I saw three movies yesterday; Amazing Spider-Man 2, Son of Batman, All Superhero Must Hero Die. Here's my opinion on them
Amazing Spider-Man 2Peter Parker runs the gauntlet as the mysterious company Oscorp sends up a slew of supervillains against him, impacting on his life. (

If you like a good story, well developed characters, moments that tug your heart string, humour and a small dash of amazing action scenes, then this is your film. Amazing Spider-man 2 made me fan girl through the entire thing. For those who are Spider-Man fans, you'll be excited for the little snip bits of our heroes-to-be that pop up throughout the movie. It has pretty much only 3 action scenes throughout the whole 2h22mins of film. However, they exciting and well thought out, and each fight is varied, never looking like the last one. Emma Stone's character, Gwen Stacey, is a must see in this. She did an amazing job, as did all the actors, but she came off as a strong and loveable character even through she has no powers.
A must see. 4.5/5
Son of BatmanBatman learns he has a violent, unruly pre-teen son, secretly raised by the terrorist group the League of Assassins. (

Well, it was good enough. A straight to DVD film that left me a little deflated, but kinda worth it if you like Damian Wayne. For those who had seen Batman: Under The Red Hood, you might be slightly disappointed in this one. The acting was sometimes a little flat, and the story was kinda easy, but overall I enjoyed it. Though, I'm not sure if I'm gonna be picking this one up from the store any time soon. The most exciting part was when Nightwing turned up, which is kinda suckish since the movie isn't even about him.
2/5
All Superheroes Must Die.Four Super Heroes find themselves abducted by their Arch Nemesis and are forced to compete in a series of challenges in order to save an abandoned town full of kidnapped innocent civilians. (

This film was made in 15 hours, ten day shoots with a budget of $20,000 and written in four days...so yeah, that should tell you everything. It had an interesting premise to it, but lacked pretty much everything else. I didn't care for any of the characters, the plot was simple, and just well, I was busy thinking about my essay I have to write instead. So, give it a go if you like short, different type of films. However, I think you either love this film, or are very, very disappointed with it.
Oh, and if you do watch it, wait until the credits finish for the most laughable secret ending.
1/5
