Advantages: Mildly entertaining
Disadvantages: Changes spoil it for those who remember Christopher Reeves Superman

With mass destruction threatening America and the realization that the woman he loves may no longer love him, Superman must once more ...
...to experience the last cinematic Superman franchise which featured the brilliant and sadly missed Christopher Reeves, but this latest reincarnation of the Superman franchise really does feel like a damp squib. Yes it is mildly entertaining, and the special effects are for the most superior to those which featured in the Superman films of the 70s/80s, but for me those are the only positives I can pull from a film which had so much promise but delivered ...

...Certificate: 12A (in the UK) The first film release is the most sensational out of the 3. This is because it is where Peter Parker (played by Tobey Maguire) is transformed by a red-blue coloured spider into a superhero. We also see the departure of his uncle, Ben (played by Cliff Robertson) which leads to the hero becoming more responsible. We are also introduced to Aunt May (played by Rosemary Harris), who goes through so much as an Aunt and as ... Read review

Advantages: Uncut episodes, setting the scene for great plots twists in later episodes
Disadvantages: Poor subtitles, nothing really happens plot wise due to small number of episodes.

...although I prefer to watch Naruto in Japanese. Unfortunately you just cant with this box set. This series is aimed at children, without a doubt. So if you are a teenager or older you would have to be patient when watching this show. Even when they have good plot twist and well written stories they have to spend forever explaining them because they seem to think they are talking to idiots. There are parts of the anime which are very slow, and others ...
...if you intend to collect Naruto discs then this is a must. The uncut versions of the episodes are much more enjoyable to watch than the edited, so if you have seen the TV-PG versions and felt it needed more gore and action then here it is. The original Japanese manga was pretty heavy on blood and action but that seems to have all been filtered away. I would have given this a very high score were it not for the awful subtitles, but then again most ... Read review

Advantages: Great acting, direction and story
Disadvantages: None

...really enjoying. That movie was Ronin and since that fateful night watching the movie channels it has become one of my favourite films. It does seem to be a film people discovered more by accident than anything else but I've always thought it was a great film. When a freelancing former US government agent (De Niro) is hired to take part in a job to track down and take a mysterious package it all seems quite easy. The package is wanted by both the ...
...Irish hire a team of Ronin to try and steal the package. The Ronin is a term used for ancient Japanese Samurai Warriors without masters and the group the Irish hire are quite similar to these ancient Warriors. Of course things are never straight forward in this tale of treachery, betrayal and deceit. This is a very fast paced action movie and one of the few I really feel is crying out for a sequel, but will probably never get one. The story keeps ... Read review
