule Earth. So Nick decides to call in Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, Thor and Bruce Banner to help get it back and stop Loki. And the rest I'm pretty sure is straight forward. So what's about his film? Actually what isn't? Everything is perfect. The action, the acting, the cast, the size, the settings and even the dialog. This film has some of the best action ever. And especially when you see all these heroes together it's awesome. The final fight between the 6 heroes and the Chitauri is just amazing and awesome to watch. And once again there's a lot of funny scenes in this I'm pretty sure everyone laughs at every single time they watch it. And another great part of the film is where we see "Thanos." The most powerful villain the Avengers have ever faced in the comics. And yeah we see him in his film, Guardians of the Galaxy and the in second Avengers film and we haven't yet seen him do anything. It's not until the 2nd Avengers film he says he finally gonna do something and I can't wait until the 3rd Avengers film called "Infinity War - Part 1" and the Marvel films that are apart of this film trilogy are "Ant-Man, Captain America 3, Thor 3, Doctor Strange, Guardians of the Galaxy, a Spider-Man film (YES, FINALLY) he's probably going to be in the Infinity Wars - Part 2 like a couple of the others I just mentioned, Black Panther and Captain Marvel." If their going to be in the Infinity Wars - Part 2 it will become my new favourite superhero film. But back to this film, for what it is, it a spectacular film and it deserves every bit of the praise it's getting. And I'd say watch it but let's face it, you already have.
Captain America: The First Avenger
Like my last review I'm just gonna star with the story. What's the story? In World War 2 "Steve Rogers" played by "Chris Evans" is a small, skinny 18 year-old who wants to join the army. Then one day a scientist named "Abraham Erskine" sees him and offers him a chance be a part of an experiment that might be able to get him into the army. When he goes to it along with another person named "Peggy Carter." In the experiment it causes him to be taller and stronger. Just then Erskine is shot and the guy who killed him steals a vile of something. Steve catches him and he dies somehow, I never got that. During one day Steve finds out his best friend "Bucky Barnes" has been captured and goes out to save him along with a couple others. He, Howard Stark (Tony's dad), Bucky and the others then all try to top the evil villain of the movie "Red Skull" played by "Hugo Weaving." So what's good about this film? Well like every other Marvel film the cast is great especially Chris Evans as Captain America. Chris Evans actually did another Marvel character "Johnny Storm" from the two original Fantastic 4 films, that I might or might not review. But actually, in this film we get a few answers from Iron Man 2 about Howard. And like a lot of other Marvel films that's in this film is the comedy they keep doing. That's one thing I like about these Marvel films is the humour they keep doing that always makes us laugh and some jokes make us laugh hard. But aside from that the film is still good. At the end of the film, and I'm not talking about the end of the credits, I'm talking about the very last scene before the credits, Steve crashes a plane into ice water and freezes for 70 years and awakens after being thawed out and brought to New York. He meets Nick who tells him he's been a sleep for 70 years. And next review is the big one. I'm 100% certain you know what I'm talking about. For this one though I'd say take a look.

Thor
I'm just gonna start with the story. What's the story? Thor Odinson, played by "Chris Hemsworth" is the god of thunder and prince of Asgard. The day of his coronation as king, "Frost giants" come to Asgard to get back a casket that Thor's father "Odin" stole years ago. Because of this interference, it delayed time before Odin could name Thor king. He and a few of his friends including his brother "Loki" played by "Tom Hiddleston" go to the Frost Giants' home planet and fight them. During the fight, Odin comes and brings them back. Because of his arrogant, reckless and clumsy behaviour Odin strips Thor of his powers and his hammer "Mjolnir" and sent down to Earth as a human. While there he meets two scientists named "Jane Foster" played by "Natalie Portman" and "Eric Selvig" played by "Stellan Skarsgard" and their assistant "Darcy." While there he begins to learn a few things and Loki has taken over as king of Asgard while Odin has falling into a deep sleep. And I'm pretty sure you can guess the rest. So what's good about this movie? Well, once again the cast is pretty good and the effects are very, very well done especially during the ending fight scene between Thor and Loki. Speaking of Loki. He's my favourite villain of this Avengers trilogy. You can tell Tom Hiddleston loves eating up the role. I'd say the only problem I have with the film is that there's too much too much talking and not enough action scenes. But what they do to make up for that is the action scenes and how they're really cool to look at. Also at the end of the film there's a scene at the end of the credits, like every other Marvel film, where Nick talks to Selvig and shows him the "Tesseract" a cube of unlimited power. Why do I bring this up!? Because when we get to the Avengers review, it's going to be a key thing. So to end I guess this movie is good. Not exactly the best but still good all the same. I guess it's worth a few viewings.

Iron Man 2
This was actually said to be the lowest of the Iron Man films. You can see it on Rotten Tomatoes. While the first one has 93%, this one only has 73%. But to be honest I actually remember this being my favourite out of all the Iron Man films. I'm not entirely sure now. What's the story? Tony is back but it turns out he's dying. The ark reactor inside him is killing him, even though it's supposed to be keeping him alive. Also with him having a situation about his dead dad and not understanding most things about him. Also with having another man named "Ivan Vanko" also called by his super villain name "Whiplash" is out to kill Tony with having made his own ark reactor and to electrical whips. And also while having Tony making Pepper the CEO of Stark industries and him giving away all his things. And at one scene where Rhodey takes one of his Iron Man suits to try and stop him. And yeah, there's a few more details like that. And it's way to hard to say them all and I guess that that is a problem with the film. So what's good about this film? Well the cast is still really good. And this time Rhodey is played by "Don Cheadle." And he gets to be "War Machine" and that is really cool to look at at the end of the film. And the other fights are actually really impressive and I think are actually better than the first film's fights. So yeah, I think this film's good, not perfect but good. I'm not sure if I'd say that this is my favourite Iron Man film but it's alright. I'd say watch it.

The Incredible Hulk
Yeah this is the sequel to the not good first Hulk film. What's the story? "Bruce Banner" played by "Edward Norton" is the "Hulk" a ginormous, strong, green creature who only smashes everything. Well he being hunted down by the military to be killed so the Hulk can't hurt anyone but at the end one of the general's soldiers is transformed into the villain, the "Abomination" and that's it, Literally that's the movie. Bruce trying to escape from the military and trying to live while also having a relationship with the general's daughter named "Betty Ross." So what's good about this film? Well to be honest there's not that much to have fun with. I think Hulk appears for only 3 scenes and even the first scene he's not there for that long. It's mostly just Bruce to survive and trying to live with Betty. But the goods things are actually with the Hulk and the action. The best action scene is Hulk and Abomination at the end. Watch this.
But aside from that it's not really that good. But actually at the end Tony Stark appears at where the General is and tells him what "Nick Fury" played by "Samuel L. Jackson," told him the Iron Man film about the Avengers, and yeah, it's Samuel L. Jackson, how can you go wrong with that. I'd say take a look but don't really expect that much.
Iron Man
This film is going to start what I call the Avengers trilogy. What the story? "Tony Stark", played by "Robert Downey Jr." is an eccentric billionaire who, one day is shot by missiles and brought to Russia where shrapnel is inside him and is close to entering his heart and killing him, so his cellmate named "Yinsen" makes him something to stop it then he makes another one called an "Arc Reactor" so he doesn't have to carry a car battery everywhere. While also being there he makes a robotic armour that he can get into and he uses it to escape and gets home from having his friend named "Rhodey" played by "Terrence Howard." When he get's back he makes a new armour, and have to say, when it gets it pain job, it's really, really cool. One night he finds out the weapons are being used by other people he decides to destroy them but that means dying himself. All this is happening while one of his employees named "Obadiah Stane" played by "Jeff Bridges" is making his own armour to kill Tony. And also there's also another key character named "Pepper Potts" played by "Gwyneth Paltrow." So what's good about this film? Well the action and C.G.I are both spectacular and the cast as well especially Robert Downey Jr. as Tony. You can tell he's just loves to eat up the roll. He's just perfect. And the rest of the cast do pretty good performances. And like I said before the armour is actually really cool looking and cool to look at. So yeah, I think this is a really good movie, especially seeing how it's the most praised out of all the Iron Man films on Rotten Tomatoes and by critics. I would say take a look.
