Movie: Star Trek

OK, this movie I would pay money to see again! Loved it. Funny without being geeky, intriguing to see all the main characters come together through different circumstances and big space battles. Seeing the Enterprise for the “first time” was also really cool! 4 out of 5.

Movie: Angels and Demons

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better than the tragically unsuccessful adaption that was The DaVinci Code. Angels and Demons was a real step up this time. To be honest I still don’t particularly like Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon but we have been trying to rack our brains for a good alternative. Still nothing. Ewan McGregor was excellent and the views of Rome and The Vatican stunning. Would even consider a trip to Italy now 🙂
The locations were great and the acting good but it still doesn’t manage to pull off portraying Robert as per the book. Tom’s version of Robert comes across as being ready with scripted answers to the riddles as opposed to seeing the character work through the problem. 2.5 out of 5.

Movie: X-Men Origins – Wolverine

We have seen a number of movies lately but they are all sitting in my “drafts” folder waiting to be written about. Hugh Jackman returns in the role of Wolverine but this time we see where he comes from and how he became the way he is (very vague I know but I don’t won’t to spoil it for those that haven’t a clue about Wolverine). Liev Schreiber also joins the story as a baddie and as always is fab. I enjoyed the story, loved the cinematography but did think it was rather more graphic and violent than a 12A. 3 out of 5.
