X-Men: 2014 Cast: Hugh Jackman (as Wolverine), Jennifer Lawrence (as Mystique), Michael Fassbender (as Magneto), James McAvoy (as Professor X), Patrick Stewart (as Professor X), Evan Peters (as Quicksilver), Halle Barry (as Storm), Nicholas Hoult (as Beast), Lucas Till (as Havok) IMDB: 8 Like all the X Men movies, it consists the same team. This time, X Men is trying to prevent a war going on between mutants and humans. Humans have invented gigantic robots that were made by mutant genes so they're unstoppable. X Men send Wolverine back in time to erase their mistakes which was Mystique fighting against humanity. Personal Thoughts: First of all, it was awesome. I liked how the time shifts were so professional. Everything about the plot was logical. It was also funny at times but mostly, it made me wonder if the war was gonna be prevented or not since Mystique held her guard against all the X Men members. Of course, my favourite character was Quicksilver. Although I quite like Magneto as well. I first watched X Men Apocalypse but this one was as good as the other one, maybe even better in terms of the plot. In comparison, Apocalypse had some nonsense scenes but it didn't make any difference. The movie was quite entertaining no matter what. I recommend everyone to watch this one if they're looking for something entertaining. quotes
Cast: Anne Hathaway (as Jane Austen), James McAvoy (as Tom Lefroy)
It's a biographical movie about the writer Jane Austen's life. Many of the people didn't believe she could be a writer because of the society's structure in those times and the strict moral rules which were even more clear in the countryside. Jane is stubborn, passionate, scenical and confident. She is confident and brave. She doesn't care about money or men around her unlike the other women. She meets Tom Lerfroy who also happens to be as stubborn and as passionate as her. Their interests differ but they're both strong characters which causes for them to hate each other even before they meet each other. One thing they're strictly different about is morality. Tom, is considered immoral compared to the other people around him. He's careless, wild and as Jane Austen says once, dangerous. But he has an advantage: experience which is something Jane lacks of. They complete each other in a way that no other can understand. No money or status can change. They fall in love not in an easy way. Neither of them has money to live. They have belief in their love but it doesn't last long. The reality hits them and that's how their love dies. It practically never dies (Tom gets married to someone else and calls her first daughter Jane and Jane never gets married.)
Personal Thoughts: It is one of my favourite movies. Anne Hathaway and Tom Leroy was absolutely great. I was in love with them. I was basically fan-girly through the whole movie. It was just perfect. The first scene Tom Leroy was in was really cool I think. They really introduced his character well. I'm glad they chose James McAvoy for the character because he's really cool and handsome and I kinda have a crush on him since X Men. He was the arrogant bad boy of the old times. Their love slowly forms and at first it's kind of invisible but they surely have an attraction. Jane looks for him in everywhere which was one of the best scenes. (after the cricket scene where she kicks Tom's ass) I loved it when Tom suddenly appeared in the dance. I can't really say more than I love the movie. I also watched Pride and Prejudice (which is one of Jane Austen's books) but I liked Becoming Jane more. Maybe it's because of the characters or the events. In Pride and Prejudice, they didn't like each other at first too but in Becoming Jane every emotion was clearly visible. Also I found it really amusing Tom appearing when Jane was gossiping about him. It actually shows how much she cares about him. Like I said, it's one of the movies that really gives the feeling. I made literally everyone around me watch it and no one ever disliked it so I suggest you to watch it too (if you enjoy romance)
X Men: Apocalypse: 2016 IMDB: 7.4 Cast: Jennifer Lawrence (as Mystique), James McAvoy (as Alexander Xavier), Evan Peters (as Quicksilver), Nicholas Hault (as Beast), Lucas Till (as Alex), Hugh Jackman (as Wolverine) It's about the time before the first X Men movie. Basically, it shows us how the events came to the point which are on the first movie. Some characters are played by the same people but there surely are some additional characters. It's ok if you didn't watch the first because their times are in the reverse order. X Men is a group of mutated people who has special powers and uses them to save the world form evil. This movie of X Men is about an ancient god reborning and trying to control the world again by killing all the humans. X Men, tries to save the world from the so called god. Personal Thoughts: The movie was great and I liked it really much. Maybe it's just because I watched it at the cinema and I really like sic-fi I don't know, because some people thought is wasn't even good. The cinema has this effect on me. Most of the time I can't resist and automatically like the movie more. It actually was pretty cool. Especially the whole super power thing. I liked Evan Peters in this movie. I've never seen him playing such a goofy character before but the role suits him and he was adorable. He brings some casualness to the movie. I thought it was better than the first one because the new characters are cool and there are some really funny scenes. Of course seeing the actors I like together has an effect on me but that's not the only reason why I liked the movie. James McAvoy was definitely better looking than the old Dr. X. His love to Moira was cute. I liked the idea that he erased all her memory and met her again and again without her being aware of it. I still don't get how he can move objects with his mind but still can't move his legs?? As to the other characters, Nicholas Hault is a really charismatic person so I wasn't quite happy to see him as the beast. Hugh Jackman was only in one scene in this movie and it was a pointless scene. About the reborned god... He was pretty funny:D I laughed at most of his scenes without a reason. He just comes out of nowhere and no one knows him. He keeps acting weird and everyone is like "wtf?" My favourite character in this movie was probably Quicksilver. I think you should all watch it, it really is a funny movie. quotes
Victor Frankenstein: 2016 IMDB: 6 Cast: Daniel Radcliffe (as Igor), James McAvoy (as Victor Frankenstein) The movie is based on Marry Shelley's "Frankenstein" novel. The story of Dr. Frankenstein is well known. In this movie, the unknown parts of the story has been told. Not only Frankenstein but the partner of him, Igor, has a major role in the story. It all starts with the story of a nameless hunchback that works in a circus. Works is not the right word. He's being tortured in front of people for fun. He doesn't know that he's being tortured because he never experienced kindness. If he disobeys, they lock him in an animal cage. The cage scene shows people's perspective about the hunchback. Still, it doesn't stop him from being a genius. He has to hide his intelligence and be trampled everyday to survive because that's the only way of living he knows. One day Victor Frankenstein comes to the circus and sees his medical talent. He helps the hunchback run away from the circus and gives him a name. Together, they work to achieve immortality. Frankenstein's reason to bring dead to life is because he believes he killed his own brother and feels like he owes this to him. The movie is based on his experiments. Personal Thoughts: I watched the movie today and it was a good especially if you like sic-fi. Of course I loved the character of Frankenstein because of James McAvoy. He did a really good job. I realised he always has charismatic roles in the movies and it fits him. I first saw James McAvoy in "Becoming Jane" and I was literally in love with him. Last week I saw him on "X Men: Apocalypse" he was great on both of them. You should see those too. The thing I liked most about the movie was the scenes that Igor was a hunchback. It showed how they've valued him back then before he turned into the person he is. Also I always tend to find the circus scenes interesting. Maybe it's because of the idea of people coming together to entertain others. Igor was being beaten just to entertain them. Daniel Radcliffe did a good job on being the hunchback. His moves were so realistic. It really looked like he had a problem in his spine. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the movie:) quotes
