To take on such a dated franchise and modernise it to make it cool again was a huge thing to do. A few years on the film still holds up as a sleek looking sci fi epic with great effects and cast. The weakness here was always Bana as the villain and still is a weak addition, but it allowed much more character development within star fleet. I was never a trek fan and this made trek cool and relevant again and that got me excited.

The difficult third film, Iron Man 3 manages to take a lot of the same plot devices from the second outing and make them work. The humour is Iron Mans biggest asset this time and it works for it. By now we know the character and RDJ is a big attraction to the film, they utilise him to the max here. It's hard to discuss without spoiling a lot, but iron man delivers as an entertaining movie with top notch SFX and a killer ending to rival the avengers show stopper last year. Go see it!

A poor attempt at re branding the franchise. It's pure gore and forgets to be anything else. It's ridiculous in parts, and doesn't fail to be good fun at times, but as a quality film it doesn't compare. It lacks scares, character and plot and replaces them with blood. It's a shame to bother to remake something that embraced its camp horror back in the 80s with something that takes itself seriously and becomes a drag to watch.

A very strong action film full of great one liners and action. I was skeptical at first, but the scenario played out well enough for my to stretch my belief that something like that could maybe happen. Gerard Butler is a strong lead playing a likeable security guard with a troubled career past. It's the kind of film that has me rooting for the good guys and hating the bad guys. It takes me back to the days of good action films and reminds me that cinema can be cheesy fun without being rubbish. Go and enjoy Olympus!
