X-Men III: A Review Essay

In my opinion, I feel that this movie, compared to today’s standards, is poor quality. From the 1980’s to the current time, the Hollywood industries and other movie producers have made astronomical improvements with every film released, and ever since

Both posters have been created paying careful attention to detail as well as attention to Spiderman and his love interest facial expressions, leaving the posters looking utterly sensational and realistic. Not only do the posters portray a major breakthrough in modern technology, but they also reflect the spectacular quality of the film. As film history has progressed, so too has the sophistication of filmmaking technology, from cameras, to sound recording, to editing. However, just because technology is more advanced today than in 2002, it does not mean that it is necessarily superior to ‘Spider-man’ (2002). Rather, technological advancements in these areas expand the creative potential of the film. Advanced technology is advantageous in that it broadens the toolset available to the filmmaker so that they may create a mind-blowing film, captivating to its audience. As the evolution of the film has progressed, the catalogue of cinematic formal elements has grown, enabling filmmakers to make more complex films, such as, ‘The Amazing Spider-man’, which has opened doors to a broad spectrum of phenomenal, action-packed superhero films which will continue to have a world-wide impact on superhero

When the term “X-Men”, comes to my mind, I immediately deem of an individuals with their own unique abilities, lovable characters, their characteristics features, qualities, traits, aspects with cool special costumes. I’m sure of it, everyone gets the impression of the X-Men same way as I does. The X-Men are superheroes with the powers, fighting bad guys and making the world peaceful and standing up for what is right and fair. Am I correct? However, as I grew older, my conscience begin to comprehend that X-Men were more than the superheroes. They were born with an unique “gifts” that granted them superhuman strengths that makes them totally different from the rest of the normal people. We call them the “Mutant”. What is a Mutant?

I believe that this action packed blockbuster that gave Leonardo DiCaprio an Oscar is boring. I believe this not because it has a poor scenery or bad acting, the acting is phenomenal and the scenery and special effects are very detailed and

Xavier, also known as Professor X, is a foil to Magneto even though they were teammates back in World War II. Xavier can be considered as a foil because he has different opinions against Magneto. More in an example of, Xavier being as the less violent and less crucial leader whereas Magneto is more like a villain who wants to save the mutants by making the humans into mutants. Matthew Vaughn uses Xavier as the foil be creating contrasts against these two characters. Since they are most likely being metaphoric described as Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcom X. Therefore, a bad guy always need another hero to balance out the power. In addition, there’s always someone who needs to create the sympathetic ideal for Magneto due to his death of his

One example of this is that Aylmer made a potion to extend life. According to Aylmer this potion, ”could apportion the lifetime of any mortal at whom you might point your finger. The strength of the dose would determine whether he were to linger out years, or drop dead in the midst of a breath”(Hawthorne 13). Much like his birthmark removing procedure, this potion would probably also fail miserably since life is supposed to end eventually. Another example is when Aylmer mentions that he could dethrone kings if he wanted to. Aylmer states, “No king on his guarded throne could keep his life if I, in my private station, should deem that the welfare of million justified depriving him of it"(Hawthorne 13). He thinks that with this potion that he could decide who lives and who dies for the “greater good.” In summary, Playing god should not be done by a human scientist, who is obsessed with perfecting something he

The movie takes place in the year 2029 where the original Mutants, or X-Men have perished or have been hunted down and killed.

Originally created by Stan Lee (writer) and Jack Kirby (artist), ‘X-Men’ is a graphic novel or comic book series that has spanned many decades. ‘X-Men’ first appeared in September 1963 and has since gained a large following and spread to multiple forms of media including film and TV. Published by Marvel comics, the series focuses on a group of ‘mutants’ who suffer a large amount of prejudice from the general population, finding salvation together in the mansion of a character named Professor Xavier. Released in a time of large social discrimination, but also a time of increasing views of equality, ‘X-Men’ was a true sign of the times. ‘X-Men’ was aimed at the population of America and the west,

One would assume that with a group of talented, well chosen actors, a film would be a blockbuster. Alas, it was the cheesy cinematography that let the film down. The zoom when Edward fell in love with Kim’s photograph was terrible, and the same thing was repeated multiple times! And a lot of the time, the camera was in the wrong spot, failing to catch the key emotion. Although this put down the entire movie, the mise en scene made up for a lot of it.

“What’s nice about this X-Men is that it’s very much an origin story for everyone; it is all their beginnings, so it doesn’t exactly have to sync up with where we last saw these characters chronologically and who they are to us now,” he said.

After confirmations that the new X-Men spinoff "Gambit" will feature Channing Tatum in the leading role, rumors have indicated that that the actor will leave the movie's cast.

In the film, Logan, the major characters are “Wolverine” (X-24) played by Hugh Jackman, Charles portrayed by Patrick Stewart, Daphne

Some groups think that it is ethically wrong to transfer genes from one species to another species. Kaiser (2008) stated, “This attitude is occasionally grounded in a religious belief that it is not up to humankind to violate boundaries that are set by God” (p.3). This line of thought is referred to as the "Playing-God"-argument (Chadwick, 1989) which states, any modification of nature through the addition of new genes is morally unacceptable according to this argument. The argument does not occur in the Bible, but is based on an analysis of God's will (Straughan, 1996). There is one basic hypothesis of the “Playing-God” argument. This hypothesis states God has drawn up invisible boundaries between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of humans.

The minute that the opening credits for Logan began to roll, we could see that this would easily be the best wolverine solo film that Marvel has produced. And yet, as limbs were severed and blood poured onto the pavement mere moments into the film, it became blatantly obvious that with Logan, we would not be getting some run off the mill, generic superhero film that has become the staple of not just the wolverine solo films, but the superhero genre in general over the last couple of years, (with the exception of hit film Deadpool). In Logan, we were getting a film that is a groundbreaking, deep, character driven, violent, heartbreaking tale of staggering genius, that just so happens to be a super hero film.

I love the Avengers. They’re a power group of phenomenal superheroes, including: Captain America, Iron Man, Black Widow, The Hulk, Hawkeye, and Thor. The Avengers are my favorite superhero group because of all the amazing talent that each member has to offer to the group. Captain America is strong and has strong leadership skills, Iron Man is a genius and an indestructible iron suit, Black Widow is an incredible fighter and has strong will, The Hulk superhuman physical abilities, Hawkeye is a trained marksman and archer, and Thor is strong and has a hammer that can summon storm elements. With all their abilities and powers, they’re indestructible! Unfortunately, we don’t have super people running around in extremely tight pants and capes just
