Review of Logan




“WOW, what a Perfect movie” is what I thought to myself as I wiped the tears from my eyes walking out of the cinema at 2 am. I have honestly never seen such an incredible fusion of action, drama, sci-fi madness and pure emotion in a movie. In my opinion, Logan is the greatest superhero movie ever and one of the greatest movies in years.

This film has everything going for it, let’s start with acting, Hugh Jackman’s performance is fantastic he manages to capture the pain of the ageing Logan while managing to portray the unbridled rage of the wolverine who is caring for the elderly professor Charles Xavier.

Sir Patrick Stewart’s performance is yet again outstanding, he is fully able to show the struggle of an old man who is now not only lost the use of his legs but is also now losing control of his whole body. Between the two you full feel the pain of two of the last living mutants.

Dafne Keen’s portrayal of Laura aka X-23 is truly flawless for such a young actress she masterfully acts the role of a withdrawn child while managing to show the pure animalistic rage that comes with the powers.

These three demonstrate the full range of emotion the rage, anger, sorrow, despair and joy and you feel each one you are fully immersed in the adventure, their journey becomes ours. While the drama and story is fully explored in this film it really doesn’t lack for action.

This is the first R-rated wolverine film and it really pays off the fighting style and the lethality of the wolverine is properly displayed and there is some really shocking and impressive fight scenes. For all the success of the MUC movies, I honestly feel they will struggle to match this. Logan is easily the best comic book movie I have ever seen easily standing as tall as Iron man, Spider-man 2 and Doctor Strange.


This film is the perfect send off to Hugh Jackman’s wolverine and Patrick Stewart’s Professor X, this is a film that should win awards and honestly should be considered the standard on how to make a superhero movie that has a heartfelt driven story that in the space of 1 minute can make your audience go OH! With the action and then cry with the emotion.

This is a solid 10/10

Mass Effect: Andromeda 18 Months on– A Good Game Trapped in a Great Shadow.

       We have all seen the reviews, we have all seen the memes and we have all seen the fallout. Mass Effect Andromeda (ME:A) the latest game in one of the greatest franchises in gaming history was utterly slaughtered by critics and fans Alike. Following the reputation of the original trilogy, a great set of trailers. People had their hopes up. People expecting a game on the level of the divine majesty of ME:2, or the very least the set up of ME:1, were disappointed with bad reviews and a buggy game. Now 18 months on after the patches and near collapse of Bioware I play ME:A for the first time to see if this game deserves the flack it got, to decide whether poor Management decisions, a bad game or high fan expectations is the reason we may never get a conclusion to this story or even another addition to the Mass effect title. Animation and Graphics. Now one of the first things I noticed, within the first few hours, was that the animations were so...

YouTube's ADPOCALYPSE: the consequences.

Image
I am sure you have heard of it but for those that don't know, What was/is the Adpocalyse? Well, in a sentence it was a series of "improvements" to allow advertisers to pull or customise where their ads would and wouldn't be placed, to allow their ads to be better received and more effective. This did not turnout as planned, what actually happened is that many prominent and not so prominent YouTubers found they had a drop in ads and massive drops of ad revenue. This change was obviously taken very poorly, A for the lack of warning given to creators and B the rather inconsistent and some would say unfair drops of income, Some would experience a drop of 80% in earnings were some would find no drop at all for very similar content. There was some serious outrage that i am sure you have seen. The fallout While it has taken some time for the effects to be clear, In my honest opinion the Adpocalypse could be the end of Youtube for several reasons. It...

Plagiar-what? My tips on how to avoid plagiarism

Image
For me when I was in high school and College all I need to do to avoid plagiarism was not to copy and paste, I was not prepared for how complex the task of writing a 1500 word assignment without plagiarising was. when I was given that don't plagiarise talk in my induction I didn't realise how hard it was when I got my assignment back.  So what is plagiarism? Well according to my university Anglia Ruskin plagiarism is defined as "Plagiarism is when you present someone else’s work, words, images, ideas, opinions or discoveries, whether published or not, as your own. It is also when you take the artwork, images, creative practice or computer-generated work of others, without properly acknowledging where this is from or you do this without their permission".  This definition simply means that any information that you find and repurpose for your assignments,that isn't common knowledge for the subject area, must be referenced correctly in your institution...
