G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013)

Not the best or the worst movie of 2013

[7/10 · 6 August 2013]

Considering the source material the overall story in this movie was well done. Several of the action scenes in this movie are very memorable, such as a fight scene that takes place in a dojo high up in the mountains.Dwayne Johnson had a couple of great hand-to-hand combat scenes, in this movie as well where he pulls off some wrestling moves. I also liked the scenes with Bruce Willis, even thought they were mostly comedy roles it's understandable given his age.

Without giving anything away, the relationship between the two brothers in this movie is provides a unique and interesting side story to the already massive plot.

My only complaints with this movie are lack of character development, and some of the acting being a little to cliché.

The Wolverine (2013)

The best X-Men related film yet.

[25 July 2013]

I went into this movie with high expectations, and hoping to see the Wolverine unleash his fury on his enemies,and I was not disappointed. The action in this movie is unbelievable. Without giving too much away, I would say that the fighting in this movie was extremely well choreographed, and had some amazing weapon fights in it.

Another thing that I have loved about this movie from the very beginning is that it is set in mostly modern Japan. To me Japan really is a beautiful country, that is rarely seen in comic book films, and made for very interesting fight scenes and theme to the story arc overall.

The story was also well done in part as I mentioned before to the unique setting, as well as some of the characters like the mutant Reptile.It also plays around with the very core of Wolverine's mutant powers, and takes it in a very interesting direction that keeps fans on the edge of their seat throughout the movie.

My only very minor disappointment was in a part of the ending which was slightly predictable. Besides that however this was easily one of the best movies to come out this year, and it is a must see for Wolverine, and X-Men fans alike.
