More Super-average than Super-hero

To a die hard comic book fan, DC Universe Online may seem like the Holy Grail of video-games. The ability to create a character, choose their powers, weapons, fighting style, and even customize your own superhero costume, before going out into thebig bad world and fighting alongside and against a host of your favourite superheroes and villains, could seem like the pinnacle of enjoyment. However to the casual gamer DCUO is button-mashing MMORPG that is mediocre at best.

Dark. Brutal. Compelling. These are just three of the words I would use to describe The Last of Us. But no matter how you look at Naughty Dog’s latest release, there’s one thing that cannot be disputed. This game is an absolute triumph.

The Ranger's Return

After the success of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, it’s hardly surprising that  there was a buzz around “The Lone Ranger”. Jerry Bruckheimer promises something great, but due to bad press I didn’t go into the theatre with high hopes in mind. Well I wasn’t disappointed, so that’s something.

A Kick-Ass Sequel

Walking in to see Kick-Ass 2, I didn’t know what to expect. The original is one of my favourite films, so the sequel had big shoes to fill. Take it from me though, it doesn’t just fill those shoes, it splits the seams and bursts through them.  Kick-Ass 2 is a superhero sequel, by which all other superhero sequels should be measured.

This is the Monster Mash!

Pacific Rim and Monsters University. A double movie feature. This can only mean one thing – a double review. First up is Monsters University!

It’s been 12 years since we saw Mike Wazowski and James P. Sullivan storm onto the screen scaring kids and collecting their screams. Now we get to see how they got there. Before they were incorporated, they had to be educated. Cue feel good movie about the geek vs the jock, who eventually team up to overcome the problems of college. That’s pretty much the story and it’s massively generic, yet still charming.

Not-So-Despicable Me 2

I hate the phrase “family film”. Whenever a film is described as a “family film”, it means that the film is SUITABLE for the whole family, i.e, the kids. Very rarely does a family film actually ENTERTAIN the whole family. Despicable Me 2 is one of these rarities.
